Book Description
EPR of Free Radicals in Solids: Trends in Methods and Applications presents methods and applications of modern EPR for the study of free radical processes in solids, which so far are only available in the journal literature. The first part of the book, covering trends in methods, contains experimentally oriented chapters on continuous wave and pulsed EPR techniques and special methods involving muon magnetic resonance and optical detection and theory for dynamic studies. New simulation schemes, including the influence of dynamics, are presented as well as advances in the calculation of hyperfine and electronic g-tensors. The second part of the book presents applications involving studies of radiation and photo-induced inorganic and organic radicals in inert matrices, including novel results of quantum effects in small radicals. High-spin molecules and complexes are also considered as well as radical processes in photosynthesis. Recent advances in EPR dosimetry are summarized.
Book Description
People who are single are changing the face of America. Did you know that:
* More than 40 percent of the nation’s adults---over 87 million people---are divorced, widowed, or have always been single.
* There are more households comprised of single people living alone than of married parents and their children.
* Americans now spend more of their adult years single than married.
Many of today’s single people have engaging jobs, homes that they own, and a network of friends. This is not the 1950s---singles can have sex without marrying, and they can raise smart, successful, and happy children. It should be a great time to be single. Yet too often single people are still asked to defend their single status by an onslaught of judgmental peers and fretful relatives.
Prominent people in politics, the popular press, and the intelligentsia have all taken turns peddling myths about marriage and singlehood. Marry, they promise, and you will live a long, happy, and healthy life, and you will never be lonely again.
Drawing from decades of scientific research and stacks of stories from the front lines of singlehood, Bella DePaulo debunks the myths of singledom---and shows that just about everything you’ve heard about the benefits of getting married and the perils of staying single are grossly exaggerated or just plain wrong. Although singles are singled out for unfair treatment by the workplace, the marketplace, and the federal tax structure, they are not simply victims of this singlism. Single people really are living happily ever after.
Filled with bracing bursts of truth and dazzling dashes of humor, Singled Out is a spirited and provocative read for the single, the married, and everyone in between.
You will never think about singlehood or marriage the same way again.
Singled Out debunks the Ten Myths of Singlehood, including:
Myth #1: The Wonder of Couples: Marrieds know best.
Myth #3: The Dark Aura of Singlehood: You are miserable and lonely and your life is tragic.
Myth #5: Attention, Single Women: Your work won’t love you back and your eggs will dry up. Also, you don’t get any and you’re promiscuous.
Myth #6: Attention, Single Men: You are horny, slovenly, and irresponsible, and you are the scary criminals. Or you are sexy, fastidious, frivolous, and gay.
Myth #7: Attention, Single Parents: Your kids are doomed.
Myth #9: Poor Soul: You will grow old alone and you will die in a room by yourself where no one will find you for weeks.
Myth #10: Family Values: Let’s give all of the perks, benefits, gifts, and cash to couples and call it family values.
“With elegant analysis, wonderfully detailed examples, and clear and witty prose, DePaulo lays out the many, often subtle denigrations and discriminations faced by single adults in the U.S. She addresses, too, the resilience of single women and men in the face of such singlism. A must-read for all single adults, their friends and families, as well as social scientists and policy advocates.”
---E. Kay Trimberger, author of The New Single Woman

