In Post-Work; Stanley Aronowitz and Jonathan Cutler have collected essays from a variety of scholars to discuss the dreary future of work. The introduction; The Post-Work Manifesto;; provides the framework for a radical reappraisal of work and suggests an alternative organization of labor. The provocative essays that follow focus on specific issues that are key to our reconceptualization of the notion and practice of work; with coverage of the fight for shorter hours; the relationship between school and work; and the role of welfare; among others. Armed with an interdisciplinary approach; Post-Work looks beyond the rancorous debates around welfare politics and lays out the real sources of anxiety in the modern workplace. The result is an offering of hope for the future--an alternative path for a cybernation; where the possibility of less work for a better standard of living is possible.

Poor Execution of Boston Globes Ted Kennedy: Scenes from an Epic LIfeBy Nancy Scott JonesI am returning this book. The production quality of the book is poor. The cutlines are weak with no real explaination and the photography is average with poor quality paper.Dried glue was oozing where paper had been glued to the back cover.15 of 15 people found the following review helpful. Ups and downs and ups of a great manBy Jean E. PouliotIt is highly unfashionable in my hometown of Manchester; NH to express anything but bitter contempt for Teddy Kennedy. But just a few miles south of there; in the rolling hills of Massachusetts where I now make my home; people have come to different conclusions about the man. This mostly-pictorial biography of Senator Ted Kennedy by the past and present staff of the Bsotoin Globe; hits all the right notes. His boyhood with Papa Joe; the deaths of siblings and family; the tragedy of Chappaquiddick (40 years ago this weekend); his marital wobbliness; medical scares with son Pat; his run for the presidency in 1980 and his gargantuan achievements (ADA; HIPAA; COBRA; AmeriCorps) as a Massachusetts Senator for nearly 50 years. The photos capture Teds charm and grit amidst the numerous body blows he has absorbed over the years. He has persevered through more adversity (sometimes self-inflicted) than the average hundred people and still emerged as a champion of the poor and downtrodden. The writing is honest; even if it sometimes glosses over the tough spots; like wife Joans drinking and emotional issues. Those looking for an in-depth look at the man will have to look elsewhere.Congratulations Ted; on a marvelous life; and with Gods help; a few more years to enjoy your achievements.
