The first edition of Sexual Conduct, published in 1973, swiftly
became a landmark text in the sociology of sexuality. It went on to
profoundly shape the ideas of several generations of scholars and
has become the foundation text of what is now known as the "social
constructionist" approach to sexuality. The present edition,
revised, updated, and containing new introductory and concluding
materials, introduces a classic text to a new generation of
students and professionals.
Traditional views of human sexuality posit models of man and
woman in which biological arrangements are translated into
sociocultural imperatives. This is best summarized in the phrase
"anatomy is destiny." Consequently, the almost exclusive concern
has been with the power of biology and nature in sexual conduct as
opposed to understanding the significance and impact of social
life. In Sexual Conduct, Gagnon and Simon lucidly argue that sexual
activities, of all kinds, may be understood as the outcome of a
complex psychosocial process of development. Using the social
script theory, the authors trace the ways in which sexuality is
learned and fitted into particular moments in the lifecycle and in
different modes of behavior.
Sexual Conduct is a major attempt to consider sexuality within a
non-biological, social psychological framework. It is a valuable
addition to the study of human sexuality, and will be of interest
to students of sociology, psychology, psychiatry, social work, and
medicine.

Tired of always being on the run from SERVEYOUinc, the Doctor tries
to buy the corporation...but it doesn't work out as he planned! Can
companions Alice Obiefune, Jones and ARC rescue the Doctor from
himself? Plus, tracking a falling meteor back into the past sees
the TARDIS team colliding with warring Roman Emperors in 312 AD -
as a malevolent alien force crawls from the crater!
From a millennial media maker and award-winning social critic, an
accessible, straightforward, and remarkable guide that "invites us
beyond the old stories we've told about ourselves, and into the
wonder of our dreams, hopes, and love--so we can find our truth and
purpose" (Glennon Doyle, New York Times bestselling author) for a
generation paralyzed by the pressures of life. Behind the glossy
Instagram pictures, many people in their 20s and 30s are living
frustrating lives: overwhelmed and confused, anxious and
inauthentic, exhausted and afraid. They are leading lives that,
unbeknownst to them, have been shaped by everyone but themselves.
From social media to the workplace, the stories that they have
believed have left them constantly seeking a better life but rarely
ever finding it. Erica Williams Simon saw this all too well. At 27,
she abruptly walked away from her career as a rising political
media star to find her own truth and a truth that would help others
finally build a life worth living. She rejected the lies that the
world had taught her, and rewrote the ideas that have the power to
shape a generation. You Deserve the Truth is a "refreshingly blunt
take on happiness" (Publishers Weekly) and is a masterclass in how
to challenge the narratives about fear, work, identity, success,
love, and life. This "smart and all too real guidebook for anyone
striving to craft an authentic and inspired life from the ground
up" (Franchesca Ramsey, host of MTV's Decoded) gives you the tools
you need in order to break free from the narratives holding you
back from starting an exciting new phase in a beautiful life.
In this collection of essays, derived from ten year's work on the
subject of sexuality and its meanings, William Simon argues that we
can only make sense of our sexuality within the larger project of
making sense of our humanity. The essays range widely, from changes
in the social construction of deviance and perversion to the
experience of adolescence and the myth of the Wild West. Through
them all, the author shows how sexuality has become for us the
ultimate postmodern discourse.

The construction of the Crossrail project began at North Dock in
Canary Wharf in May 2009. At the height of construction it was the
biggest railway construction project in Europe and is one of the
largest single infrastructure investments undertaken in the UK. It
consists of 21 km of new twin-bore tunnels under central London and
10 new world-class stations across one of the largest cities in the
world. Crossrail Project: Infrastructure Design and Construction
Volume 6 contains a collection of 22 papers submitted to the 2021
Crossrail's Technical Papers Competition. Contributions have come
from members of the Crossrail organisation, its consultants as well
as contractors involved in design and construction across the
Crossrail project. The papers cover a multitude of disciplines
including tunnelling, geotechnical engineering, rail signalling and
control, rail systems & integration, rail telecommunications,
and electrical engineering. As part of the enduring legacy of the
Crossrail project, it is incumbent upon the organisation to share
its experiences and best practices with the rest of the industry,
to showcase the skills of the personnel involved and the successful
delivery of each phase of works. Crossrail Project: Infrastructure
Design and Construction Volume 6 offers more high-quality papers on
the best practice in design and construction for large-scale

In this "intriguing, insightful and extremely educational" novel,
the world's most famous hacker teaches you easy cloaking and
counter-measures for citizens and consumers in the age of Big
Brother and Big Data (Frank W. Abagnale). Kevin Mitnick was the
most elusive computer break-in artist in history. He accessed
computers and networks at the world's biggest companies -- and no
matter how fast the authorities were, Mitnick was faster, sprinting
through phone switches, computer systems, and cellular networks. As
the FBI's net finally began to tighten, Mitnick went on the run,
engaging in an increasingly sophisticated game of hide-and-seek
that escalated through false identities, a host of cities, and
plenty of close shaves, to an ultimate showdown with the Feds, who
would stop at nothing to bring him down. Ghost in the Wires is a
thrilling true story of intrigue, suspense, and unbelievable
escapes -- and a portrait of a visionary who forced the authorities
to rethink the way they pursued him, and forced companies to
rethink the way they protect their most sensitive information.
"Mitnick manages to make breaking computer code sound as
action-packed as robbing a bank." -- NPR
