Turn on the TV. Incompetent leadership is everywhere, and there's no denying that most of these leaders are men. In this timely and provocative book, Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic asks two powerful questions: Why is it so easy for incompetent men to become leaders? And why is it so hard for competent people - especially competent women - to advance? Marshaling decades of rigorous research, Chamorro-Premuzic points out that although men make up a majority of leaders, they underperform when compared with female leaders. In fact, most organizations equate leadership potential with a handful of destructive personality traits, like overconfidence and narcissism. In other words, these traits may help someone get selected for a leadership role, but they backfire once the person has the job.

A book about molecules, reproduction, and evolutionary tinkering, it is also about the way biologists work, and how they contemplate beauty and truth, good and evil. Animated with anecdotes from Greek mythology, literature, episodes from the history of science, and personal experience, Of Flies, Mice, and Men tells the story of how the marvelous discoveries of molecular and developmental biology are transforming our understanding of who we are and where we came from. In particular, Jacob scrutinizes the place of the scientist in society. Alternately cast as the soothsayer Tiresias, the amoral inventor Daedalus, or Prometheus, conveyor of dangerous knowledge, the scientist in our day must instead adopt the role of truthteller, Jacob suggests. And the crucial truth that molecular biology teaches is that all animals are made of the same building blocks, by a combinatorial system that always rearranges the same elements according to new forms.  Free Download Native Men Remade: Gender and Nation in Contemporary Hawai'i By Ty P. Kāwika Tengan 2008 | 295 Pages | ISBN: 0822389371 | PDF | 2 MB Many indigenous Hawaiian men have felt profoundly disempowered by the legacies of colonization and by the tourist industry, which, in addition to occupying a great deal of land, promotes a feminized image of Native Hawaiians (evident in the ubiquitous figure of the dancing hula girl). In the 1990s a group of Native men on the island of Maui responded by refashioning and reasserting their masculine identities in a group called the Hale Mua (the "Men's House"). As a member and an ethnographer, Ty P. Kāwika Tengan analyzes how the group's mostly middle-aged, middle-class, and mixed-race members assert a warrior masculinity through practices including martial arts, woodcarving, and cultural ceremonies. Some of their practices are heavily influenced by or borrowed from other indigenous Polynesian traditions, including those of the Māori. The men of the Hale Mua enact their refashioned identities as they participate in temple rites, protest marches, public lectures, and cultural fairs.The sharing of personal stories is an integral part of Hale Mua fellowship, and Tengan's account is filled with members' first-person narratives. At the same time, Tengan explains how Hale Mua rituals and practices connect to broader projects of cultural revitalization and Hawaiian nationalism. He brings to light the tensions that mark the group's efforts to reclaim indigenous masculinity as they arise in debates over nineteenth-century historical source materials and during political and cultural gatherings held in spaces designated as tourist sites. He explores class status anxieties expressed through the sharing of individual life stories, critiques of the Hale Mua registered by Hawaiian women, and challenges the group received in dialogues with other indigenous Polynesians. Native Men Remade is the fascinating story of how gender, culture, class, and personality intersect as a group of indigenous Hawaiian men work to overcome the dislocations of colonial history."[Native Men Remade] deals convincingly with an important topic for contemporary Hawaiians: the disempowerment and disconnection of Hawaiian men, who often seem overshadowed by women within the Hawaiian community and the recent development of a men's movement to re-empower themselves as community leaders. It breaks new ground in the field of Hawaiian gender relations by focusing on the role of men, rather than focusing on the role of women. . . . The book is courageous in dealing with some sensitive Hawaiian issues: the destructive effect of male violence, the need for men in the movement to avoid disempowering women as they empower themselves and their need to accept male homosexuality." - Charles M. Langlas, Pacific Affairs"[A] deeply passionate and inspiring book, in its subject as well as its thoughtful, nuanced attention to the complexities of this provocative topic." - Jacqueline Shea Murphy, Journal of Intercultural Studies"As the first book to concentrate on the production of indigenous masculinities through processes of colonisation, neocolonisation and decolonisation, Native Men Remade is an extremely important addition to the fields of indigenous studies, gender studies, sociology and anthropology in particular. . . . As