A great consciousness-raiser.......2007-10-05
I just finished this book (which I had checked out from the library) and plan to purchase a copy for re-reading. Recently and very unexpectedly divorced after nearly 30 years of marriage, this book came into my life at the perfect time. I (embarrassingly) recognized myself within the pages as one of those who had unknowingly had the cultural advantages and self-satisfied attitudes of couplehood/marriage.
This book has taken me to a new level of awareness and understanding of society's subtle (and not so subtle) messages about people who are single by choice or by circumstance. Ms. DePaulo's writing is clear, insightful, and humorous. (I found her humor in turns wry, sly, and playful, not at all sarcastic or bitter.) She is right-on in her analysis of cultural views of both singlehood and coupledom.
Aided by the perspective of this book, I am no longer simply accepting life as a single, but looking forward to creating a future as rich, fulfilling, and compassionate as possible. I now view my unexpected singlehood as a blessing that allows me to direct my love and energies into new avenues, including deepening my friendships and providing community service. This book has dramatically redirected my outlook.
Somewhat disappointing.......2007-08-01
A friend sent me DePaulo's chapter headings and they are hilarious! I looked forward to reading her book as an interesting exploration of the devaluation of singlehood. The book's concept is thought provoking. The writing, however, is sarcastic (to the detriment of DePaulo's message), at times embittered, and sometimes tedious (e.g., she'll describe at length another writer's work and then pick it apart bit by bit; she could have instead made her point more clearly and persuasively if she wasn't just reacting to other material). All in all, I was disappointed.
"Don't worry, honey, your turn to divorce will come....".......2007-06-23
DePaulo's book is brilliant, but it made me so angry. Angry at how many couples (from here on, "marrieds") stereotype, stigmatize, and ignore singles, of course! I already knew that marrieds feel sorry for singles because they're "incomplete," "lonely," and "unfulfilled." But not everyone wants the same thing, not everyone wants the conventional, predictable married life. I enjoy solitute tremendously, and marriage has never been my life goal. I'd rather focus on my career, which is more fulfilling than any relationship I've had. I also enjoy traveling on the weekends whenever I want, spending my money how I want, hanging out with single friends (fortunately I still have several of them). Most marrieds don't plan a weekend to go visit a good college friend (well, maybe they will if it's a couple and not merely a single person) and spend money "selfishly" on food, entertainment, and going to take photographs of old nuclear power plants or other unique trips. Does this mean I'm not grown up? no! It means I know what I like to do, so I do it. It's that simple. I feel like I have to put so much energy into defending my contented state, while marrieds are assumed to be content (although I know that isn't always the case, especially since marriage ends in divorce half the time).
I am almost 26 so it's still "acceptable" for me to be single, but people still ask why I don't have a boyfriend. "Don't you want to get married one day?" "Are you dating anyone?" "Don't you want to have children?" "You're attractive, why aren't you with anyone?" (there must be something wrong with you!) I used to feel inferior when asked those kinds of questions, especially in college when people were frantically getting engaged, much like a Baskin Robbins gets raided on the day they sell ice cream for 31 cents per scoop. Better get some before it runs out, ya know. But gradually, I became confident in my singleness by my junior year. This book really reinforced my feelings and it was as if DePaulo was reading my mind for most of it. Especially the chapter about why anybody should CARE if we're single of not? Get a life, marrieds..perhaps you should worry about decreasing your divorce rate instead.
I also liked the part criticizing how society gives a hard time to singles who still live with their parents. I still live with mine but am not "mooching" off them. I pay rent, my car payments, my car insurance, my phone bill, my college loans, and other expenses. I am saving up for my own condo (not because it screams "Single person!" but because it's the only thing I can afford in my area). I have a good relationship with my parents and I give a lot back to the economy, much like the Japanese women. I know that I go out and have a social life more than a lot of marrieds I know. And I'm not going out just to look for a husband either, grrrrr!
I have a good male friend in his late 30s. Some people have asked me if he's ever been married. When I answer No, one of them remarked, "There must be something wrong with him." Actually, there isn't. He just doesn't believe that marriage would improve his life. It's overrated and not a "fix-all" solution. He likes being single! He's happy being single. Is that so difficult to understand? Apparently, it is.
Sure, sometimes I think it would be nice to be married, to have that one person who is supposed to be your best friend, lover, etc. But I'm not going to go around actively looking for it because it's not worth it. If it happens, it happens, but I know I wouldn't mind being single for the rest of my life. I don't need another person to make me feel complete. I'm not going to waste time obsessively searching for the right person (dating is much more of a waste than being contentedly single). Ooh, I must be bitter with this attitude! Sometimes I am, but usually I just think, why try to change my life when I love how it is right now? And marriage could also make my life much worse - you never know if it will work out or not, and you could end up devastated by infidelity, abuse, etc (also true in serious unmarried relationships, i know, but people generally have higher expectations of a fairytale perfect marriage, especially with all that commitment). I know a few married men at work who are cheating on their spouses. Obviously, not all marrieds even respect marriage. How then, can this type of person look down on singles as inferior?
I was especially disgusted with Chris Matthews' treatment of Nader. How dare he imply that because Nader did not consume as much as the marrieds (such as no house, no car), that he was less of a person, less responsible? He is really a thousand more times responsible than Newt Gingrich or Bill Clinton, who have made a mess of their marital relationships. Nader is responsible enough to never embarrass a wife (or any other woman, for that matter) on international television. HE never made a mockery of the all-important marriage as others have done. And he is environmentally responsible for not owning a car because, wow!, he doesn't need one, which makes perfect sense (although not to Matthews). Singles rarely get credit for their accomplishments. I admire him and politicians like Condi Rice all the more because of their singleness.
How are people more "grown up" just because they're married? Nineteen year olds get married and are no more grown up than 19 year old singles. In fact, I argue that 19 years old marrieds are much more stupid and insecure than singles their age.
Have to mention one more thing. Once I was invited on a weekend trip where I would be set up with some guy. But I immediately turned it down because I was buying my new car that weekend. An organizer of the trip then asked me, "Which would you rather have, a new boyfriend or a new car?"
"A new car." Of course. I needed a car, but I didn't need a boyfriend...and still don't.
Singe Edition.......2007-06-13
I had been anticipating the arrival of Bella DePaulo's book for months and read it within a day upon receiving it. Ms. Depaulo could not have said it better when she indicates that not all singles are desperately waiting to be rescued by a mate. In fact many are completely satisfied in their solo state while those who are married may not necessarily be fulfilled. Increasingly individuals are choosing to remain single and Ms. Depaulo helps shatter the stereotypical portrait that has been painted. Bookstores today are replete with kitschy chic lit tales, dating propaganda or stories that glorify mommies but Singled Out is a power piece that raises the individual to the positive and realistic rank they merit. I am thankful for the contribution Ms. Depaulo has made and applaud the sincere and courageous stance she has made in putting forth her writings.

