Unlike a textbook, this book about home buying is short, informal, and easy to understand. It’s the "Cliffs Notes" version, filled with information and tips I’ve learned throughout my career.

The book provides the answer: greater economic inequality has profoundly changed marriage markets, the way men and women match up when they search for a life partner.

Debunking stereotypes of sex workers, this book makes an invaluable contribution to discourses about work, society, and policy.
