Publisher: —
Description: The American workplace continues to undergo profound changes as international competition intensifies. Workplace transformations and the restructuring of many of the nation`s businesses are dramatically impacting the composition of the workforce. At the same time, the number of younger, entry-level workers is decreasing and the older workforce is increasing. People ages 55 and older are projected to be nearly 30 percent of the U.S. working population by 2005 and almost 40 percent by 2020. The aging of the labor force is creating both opportunities and challenges for the U.S. economy. Older workers have the knowledge, the experience, and a disciplined work ethic that can help the nation maintain its competitive edge. However, older workers have been hardest hit by recent corporate restructuring. This timely book examines these far-reaching trends and considers their implications for older workers and the nation. It takes an innovative look at ways that U.S. businesses can… [detailed...]

Viking Clothing

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Contrary to popular myth, the Vikings had a reputation for neatness and their fashions were copied far beyond the realms of Scandinavia. Those who could afford to displayed a love of fine clothes made from silks, from lightweight worsteds in subtly woven twills, and from the finest of linens. This accessible new book is the first to tackle the question of what the Vikings wore, drawing on evidence from art and archaeology, literature, and linguistics to arrive at a fresh understanding of the nature of Viking clothing, covering rich and poor, men and women across Scandinavia. It includes an overview of Viking textiles and dyeing, and an exploration of cloth production and clothing in the context of Viking society as a whole, as well as a detailed consideration of both male and female outfits and a new interpretation of the suspended dress.

Vikings in the Isle of Man

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The Isle of Man provides a microcosm of Viking settlement in the West. Set in the northern part of the Irish Sea, it was a major player in the economic and political life of this Norse region from the beginning of the tenth century until the end of the Scandinavian overlordship of the Hebrides and Man in the middle of the thirteenth century. This book presents, for the first time, for both specialist and general reader, a major survey of the Island in the period from the early tenth century to the middle of the eleventh century. The rich archaeological material pagan grave-goods, silver-treasures, headland fortifications, farm-sites, inscribed and carved Christian memorial stones and the wealth of evidence provided by runic inscriptions, place-names and institutions, provide a unique picture of a vibrant society striving to be ever more politically and economically powerful. The story tells of the gradual change from paganism to Christianity and of the absorption of a native… [detailed...]

The shots remain real but at the same time are posed, the subjects are prostitutes but, seen here, they are models. `His (Schneider`s) pictures, taken in a fragment of a second, are frozen stories.

Luigino Bruni
Vilfredo Pareto and the Birth of Modern Microeconomics

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: There has been a recent resurgence of interest in the work of Vilfredo Pareto, one of the founders of modern economics. This book reconstructs the genesis and significance of Pareto?s theory of choice which is Pareto?s greatest contribution to economic science and which was used by John Hicks, among others, to develop microeconomics. Hicks, Allen, Samuelson and others acknowledged Pareto as the father of the new ordinalist microeconomics but at the same time, portrayed him as confused and contradictory, caught between the old and new paradigms. Luigino Bruni argues that Pareto?s revolution in choice theory is better understood in the context of his own philosophical framework. This framework is revealed by reconstructing his dialogueswith economists (Pantaleoni) and philosophers (Vailati and Croce), and by exploring Pareto?s economic theory in the light of his philosophy of science. In addition, Luigino Bruni argues that Pareto?s contribution was… [detailed...]

Vilhjalmur Stefansson: Arctic Adventurer

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Born in Manitoba of Icelandic parents, Vilhjalmur Stefansson (1879–1962) became one of Canada`s most famous and controversial Arctic explorers. After graduate studies in anthropology at Harvard University, Stefansson lived with and studied Inuit in the Mackenzie River Delta in the Northwest Territories in the winter of 1906–07. In two subsequent expeditions he completed a major anthropological survey of the Central and Western Arctic coasts and islands of North America, located and lived with the Copper Inuit, a previously unknown group of aboriginal people, and discovered the world’s last major land masses. During his third and final great Arctic expedition from 1913 to 1918, some of Stefansson`s men perished tragically, an outcome that severely damaged his reputation. Nevertheless, the hardy explorer contributed immensely to knowledge about the Far North, particularly in his championing of the `Friendly Arctic.` Part scientist, part showman, Vilhjalmur Stefansson was truly unique… [detailed...]

