The Inmate Prison Experience by Craig He...
This book deals with a subject that is most timely-the United States today incarcerates more people than any other industrialized country in the world. The incarceration rate is growing rapidly, and minorities are disproportionately represented among correctional populations. This book provides a comprehensive examination of who the inmates are and what prison does to them, and places it in a historical context with the use of both recent and older research on the subject.
This collection of articles deals with one component of corrections-the inmate prison experience. By "inmate prison experience" the authors mean the impact of prison on inmates. How does living in prison affect people? This book is intended to serve as a reader for courses in corrections. It is comprised of selected articles, all of which focus on how inmates adjust to prison, and the factors, which influence this adjustment.

A History of Gender in America by Sylvia...
A History of Gender in America introduces students to the concept of gender and the way that ideas about masculinity and femininity have been defined and contested from the colonial period through the twentieth century in the United States. It allows students to reflectively analyze and develop a sophisticated and complex picture not only of how men and women in the past have constructed their personal identities and conducted their lives, but also how the power to do so has been negotiated and distributed.
Combining introductory essays that survey the literature on the history of gender, as well as documents, articles, study questions, and bibliographies, a mixture of chronological and topical chapters offers teachers the material they need to explore with their students such questions as:
