Description
The 1990 publication of You Just Don’t Understand: Women and Men in Conversation brought to public attention the different ways that men and women communicate. Its author suggested that misunderstandings in male-female relationships can result from such simple differences as the way men and women sit when talking or the words they use during those talks. Communications professor Rachel Tighe (University of Virginia-Wise) examines the different ways men and women talk and theorizes their effects. Also featured: Chemists, alchemists and dreamers sought for years to replicate the subterranean process that creates that most sought-after gem—the diamond. Finally in 1954 General Electric scientists produced the lustrous gems in the laboratory. Scientist Robert Hazen (George Mason University), author of The Diamond Makers, details the scientists’ efforts. The tale includes peanut butter.
