Book Description

Ideological and cultural factors do not define or influence the way labor relations are conducted in China's workplace, as many suppose they do. Oakley shows that the impact of the global market has significantly altered the way labor relations are actually practiced in China, which follows what she calls a global market paradigm. Nevertheless, Maoism and Confucianism continue to influence labor relations in China, and the ideological and cultural remnants still to be found could affect China's relations with other nations for years to come. Instead of taking a macro-level, industrial-relations approach common to other studies of Chinese labor, Oakley provides an in-depth look at the problems emerging on the shop floor, in the wake of economic reform. She provides translations of actual case histories, each of which details the causes of disputes, the various methods that were found to resolve them, and their eventual outcomes. At a broader level of analysis, her book tends to support convergence theories, of which globalization is the latest, proving that there are other features in contemporary market labor relations that have emerged in China in direct response to the demands of global competition. The result is a superbly detailed examination of a topic too little covered and seldom well understood. Oakley begins by considering the features of market labor relations and the emergence of a globalization-friendly style, in both Western and Asian economics. She continues with an analysis of the ideological and cultural dimensions of the relationship between managers and managed. In the next three chapters, she discusses the causes, resolution methods, and labor dispute outcomes. In each case she refers to the evidence of market, Maoist, and Confucian influences. The conclusion she draws is that while Confucian ideas and traces of Maoism continue to have an impact on the development and resolution of labor disputes in post-reform China overall, Chinese labor relations conform to the demands of the global, not the provincial, marketplace.

Books from Blogs.......2007-03-30

Sex books from blogs are the thing of the future. As writers reveal their secrets and put them on the web, it is inevitable that the best of them are turned into books. The two best I've read so far are this one and Abby Lee's Diary of a Sex Fiend: Girl with a One Track Mind. Both are English. Both are sexy. Both are "stimulating" and honest.

Enjoyable, fun, interesting and honest.......2007-03-02

Really one of the books I couldn't stop reading it. No pauses, a continuous 2 days reading. It was very interesting and attractive. Honest and straight, the writer has the ability to present the moment, the most interesting happening, the most notable thought. Initially I did know that it was from a blog. But even when I figured that out, I didn't regret with the book. It was very interesting and far more different from reading a blog from a computer screen. Highly recommended!

Clean and Dirty.......2007-01-04

Belle de Jour, the shockingly intimate adventures of a london call girl has, by all accounts, become a cult phenomenon. The blog-slash-diary of an educated woman who resorts to prostitution to pay her bills for want of a regular job in a tough job market is by all accounts shocking, scandalous, candid, honest, voyeristic, and human. Her hunger for sex leads her into an unlikely job role, after facing rejection upon rejection in the real world. In between the sheets she finds acceptance, at first from men, and then for herself, as she becomes comfortable in her own skin with what and who she has become. Explicit and triple x rated she transports us in graphic detail into the world of prostitution and sex, and perfectly illustrates how we as human beings have deteriorated over the centuries. Even in the oldest of professions, new trends are developing in the sexual revolution, as women and men exchange new roles in a modern world, and Belle takes us there for first hand look.
Living in a world that has learned not to show emotion, Belle too has become one of the masses; a numb body going about the motions of life, lacking feeling, lacking real passion and enthusiasm for life, all the while desperately wanting to return to the feeling of "feeling alive." (146) Belle is not familiar with crying, yet she cries....(149) realizing she is "not all that happy"....and despite the pursuit of money and materialism the resultant ephiphany is that her life has led to "nothing significant."
Belle is a girl in a woman's skin - the girl who had a political opinion at age 8 is still the same young innocent girl who is aching for a return to such innocence and unhurried purity of thought. As we see in the following exerpt, Belle craves a cupcake, and the level of excitement is infectious, until we remember it is actually the voice of a woman.
"...and i insisted that we get two fairy cakes from the bakery with pink icing and little plastic hearts pressed into the tops..."(151)
Belle is still the little girl voice hiding in the adult female body - and for all that we know of the dark world of prostitution she inhabits, it is surpising to see her relatively unaffected on the surface by it, seemingly still able to find pleasure and an innocence in the small things and friendships that surround her.
Yet her innocence with cupcakes juxtaposed with her cynical blog about valentines day combined with the explicit nature of her material leads me to believe that while this is an undoubtedly accurate, honest and extremely candid account of her life, there is still something missing. She leaves nothing out which satisfies the voyeur in us; yet something is missing in her fundamental character and her view and interpretation of her world as we realize this is not normal, she is not normal, and most people do not turn to prostitution after a few bad job interviews.
I feel for the little girl trapped behind her sexual mask - she doesn't know how to tap into the identity of her real self without using her sexuality to play as a grown up in the real world. She is at once clean and dirty, eating to live, not living to eat.
The dislocation of the self is a rich topic, beautifully explored in painful detail in this unforgettable memoir. Five stars.

Amusing and clever.......2006-11-10

The book is a hoot, although (unsurprisingly) lots of it comes directly from the author's blog. Nevertheless, it's been passed around to all of my friends and we all enjoyed it. Great for dramatic readings at three in the morning, while drinking sangria. Don't be misled by the alarmingly trashy cover. The author is clever, well-read, and perhaps a bit of a nerd. She just happens to like sex, and get paid for it.