with any complex, compelling and influential academic work, Native Men Remade provides fresh insight and challenges to readers. Its fundamental uniqueness in positing indigenous masculine subjectivity as something that can be remade (as opposed to something fixed and arrested) makes Native Men Remade an important read for those who want to genuinely engage with the intricacies of the neocolonial condition for indigenous cultures in the Pacific." - Brendan Hokowhitu, Asia Pacific Viewpoint"Beginning with a history of Hawaii and the impacts of foreigners on Hawaiian culture, we can see how the men have come to question their roles in modern society. The author makes extensive use of interviews and first-person narratives from the members, which makes for a rich learning experience." - Honolulu Star Bulletin"I find this book deeply interesting as a documentation of the shaping of cultural, political and masculine identities as multilayered, sincerely felt and fundamentally intercultural and ambivalent phenomena. . . . Tengan's work is also an engaging and important contribution to a growing body of Indigenous scholarship that seeks to realign our frames for doing and writing anthropology." - Ǻse Ottoson, Asia Pacific Journal of Anthropology"Tengan has written an innovative and compelling ethnography that is fashioned within wider fields of the anthropology of gender, of Polynesia, of indigeneity, and of postcolonialism. Native Men Remade has important things to add to each of these conversations as well as to those concerning militarism, athleticism, and the body." - Damon Salesa, Journal of Anthropological Research"Tengan offers us a compelling account of an emergent masculinity-at once indigenous, American, and Pacific Islander-that undermines forcefully the long-standing romantic and pathological visions of Hawaiian men. Scholars of U.S. masculinities generally neglect indigenous Hawaiians, thus reinforcing the very sense of cultural invisibility that partly prompted Tengan and other native men to revive their local manhood. They are here. So we all should take up this book and listen to their voices." - Eric K. Silverman, Men and Masculinities"Tengan's Native Men Remade is a sharp and richly detailed ethnography of Kanaka Maoli (indigenous Hawaiian) men who pursue traditional lives and ceremony as their contribution to Hawaiian decolonization." - Scott Lauria Morgensen, Signs"Tengan's beautifully observed and written ethnography gives a compelling sense of 'being there' and passing through the Hale Mua, and the ethnographic narrative is set within the wider context of Hawaiian and colonial history and the associated academic debates around these complex subjects, which he presents with exceptional clarity. . . . After ceremonies and speeches connected with Hawaiian men's groups, it is customary to call for a clapping of the hands to honour the talk. This fine book deserves thesame accolade - Pa'i ka lima!" - Kaori O'Connor, Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute"This fascinating ethnography chronicles the contemporary history and dynamics of the Hale Mua (the Men's House) in Hawai'i, a cultural revitalization group devoted to the remaking of male/masculine identities. . . . Tengan's total identification with, and celebration of, this group makes his implicit critiques of its warrior solidarity all the more resonant. Highly recommended." - G. E. Marcus, Choice  Free Download Felice Picano, "Men Who Loved Me" English | 2003 | ISBN: 1560234423, 0453007007 | PDF | pages: 311 | 16.9 mb Men Who Loved Me, the second installment of Felice Picano's memoirs, picks up the thread of his life in the mid-1960s. Sexually unresolved and unsuccessful in his relationships with women, unhappy in work and unfulfilled in life, Picano flees to Europe and settles in Italy in the golden era of Cinecitta, Rome's version of Hollywood. Even after he falls in with the questionable glamour of the time, his adventure is not over. He returns to Manhattan and a suddenly very gay world. This funny and sad remembrance of a Europe and New York that has entirely changed in today's world confirmed Picano's place among the most talked-about writers of his time.  Free Download Siyang Cao, "Chinese Men's Practices of Intimacy, Embodiment and Kinship: Crafting Elastic Masculinity " English | ISBN: 1529212987 | 2021 | 252 pages | PDF | 16 MB This book explores Chinese young men's views of manhood and develops a new concept of 'elastic masculinity' which can be stretched and forged differently in response to personal relationships and local realities. Drawing from empirical research, the author uses the term shenti (body-self) as a central concept to investigate the Chinese male body and explores intimacy and kinship within masculinity. She showcases how Chinese masculinities reflect the resilience of Confucian notions as well as transnational ideas of modern manhood. This is a unique dialogue with 'western' discourse on masculinity, and an invaluable resource for understanding the profound social changes that transformed gendered arrangements in urban China.
