Work-Lifestyle Choices in the 21st Century

One of the UK's most contentious sociologists presents a new theory for explaining current and future patterns of women's choices between employment and family work. Preference theory constitutes a major break from male-centred theorizing in sociology and economics in the 20th century. Extensive examples from the USA and Britain illustrate how current social and economic changes are altering women's work-lifestyle choices.

In this original and iconoclastic book, Julian Dodd argues for what he terms 'the simple view' of the ontological nature of works of pure, instrumental music. According to the simple view's first constituent thesis - the type-token theory - such works are eternally existent types of sound-sequence-event and, hence, items discovered rather than created by their composers. According to the simple view's second constituent thesis - timbral sonicism - musical works are identical just in case they sound exactly alike.
