Originally published in 1972, this book aimed to provide the student with a basic understanding of the main theories of social stratification and to acquaint them with current methods of research, with the results from modern research (with emphasis on British research), and with current issues in this field. The first two chapters are concerned with theory and are followed by chapters on slavery and the caste system. These are intended to illustrate concepts and theory and to offer the student a comparative perspective in which to view stratification in modern society – which is dealt with in a final lengthy chapter. The book has been written primarily for first-year university students, but also with sixth-formers and students in colleges of further education in mind.

Trade Paperback, 152 pagesPraise from Paul Tumey (columnist for The Comics Journal and author of SCREWBALL The Cartoonists Who Made the Funnies Funny): "The funniest cartoon book I've read all year."". . . a thick compendium of images that are best described as cartoons -- many made me laugh, some inspired flights of philosophical reflection. The skeleton and the bedframe made me think about the human body as a kind of bed for the soul. The downpour of keys onto the locked woman resonates with current news, yet uses antique art -- brilliance.""For every dreamlike "made ya think" cartoon, there's three that are just plain goofy funny stuff, Grecian athlete statues with cleverly placed rolls of toilet paper, and the like that elicit a grade school snicker of wicked delight.""It's not well understood, but surrealism is supposed to be funny -- and Gill is working squarely within the highest aspirations of surrealism, dadaism, and -- dare I say -- screwballism with this book.""Max Ernst has found a new brother.""Great stuff "------from Frank Young, Eisner Award winning graphic novelist (The Carter Family: Don't Forget This Song by Young and Lasky): "The book is a thing of beauty I've been enjoying it--absorbing the inscrutable collages, sometimes laughing out loud. It gives me images to hang onto, tho' I'm often not sure what I'm holding in my hand."------

In January 1979, Robert Edwards and Patrick Steptoe delivered a lecture detailing the ten-year clinical and scientific research programme that led to the birth of Louise Brown, the first baby born utilising IVF. This thoroughly-researched book provides both a full annotated transcript of the lecture as well as recorded reminiscences from those who attended, detailing the contemporary understandings of the event. An essay on the lecture's historical context adds fresh insight into the biographies of Edwards and Steptoe and highlights sources from print and broadcast media that have received scant attention in earlier publications. Current and future implications of the advances in IVF since the first procedure are also explored, examining future medical and scientific possibilities as well as ethical issues that may arise. A foreword by Louise Brown herself places this remarkable leap of science in a personal context, one that so many families have since experienced themselves.

Live full of faith through hard timesDo you ever feel like you can’t take one more thing? You’re on the edge. Your nerves are shot. Your mind is done. Your body is tired, and your emotions are a mess. If you could gather yourself for even a moment you might explode at the reality of all you’ve been through. In the face of the fears, frustrations, and failures of this world, we have a choice. We can sit and stare at the life we live and hope something changes. Or we can rise up and walk in faith.In this Bible study, author and speaker Micah Maddox walks you through the book of James and compares the teaching of James with what Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount from Matthew and the wisdom of Solomon we find in Proverbs. When we discover the themes of what a faith-filled life looked like before, during, and after the time of Christ, we see how Scripture points us to honor God in an active life of faith.This five-week study will help you to:Revisit the foundation of your faithLook to God first in hard situationsDiscover faith isn’t a list of do’s and don’tsMove from a place of struggle to a place of comfortGain a fresh perspective on how to live full of faith when feeling tired and testedIncludes historical and biblical background insight and questions for reflection.InScribed is a collection of studies that lead women to not just survive but thrive by encouraging them to immerse themselves in the Word of God.
