On Christmas Eve, New York cop John McClane (Bruce Willis) is
visiting his estranged wife Holly (Bonnie Bedelia) in Los Angeles,
where she works. They are attending a party at Holly's high-rise
office block when terrorists, led by the suave Hans Gruber (Alan
Rickman) break in, taking everyone hostage. McClane manages to
evade capture, however, and sets out to rescue his wife and the
other prisoners. It is not long before he is running barefoot over
shattered glass (ouch!) in a sweaty vest, muttering 'Yippy kay aye'
as he dispatches the baddies with bullets and a certain earthy wit.
This representative survey of sexual behaviour in the general
population of America offers basic information about topics such as
the transmission of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases,
unwanted pregnancies, child abuse, sexual harassment and sexual
violence. Conducted by a research team centred at the University of
Chicago, the National Health and Social Life Survey (NHSLS) was
designed to determine not only incidence and prevalence of sexual
practices, but also the social and psychological contexts in which
they occur. Based on personal interviews with a probability sample
of 3432 American women and men between the ages of 18 and 59, this
study explores the extent to which sexual conduct and general
attitudes toward sexuality are influenced by gender, age, marital
status and other demographic characteristics. Some of the questions
the researchers address include: how do social factors such as
education, race, and religion affect sexual conduct?; how have
American sexual patterns been changing?; how do women's and men's
sexual lives and attitudes differ?; and how is sexual behaviour
organized across the life course? Other topics covered by the
survey include early sexual experiences, masturbation,
contraception and fertility, sexual abuse, coercion, sexual health,
satisfaction and sexual dysfunction. A wide variety of sexual
practices and preferences are also explored in the questionnaire,
including specific questions on homosexual desire, identity, and
behaviour, the appeal of various sexual practices, and their
frequency and incorporation into sexual lives. With many charts,
graphs and tables, and a copy of the complete survey questionnaire,
this work is intended to be of use as a reference for scientists,
analysts and researchers seeking reliable information on the sexual
practices of American adults.
Nick Thompson is a young man finding his way in life. He returned
to south Wales in the early autumn of 1970 in search of love, but
discovered the girl of his dreams didn't love him. Things changed
dramatically 6 months later when Nick made a substantial amount of
money over night, by then he too had changed. Linda is doing the
chasing now, and Nick discovers a previously unknown sly and
devious side to her character. A trait he's more than happy to meet
her head on with. Fighting his emotions the young man becomes
involved in a murder case where he meets the colourful Beth Rhys, a
white witch. They clash because Beth tells Nick a few home truths,
and he in turn rubs her up the wrong way because of her beliefs.
They discover more about one another than they'd wished for, which
leads to some amusing confrontations. However, they share a common
belief that drives them relentlessly forward-sometimes blindly, the
glory of solving a one hundred year old murder.
Imagine living life the way our forefathers did-a simple,
uncomplicated black and white existence where major decision making
was centred around placing food on the table for the family. What
if that choice was made possible? What if a person could opt out of
the rat race? Could you leave behind the convenience and comfort of
the 21st century? Could a semi-independent state function with
minimal interference from the outside world, and without modem
technology? It took millionaire businessman Duke Branigan many
years, and a huge amount of his personal fortune to create, but in
1981 the semi-independent Branigan County opened its doors for
business. Cross that imaginary date line and one travels back
nearly 140 years to a time where the convenience of those bygone
days is acceptable, but progress is forbidden. Branigan County is
no holiday camp, it is a commitment. Can it work? Do those who have
chosen the good-life want it to work? And why does a man like
McCreedie become so important to its survival?
The Social Organization of Sexuality, a report on the nation's most
comprehensive representative survey of sexual behavior in the
general population to date, finally offers that basic information.
Conducted by a research team centered at the University of Chicago,
the National Health and Social Life Survey (NHSLS) was designed to
determine the incidence and prevalence of sexual practices and to
place them in their social contexts. Based on personal interviews
with a probability sample of 3,432 American women and men between
the ages of 18 and 59, undertaken by the National Opinion Research
Center, this study explores the extent to which sexual conduct and
general attitudes toward sexuality are influenced by gender, age,
marital status, and other demographic characteristics. The results
of this survey both allow us to better understand how sexual
behavior is organized in American society, and offer significant
implications for policymakers struggling with many of the nation's
crucial health problems. In exploring the rate of new partner
formation, for example, the researchers discovered that about 80%
of American adults had only one or no sexual partner in the past
year. By concentrating AIDS awareness information on the 20% of the
population that had two or more partners. AIDS strategists would be
better able to target and persuade this segment of the population
to modify their sexual behavior. Other topics covered by the survey
include early sexual experiences, masturbation, contraception and
fertility, abortion, sexual abuse, coercion, sexual health,
satisfaction, and sexual dysfunction. A wide variety of sexual
practices and preferences are also explored in the questionnaire,
including specific questions on homosexual desire, identity, and
behavior, the appeal of various sexual practices, and their
frequency and incorporation into sexual lives.
