Larry Lloyd
Hard Man: Hard Game

2008 y.
Publisher: John Blake
Description: Laurence Valentine Lloyd - Larry Lloyd - was one of the toughest, most uncompromising players in his heyday. His strength and battle-hardened nature saw this defender win league titles and European cups throughout an illustrious career. Signed from his hometown club, Bristol Rovers, by legendary Liverpool manager Bill Shankly, Lloyd soon became a regular in the Liverpool team. Alongside skipper Tommy Smith he became renowned as being one half of the toughest defense in the game, no mean feat considering this was in the 1970s, when football really was a tough game. Making his first appearance for England in 1971, under Sir Alf Ramsay, Lloyd`s career went from strength to strength. Liverpool stormed to a League and UEFA Cup double in 1973 - a season in which he didn`t miss a single minute of the 54 games - and it seemed there was no stopping this indomitable defensive force. But disaster struck in the following season when an injury saw him replaced by up-and-coming Reds` hero Phil… [detailed...]

Publisher: Spectra
Description: Boba Fett fears only one enemy--the one he cannot see…. Feared and admired, respected and despised, Boba Fett enjoys a dubious reputation as the galaxy`s most successful bounty hunter. Yet even a man like Boba Fett can have one too many enemies…. When Boba Fett stumbles across evidence implicating Prince Xizor in the murder of Luke Skywalker`s aunt and uncle, Fett makes himself an enemy even he fears: the unknown mastermind behind a monstrous deception, who will kill to hide his tracks. Fett also finds himself in possession of an amnesiac young woman named Neelah, who may be the key to the mystery--or a decoy leading Fett into a murderous ambush. Fett`s last hope is to run through the list of Xizor`s hidden enemies. And since Xizor`s hidden enemies are almost as legion as Fett`s, the chance of survival is slim--even for someone as skilled and relentless as Boba Fett. [detailed...]

Hard Times in the Lands of Plenty: Oil Politics in Iran and Indonesia

2007 y.
Publisher: Cornell University Press
Description: That natural resources can be a curse as well as a blessing is almost a truism in political analysis. In many late-developing countries, the `resource curse` theory predicts, the exploitation of valuable resources will not result in stable, prosperous states but rather in their opposite. Petroleum deposits, for example, may generate so much income that rulers will have little need to establish efficient, tax-extracting bureaucracies, leading to shallow, poorly functioning administrations that remain at the mercy of the world market for oil. Alternatively, resources may be geographically concentrated, thereby intensifying regional, ethnic, or other divisive tensions. In Hard Times in the Land of Plenty, Benjamin Smith deciphers the paradox of the resource curse and questions its inevitability through an innovative comparison of the experiences of Iran and Indonesia. These two populous, oil-rich countries saw profoundly different changes in their fortunes in the period 1960-1980…. [detailed...]

Charles Dickens
Hard Times

2000 y.
Publisher: Wordsworth Editions Limited
Description: Unusually for Dickens, `Hard Times` is set, not in London, but in the imaginary mid-Victorian Northern industrial town of Coketown with its blackened factories, downtrodden workers and polluted environment. This is the soulless domain of the strict utilitarian Thomas Gradgrind and the heartless factory owner Josiah Bounderby. However, human joy is not excluded thanks to `Mr Sleary`s Horse-Riding` circus, a gin-soaked and hilarious troupe of open-hearted and affectionate people who act as an antidote to all the drudgery and misery endured by the ordinary citizens of Coketown. Macaulay attacked `Hard Times` for its `sullen socialism`, but 20th-century critics such as George Bernard Shaw and F.R.Leavis have praised this book in the highest terms, while readers the world over have found inspiration and enjoyment from what is both Dickens` shortest completed novel and also one of his important statements on Victorian society.

Hard Work: Remaking the American Labor Movement

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This concise overview of the labor movement in the United States focuses on why American workers have failed to develop the powerful unions that exist in other industrialized countries. Packed with valuable analysis and information, Hard Work explores historical perspectives, examines social and political policies, and brings us inside today`s unions, providing an excellent introduction to labor in America. Hard Work begins with a comparison of the very different conditions that prevail for labor in the United States and in Europe. What emerges is a picture of an American labor movement forced to operate on terrain shaped by powerful corporations, a weak state, and an inhospitable judicial system. What also emerges is a picture of an American worker that has virtually disappeared from the American social imagination. Recently, however, the authors find that a new kind of unionism--one that more closely resembles a social movement--has begun to develop from the shell… [detailed...]
