Fight or Be Slaves: The History of the Oakland-East Bay Labor Movement

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The Oakland-East Bay labor movement has been overshadowed for far too long by attention to San Francisco. The East Bay has a rich, militant and surprisingly independent history. `Fight or Be Slaves,` the title taken from a statement by C.L. Dellums, Oakland`s vice president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, sets East Bay history in context of national events using extensive primary and secondary sources. Struggles against union-busting and concessions take the story to the present time, when hundreds of East Bay unionists went to Seattle to protest against the World Trade Organization. Sensitive to issues of class, race, and gender, `Fight or Be Slaves` is filled with vignettes that bring to life the story of workers in struggle. [detailed...]

Eugene S. Robinson
Fight: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Ass-Kicking but Were Afraid You`d Get Your Ass Kicked for Asking

2007 y.
Publisher: Harper
Description: Crushing your enemies, driving them before you, and hearing the lamentations of their women? It doesn`t get any better than this.` -Eugene Robinson, ripping off John Milius. That`s the sentiment that surges just below the surface of Eugene Robinson`s Fight - an engrossing, intimate look into the all-absorbing world of fighting. Robinson - a former body-builder, one-time bouncer, and lifelong fight connoisseur - takes readers on a no-holds-barred plunge into what fighting is all about, and what fighters live for. If George Plimpton had muscles and had been choked out one too many times--this is the book he could have written. When Robinson and his fellow fighters mix it up, they live completely for the moment: absorbed in the feel of muscles slippery with sweat, the metallic tang of blood mingling with saliva in the mouth, the sweet, firm thud of taped knuckles impacting flesh. They fight because it feels good. They fight because they want to win. And even if they get their… [detailed...]

Fighting Cancer From Within: How to Use the Power of Your Mind For Healing

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description A breakthrough guide for cancer patients on using the mind to treat the body, from a pioneer in complementary medicine Recent research has shown that the mind can make a tremendous difference in not only the daily experience of living with cancer but also in the potential for overcoming it. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Martin L. Rossman-hailed as `one of the greatest healers of our generation` by Rachel Naomi Remen-shows cancer patients how to use imagery in specific ways that can help them in their fight against cancer. Imagery is a natural, efficient way of storing and processing information, and one that has powerful effects on both emotional states and physiology. And while imagery is nota substitute for medical, surgical, or other physical approaches to cancer therapy, scientific studies have proven that it complements and enhances those treatments in many important ways. In this first book of its kind, Rossman… [detailed...]

Fighting Corruption in Asia: Causes, Effects and Remedies

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Fundamental changes within economies are needed to create arm?s-length relations between governments, corporations, and banks. We are taking risks when investing in the future, and risk-taking demands openness and truthfulness from the agents we employ. If investors and accountants can concur on the degree of disclosure that is morally right we may come to some global agreement on what constitutes corruption ? but to do this we have to bring together those who advocate profit-making with those who see this as usury, and we have to care for the future in novel ways ? unknown in the past ? so as to allow firms to be locally inefficient (apparently) while preserving the environment. This book looks widely at the prevailing situation in Asia and considers how little some governments are doing to guide their institutions towards probity and transparency. While fundamental changes are needed around the globe, it is in the developing nations that there is scope for… [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionOn his first day in basic training in 1942, Lawrence Cane wrote his wife, Grace, from Fort Dix, New Jersey. `I`m in the army now-really!` he wrote, complaining, `I don`t have enough time to write a decent letter.` Three years later, Capt. Lawrence Cane came home from World War II. He`d landed at Utah Beach on D-Day, helped liberate France and Belgium, and survived the Battle of the Bulge. He wom a Silver Star for bravery. And he managed to write 300 letters home to Grace. They tell a different kind of war story- a unique portrait of courage in battle fueled by a life long passion for political justice. Cane`s fight for freedom began in 1937, when he joined the Abraham Lincoln Brigade and was wounded fighting for democracy in Spain. At 30, he enlisted in the new war against fascism, and as an officer with the 238th Combat Engineer Battalion cleared mines, destroyed fortifications, and opened roads from Normandy to the Siegfried Line.

