Jill Jones co-author of Casino Women will be here to talk about this amazing book.Casino Women is a pioneering look at the female face of corporate gaming. Based on extended interviews with maids, cocktail waitresses, cooks, laundry workers, dealers, pit bosses, and vice presidents, the book describes in compelling detail a world whose enormous profitability is dependent on the labor of women assigned stereotypically female occupations-making beds and serving food on the one hand and providing sexual allure on the other. But behind the neon lies another world, peopled by thousands of remarkable women who assert their humanity in the face of gaming empires' relentless quest for profits.Another group of women, dealers and middle managers among them, did not act. Fearful of losing their jobs, they remained silent, declining to speak out when others were abused, and in the case of middle managers, taking on the corporations' goals as their own. Susan Chandler and Jill B. Jones appraise the cost of their silence and examine the factors that pushed some women into activism and led others to accept the status quo.Casino Women will appeal to all readers interested in women, gambling, and working-class life, and in how ordinary people stand up to corporate actors who appear to hold all the cards. http://www.casinowomenthebook.com/
Pamela Martin is a celebrity, marketing executive and novelist who lives with her husband of 17 years and her two daughters. Martin is also an active philanthropist and her family supports various charities in Texas. Pamela Martin doesn’t mind being called a bitch.“I don’t mind that, not at all,” said Martin, a mother of two daughters, a marketing executive, novelist and one of the stars of the Style Network’s Big Rich Texas, a new docu series which is debuting July 17 at 9pm on Style. “I don’t mind, because I’m a nice bitch.”Martin, author of political novel Hard Whispers (www.hardwhispers.com ), said that successful women today need to raise their standards and embrace the fact that they have to do more than men in order to be considered their equals. “When people encounter me when I am working with the Luxury Marketing Council, they don’t look at me as a formidable woman,” she added. “They engage me as a top marketing executive who has valuable experience to share. After all, if I considered myself just a chick trying to make it in a man’s world, I wouldn’t be the chairperson – I’d be the chairperson’s assistant, wishing I was a man so I could catch a break. Instead, I make my own breaks, and so should the rest of the women out there. The opportunities are there. You just have to seize them.”
Bike messengers are familiar figures in the downtown cores of major cities. Tasked with delivering time-sensitive materials within, at most, a few hours-and sometimes in as little as fifteen minutes-these couriers ride in all types of weather, weave in and out of dense traffic, dodging (or sometimes failing to dodge) taxis and pedestrians alike in order to meet their clients' tight deadlines. Riding through midtown traffic at breakneck speeds is dangerous work, and most riders do it for very little pay and few benefits. As the courier industry has felt the pressures of first fax machines, then e-mails, and finally increased opportunities for electronic filing of legal "paperwork," many of those who remain in the business are devoted to their job. For these couriers, messengering is the foundation for an all-encompassing lifestyle, an essential part of their identity. In Urban Flow, Jeffrey L. Kidder (a sociologist who spent several years working as a bike messenger) introduces readers to this fascinating subculture, exploring its appeal as well as its uncertainties and dangers.Through interviews with and observation of messengers at work and play, Kidder shows how many become acclimated to the fast-paced, death-defying nature of the job, often continuing to ride with the same sense of purpose off the clock. In chaotic bike races called alleycats, messengers careen through the city in hopes of beating their peers to the finish line. Some messengers travel the world to take part in these events, and the top prizes are often little more than bragging rights. Taken together, the occupation and the messengers' after-hours pursuits highlight a creative subculture inextricably linked to the urban environment. The work of bike messengers is intense and physically difficult. It requires split-second reflexes, an intimate knowledge of street maps and traffic patterns, and a significant measure of courage in the face of both bodily harm and job insecurity. In Urban Flow, Kidder gives readers a rare opportunity to catch more than a fleeting glimpse of these habitués of city streets.

Susun S. Weed is the voice of the Wise Woman Tradition, a founding grandmother of the herbal renaissance and the originator of the concept of complementary medicine. Ms. Weed maintains an active, worldwide teaching schedule including correspondence courses, on-line education through the Wise Woman University, apprenticeships, and teaching at various venues including Yale Nurse Midwifery School, American College of Nurse Midwives, Bastyr Naturopathic College, Rocky Mountain Center for Botanical Studies, American Botanical Council, Weg der Mitte (Berlin), and Waikato College of Herbal Studies in New Zealand. Her previous books are all still in print -- in six languages -- and are considered health-care bibles. The pelvis is a potent place that holds enormous energies. It’s also a complicated area of the body that, for many of us, remains mysterious. Perhaps that’s why we’re perplexed, fearful, or even embarrassed when there’s a health concern “down there.” Best-selling author and nationally esteemed reproductive health expert SUSUN S. WEED destigmatizes such common conditions as dry vagina, herpes, enlarged prostate, incontinence, and sexual difficulties in a new reference for both genders, appropriately called Down There: Sexual and Reproductive Health, the Wise Woman Way www.susunweed.com
