Confessions of a Female Truck Driver by Rebby Barnard,Rebekkah Barnard Pdf
I aspired to write since early childhood. My mother loved my writing and saved things I wrote at an early age which she treasured. In the 1990s, while driving a semitruck I learned quite a bit about myself and the world. It was fun and memorable, and I will never forget it. Later I drove a taxicab. Passengers sometimes would ask me if we are on the show Taxicab Confessions. I revealed my trucking experiences and changed the title to Confessions of a Female Truck Driver. Just recently, I became a truck driver again! I am so excited to be back-and maybe I will write a sequel to this book one day. What is it really like driving a truck? It's a complete subculture with its own standards, ethics, and dialect. And it never hurts to have a sense of humor. This is the world of the truck driver through my eyes. "Breaker one-nine. Breaker one-nine. We got a great big convoy and I got your back door. Keep the greasy side down and the shiny side up." That's a big 10-4, good buddy
Advancing Identity Theory, Measurement, and Research by Jan E. Stets,Ashley V. Reichelmann,K Jill Kiecolt Pdf
This volume presents recent advances in identity theory, which is a prominent and active theory in sociological social psychology and a versatile framework for explaining the sources of identities, how they develop, how they operate in situations and groups, and how they influence behavior and well-being. The volume is organized around new theoretical developments, measurement techniques, and research in the field. Theoretical developments covered in the volume sharpen, reframe, and expand fundamental concepts in identity theory. State-of-the-art techniques for measuring identities assess, refine, and update existing measures. New research in the volume addresses both individual processes and outcomes and group processes and outcomes. The chapters together showcase the wide applicability of identity theory to a host of identities, such as the religious, gender, sexual, physical attractiveness, racial/ethnic, parent, student, partisan, and group member identities. The volume editors introduce identity theory and provide an overview of the chapters. In the last chapter, they describe how this volume points to future directions for advancing theory, measurement, and research in identity theory. This volume is of interest to a wider readership, including sociological social psychologists, sociologists, and scholars in other disciplines (psychology, political science, economics, education) whose research or teaching deals with identities. Graduate and advanced undergraduate students interested in identity research will also find this book accessible. Finally, this is for discerning laypersons who are interested in how identities influence and shape their lives and affect their well-being.
