  The Hollow Crown - Shakespeare...

  What Shakespeare's plays can teach us about modern-day politics 
   
   
   
  William Shakespeare understood power: what it is, how it works, how it is gained, and how it is lost. 
   
   
   
  In The Hollow Crown, Eliot A. Cohen reveals how the battling princes of Henry IV and scheming senators of Julius Caesar can teach us to better understand power and politics today. The White House, after all, is a court—with intrigue and conflict rivaling those on the Globe's stage—as is an army, a business, or a university. And each court is full of driven characters, in all their ambition, cruelty, and humanity. Henry V's inspiring speeches reframe John F. Kennedy's appeal, Richard III's wantonness illuminates Vladimir Putin's brutality, and The Tempest's grace offers a window into the presidency of George Washington. 
   
   
   
  An original and incisive perspective, The Hollow Crown shows how Shakespeare's works transform our understanding of the leaders who, for good or ill, make and rule our world.

  Women in the Workforce - What...

  Women are joining the workforce in increasing numbers, making inroads as entrepreneurs and leaders, acquiring more education, marrying later, and having fewer children—all trends consistent with spending a far greater fraction of their adult lives in the labor force. And yet, even as women break the glass ceiling and challenge gender and sexual norms, they are told they need to "lean in" and powerful movements like #TimesUP and #MeToo are still necessary to expose and overcome endemic discrimination, exploitation, harassment, and worse. 
   
   
   
  Women in the Workforce: What Everyone Needs to Know® provides an essential and accessible introduction to the significance of women in the economy and the obstacles they face in claiming equal status. Economists Laura M. Argys and Susan L. Averett tackle timely topics like the wage gap, "women's work," and gendered workplace interactions in an easy-to-read question and answer format. The book focuses on the choices people make and how these are framed by institutional impediments that create inequalities in the options available to men and women. Argys and Averett highlight how the experience of being a woman in the labor market varies, sometimes dramatically, by race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status. They also explore how living in cities, towns, and rural areas influence choices and outcomes.

  Ten years of riding the startup waves forced Helaine Knapp to develop grit, determination, resilience, creative problem solving, deep interpersonal skills, and her own unique leadership style. Now, she's ready to show other women how they can do the same. 
   
   
   
  With Making Waves, Helaine inspires and speaks to women who want to start something new and change their lives. If she can do it, so can they. 
   
   
   
  Not enough people are talking about how difficult it is to be a woman in business. Business is not a "man's world" anymore—it's different, emotional, and difficult. 
   
   
   
  As an in-the-spotlight female entrepreneur, Helaine Knapp navigated the twists, pivots, and multiple points of rock bottom, each time finding a way over and through. 
   
   
   
  Helaine's experiences transformed her into the person who could run a multi-faceted company . . . and start a movement. 
   
   
   
  But being a trailblazer who breaks the cycle isn't all rainbows and butterflies. In fact, most of it is quite the opposite—it's crying big tears, facing uncertainty, encountering problem after problem, and ultimately recognizing that "success" may just be admitting things aren't working and knowing it’s time to move on. The end will surprise you.
