Catherine P. Mulder
Unions and Class Transformation (New Political Economy)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: How can unions move from a defensive strategy to one of class transformation? Mulder demonstrates how the current union strategies of class blindness lead to weak and often unintended results. Unions, she argues, do not use their collective power for class transformation and union commentators/critics do not theorize about unions as possible agents for such class transformations. Using the case study of the Broadway musicians` union, Mulder shows how unions can facilitate a class transformation that increases workers` control over their working conditions and enables them to make the changes needed to improve their lives. This innovative and needed study will be of interest to labor economists, scholars of class and labor, and those interested in the plight of unions and the potential they still hold for social and economic transformations.

Unions, Immigration, And Internationalization: New Challenges and Changing Coalitions in the United States and France

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Labor unions in France and the U.S. opposed certain restrictionist immigration policy measures in the late twentieth century, whereas they had pressured for restrictionism in the early twentieth century. Leah Haus asks why unions changed coalitions. Hausargues that one needs to focus on the challenges of internationalization to explain this change. Many union leaders consider economic internationalization and/or the internationalization of human rights as undermining the effectiveness and/or desirability of certain restrictionist measures. At the same time, many union leaders see support for certain non-restrictionist measures as a way to facilitate organizing immigrants, which is an alternative strategy for improving wages and work conditions.

2006 y.
Publisher: Collins Design
Description: Do our surroundings really make a difference in how we feel? In the harmony with which we conduct our daily lives? In our exploration of our personal, professional and spiritual paths? The answer, as shown in The Art of Dramatic Living: Personalizing the Home through Good Design, is a resounding `Yes!` Form, color, texture, light, proportion and material - as well as cleanliness and order - are powerful tools for expressing who we really are. In these pages, Dr. Carol Soucek King visits more than thirty residences around the world in which good design echoes the identity of those who live there. A house in Israel connects an active family with their cherished land and the sea beyond. A rustic lodge/camp dwelling in Texas celebrates its owners` retreat from urban life to a setting amid oak trees, creeks and hills.

Uniquely Felt

2007 y.
Publisher: Storey Publishing, LLC
Description: Feltmaking is the magical transformation of a loose pile of wool fi bers into a durable, alluring nonwoven fabric. An ancient process that continues to work its wonder on modern artisans and crafters, feltmaking produces a flannel-like fabric with a tactile appeal like nothing else. How is this fabric alchemy accomplished? The feltmaker adds a little soap and water to the wool, presses the fibers until they tangle together and hold the shape of cloth, and then vigorously works, or fulls, the cloth until it shrinks and strengthens to the desired shape. In Uniquely Felt, Christine White, a professional teacher and feltmaker, gathers her considerable knowledge of the craft to write the comprehensive guide to all things felt. She describes the equipment, explores concepts and theories of felting, and thoroughly covers all felting techniques, including traditional, needle, three-dimensional seamless, nuno, cobweb, carved, and Beede ball. And then there… [detailed...]

Ian Bogost
Unit Operations: An Approach to Videogame Criticism

2008 y.
Publisher: The MIT Press
Description: In `Unit Operations`, Ian Bogost argues that similar principles underlie both literary theory and computation, proposing a literary-technical theory that can be used to analyze particular videogames. Moreover, this approach can be applied beyond videogames: Bogost suggests that any medium - from videogames to poetry, literature, cinema, or art - can be read as a configurative system of discrete, interlocking units of meaning, and he illustrates this method of analysis with examples from all these fields. The marriage of literary theory and information technology, he argues, will help humanists take technology more seriously and hep technologists better understand software and videogames as cultural artifacts. This approach is especially useful for the comparative analysis of digital and nondigital artifacts and allows scholars from other fields who are interested in studying videogames to avoid the esoteric isolation of `game studies.` The richness of Bogost`s comparative… [detailed...]

United 93: The Shooting Script

Description: From the director of The Bourne Supremacy and Bloody Sunday—the only book on the making of the landmark film that re-creates in real time the events on 9/11 involving the passengers, crew, and flight controllers before and during the crash of United Flight 93. At what point is it okay to put such a painful time on the screen? According to Greengrass—informed with interviews from more than 100 family members and friends of the fallen passengers and crew—the right time is when the families say `yes,` which they all did. `Forty ordinary people had thirty minutes to confront the reality of the way that we`re living now, decide on the best course of action and act…they were the first people to inhabit the post-9/11 world,` writes Greengrass in the treatment he wrote explaining why and how he wanted to make this movie. This important book contains Greengrass`s treatment, the 85-page script used by the cast and crew as they filmed many of the sequences, Michael… [detailed...]

United Apart: Gender and the Rise of Craft Unionism

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: In the late nineteenth century, most jobs were strictly segregated by sex. And yet, despite their separation at work, male and female employees regularly banded together when they or their unions considered striking. In her groundbreaking book, Ileen A. DeVault explores how gender helped to shape the outcome of job actions?and how gender bias became central to unionism in America. Covering the period from the formation of the American Federation of Labor in 1886 to the establishment of the Women`s Trade Union League in 1903, DeVault analyzes forty strikes from across the nation in the tobacco, textile, clothing, and boot and shoe industries. She draws extensively on her research in local newspapers as she traces the daily encounters among male and female coworkers in workplaces, homes, and union halls. Jobs considered appropriate for men and those for women were, she finds, sufficiently interdependent that the success of the action depended on both sexes cooperating. At the… [detailed...]

United Artists, Volume 2, 1951-1978: The Company That Changed the Film Industry

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In this second volume of Tino Balio’s history of United Artists, he examines the turnaround of the company in the hands of Arthur Krim and Robert Benjamin in the 1950s, when United Artists devised a successful strategy based on the financing and distribution of independent production that transformed the company into an industry leader.
