Lean Out

The Truth About Women, Power, and the Workplace

By: Marissa Orr

Girl gangs reigning terror at Facebook, narcissistic overlords at Google . . . this is the backdrop of Lean Out, which takes readers on the journey of Marissa Orr, a single mom of three trying to find success in her fifteen-year career at the world’s top tech giants. Orr delivers an ambitious attempt to answer the critical question: What have we gotten wrong about women at work? “This book is a must-read for insights on the impact that reversing systemic gender biases can have on creating more diverse, healthier workplaces for both women and men.” --Joanne Harrell, Senior Director, USA Citizenship, Microsoft “This book will make you think differently about what it will take for women to succeed at the highest levels in American business.” --Rishad Tobaccowala, Chief Growth Officer, Publicis Groupe Lean Out offers a new and refreshingly candid perspective on what it’s really like for today’s corporate underdogs. Based on both in-depth research and personal experiences, Orr punctures a gaping hole in today’s feminist rhetoric and sews it back up with compelling new arguments for the reasons more women don’t make it to the top and how companies can better incentivize women by actually listening to what they have to say and by rewarding the traits that make them successful. In Lean Out, Orr uncovers: Why our pursuit to close the gender gap has come at the expense of female well-being. The need to redefine success and change the way corporations choose their leaders. The way most career advice books targeting professional women seek to change their behavior rather than the system. Why modern feminism has failed to make any progress on its goals for equality. More than fifty years since the passage of the Equal Pay Act, the wage gap still hovers at 80 percent, and only 5 percent of CEOs in the Fortune 500 are women. Today, rising up the ranks in many companies still often means cutthroat, win-at-all-costs tactics, where being the loudest voice in the room is more important than being the person with the best ideas for moving the company forward. Not surprisingly, most women don’t want to play this game. An everyday working woman with a sardonic sense of humor, Orr is an endearing antihero who captures the voice for a new generation of women at work. Lean Out presents a revolutionary path forward, to change the life trajectories of women in the corporate world and beyond.

Emerging Diseases

Emergence and Control of Zoonotic Ortho- and Paramyxovirus Diseases

By: Betty Dodet,Marissa Vicari

Researchers are still identifying micro-organisms that cause new diseases in humans. A basic factor in the emergence of these diseases is the role played by animals, which act as a reservoir for certain viruses. In favourable conditions, such viruses can cross the species barrier and infect humans. The book takes a close look at two families of virus: orthomyxoviridae and paramyxoviridae, which have infected many species of vertebrates and are responsible for zoonosis. The two main parts of the book describe how the viruses operate, how they spread and the risk factors for humans. In addition to a specific and detailed study of these two micro-organisms, the book highlights the fascinating history of such diseases, their emergence, development and disappearance. They have occurred throughout human history, underscoring the role of the environment and the way it changes, often as a result of human intervention. Sponsored by the Mérieux Foundation and written by leading international specialists, this book provides first-class information about these new viruses.

Concepts of Tissue-Biomaterial Interactions

Fundamentals and New Directions

By: Rena Bizios,Marissa E. Wechsler

Biology and engineering meet in this groundbreaking and growing discipline Biomedical engineering is an established interdisciplinary research and training area, combining various aspects of physiology, biology, materials science and engineering. Biomedical engineering programs and courses are integral parts of pertinent curricula, generating an urgent need for textbooks which can introduce this fundamental subject to new generations of students, researchers and practicing professionals. The textbook Concepts of Tissue-Biomaterial Interactions meets this need with an introduction to the subject. Beginning with various, key, fundamental concepts of cellular biology and the physiology of tissue wound healing (required to understand interactions of tissues and implants) it offers essential information and insight regarding the design of successful biomaterial implants. Concluding with a look at the current forefront and future of the field, it is an indispensable introduction for fundamental and cutting-edge aspects of biomedical engineering applications. Concepts of Tissue-Biomaterial Interactions readers will also find: Introduction to biological aspects such as cell-extracellular matrix interactions and cell-substrate interactions Details regarding various aspects of the process of normal tissue wound healing Current knowledge of tissue wound healing in the presence of implants Examples of pathological complications, including infection Design criteria for biocompatible implants The process of obtaining regulatory approval of new biomaterials and implantable medical devices by pertinent regulatory agencies Implant biomaterial and medical devices: past, present, and future Concepts of Tissue-Biomaterial Interactions is recommended for advanced undergraduate and for graduate students interested in biomedical engineering, biomaterials, tissue engineering, and implantable biomaterials/medical devices, as well as a reference for practicing biomedical engineering professionals.
