Gender and culture in psychology
Eva Magnusson, Jeanne Marecek
"Gender and Culture in Psychology introduces readers to new approaches to the psychological study of gender that bring together feminist psychology, socio-cultural psychology, discursive psychology and critical psychology. It presents research and theory that embed human action in social, cultural and interpersonal contexts. The book provides conceptual tools for thinking about gender, social categorization, human meaning and culture. It also describes a family of interpretative research methods, which focus on rich talk and everyday activities, and provides a close-in view of how interpretative research proceeds. The latter portion of the book showcases innovative projects in the psychology of gender that investigate topics of concern to scholars and feminist activists: young teens' encounters with heterosexual norms; male-female couples' negotiating the sharing of housework and childcare; sexual coercion and violence in male-female relationships; the cultural politics of women's weight and eating concerns; psychiatric labelling of psychological suffering; and feminism in psychotherapy"--

The essentials of XML in a short, easy-to-use format. The fastest way to learn the basics of XML! Covers the core concepts of XML without unnecessary background. Designed to introduce XML to readers with limited XML exposure. XML is the de-facto standard for manipulating and sharing data among applications.

Many of them don't have the time for a thick reference book or detailed tutorial. Sams Teach Yourself XML in 10 Minutes quickly covers the basics of XML and its family of related concepts, including basic syntax, DTDs, XML Schema, DOM, SAX, XSL and XPath. Each topic is illustrated with an example to ensure readers' understanding. Andrew H. Watt is an independent consultant and author with an expertise in XML technologies including XSLT and SVG. He most recently co-wrote Sams Teach Yourself JavaScript in 21 Days (0672322978) and previously wrote or contributed to several market-leading XML books, including Designing SVG Web Graphics (0735711666, New Riders), Professional XSL (1861003579), and Professional XML, Second Edition (1861005059), both for Wrox Press.
