"Smart women have always been able to achieve amazing things, even when the odds were stacked against them. In Wonder Women, author Sam Maggs tells the stories of the brilliant, brainy, and totally rad women in history who broke barriers as scientists, engineers, mathematicians, adventurers, and inventors. Plus, interviews with real-life women in STEM careers, an extensive bibliography, and a guide to women-centric science and technology organizations--all to show the many ways the geeky girls of today can help to build the future"--Jacket

Militantism is generally only thought of as a subset of the study of partisanship & unions, contexts where political participation is understood as something conventional. In the 1990s, however, there has been more focus on militant approaches, & articles in current issue of the Revue Francaise de Science Politique all center on the issue of social agency. Militant organizations are less an object of study in these papers & more a place for observing a collection of individual actions, with the organization seen merely as the result of a punctual equilibrium resulting from the coexistence of individuals whose presence there stems from different backgrounds & different contexts. Contributions are introduced. D. Weibel

A growing literature looks at how the design of the electoral system shapes the voting behavior of politicians in parliaments. Existing research tends to confirm that in mixed-member systems the politicians elected in the single-member districts are more likely to vote against their parties than the politicians elected on the party lists. However, we find that in South Korea, the members of the Korean National Assembly who were elected on PR lists are more likely to vote against their party leadership than the members elected in single-member districts (SMDs). This counterintuitive behavior stems from the particular structure of candidate selection and politicians' career paths. This suggests that any theory of how electoral systems shape individual parliamentary behavior needs to look beyond the opportunities provided by the electoral rules for voters to reward or punish individual politicians (as opposed to parties), to the structure of candidate selection inside parties and the related career paths of politicians.

Hwang Woo Suk was the South Korean pop star of biological research. A Nobel Prize seemed in reach & a nation foresaw a great future, but now friends & colleagues of Suk are consternated. His stem cell cloning data is fake, publications are upset, & belief in the wonderful ideal of science, with industrious, model researchers has been shaken at its foundations. Modern science is a murderous business these days, focused on money & glory, patents & careers. Thievery, deceptions, & falsification are not the rule, but are part of the agenda, with case after case with motives as numerous as human weaknesses, & the greatest betrayals where there are the greatest hopes & greatest funds. Though after all the scandals honor codes & all kinds of new controls have been widely implemented, science itself requires honor. L. Reed

"Owen Ullmann's intimate portrait of the heart and mind of Janet Yellen is the riveting story of one of the most remarkable careers of recent times. The ultimate glass-ceiling buster, Yellen is the first person to hold all three of America's top economic policy positions: Treasury Secretary (the first woman to hold the job), chair of the Federal Reserve and of the President's Council of Economic Advisers. Yellen's sheer brilliance was certainly foundational, as has been her meticulous preparation for every job she has held in academia and government. What stands out, though, are the human qualities she has maintained in a Washington policy world where fierce intellectual combat casts others as either friend or enemy, never more so than in our current age of polarization. While her accomplishments are historic, humility and compassion are her trademarks, qualities instilled by her parents: a family doctor father who labored in working class Brooklyn, treating people whether they had the ability to pay or not, and a mother who preached the ethic of public service, perseverance and nothing less than perfection in every task. As Ullmann vividly shows, empathy economics, the north star of Yellen's work as researcher, analyst, and policymaker stems from her early family life. Yellen has pushed back against the cold, abstract quality of a male-dominated economics profession that all too often pushes policies that benefit the already well-to-do. She has strived to remake it as a tool for shaping compassionate programs that help people find remedies for financial plights that stem from a lack of economic opportunity because of poverty, unemployment or job discrimination"--

This book stems primarily from the intention to make public the seminar entitled "Narratives and Cultural Psychology" held by J. Bruner and C. Feldman in May 2000 in Florence. This seminar represents the point of view of these two authors, at an important moment in their scientific and human careers, on two themes: narratives and interpretative communities.The central concept on which this book works is the Aristotelian concept of peripeteia which, born in the world of art, is developed by Bruner in the field of cognitive and cultural psychology and by Feldman in the concept of interpretative community.Thus the first purpose of this book is to analyze the role and usefulness of this concept in the study of the world of stories and cultureThe second aim of this book is to explain, clarify and comment on the concept, the theoretical assumptions and the key words used by the two authors, while also exploring the issues addressed. In this way, the author wanted to reflect on what contribution this seminar offers today to the theme of narratives and cultural psychology and what the future prospects might be.This book is aimed at students and scholars interested in exploring the role that stories play in human culture
