67591The time divide : work, family, and gender inequality
In a panoramic study that draws on diverse sources, Jerry A. Jacobs and Kathleen Gerson explain why and how time pressures have emerged and what we can do to alleviate them. In contrast to the conventional wisdom that all Americans are overworked, they show that time itself has become a form of social inequality that is dividing Americans in new ways―between the overworked and the underemployed, women and men, parents and non-parents.

67598The transuranium people : the inside story
In this volume, three pioneering investigators provide an account of the discovery and investigation of the nuclear and chemical properties of the 20 known transuranium elements. The neutron irradiation of uranium led to the discovery of nuclear fission in 1938 and then to the first transuranium element, neptunium (atomic number 93) in 1940. Plutonium (94) quickly followed and the next nine elements completed the actinide series by 1961. Investigation of the chemical properties of actinides was followed more recently by chemical studies of the first three transactinides - rutherfordium (104), hahnium (105) and seaborgium (106). Recent discoveries have extended the known elements to 112.
