He's a real Nowhere Man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his nowhere plans
For nobody.

Warren Farrell - "Why Men Earn More: The Startling Truth Behind the Pay Gap" (2005)

ISBN 0814472109 | January 2005 | 288 pages| PDF | 1.5 Mb

“Highly original, pioneering research offering both sexes creative
opportunities for much wiser life and work choices.”
—T George Harris, former editor of Harvard Business Review
and editor-in-chief of Psychology Today

“Why Men Earn More is nothing less than a guidebook for a woman to dramatically increase her salary by making smarter choices in the workplace, combined with an understanding of what trade-offs might be involved. Lying to women about why they are earning less is one of the most disempowering acts imaginable, and Warren Farrell, by bringing a good dose of truth into the conversation, has written a remarkably liberating book for both men and women.”
—Ken Wilber, author, A Brief History of Everything

James Patterson - "6th Target" (2007)

6th book of Women's Murder Club series

When a horrifying attack leaves one of the four members of the Women's Murder Club struggling for her life, the others fight to keep a madman behind bars before anyone else is hurt. And Lindsay Boxer and her new partner in the San Francisco police department run flat-out to stop a series of kidnappings that has electrified the city: children are being plucked off the streets together with their nannies-- but the kidnappers aren't demanding ransom. Amid uncertainty and rising panic, Lindsay juggles the possibility of a new love with an unsolvable investigation, and the knowledge that one member of the club could be on the brink of death.
And just when everything appears momentarily under control, the case takes a terrifying turn, putting an entire city in lethal danger. Lindsay must make a choice she never dreamed she'd face--with no certainty that either outcome has more than a prayer of success.
