Gender, Choice and Commitment
First published in 1998, reissued here with a new preface, this volume is the first full-length discussion of women’s experiences in the solicitors’ profession in the UK. It provides an account which is grounded in historical research and a contemporary research study. The authors explore this material to analyze both women’s own experiences and the mainstream culture and structure of the profession. Following a treatment of the struggle against the formal exclusionary barriers to women’s entry to the profession, this book then seeks to identify the informal obstacles which were subsequently erected to women’s participation and career progression, and examine their persistence, in a modified form, into the contemporary era. The analysis draws on perspectives from feminist jurisprudence to the sociology of the professions to shed light on the processes which support women’s continued subordination in employment as lawyers.

The Power of Choice
In this world, success is often measured by the wealth and prestige that one acquires. So anyone who does not possess these things is considered a failure. However, for Belu Mabandla, her financial stability and her social status do not matter at all if she cannot ¿sow the seeds that benefit others.¿ With this in mind, she wrote The Power of Choice, a journal about her personal journey as a successful mother and career woman who was able to weather the storms of her life through her undying trust in God. The book also tells about the experiences of other people that can be a source of inspiration and valuable lessons

Contraceptive Choice, Fertility, and Public Policy in Zimbabwe
Living Standards Measurement Study No. 107. Lost investment opportunities for society and the inefficient provision of public schooling are just some of the reasons why developing countries are concerned with low school completion rates. This study investigates the underlying causes of school attrition, paying particular attention to how school quality affects dropout rates. The central finding is that children are strongly influenced in their schooling decisions by the quality of their prospective school. The authors suggest that altering the character of the schools may prove an effective method of keeping students in school. The study will benefit education policymakers who need fundamental data on determinants of school leaving.
Biology And Computation: A Physicist's Choice
This book provides a comprehensive review of the works in the rapidly evolving field of neural networks and brain studies. Its purpose is two-fold: to help physicists entering this field to get a broader view of the context of the domain, and to help scientists of other disciplines to reach a better understanding of the physicists' contributions within a context of perspectives they can relate to.Included in the volume are 68 carefully selected, high quality reprints to provide the volume with both breadth and depth. It is organized into 5 sections and 22 chapters, both the sections and chapters being preceded by introductory comments by the editors.