Fighting Terror Online: The Convergence of Security, Technology, and the Law

2007 y.
Publisher: Springer
Description: The unprecedented events that have taken place in recent years have led legislators and governments throughout the world to reconsider and restructure their policies regarding security issues. Today, worldwide attention is being given to a new security threat, in the form of global terrorism. Legal systems are being called upon to provide a response to these threats, in all areas of life, including the online environment. Among its many tools, global terror also uses advanced technological methods. This fact presents a difficult challenge to policymakers. Therefore, we have chosen to focus this book on the issue of formulating appropriate policy at the interface between security and technology, human rights and economic policy. The fundamental issue – the tension between security needs and civil rights – is not new. A great deal of experience has been amassed in various countries in this regard, and the question that now arises is whether the existing system of… [detailed...]

Fighting Terror in Cyberspace

2005 y.
Publisher: World Scientific Publishing Company
Description: As became apparent after the tragic events of September 11, 2001, terrorist groups are increasingly using the Internet as a communication and propaganda tool where they can safely communicate with their affiliates, coordinate action plans, raise funds, and introduce new supporters to their networks. This is evident from the large number of web sites run by different terrorist organizations, though the URLs and geographical locations of these web sites are frequently moved around the globe. The wide use of the Internet by terrorists makes some people think that the risk of a major cyber-attack against the communication infrastructure is low. However, this situation may change abruptly once the terrorists decide that the Net does not serve their purposes anymore and, like any other invention of our civilization, deserves destruction. Fighting Terror in Cyberspace is a unique volume, which provides, for the first time, a comprehensive overview of terrorist threats in cyberspace along… [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionDetermined to be a U.S. Marine Corps officer, Bruce Yamashita enrolled in Officer Candidate School, where he was the target of persistent racial harassment by officers and staff. After enduring nine weeks of emotional and physical abuse, Yamashita was `disenrolled` in April 1989--kicked out of the Marine Corps because of the color of his skin. Fighting Tradition is Yamashita`s own story of his courageous struggle to expose a pattern of racial discrimination against minorities that has existed at various levels of the Corps. With the support of a broad coalition of community and civil rights organizations, the Hawai`i-born law school graduate fought a five-year-long legal, political, and media battle against the military establishment that ended in his commissioning as a captain and the revision of Marine Corps policies and procedures. Fighting Tradition is not only a moving story of personal sacrifice and vision, but contributes also both directly and… [detailed...]

Marc W. Steinberg
Fighting Words: Working-Class Formation, Collective Action, and Discourse in Early Nineteenth-Century England

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: A key component of social life, discourse mediates the processes of class formation and social conflict. Drawing on dialogic theory and building on the work of E. P. Thompson, Marc W. Steinberg argues for the importance of incorporating discursive analysis into the historical reconstruction of class experience. Amending models of collective action, he offers new insights on how discourse shapes the dynamics of popular protest. To support his thesis, he presents studies of two English trade groups in the 1820s: cotton spinners from Lancashire factory towns and London silk weavers. For each case, Steinberg closely examines the labor process, industrial organization, social life, community politics, discursive struggles, and collective actions. By describing how workers shared experiences of exploitation and oppression in their daily lives, he shows how discourses of contention were products of struggle and how they framed possibilities for collective action. Embracing work in literary… [detailed...]

Lowell Turner
Fighting for Partnership: Labor and Politics in Unified Germany (Cornell Studies in Political Economy)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: West Germany from 1949 to 1990 was a story of virtually unparalleled political and economic success. This economic miracle incorporated a well-functioning political democracy, expanded to include a `social partnership` system of economic representation. Then the Wall came down. Economic crisis in the East--industrial collapse, massive layoffs, a demoralized workforce--triggered gloomy predictions. Was this the beginning of the end for the widely admired `German model?` Lowell Turner has extensively researched the German transformation in the 1990s. Indeed, in 1993 he was at the factory gates at Siemens in Rostock for the first major strike in postCold War eastern Germany. In that strike, and in a series of other incisively analyzed workplace and job developments in eastern Germany, he shows the remarkable resilience and flexibility of the German social partnership and the contribution of its institutions to unification. His controversial and, to some, radical findings will stimulate… [detailed...]
