Paperback. Etat : Good. The Grasinski Girls were working-class Americans of Polish descent, born in the 1920s and 1930s, who created lives typical of women in their day. They went to high school, married, and had children. For the most part, they stayed home to raise their children. And they were happy doing that. They took care of their appearance and their husbands, who took care of them. Like most women of their generation, they did not join the women s movement, and today they either reject or shy away from feminism.Basing her account on interviews with her mother and aunts, Mary Erdmans explores the private lives of these white, Christian women in the post World War I generation. She compares them, at times, to her own postfeminist generation. Situating these women within the religious routines that shaped their lives, Professor Erdmans explores how gender, class, ethnicity, and religion shaped the choices the Grasinski sisters were given as well as the choices they made. These women are both acted upon and actors; they are privileged and disadvantaged; they resist and surrender; they petition the Lord and accept His will.The Grasinski Girls examines the complexity of ordinary lives, exposing privileges taken for granted as well as nuances of oppression often overlooked. Erdmans brings rigorous scholarship and familial insight to bear on the realities of twentieth-century working-class white women in America.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. There are financial guides that promise to make readers rich. There are financial guides that promise security. And then there is Paul Erdman?s Money Guide , a book written by a man who spent much of his career explaining why the financial world is considerably stranger, riskier and more unpredictable than most people realise. Published in 1985 by Sphere Books, this practical guide comes from Paul Erdman, the bestselling financial novelist and commentator whose unique qualification was that he understood both economics and human behaviour. The latter, as it turns out, is often the more dangerous variable. Erdman became famous for writing financial thrillers in which banks collapsed, currencies fluctuated wildly and international markets behaved in alarming ways. The unsettling aspect is that reality has spent the intervening decades proving him right with remarkable frequency. Financial crises, market panics and economic surprises continue to arrive with impressive punctuality. In this guide, Erdman sets out to help ordinary readers navigate the often bewildering world of money, investments, inflation, savings and personal finance. The goal is not merely to explain financial systems, but to help readers survive them. There is a wonderful irony at the heart of financial advice. Human beings desperately want certainty about money, while financial markets spend most of their time demonstrating that certainty is largely fictional. Every generation believes it has finally understood how wealth works. Every generation then receives a reminder that economics retains a mischievous sense of humour. What makes this book particularly fascinating today is its historical context. Published in the mid-1980s, it reflects a world of high interest rates, changing financial markets and economic anxieties that now belong to a different era. Yet many of the underlying principles remain surprisingly familiar. Readers will encounter discussions about investing, protecting assets, understanding risk and avoiding common mistakes. Some details may have aged, but the broader lessons about human nature, speculation and financial prudence remain remarkably durable. The book also serves as a fascinating time capsule from a period when personal finance was becoming increasingly important to ordinary households. The 1980s saw dramatic changes in investment culture, home ownership and financial planning. Erdman?s guide captures many of those concerns as they unfolded. There is something refreshingly straightforward about financial books from this period. They were written before apps began promising instant wealth, before influencers offered investment advice from swimming pools and before every economic prediction arrived accompanied by a thumbnail image of somebody looking shocked. Modern readers may find themselves smiling at some of the period references while simultaneously recognising that many of the same financial concerns remain unresolved. Inflation, investment risk, market uncertainty and the temptation to chase easy money appear to be permanent features of the human condition. This 1985 Sphere Books edition remains in good condition and comes from the shelves of Crappy Old Books. It has survived stock market crashes, booms, recessions, recoveries and countless financial predictions, which is more than can be said for many investment strategies. An excellent acquisition for collectors of financial literature, economic historians, investors or anyone curious about how people thought about money in the 1980s. Informative, practical and occasionally prophetic, Paul Erdman?s Money Guide is a reminder that while markets change constantly, human behaviour rarely does.4.60 THIS BOOK BEARS THE CRAPPY OLD BOOKS STAMP.

Paperback. Etat : New. In 2013, New York City launched a public education campaign with posters of frowning or crying children saying such things as I'm twice as likely not to graduate high school because you had me as a teen and Honestly, Mom, chances are he won't stay with you. Campaigns like this support a public narrative that portrays teen mothers as threatening the moral order, bankrupting state coffers, and causing high rates of poverty, incarceration, and school dropout. These efforts demonize teen mothers but tell us nothing about their lives before they became pregnant. In this myth-shattering book, the authors tell the life stories of 108 brown, white, and black teen mothers, exposing the problems in their lives often overlooked in pregnancy prevention campaigns. Some stories are tragic and painful, marked by sexual abuse, partner violence, and school failure. Others depict "girl next door" characters whose unintended pregnancies lay bare insidious gender disparities. Offering a fresh perspective on the links between teen births and social inequalities, this book demonstrates how the intersecting hierarchies of gender, race, and class shape the biographies of young mothers.…
