Now available in paperback from psychologist and award- winningcolumnistSusanPinker, the groundbreaking and contro- versial book that is “lively, well- writtenimportant and timely” (The Washington Post).In this “ringing salvo in the sex-difference wars” (The New York Times BookReview), Pinker examines howfundamental sex differences play out over the life span. By comparing fragile boys who succeed later in life with high- achieving women who opt out or plateau in their careers,Pinker turns several assumptions upside down: that women and men are biologically equivalent, that intelligence is all it takes to succeed, and that women are just versions of men, with identical interests and goals.

regarding some of the poor reviews written here, it wouldn't be philadelphia if the boos didn't rain down on the deserving or the virtuous. Susan Pinker has done an excellent job of marshaling the academic and medical evidence related to educational and career performance by women and men. A case study is given of a packet-based MPLS over ATM VPN.
The most important chapter of the book for me was chapter 7, which discusses MPLS traffic
