Changing Work Relationships in Industrialized Economies (Advances in Organization Studies)
Manufacturer: John Benjamins Publishing Co ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1556197446 |
Book Description
This book examines changing work relationships in industrialized economies within the context of economic restructuring and demographic variables. The goal of this book is to examine experiences of industrialized economies in dealing with changing work relationships and discuss policy implications of creating such work relationships. The thesis of the book is that non-standard employment forms in restructuring economies affected all workers, but particularly females and the youth. Other demographic variables of education level, race/ethnicity/immigrant status, ability, and economic class were also underlying forces in the construction and arrangements of non-standard work. Research shows both positive and negative effects of changing work relationships on workers, though there is no conclusive result whether one or the other affect is stronger. The discussion in this book pays attention to this debate and sheds light on it. This book differs from others in its comprehensiveness of the coverage of work relationships, referring to part-time, temporary/ casual, telework and self-employment without employees; in its examination of a variety of variables including gender, age, race/ethnicity/immigrant status, ability, education level, and economic class; in the analysis of the topic in relation with the economic restructuring; and in its initiative in collaboration of researchers from a variety of backgrounds and regions of the world that have expertise on changing work relationships. Contributions by: I.U. Zeytinoglu and J.K. Muteshi; S. Nollen; D.G. Gallagher; A. Templer, M. Armstrong-Stassen, K. Devine and N. Solomon; L. Delsen; D. Meulders and R. Plasman; J. Druker; M. Quinlan and C. Mayhew; L. Hinton, J. Moruz and C. Mumford; C. Strby Jensen; H. Bielenski and E. Khler.

ASIN: 0387279598 |
Book Description
The analysis of integrated and cointegrated time series can be considered as the main methodology employed in applied econometrics. This book not only introduces readers to this topic but also enables them to conduct the various unit root tests and cointegration methods by utilizing the free statistical programming environment R. The book encompasses seasonal unit roots, fractional integration, coping with structural breaks, and inference in co-integrated vector autoregressive models. The book is enriched by numerous programming examples to artificial and real data so that it is suitable as a supplementary text for computer lab classes.
Bernhard Pfaff studied economics at the universities of Göttingen, Germany; Davis, California; and Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany. He obtained a diploma and a doctorate degree at the economics department of the last one where he was employed as a research and teaching assistant. He has worked for many years as economist and quantitative analyst in research departments of financial institutions. Bernhard Pfaff is the author and maintainer of the contributed R package "urca".
From the reviews:
"All in all, it is a book by which the usage of R for analyzing time series with the mentioned tools will surely be inhanced. It is hoped that the series expands further with similar well done texts." Allgemeines Statistisches Archive, vol. 90, No. 3, pgs 486-487

John Dryden: Tercentenary Essays
Manufacturer: Oxford University Press, USA ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0198186444 |
Book Description
This volume is designed to celebrate and re-assess the work of John Dryden (1631-1700) in the tercentenary year of his death. It assembles specially-commissioned essays by an international team of scholars who address Dryden's political writing, drama, and translations, his literary collaborations, contemporary reputation, and posthumous reception. Much of Dryden's work was written in response to contemporary events and issues, and several of the essays in this volume discuss the personal and public circumstances in which his works were composed and received, exploring his responses to popular politics, and his relations with Congreve, Milton, Purcell, and Shadwell. But Dryden's intellectual and imaginative world was also shaped by the work of his literary predecessors, and so the collection charts his creative engagement with classical poetry, especially Homer and Virgil. Other essays attend to his poetic self-representation, his philosophical vision, and the problem of editing Dryden's poetry for a modern readership. The collection as a whole presents him as a writer not only for an age, but for all time.

Rum, Romanism, and Rebellion: The Making of a President, 1884
Mark Wahlgren Summers Manufacturer: The University of North Carolina Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0807848492 Release Date: 2000-03-01 |
Book Description
The presidential election of 1884, in which Grover Cleveland ended the Democrats' twenty-four-year presidential drought by defeating Republican challenger James G. Blaine, was one of the gaudiest in American history, remembered today less for its political significance than for the mudslinging and slander that characterized the campaign. But a closer look at the infamous election reveals far more complexity than previous stereotypes allowed, argues Mark Summers. Behind all the mud and malarkey, he says, lay a world of issues and consequences.Summers suggests that both Democrats and Republicans sensed a political system breaking apart, or perhaps a new political order forming, as voters began to drift away from voting by party affiliation toward voting according to a candidate's stand on specific issues. Mudslinging, then, was done not for public entertainment but to tear away or confirm votes that seemed in doubt. Uncovering the issues that really powered the election and stripping away the myths that still surround it, Summers uses the election of 1884 to challenge many of our preconceptions about Gilded Age politics.

Phase Change: The Computer Revolution in Science and Mathematics (Computer Sciences)
Douglas S. Robertson Manufacturer: Oxford University Press, USA ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items: ASIN: 0195157486 |
Book Description
Robertson's earlier work, The New Renaissance projected the likely future impact of computers in changing our culture. Phase Change builds on and deepens his assessment of the role of the computer as a tool driving profound change by examining the role of computers in changing the face of the sciences and mathematics. He shows that paradigm shifts in understanding in science have generally been triggered by the availability of new tools, allowing the investigator a new way of seeing into questions that had not earlier been amenable to scientific probing.Customer Reviews:
New ideas on the history of science.......2004-06-17
Robertson's great insight in this book is that the telescope is only one example of this phenomenon in the history of science.
Read this book.......2003-05-29
Even if you are not convinced by his
arguments, the book is enormously interesting for the
history and overview it gives of mathematics,
astronomy, physics, biology, and other sciences. I
was very impressed that one person could grasp the
essential features of so many different fields. In
addition, he expresses the ideas and history so well
that I found it enormously interesting, even in the
fields I am already familiar with.
Chapter 8 is more controversial, and although
I did not agree with everything he says, I was
fascinated to read his views. I found my mind being
stretched in enjoyable ways.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who has
even the slightest interest in science, and also to
anyone who is interested in learning more about the
computer revolution.