The Last Socially Accepted Prejudice.......2007-06-11
This book is about one of the last forms of prejudice that is still socially acceptable, the stigmatization of people who are single. Contrary to some of the comments made, the author makes it clear from the start that this is not a book about putting down people who are married. The criticism is of married people and others who portray marriage as the only valid lifestyle choice for a mature adult and stereotype single people in such a way that they are portrayed as lesser human beings. I have observed that often, pioneers in exposing stigma of an out group get personally attacked for their "tone", especially if they present compelling arguments that are difficult to reasonably refute.
This is not a book about victims, but rather, a book about the resiliency of single people who have managed to prosper in spite of the negative stereotypes and discrimmination. In each chapter, DePaulo exposes and systematically refutes myths about singles that many in our culture have taken for granted. One of the most prevalent myths is that singles don't "have anybody" when research shows that always single people, especially women have the strongest social support networks. She illustrates how our culture has belittled any relationships other than marriage as unimportant when in fact, friendships and relationships with siblings are just as important and often longer lasting.
The book also exposes how legitimate research can be misinterpreted in the popular media, especially when the data violate cherished beliefs and assumptions. The truth is that singles comprise a higher percentage of households than the traditional married couple with children. While the traditional household is a fulfulling choice for some people, when it comes to marriage, given the high divorce rate and the growing percentage of people who choose to be single and remain happy, clearly one size does not fit all. It is time to stop blaming and pathologizing people for failure to conform to the expectations of society that we all must marry and begin to recognize that differences in civil status are often due to normal, healthy differences in personality and temperament. I have written a lengthier review of this book on my blog:

Book Description
Nancy Leigh DeMoss does not view singleness as a misfortune to be dreaded or resented, but rather, in the will of God, as a wonderful gift to be received with gratitude. She believes that the key to experiencing joy and fullness as a single is to discover and embrace the unique plan and calling of God.
Drawing upon her own experience, as well as the lives of other single men and women who have been sold out to God, Nancy shares ten practical commitments that are the pathway to true blessing for every Christian single.

Packed Full of Widsom for the Christian Single.......2004-07-07
I loved what Nancy had to say and I immediately made some changes in my life. I even taught on this book at a bible study b/c I felt that it was full of wisdom that Christian singles desperately need. It truly was an answer to my prayer on how to better equip singles to make their singleness more effective and to make Godly decisions in everything we do.
Mr. or Miss Christian Single, please get this booklet!.......2001-08-14
When I read how old Nancy Leigh DeMoss was, I said to myself "There's hope for me in finding a godly mate yet!" After reading "Singled Out for Him," my thinking changed to "I want to be like her!" Her booklet has encouraged me so much in my walk as a Christian single that I'm purchasing 10 copies of it to pass along to other Christian singles to encourage them. I highly recommend that every Christian single read this book. (I agree that the booklet was too short but I'm still giving it 5 stars.)
Something all single people should read........1999-11-05
This is a wonderful, yet challenging, book to all singles. You will be cahllenged in many areas of your life to live pure and holy before the Lord.
This one makes you think. I'd recommend it!.......1999-11-05
This book has a lot of good stuff in a little book. It'd get 5 stars, but its too small.
This is a message that is not out there much!.......1998-12-14
This is a book for singles that is not out there too much. It challenges singles to use their singleness to advance the cause of Christ with all of the extra time we have by not having children & spouses. The world's message is to live to please yourself, but this book - like the Bible - challenges us to live to know,serve, and please God.

