Masculinity In The Twenty First Century
"Once again, Jack Myers has his fingers on the pulse of the very latest. Myers has clearly done his homework, and the result is this superb book." --Ken Burns, documentary filmmaker of The Roosevelts and The Civil War
After being told all their lives to "be a man" and "man up," men are now rejecting the macho stereotype and instead developing empathy, getting in touch with their emotions, and becoming more sensitive in their relationships. Women are gaining ground in business, culture, education, relationships, and politics as traditional male and female roles disappear.
The Future of Men: Masculinity in the Twenty-First Century prepares men and women for this shift in gender norms. As the definition of a "real man" evolves, understanding the future of men in business, politics, sports, education, relationships, and parenting will be essential for men to maintain psychological well-being, strengthen their self-esteem and sexual self-confidence, and rewire their emotional lives. The Future of Men provides tools to help men, and especially younger men, recognize and embrace new behaviors that are required for health and happiness at work, at home, and in their relationships.

What is a True First Edition?
Rather than adopting the "Collectors" method of describing a book, I use the publishers terms for them to provide a more accurate description.
So, That said, while many books state "First Edition", this term can be confusing. A First Edition can have many printings but only the First Printing is the True First Edition. Publishers all use slightly different methods but most use a number line to define which printing, state "First Published in" with no line number or will state "First Edition" and list no line number. With only one exception the line numbers will all include a "1" for the True First Printing hence a True First Edition. Random House and it's subsidiaries use a line starting in "2" (recently they started using a "1" like other publishers) and state plainly "First Edition" if it is a first printing and eliminate the "First Edition" once they start the second printing.
Many editions state First Edition, as they are until a reprint is done, but this is not the same as what collectors call a "True First Edition". A books value is in the printing and the First Printing is the most valuable and is referred to as the "True First Edition".
An original Book Club issue released at the time the original First Edition is released will be described as a First Edition Book Club and later issues by book clubs will not include the First Edition designation.
In my listings all True First Editions will state "First Printing" and if only stating First Edition it will indicate a later printing or re-issue in the description.
