After Lean Production: Evolving Employment Practices in the World Auto Industry (Cornell International Industrial and Labor Relations Reports (Paperback))

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: `This book has two main strengths. First, its approach gives a sense of the texture and variety of the implementation of lean production, the forces that shape it in practice, and the alternatives that may be available. Second, the book`s international focus provides a wealth of fascinating material concerning the influence of national conditions on the shaping of production practices.`--Harley Shaiken, author of Work Transformed: Automation and Labor in the Computer Age Nearly every country that produces cars views the automobile industry as strategically important because of its direct economic significance and because it serves as a bellwether for innovation in employment conditions. In this book, industrial relations experts from eleven countries consider the state of the industry worldwide. They are particularly interested in assessing whether the loudly heralded model of lean production initiated by Toyota has become pervasive.The contributors focus on employment practices:… [detailed...]

After Many Springs: Regionalism, Modernism, and the Midwest

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: After Many Springs is the title of a Thomas Hart Benton painting that evokes nostalgia for a fertile, creative time gone by. This bold new book––taking the name of this work by Benton––examines the intersections between Regionalist and Modernist paintings, photography, and film during the Great Depression, a period when the two approaches to art making were perhaps at their zenith. It is commonly believed that Regionalist artists Benton, John Steuart Curry, and Grant Wood reacted to the economic and social devastation of their era by harking back in tranquil bucolic paintings to a departed utopia. However, this volume compares their work to that of photographers such as Dorothea Lange and Ben Shahn and filmmakers such as Josef von Sternberg—all of whom documented the desolation of the Depression—and finds surprising commonalities. The book also notes intriguing connections between Regionalist artists and Modernists Jackson Pollock and Philip Guston, countering prevailing assumptions… [detailed...]

After Modern Art, 1945-2000 (Oxford History of Art)

2000 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Contemporary art can be baffling and beautiful, provocative and disturbing. This pioneering book presents a new look at the controversial period between 1945 and 2000, when art and its traditional forms were called into question. It focuses on the relationship between American and European art, and challenges previously held views about the origins of some of the most innovative ideas in art of this time.

After Neoliberalism : What Next for Latin America? (Development and Inequality in the Market Economy)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: In the past twenty years, economic policy in Latin America has veered toward neoliberalism, or market friendliness. State interventions in the economy were cut back in many areas, in the form of reductions in fiscal deficits, privatization of publicenterprises, reductions of import quotas and tariffs and export subsidies, removal of barriers to foreign capital flow, and increased faith in the private sector and market processes. This book offers an intellectual and historical background for these policy choices, specifically in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru. The contributors detail the structural reform and economic policies in Latin America and discuss the various and often contradictory effects neoliberalism,such as fluctuating growth rates and saving-investment balances, worsened corruption, growth of exports, falling wages, and rising unemployment. In addition, each case study forecasts the effects of neoliberal policies on future growth… [detailed...]

After Notman/D`Aprs Notman: Montreal Views : A Century Apart/Regards Sur Montreal : UN Siecle Plus Tard

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionA beautifully photographed tour through time. During the last half of the 19th century, photographer William Notman captured stunning images of Montreal, one of North America`s oldest and most beautiful cities. Just before the turn of the 21st century, photographer Andrzej Maciejewski retraced Notman`s steps and meticulously recaptured the same views of Montreal. Not satisfied to merely re-photograph the same buildings or streets, Maciejewski methodically determined the month and time of day the originals were taken. As a result, the photographs are accurate right down to the shadows. The rewards of patience and diligence can be found in After Notman, a stunning collection of images that illustrate the dynamic relationship between the past and the present. The book also features essays by distinguished writers that explain Notman`s original images and the changes that have occurred in photography and to Montreal since. After Notman belongs on the… [detailed...]

After O`Connor: Stories from Contemporary Georgia

2003 y.

Description: Book DescriptionGeorgia has produced some of the major figures of modern literature, including Carson McCullers, Erskine Caldwell and, most notably, Flannery O`Connor. While such writers are firmly established in American literary history, all too few readers are aware of how the state`s tradition of literary excellence persists in the present day. The thirty stories in After O`Connor were written during the past fifteen years by authors who were born in Georgia or spent a significant part of their lives and careers in this state. Embracing the social, cultural, and ethnic variety in today`s Georgia, After O`Connor both advances and helps redefine the great southern storytelling tradition. [detailed...]

After Raymond Williams: Cultural Materialism and the Break-Up of Britain (University of Wales Press - Writing Wales in English)

Publisher: —
Description: Raymond Williams (1921–88) was a working-class Welsh writer, novelist, and Marxist critic, as well as an influential figure in the New Left and one of the founders of modern day cultural studies and cultural materialism. Williams long argued that literary texts do not simply reflect the happenings of society, instead, the texts actually can cause change as material parts of society. In this volume Williams’s theory is applied to a series of readings of texts produced in the years since his death, including works by A. S. Byatt, Salman Rushdie, and Kazuo Ishiguro, as the book explores the contributions of contemporary writers to the devolution and critique of the unitary British state. [detailed...]

After Whistler: The Artist and His Influence on American Painting

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionJames McNeill Whistler (1834-1903) left the United States for Europe at the age of twenty-one, never to return, and his style developed independently of American art currents. Nonetheless, he left an indelible mark on the art of his native land, for his modernist aesthetic influenced the work of a generation of American painters. This beautifully illustrated book-published to commemorate the centenary of the artist`s death-addresses Whistler`s extraordinary legacy and establishes his pivotal place in the history of American art. After Whistler juxtaposes fourteen of the artist`s most important works with an array of pictures by thirty-eight other American painters-including Henry Ossawa Tanner, William Merritt Chase, and John Singer Sargent-to demonstrate how Whistler`s American contemporaries were affected by his techniques, color palette, compositions, and subject matter. The introduction to the book provides an overview of Whistler`s association with American… [detailed...]
