As some remarkable men talk about their lives, many perspectives emerge. All these men came from modest circumstances and all achieved preeminence.

"Male witches in early modern Europe provides a critique of historians' assumptions about witch-hunting and the many explanations for the origins of this complex and perplexing phenomenon.

Above all, women bear more responsibility for domestic tasks than men."--BOOK JACKET. "Economic analysis has overlooked the differences between men...

In a time when psychologists are rediscovering Darwin, and much of our social behavioral is being reduced to ancient, hard-wired patterns, Michael Kimmel's history of manhood in America comes as a much needed reminder that our behavior as men and women is anything but stable and fixed. Kimmel's history of men in America demonstrates that manhood has meant very different things in different eras. Drawing on advice books, magazines, political pamphlets,...

A book about sex in the broadest sense, The Two Sexes seeks to tell us how our development from infancy through adolescence and into adulthood is affected by gender.