Same as the blog... but fun if you haven't read it........2006-10-07

Ditto another reader's observations on this. If you've been reading along with the blog these past few years - the book is an unfortunate duplicate. Or, I should say, 98% is duplicate, but unfortunately, that extra 2% is rather like the extra two minutes on some director's cut of a movie. Doesn't change the story, doesn't change the book itself, and you really could have kept it out - but guess that's what I get for not looking closely before I bought it.

Aside from that - if you haven't read the blog, the book is fun. Nothing earthshattering, just leisurely and running occasionally to voyeuristic.

Book Description

The future of the computer and communications industries is converging on mobile information appliances - phones, PDAs, laptops and other devices. The ARM is at the heart of this trend, leading the way in system-on-chip (SoC) development and becoming the processor core of choice for many embedded applications. System-on-chip technology is changing the way we use computers, but it also sets designers the very challenging problem of getting a complex SoC design right first time. ARM System-on-Chip Architecture introduces the concepts and methodologies employed in designing a system-on-chip based around a microprocessor core, and in designing the core itself. Extensive illustrations, based on the ARM, give practical substance to the design principles set out in the book, reinforcing the reader's understanding of how and why SoCs and microprocessors are designed as they are.

ARM System-on-Chip Architecture: · presents and discusses the major issues of system-on-chip design, including memory hierarchy, caches, memory management, on-chip buses, on-chip debug and production test · provides an overview of the ARM processor family, enabling the reader to decide which ARM is best for the job in hand · describes the ARM and Thumb programming models, enabling the designer to begin to develop applications · covers all the latest ARM products and developments, including StrongARM, the ARM9 and ARM10 series of cores, and the ARM-based SoC components at the heart of Ericsson's Bluetooth technology, the Psion Series 5 PDA and Samsung's SGH2400 GSM handset · includes details on the AMULET asynchronous ARM cores and the AMULET3H asynchronous SoC subsystem

ARM System-on-Chip Architecture is an essential handbook for system-on-chip designers using ARM processor cores and engineers working with the ARM. It can also be used as a course text for undergraduate and masters students of computer science, computer engineering and electrical engineering.

GOOD book to have.......2005-10-14

This is a really good book to have ! Real stuff !

An exceptional book.......2004-03-03

This book is very easy to read, but it also provides surprisingly quite detailed information that is sufficient to understand ARM chips' design and architecture. The book is almost self-contained although a little background in computer organization/architecture is helpful (but not necessary).

Excellent introduction to the ARM.......2002-05-09

This is an excellent introductory book for the budding ARM programmer. I bought it because I am trying to learn more about programming for the GameBoy Advance, but that is only one of the many different devices that use the ARM.

For those who are scared by assembly language and the low-level details, this book is a good way to learn without being tossed into the fire.

If you already consider yourself an assembly wizz on another CPU, this book will give you a lot of the details that you might miss otherwise. For example, while the ARM can be coded for in a way similar to the popular x86 line, doing so can lead to very poor code.

The ARM chip is also RISC based, and in the past, RISC meant programmer unfriendly. This book shows you the insides of the most programmer friendly RISC chip you'll ever find.

I say that if you have any interest in programming for an ARM device (and believe me, there are plenty to program for), this should be on your shelf, right next to the documentation from the ARM web site.

perfect introductory book.......2001-01-22

I am trying to understand the eCos (embeddable Configurable OS by Red Hat) source code for the Cirruslogic edb7212 development board and this book was the perfect book to read. I'm slowly making headway into the code but without this book, it would have been much slower and much more painful. This book gave me a very good understanding of embedded systems - not just the processor but all the components in an embedded system.

One pleasant surprise was how few mistakes were in the book. I really grinded through the text and found very few mistakes.

An outstanding collection of ARM knowledge!.......2000-09-10

This book is an excellent overall compendium for the ARM processor core. This book is a must for anyone doing embedded design work that has never worked with an ARM core previously. Steve Furber presents the information in a very readable format, but technical enough to capture the important details. The book covers the basic design decisions that went into the ARM originally, the entire ARM family, and then goes on to explain how ARM cores get built into ASICs, and the tools and features of the ARM that make it one of the most powerful embedded cores in the biz.

Other topics include: ARM architecture, complete assembly language listing with explanations and bit encodings, organizational considerations like the ARM 3 and 5 stage instruction pipe-lines, the Thumb instruction set (ARM's answer to CISC code density advantage), peripheral memory and on-board cache considerations (like tuning the system clock to your RAM speed for optimal performance), and others. The book is worth every penny!

Excellent history of the Sephardic Jews.......2003-10-09

Because most of the Jews in the USA today are Ashkenazim (descended from the Jews of Eastern Europe), I knew very little about the Sephardic Jews until I read this book many years ago. Since then, I have learned that the FIRST Jews to arrive in the Americas were Sephardic, many of them fleeing the Spanish Inquisition.

"The Road from Babylon" traces the history of the Sephardim from the Babylonian Captivity (hence the title) to the present day (or at least to 1985, when this book was published.) According to the text, "Sephardic" orignally referred to the Jews who fled Spain in 1492, but is now applied to "Jews whose ancestors lived in the Balkans, Asia Minor, North Africa, and all round the Mediterranean in the Near and Middle East." (P.1) We should also note that the majority of Jews in Israel today are Sephardim, descended from Jews who fled persecution in the Arab countries after Israel was founded in 1948. (121,000 left Iraq in 1951 -- see p. 231.)

In terms of format, the book is well-written and researched, and includes two sections of B&W photos, showing Sephardic communities, synagogues, and traditional dress down through the centuries.
