  Inside Greek U - Fraternities...

  This study examines the potentially damaging influence of fraternities and sororities—and how a new approach could transform Greek life. 
   
  Popular films such as Revenge of the Nerds and Old School portray college Greek organizations as a training ground for malevolent young aristocrats, yet they fail to depict the enduring influence of these organizations. Inside Greek U. provides an in-depth analysis of how fraternities and sororities bolster damaging definitions of gender and sexuality, negatively impacting the lives of their members. 
   
  Using evidence gathered in hundreds of focus groups and personal interviews, as well as his years of experience as a faculty advisor to Greek organizations, Alan D. DeSantis examines the limited gender roles available to Greeks: “real men” are unemotional, sexually promiscuous, and violent; “nice girls,” are nurturing, domestic, and pure. These rigid formulations often lead to destructive attitudes and behaviors, such as eating disorders, date rape, sexual misconduct, and homophobia. They also impede students' intellectual and emotional development long after graduation. 
   
  While many students choose Greek life in search of positive social engagement, the current culture can be profoundly damaging. Inside Greek U. demonstrates how, with a new approach, fraternities and sororities could serve as an enriching influence on individuals and campus life.

  Phantoms on the Bookshelves

  Jacques Bonnet

  “A charming book full of erudition and wit” that explores the human impulse to accumulate books (Literary Review).   Jacques Bonnet, a lifelong accumulator of books ancient and modern, lives in a house large enough to accommodate his tens of thousands of volumes, as well as some overspill from the libraries of his friends. While his musings on the habits of collectors from the earliest known libraries are learned, amusing, and instructive, his advice on cataloging may even save lives.   Ranging from classical Greece to contemporary Iceland, from Balzac to Moby-Dick and Google, Phantoms on the Bookshelves is a blend of memoir, history, and love letter that will be a lasting delight for all who treasure books.

  Dating expert Jazz Vazquez explains what women don’t know about men and startling male sexual dynamics. Jazz has the shocking and sometimes disturbing inside view of the rarely exposed male psyche. What does it really mean when a man tells you he finds you fascinating? Vazquez sifts through the garbage women read in chick magazines to tell you the truth. Learn about generational sex exchanges such as moms who pawn off their adult daughters to boyfriends as well as husbands who give their wives to their senior citizen fathers as “sex offerings.”It is not what you want to hear, but what you need to know if you are a woman who wants to get married or have a hot sex life. Men like women who are tight and young. While there is still a place for older women, it is not in the bedroom unless she is hanging mini blinds or cleaning. Women who spout about their list of “what they want in a man,” are clueless to the realities of life. Mainly, women get old fast – and their market value crashes like a retail stock after Amazon takes over the industry. Find out what makes your market value rise and what makes it crash hard.

  England's Cathedrals by Train -...

  Murray Naylor

  One of the jewels in the nation's crown is its Anglican cathedrals. Many, constructed after the invasion of 1066, stand as monuments to the determination and commitment of their Norman builders. Others have been built in later centuries while some started life as parish churches and were subsequently raised to cathedral status. Places of wonder and beauty, they symbolize the Christian life of the nation and are more visited today than ever as places which represent England's religious creed, heritage and the skills of their builders.Eight hundred years later came the Victorians who pioneered the Industrial Revolution and created railways. Like their Norman predecessors they built to last and the railway system bequeathed to later generations, has endured in much the same form as when originally constructed. There is little sign that railways will be displaced by other modes of transport, anyway in the foreseeable future,Combining a study of thirty-three English cathedrals and the railway systems which allow them to be reached, the author seeks to celebrate these two magnificent institutions. In the process he hopes to encourage others to travel the same journeys as he himself has undertaken.As seen in The Church Times and Worcester News.
