The term "gender" was first distinguished from "sex" in the 1950s when psychologists began to discuss the idea of "gender roles," behaviors and responsibilities given to people by a society rather than flowing from their biology. Since then, leaders across disciplines have sought to better understand the roles of biology, psychology, and culture on gender. New language has emerged alongside rich scientific inquiry and research. Increased visibility of transgender and nonbinary communities has brought awareness to a range of gender diverse experiences, while legal battles, wage disparities, and health inequities continue to prove gender's relevancy in today's world. In this book, Laura Erickson-Schroth and Benjamin Davis guide readers through the knowns and unknowns of gender, asking questions such as: What is the difference between sex, gender identity, and gender expression? Were ancient societies matriarchal? How different are male and female brains, really? What role does language play in the ways we think about gender? What do we know about sex and gender in non-human species? What are the current frontiers in gender equality? Gender: What Everyone Needs to Know® is an easy-to-read guide that takes readers on a much-needed tour of perspectives on gender and identity in the 21st century.The book is written in a question-and-answer format, and Erickson-Schroth and Davis cover topics such as current definitions; the history of gender as concept; therole of biology, psychology, and culture on gender; and gender norms over time and across the globe.

Banks and financial institutions discriminate against their customers daily based on economic class, race, sex and for being differently abled. This discrimination harms individuals, businesses, and the U.S. economy. In this book I identify and explain discriminatory financial processes, provide detailed examples, and explain the costs of inaction. I recommend ways for banks to resolve their discriminatory practices - reform. I also recommend ways for customers to encourage banks to change - revolt. By ending discriminatory practices, our economy can grow, businesses can thrive, banks can become more profitable, and individuals can thrive. It is time for Reform or Revolt.Benjamin Davis gained the knowledge to write this financial reform book both through his education and work experience. He holds an MBA and worked in banking and finance for nearly two decades as a manager, financial advisor, business owner, teacher, and as a vice president with one of the largest banks in the world.

The King of FU is a magically realistic poetic memoir about growing up in America in the nineties on the cusp of the age of the internet. It is a voyage that navigates through family tribalism, supervisors, white-gloved Sheriffs, bullies, sex, suicide, dead prisoners, drugs, porn, middle school, and Jesus; all in search of answering one of life's greatest mysteries: what is the point of adults? This artistic masterpiece comes from the mind of author Benjamin Davis with illustrations by Russian artist Nikita Klimov.Note from the publisher: Please do not purchase the hardcover edition, it is not the same product and has printing errors.
