The publication of Germaine Greer's (1939-) The Female Eunuch in 1970 was a landmark event, raising eyebrows and ire while creating a shock wave of recognition in women around the world with ots steadfast assertion that sexual liberation is the key to women's liberation. Today, Greer's scaring examination of the oppression of women in contemporary society is both an important historical record of where we've been and a shockingly relevant treatise on what still remains to be achieved.

Technologies may change, but the need for clear and accurate communication never goes out of style. That is why for more than one hundred years The Chicago Manual of Style has remained the definitive guide for anyone who works with words. In the seven years since the previous edition debuted, we have seen an extraordinary evolution in the way we create and share knowledge. This seventeenth edition of The Chicago Manual of Style has been prepared with an eye toward how we find, create, and cite information that readers are as likely to access from their pockets as from a bookshelf. It offers updated guidelines on electronic workflows and publication formats, tools for PDF annotation and citation management, web accessibility standards, and effective use of metadata, abstracts, and keywords. It recognizes the needs of those who are self-publishing or following open access or Creative Commons publishing models. The citation chapters reflect the ever-expanding universe of electronic sources-including social media posts and comments, private messages, and app content-and also offer updated guidelines on such issues as DOIs, time stamps, and e-book locators. Other improvements are independent of technological change. The chapter on grammar and usage includes an expanded glossary of problematic words and phrases and a new section on syntax as well as updated guidance on gender-neutral pronouns and bias-free language. Key sections on punctuation and basic citation style have been reorganized and clarified. To facilitate navigation, headings and paragraph titles have been revised and clarified throughout. And the bibliography has been updated and expanded to include the latest and best resources available. This edition continues to reflect expert insights gathered from Chicago's own staff and from an advisory board of publishing experts from across the profession. It also includes suggestions inspired by emails, calls, and even tweets from readers. No matter how much the means of communication change, The Chicago Manual of Style remains the ultimate resource for those who care about getting the details right.

BOOK DESCRIPTION

Marriage as we know it is failing. The current divorce rate in America is staggering: one out of every two marriages ends in divorce.

When those couples first fell head over heels in love with each other, courted and finally married, could they have been off base about choosing a lifetime partner?

Or could it be that they were trying too hard to live up to a marriage ideal left over from another age?
Is thre a solution to the dovirce epidemic sweeping America?

Beyond Open Marriage is an honest, no axes-to-grind account of how some couples are trying to make marriage work.

The authors, Ulla and Richard J. Anobile, approach the subject not just as professional journalists, but as a couple who are intimately acquainted with the reality of living a nontraditional marriage. Their research for this controversial book took them into the heartland of America for an ubiased look at the changes some couples are quirtly bringing to a troubled institutiom.

For the first time, they report on a well-researched and volatile theory of open sexuality that may not only be the key to the future of marriage, but also an important mechanism for societal change. Their astounding interview with John and Barbara Williamson, the founders of the famous Sandstone retreat, sheds light upon a simple solution for the reversal of the self-destructive tendencies of modern man. A key to survival.

Finally, the Anobiles offer a candid account of their own six-year marriage and how it evolved from a traditonal marriage into an open marriage and now a group marriage.

BEYOND OPEN MARRIAGE is potent.

It's real. Nothing is made up. The people you will meet in this book exist here and now in America. They believe in commitment, in marriage and the importance of full, human relationships. And in the family.

Their desires to live happily ever after made them dare to create marriages tailored to theor needs rather to tradition.

BOOK DESCRIPTION

The Hite Report on the Family will cause you to rethink your childhood, your relationships, and quite possibly your life. It is a powerful and original analysis of the changing shape of private life, a profoundly optimistic and forward-looking answer to the dangerous nuclear-family-only nostalgia for the fifties that pervades the ongoing national debate on family values. Shere Hite has listened carefully to the real  stories of real people and has developed a fascinating new framework for understanding growing up, based on firstperson data rather on a preconceived model of status quo. In this book, Hite becomes the forst person to give theoretical legitimacy to all of the infinite ways that we live as "families," whether as single parents, as sam-sex parents, in traditional family groups, or alone.

This major study by a groundbreaking researcher has already been received with tremendous enthusiasm aborad, and Hite's books have sold over 20 million copies in 36 countries, including the United States. But with the 1987 publication of Women and Love, she became the vistom of aggressive media hostility. In February 1994, Susan Faludi was quoted in the New York Times as saying, "The media practically fell over themselves in their race to discredit Hite's... contrary and subversive political finding, and succeeded in depoliticizing and silencing it by sweeping aside Hite's chorus of angry women and painting the beaer of the evidence herself as a lone, angry woman instead."

In The Hite Report on the Family Hite challenges established views, arguing that the family is not collapsing but being democratized. Hite introduces a new thery of male eroticism by investigating whhy so many men and boys confuse sex and violence; she presents a lively new portrait of girls questioning their own sexual identity; and she confounds assumptions of a female "puberty" necessarily parallel to the male. Her questions are provocative and intimate: Do you know how your parents felt about having you? Did your father or mother look at pronography? At what age were your children's respect for their mothers increased with the rise in single and employed mothers?

With The Hite Report on the Family Shere Hite lights the way to understanding change of the family as the constructive result of choice not as a moral crisis, but as a successful evolution toward private democracy.