Book Description
Cassandra Leigh has a long-term lover who is handsome, charismatic, sophisticated--and married. Now Max has abandoned Cass and taken his wife off to America, leaving Cass all alone in her damp little cottage.
Cass always dreamed that one day she and Max would be married and have children, but now she is waking up to reality. Not only is the prince missing, there isn't even a half-way decent frog in the vicinity.
Meanwhile, Jason, one of her oldest friends, has developed a worrying crush on her--she's also had an encounter of a closer kind than she bargained for with Dante Chase, the new owner of the U.K.'s most ghost-infested manor house, a man even more haunted by his past than Cass is by hers.
Now, the vicar wants to sell Cass off to the highest bidder at the local charity slave auction, and Max, Jason and Dante are each determined to bid for her. And somehow Cass knows that they're all after more than a little light dusting . . .

Nothing Grabbed Me.......2005-07-27
I previously read "Every Woman For Herself" and really liked it, so I picked up the other Tricia Ashley novel that my library offered. This book bored me to the point where I was skipping pages and skimming paragraphs waiting for something to grab me. I liked Cass and Orla, but never warmed up to Jason - Cass's bear of a friend with a reportedly horrible temper and missing wife. Dante Chase gave me the creeps, too. Yes, yes, haunted by his past and all that but where was the appeal? I never got to the point where I understood why Cass liked him so much. The physical descripton of him was unappealing, as was his personality. A disappointment. Read "Every Woman For Herself" instead.
Highly recommended book to curl up with!.......2004-08-09
Cassandra "Cass" Leigh is a famous horror writer. Writing horror novels is a way to purge herself of past demons that still haunt her nightmares. Nightmares that are courtesy of her parents' idea of punishment, being locked up under cupboards for hours on end. She has a long-term lover, who is married, named Max. Max has left Cass in the U.K. and taken his wife off to America for about a year, leaving Cass all alone. Cass has always thought Max and she would eventually marry, have children, and grow old together. Now she realizes that it's never going to happen. Being in her mid-forties, it is probably too late for her to even get pregnant.
Jason, her long time friend, has developed a crush on her, due to the Vampirella costume she wears while she does crypt-o-grams (singing telegrams). He has told Cass in no uncertain terms that he would GLADLY let her use him to get pregnant! At the same time, Dante Chase, the new owner of the U.K.'s most ghost-infested manor house, Kedge Hall, has caught her attention. Now, THERE is a man even more haunted by his past than SHE is!
Every year the vicar has a slave auction that Cass volunteers for. The public bids on the volunteers, and once their indentured servant is purchased, the winner has a slave for one day to do chores for them. (Nothing kinky.) Max, Jason, and Dante are each determined to bid for her. And Cass somehow knows that they are all after more than a little light dusting or palm reading. Oh, did I forget to mention about Cass's little talent? If she touches someone she can feel their emotions, sort of an empathy talent.
Through it all is her crazy family. Her father calls often and leaves long rants on her machine calling her the spawn of satan and preaching brimstone. Her mother won't speak with her. One of her brothers climbs rocks for fun. The other brother is always stoned, and is quite a character through this whole book, and her "sweet" sister, Jane, is anything but.
***** This book will have you chuckling out loud as you read. Never a dull moment in this novel. And I could not help but L-O-V-E Cass. She is a riot and so easy going. If the author of this little gem, Trisha Ashley, ever decides to give up Contemporary, she could go into horror! Cass is always daydreaming scenes for whatever horror novel she is currently writing. I found myself as fascinated with Cass's writing as I was with Cass herself! Author Trisha Ashley is an author to watch as she buds out with all her talents. Count me in as one of her new adoring fans. Highly recommended reading here! *****

engaging chick lit .......2004-07-28
Popular horror writer Cass Leigh believes that her personal life is an even bigger horror tale than her novels. For about two decades Cass had an affair with a married professor; she always dreamed that one day she would be his spouse instead of the other woman and raise children with him. Instead Max has crossed the Atlantic to America with his wife at is side leaving the middle aged Cass with regrets and sorrows.
Already feeling like her poetry writing sister, two brothers, and her parents are right that she is the devil's offspring or at least his "Twisted Sister"; matters become worse as men insist on new roles in her life. Her long term pal Jason suddenly desires her and Dante's past makes her past look like heaven. Finally, even the village vicar wants Cass as he wants to matchmake the former mistress to the highest bidder at a charity slave auction in which Max sans spouse competes with salivating Jason and brooding Dante for Cass.
This engaging chick lit tale subtly pays homage to Jane Austen while offering a solid amusing contemporary story that chick lit fans will appreciate. Cass is the center of the novel as all relationships come and go with her whether it is her lover, her family, or the other men in her life. Trisha Ashley makes her champion a full person who wonders when and how life had begun passing her by. The rest of the cast provides support but pale in comparison to the incomparable Cass.

