The Dragonfly Whisperer

Reading Cynthia Eller's book is like having a spirited late-night talk with a close friend . . . The intensely personal nature of this inquiry for Eller means that she is learning as much as telling, and material drawn from her own life-musings on the social discomfort of armpit hair, stories of her friend who is known as the GWB (guy with breasts) simply because of her lack of overt emotionalism-shines. --Elle.com "Cynthia Eller writes with brilliance and humor, and her book enables us to look at womanhood-among other things-with new eyes. As I read this delightful and subversive book, I often felt the ground shifting beneath me. Am I a Woman? contains equal measures of fine scholarship and common sense. One of the best books on gender-or anything-written this year."--Jennifer Finney Boylan, author of She's Not There: A Life in Two Genders "According to Eller . . . sex is 'inextricably mixed up-at least for now-with sexism.' If feminists embrace her radical understanding of gender, Eller hopes to instigate a redirection of our unequal society."--Fran Willing, Bust "Canny and witty." --Michelle Burford, O Magazine "In this breezy, funny treatise, Eller draws from her own 'normal' life to demonstrate the myriad mundane ways in which gender is not cut and dried. Behind this provocative inquiry is her hope to bridge the gap between women who call themselves feminists and the ones who (believe in dignity, independence, and equality, but . . .) don't."--Jennifer Baumgardner and Amy Richards, coauthors of Manifesta: Young Women, Feminism, and the Future

"Although the issues Celie faces&mdash;loss of her best friend, conflicts with her sister, concerns about her cognitively compromised grandmother&mdash;are major, the story is in no way heavy... A heartfelt but amusing story about the many challenges of growing up." &mdash;Kirkus Reviews"Ten-year-old Celie continues the ultra-honest (and at times unintentionally funny) journal she began in the first book, Friendship Over!... Celie's voice is fresh, completely unselfconscious, and emphatic... Much of the book's considerable humor, as well as its pathos, is communicated in Celie's sketches, diagrams, and notes&mdash;scribbly, heartfelt, and immediate." &mdash;Horn Book

"Scholars and practitioners alike agree that assessing how couples deal with conflict is the gold standard for evaluating couple well-being, and Couples in Conflict is the gold standard for research on the topic of conflict. The volume approaches its subject matter from diverse perspectives, all of which are foundational to a deep understanding of what conflict means for couples and families, and how interventions might be framed most effectively.…The chapters are still informative, highly relevant, and compelling." – Harry Reis, University of Rochester, USA

"Couples in Conflict is proof positive that great things happen when outstanding scholars come together. ...The editors assembled a remarkable cast of authors to cover a broad range of topics. Although published more than a decade ago, Booth and colleagues’ text is still a useful and relevant resource for researchers, teachers, and practitioners alike. Given the tremendous changes in contemporary coupling, a classic version of this text will help reignite the discussion of the ups and downs of relational conflict." – Brian Ogolsky, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, USA

"I have regularly used … Couples in Conflict as a reference book. Despite being originally published in 2001, this edited volume is still relevant, timely, and thought-provoking. The book’s contributors are leaders in the field and still represent a veritable "Who’s Who?" of researchers in the broad area of couple conflict and aggression." – Mark A. Fine, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, USA

'It is not only one of the most comprehensive histories of institutional change in the Chinese oil sector to date, but it also illustrates the height of the hurdles the Chinese oil companies must clear in order to join the ranks of the super majors.' - The China Quarterly
'The book gives in-depth information about the evolution that China's oil industry and large oil SOEs have gone through. The research has extended the discussion on how organisational structures and corporate headquarters construct globally competitive firms as well as adding to the knowledge on large Chinese state-owned enterprises.' - The Journal of Energy Literature
'This study is a welcome contribution to the literature, particularly at a time when oil prices have recently soared and oil is at the top of many national agendas. Understanding the inner workings of China's oil companies and the timing, motives and means for various restructurings is of major interest not only to industry analysts worldwide but also to those monitoring the special problems and progress of China's major international companies.' - The China Journal
