Summary

Science Path explores the historical journey of women in science, highlighting systemic barriers and their significant contributions despite facing gender inequality. It addresses the critical need to understand the underrepresentation of women in scientific history and its consequences. Did you know that women faced restricted access to formal education and subtle biases in peer review and funding processes? Understanding this historical context is vital for fostering a more inclusive scientific future. The book progresses through structured chapters, starting with foundational concepts of gender inequality in science before examining specific eras and disciplines like medicine, physics, and computing. By systematically examining the historical record, Science Path demonstrates how the exclusion of women has hindered scientific progress and argues for the implementation of comprehensive strategies to promote gender equity. It draws upon archival documents, biographical accounts, and statistical data, offering a unique perspective by combining rigorous historical analysis with practical solutions.

The Love Of Long Ago & Other...

Marie Corelli

A poignant exploration of love, loss, and the passage of time, imbued with a melancholic beauty that mirrors the author’s own reckoning with mortality and the changing tides of literature. 
This collection of short stories was released just before Corelli’s death, and is unlike any of her other tales. Corelli was the bestselling queen of Victorian romantic fiction, beloved by the public and Queen Victoria herself… but the Great War (WWI) war changed everyone, Corelli included. 
Gone are the grand romances filled with passion and heartache. In their place are war-torn lives, dangerous naivety, espionage, and the savage gladness that many women felt at their husbands being called to the front. 
Written in a fractured post-war society, the tales weave together the threads of a bygone era—a time of grand passions and unshakable ideals—with the stark realities of a modern world grappling with disillusionment and grief. Corelli’s signature lyrical prose takes on a deeper, more introspective tone, as her characters navigate the fragile boundaries between memory and reality, hope and despair. Each tale explores an irresolvable conflict, an impossible situation in which one or both players are incapable of reaching across the divide that seperates them.  
We find a miner in America, upbraiding a missionary for his naivety; a haunting tune that leads the listener across windswept moors on a barren Scottish island; a wealthy American businesswoman, scorning the patriarchy of an English gent; and a monk, hiding an act of shame that fills his every waking moment, desperately trying to find someone to blame other than himself. 
The Love of Long Ago is a bittersweet farewell from a literary icon, offering readers a glimpse into the soul of an artist who witnessed the end of an era and the dawn of a new, uncertain age. A timeless meditation on love’s enduring power, this novel is both a tribute to the past and a poignant reflection on the fleeting nature of life itself.

Patriots Before Revolution - The...

Amy Watson

The American revolutionaries—George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John and Abigail Adams—called themselves Patriots. But what exactly did it mean to be a Patriot? Historian Amy Watson locates the origins of Patriotism in British politics of the early eighteenth century, showing that the label "Patriot" was first adopted by a network of British politicians with radical ideas about the principles and purpose of the British Empire. The early Patriots' ideological mission was not American independence but, rather, imperial reform: Patriots sought to create a British Empire that was militant, expansionist, confederal, and free.Over the course of the next half century, these British reformers used print media and grassroots mobilization efforts to build an empire-wide political party with adherents in London, Edinburgh, New York City, and the new colony of Georgia. While building this party, the Patriots' advocacy drew Britons into a series of violent political conflicts over taxes and civil liberty, as well as three expansive global wars, the War of Jenkins' Ear (1739–48), the War of the Austrian Succession (1740–48), and the Seven Years' War (1756–63). Patriot ideas and organizations came to divide Britons on increasingly sharp political lines, laying the groundwork for the revolutionary decades to come.

Bridgebuilders - How Government...

Donald F. Kettl, William D. Eggers

Our government is in crisis, mired in bureaucracy and often unable to fix tough problems. This book provides an essential new model for transforming the system and getting things done. 
 
 
 
COVID. Climate change. Refugee resettlement. Global supply chains. We're facing a new generation of complex problems, stretching across the public and private sectors. Historically we've looked to government for big solutions, but the reality is, the government we have now is a poor match for the problems we face. 
 
 
 
We need a fresh, new approach. As William D. Eggers and Donald F. Kettl show in this indispensable book, we need a government of bridgebuilders—public managers and leaders who collaborate with partners, both inside and outside government, to get the job done. They manage horizontally instead of vertically, they see their role as connectors, and they identify which players have the assets needed to solve the problems at hand. 
 
 
 
Each chapter examines one of the ten core principles of bridgebuilding and features practical tips and dynamic cases of how effective leaders have put each principle to work. Also included is a special section on creating a hundred-day bridgebuilding plan.
