Simultaneously challenging conventional male-dominated thought and revisionist modern feminism, this book argues that gendered identities can best be conceived relationally, and thus that a fuller understanding of gender roles in the eighteenth century (and by extension in our own) must include an analysis of mens place in the discourse of domesticity. Examining the phenomenal rise of the social periodical at the end of the seventeenth century, the author theorizes the genres crucial contribution to the construction of a class-specific gender identity that succeeds as ideology not, as usually assumed, by separating the feminine private sphere from the masculine public one, but by delineating the private as an important locus of masculine control. Marshalling social history, political theory, economics, and sociology in an attempt to account historically for the appearance of the sentimental familycontrolled by the man who is at once lover and husband, father and brotherthis book forcefully questions the validity of the doctrine of separate spheres and the ascription of gender roles connected to it. The social periodical provides compelling evidence for understanding the relationship between gender construction and class values. By focusing on such topics as courtship, marriage, and parent-child relations, the genre configured the nuclear family as a locus where emotional and sexual gratification supported material gain. Periodical literature offered an ostensibly neutral forum for public debate about private issues where male editors, by instructing and reforming women, also learned to become the chaste husbands and watchful fathers of the bourgeois home. In the process of demonstrating how social periodicals constructed new forms of masculine control still very much with us today, the book also shows how, by galvanizing an important new reading class, they contributed to the rise of the novel. Periodical literature exerted a transformative effect on English society by displaying a moral and cultural authority, not to mention a readership, that novels would struggle for many decades to achieve.

"Fragile families"—unmarried parents who struggle emotionally and financially—are one of the primary targets of the Healthy Marriage Initiative, a federal policy that has funded marriage education programs in nearly every state. These programs, which encourage marriage by teaching relationship skills, are predicated on the hope that married couples can provide a more emotionally and financially stable home for their children. Healthy marriage policy promotes a pro-marriage culture in which two-parent married families are considered the healthiest. It also assumes that marriage can be a socioeconomic survival mechanism for low-income families, and an engine of upward mobility. Through interviews with couples and her own observations and participation in marriage education courses, Jennifer M. Randles challenges these assumptions and critically examines the effects of such classes on participants. She takes the reader inside healthy marriage classrooms to reveal how their curricula are reflections of broader issues of culture, gender, governance, and social inequality. In analyzing the implementation of healthy marriage policy, Randles questions whether it should target individual behavior or the social and economic context of that behavior. The most valuable approach, she concludes, will not be grounded in notions of middle-class marriage culture. Instead, it will reflect the fundamental premise that love and commitment thrive most within the context of social and economic opportunity.

Computational social choice is an expanding field that merges classical topics like economics and voting theory with more modern topics like artificial intelligence, multiagent systems, and computational complexity. This book provides a concise introduction to the main research lines in this field, covering aspects such as preference modelling, uncertainty reasoning, social choice, stable matching, and computational aspects of preference aggregation and manipulation. The book is centered around the notion of preference reasoning, both in the single-agent and the multi-agent setting. It presents the main approaches to modeling and reasoning with preferences, with particular attention to two popular and powerful formalisms, soft constraints and CP-nets. The authors consider preference elicitation and various forms of uncertainty in soft constraints. They review the most relevant results in voting, with special attention to computational social choice. Finally, the book considers preferences in matching problems. The book is intended for students and researchers who may be interested in an introduction to preference reasoning and multi-agent preference aggregation, and who want to know the basic notions and results in computational social choice.

Congratulations, my friend! You're one step closer to capturing the hand of the woman you love. This is a very special point in your relationship and life, and I'm personally very happy for you. Honestly, it's an exciting time and as an expert in matters of the heart, I want to help you make the most of it and not screw it up. Now for the cold hard truth. She has expectations, very high expectations. In fact most women secretly admit to being somewhat disappointed with their marriage proposal. Of course they are, this is the one time they absolutely expect nothing short of perfection. Quite an enormous feat, unless you're the most interesting man in the world. Many things can go wrong for you; you've got one shot and its extremely difficult to get everything right. That's where I come in. My mistakes learn from me, and you should too. This book is your cheat sheet to planning and executing the perfect marriage proposal. No looking back with regret, no embarrassing memories and absolutely no proposal Fails. If you want to write a speech that will melt her heart, make this the best day of your life and be sure she will say yes even before you ask, this is the book for you. It's packed with must do and embarrassing don'ts (you will be surprised how many there are). Most websites will tell you 5 to 10 mistakes to avoid. Many of those mistakes you'll already know. This book has 50, and believe me - they are all essential. Things you will never have known a woman is expecting or wants you to do, since there's no other manual like this. SAMPLE: Why would I take time out of my full and busy life to pen this book? First, I didn't - this book was written in my sleep. Second, as a man who has experienced all that life has to offer, multiple times, I am certain that love is one of the best gifts there is. Third, I know women, having come from one, and experiencing many others. I also know men, though not for the same reasons. You want to propose to the woman in your life, but haven't the faintest idea what it truly takes to make it interesting and remarkable. Who else would be qualified to give you such advice besides me? From the outside looking in, proposing appears to be a simple and fairly straightforward process. There are no hard and fast rules, and every couple is unique, right? Wrong. There are indeed expectations and rules to pulling off a flawless engagement and most couples are more alike than dissimilar in the grand scheme of things. The opportunity to make blunders is a very real and unfortunately, common reality. So much so, that a simple internet search will reveal hordes of message boards filled with women complaining about how let down they were with their guy's lack of romantic forethought and subsequently searching for some way to get over their disappointment or devastation. Sadly, they probably never will. There are no do-overs when it comes to proposing to your girlfriend, so if you don't get it right the first time, be prepared to have no wife at all, or a wife who will always associate negative thoughts with the way you proposed. There will be no special moment to reflect on when times get hard, just a nagging thought that you didn't care enough even then, and persistent doubts about your relationship. I don't know about you, but if you aren't interested in doing everything you can within your means, to make sure your woman is not only satisfied, but blown away and secure in your love for her, by delivering a marriage proposal that she wants to tell everyone within earshot about it, then maybe the time isn't right or she's not the one. However, the mere fact that you have invested in this book to make sure you get every aspect right, tells me that you have probably found true love. I'm optimistic that you are right!
