Rlpg/Galleys Gender Work and Harness Racing
Book SynopsisWhile gender equality has progressed in many sports since the second wave of the feminist movement in terms of women's inclusion, participation, and success, harness horse racing has been recalcitrant to change. Gender, Work, and Harness Racing: Fast Horses and Strong Women in Southwestern Pennsylvania investigates the stories of women involved in harness racing to expose how they use the uniqueness of their situation to work for positive change. With stirring accounts of the strong women who are surviving, and sometimes succeeding, in harness horse racing, Elizabeth Anne Larsen's analysis provides insight for studies of gender and work, occupational sex segregation, and women's studies.Trade ReviewElizabeth Anne Larsen takes us inside the fascinating—and often brutal—gendered world of harness racing. This engrossing study shows how women carve out a place in a male-dominated business of sports. -- Kathleen M. Blee, University of Pittsburgh; author of Inside Organized Racism: Women in the Hate MovementWomen's gains in professional sports in the post-Title IX era are notably absent in the world of harness racing. Elizabeth Anne Larsen explains how patriarchal relations in the family businesses of owners and trainers sustain and reinforce the marginalization of women in the sport, and shows readers how a growing connection between the sport and the casino/gaming industry is changing the underlying business model, potentially providing an opening for reorganizing gender relations in a way that builds on concepts and strategies from third wave feminism. This book will appeal to anyone interested in gender inequality in sport and in culture industries more broadly. -- William T. Bielby, University of Illinois at ChicagoThis very provocative book explores issues that are normally ignored in harness racing. While far more women hold prominent positions in harness racing today, success for women in the sulky has remained out of reach. It is ironic and unfortunate that in the years of harness racing’s greatest popularity, women were still confined to mostly domestic responsibilities. -- Dean A.

Simon & Schuster Bullshit Jobs
Book SynopsisFrom David Graeber, the bestselling author of The Dawn of Everything and Debt—“a master of opening up thought and stimulating debate” (Slate)—a powerful argument against the rise of meaningless, unfulfilling jobs…and their consequences.Does your job make a meaningful contribution to the world? In the spring of 2013, David Graeber asked this question in a playful, provocative essay titled “On the Phenomenon of Bullshit Jobs.” It went viral. After one million online views in seventeen different languages, people all over the world are still debating the answer. There are hordes of people—HR consultants, communication coordinators, telemarketing researchers, corporate lawyers—whose jobs are useless, and, tragically, they know it. These people are caught in bullshit jobs. Graeber explores one of society’s most vexing and deeply felt concerns, indicting among other villains a par

Penguin Putnam Inc Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams Pull Together
Book SynopsisThe New York Times bestseller by the acclaimed, bestselling author of Start With Why and Together is Better. Now with an expanded chapter and appendix on leading millennials, based on Simon Sinek''s viral video "Millenials in the workplace" (150+ million views).Imagine a world where almost everyone wakes up inspired to go to work, feels trusted and valued during the day, then returns home feeling fulfilled. This is not a crazy, idealized notion. Today, in many successful organizations, great leaders create environments in which people naturally work together to do remarkable things. In his work with organizations around the world, Simon Sinek noticed that some teams trust each other so deeply that they would literally put their lives on the line for each other. Other teams, no matter what incentives are offered, are doomed to infighting, fragmentation and failure. Why?The answer became clear during a conversation with a Marine Corps general. "Officers eat last," he said. Sinek watched as the most junior Marines ate first while the most senior Marines took their place at the back of the line. What''s symbolic in the chow hall is deadly serious on the battlefield: Great leaders sacrifice their own comfort--even their own survival--for the good of those in their care. Too many workplaces are driven by cynicism, paranoia, and self-interest. But the best ones foster trust and cooperation because their leaders build what Sinek calls a "Circle of Safety" that separates the security inside the team from the challenges outside.Sinek illustrates his ideas with fascinating true stories that range from the military to big business, from government to investment banking.