I saw this book on my friend's shelf and decided to read it. It's the worst book I've ever read about dating by far. I consider myself a pretty successful person with women, but this book was so bad that I decided to come here and post a review! My advice to you is get something better, it's full of eye candy and colourful design, but the content... I'm speechless!

Compelling.......2006-03-09
In this novel of psychological suspense, Laura Fisher is determined to put her abusive childhood and marriage behind her and create a new happy life. Through hard work and determination, she achieves success as a television producer and raises a son by herself. As her son enters adulthood, she begins to suspect that he may have inherited a legacy of violence.
I read this book because I greatly enjoyed Mr. Brett's previous two out-of-series novels, A Shock to the System and Dead Romantic. I did not enjoy Singled Out as much. The first disappointment was the use of graphic sex scenes. The other two novels dealt with complex sexual themes, but nonexplicity. I also felt the book suffered from lack of character development, especially that of Laura's son. We are suddenly introduced to him as a university student, and have no idea what sort of person he is. Perhaps this ambiguity is intentional, but I found it made the character uninteresting.
The best scenes were those where Laura and her brother debated the possibility of overcoming a tragic childhood. The counterpoint of Laura's optimisim and her brother's fatalism made for good reading.
Suprisingly dark little tale from cosy crime maestro.......2002-10-29
Singled Out stands somewhat apart from most other crime novels by Simon Brett.For one thing it is not a series book and there is no place for either Charles Parris the actor cum sleuth,or for Mrs Pargeter ,the Miss Marple like figure,who have been in the vast majority of his titles.More importantly it is not a cosy,for there is an edge to the book lacking in his series works.
The book takes place in two distinct halves,opening in 1974 when Laura Fisher,a TV producer sets out to seduce a total stranger in a London hotel room,with the object of getting pregnant.She was abused by her father who is serving time for murder and child abuse,and her marriage to privately educated Michael has also seen her beaten up.She is determined to prove that she can raise a child as a single mother and break the chain of abuse and violence.Her policemen brother Kent,who sought to protect her during childhood is unsure of her wisdom but she proceeds.At the end of the opening part it is revealed that the father was under suspicion of murdering a woman near the hotel where the child was conceived.
Part 2 takes place in 1993 and the son Tom is now 19-a strange,uncommunicative child who is accused of assault on a female student who is subsequently killed.Has "bad blood"asserted itself again?
The book deals with the theme of child abuse frankly and openly and the damage to those who are victims is made clear especially on Kent,the brother who is emotionally constipated.Brett is strong on the type of middle class hypocrisy that can sweep abuse under the carpet in order to maintain appearances
He also deals with sexist attitudes in the 70,s and shows how the spirit of the pioneers of the womens movement has been hijacked by platitude mouthing nonentities in these exalted times and the lie of political correctness is nailed with precision..Good plotting,sharp characterization and crisp writing go towards making this a neat and economical little tale that devotees of the medium boiled crime tale will enjoy
Crisp writing,sharp characters and a neat working out of the plot
Quick read, interesting character, surprise twist at the end.......2001-07-24
This book was recommended to me by a fellow Richard North Patterson fan. This is not as gripping, but a very good read. I could feel a plot twist coming at the end of part 1 -- but I didn't figure out "who did it" until the last few chapters. This is a great summer book.

Product Description
Singled Out is based on Dr. Samualsen's play, The Way We're Wired. In awarding this play the 1999 Citation for Drama, The Association of Mormon Letters said: "[This play] does what all plays should and only the best few do: it takes us deeply and satisfying into the minds and hearts of real people; lets us take the measure of their pain and joy; and causes us to discover that they are us. With this play, Eric has taken drama of the contemporary Mormon scene to a whole new country, but, actually, love. Everyone, Mormon or non-Mormon, who is thinking about trying to become a human being, should see this extraordinary play about every six months."
