Individual Chapters for Sale Special Note to College Professors When Harcourt Brace (cloth, 1994) and Avon (paperback, 1995) let this book go out of print, professors kept copying individual chapters, lending students their personal copies, and sending students to the library so they could read the startling statistics, absorb the shocking stories, and think for themselves about men, women, sports, sex, and power. Now Mariah has updated The Stronger Women Get, THe More Men Love Football and made it available in individual chapters, to meet the needs of your curriculum. Guaranteed to generate class discussion -- to put it mildly -- this book will challenge your students to view women, men, sports and society in a way no other book has, before or since. Q and A with College Professors Q: Is it okay to keep xeroxing it? A: No. Now that the book is back in print, please respect the copyright, and the author, by paying for each copy of the text you share with your students, or asking them to come to this site and pay for their copies themselves. Q: What if I want 15 copies of a particular chapter? Is it okay to pay for one copy, then print 15? A: No. Please pay for each copy you plan to use, just as you would if you were ordering books. Q: I've got a limited budget. A: That's why chapters are now available on an individual basis, for less than $5 apiece. Q: I've got some leftover copies I printed for last year's coursepack. You don't mind if I use them up before buying more, do you? A: Mariah did not object about this widespread practice when her book was out of print. She was glad professors and students continued to find it meaningful, readable, and helpful. But now that it's back in print: It's illegal, unethical, and disrespectful to distribute xeroxed copies of books or parts of books. Please do the right thing and pay for all the copies you plan to use. Thank you! Your support enables Mariah to continue to write! Selected Comments by College Professors "I have used "The Stronger Women Get..." in my Sport and Gender class in the past and continue to use select chapters now. I am very excited that you are updating it and look forward to using the new edition in the future. The students really like your writing style and I appreciate how well it is grounded in the research and that it includes so many great examples."-- Vikki Krane, Director, Women's Studies; Professor, Sport Psychology, Bowling Green State University "A powerful and moving critique of the meanings and consequences of men's love of football. I wish that for one Monday night, men would turn off their television and instead read this book." -- Michael Messner, USC sport sociology professor; author, Power at Play Contents To contact Mariah about her presentations, call 703/276-8323 or write to her at Mariah@MariahBurtonNelson.com Home © Mariah Burton Nelson 2002 Site Redesign by ALT Designs |