John Saladino
Villa (+ DVD-ROM)

2009 y.
Publisher: Frances Lincoln
Description: John Saladino`s powerful new book is nothing less than a master class in interior and garden design by one of the world`s most distinguished architectural designers. Focusing on a romantic stone ruin of a house in the California hills overlooking over the Pacific, it shows how his principles and passions guided him through the five-year process of re-fashioning it into his dream house. With the aid of architectural drawings, and photographs of the house as it was in the 1930s, as it looked when he first bought it, during the rebuilding process, and today, John Saladino traces the work involved, and explains the reasons for his decisions. A consummate craftsman with the soul of an artist, John Saladino has always been as acutely concerned with practicalities as he is with aesthetics: no drain, air vent, or light switch passes his attention. The heart of the book is a superbly illustrated tour through the house. Here he proves that he practices what he has preached for more… [detailed...]

Villa: Soldier of the Mexican Revolution (Brassey`s Military Profiles)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionStarting with twenty-eight followers, Francisco Pancho Villa rose out of banditry to become a dynamic strategist who mastered the tactical use of a diverse array of weapons, including modern railroads and cavalry, to contest control of Mexico. In his early days as a brigand, the peasantry idolized him because he often gave them the largesse of his raids on the wealthy haciendas. His military career began in 1910 during the Mexican Revolution, and by the time of his defeat at the Battle ofCelaya in 1915 he commanded 15,000 horsemen. Villa could be a generous patron to his loyal followers but a terrifying enemy. He believed that those whom he defeated earned the `privilege` of being executed by his own hand. During the bloodiest months of the Mexican Revolution, he even contended for control of the nation. He could not be intimidated by anyone, including the U.S. Army?s Punitive Expedition led by Gen. John J. Pershing, who was sent to capture Villa after his raids… [detailed...]

Village Voices: French Country Life

1999 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In modern France, as in centuries past, village life revolves around the school, post office, shops and railway station, the centres where people meet to exchange news and to gossip. This is a visual distillation of village life in France today, where the traditions live on in the cafe that doubles as a charcuterie or in the small hotel (awarded no stars in the guide books) that provides for wedding receptions. We see the young adults who keep the village way of life viable and thriving. The text allows them to speak to use in their own words: the boulangere, who serves her many customers from a modern mobile bakery, the gendarme, who keeps a photograph of his wife and children inside his cap, and the incumbent mayor standing proudly in her office beside the bust of Marianne, the symbol of the French Republic.

Village on the Edge: Changing Times in Papua New Guinea

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Kragur village lies on the rugged north shore of Kairiru, a steep volcanic island just off the north coast of Papua New Guinea. In 1998 the village looked much as it had some twenty-two years earlier when author Michael French Smith first visited. But hesoon found that changing circumstances were shaking things up. Village on the Edge weaves together the story of Kragur villagers` struggle to find their own path toward the future with the story of Papua New Guinea`s travails in the post-independence era. Smith writes of his own experiences as well, living and working in Papua New Guinea and trying to understand the complexities of an unfamiliar way of life. To tell all these stories, he delves into ghosts, magic, myths, ancestors, bookkeeping, tourism, the World Bank, the Holy Spirit, and the meaning of progress and development. Village on the Edge draws on the insights of cultural anthropology but is written for anyone interested in Papua New Guinea. `In Village… [detailed...]

Villages

2005 y.
Publisher: Ballantine Books
Description: John Updike`s twenty-first novel, a bildungsroman, follows its hero, Owen Mackenzie, from his birth in the semi-rural Pennsylvania town of Willow to his retirement in the rather geriatric community of Haskells Crossing, Massachusetts. In between these two settlements comes Middle Falls, Connecticut, where Owen, an early computer programmer, founds with a partner, Ed Mervine, the successful firm of E-O Data, which is housed in an old gun factory on the Chunkaunkabaug River. Owen`s education (Bildung) is not merely technical but liberal, as the humanity of his three villages, especially that of their female citizens, works to disengage him from his youthful innocence. As a child he early felt an abyss of calamity beneath the sunny surface quotidian, yet also had a dreamlike sense of leading a charmed existence. The women of his life, including his wives, Phyllis and Julia, shed what light they can. At one juncture he reflects, `How lovely she is, naked in the dark! How little men… [detailed...]
