Voices from the Edge: Narratives about the Americans with Disabilities Act
ASIN: 0415945348 |
Book Description
Bodies in Revolt argues that the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) could humanize capitalism by turning employers into care-givers, creating an ethic of care in the workplace. Unlike other feminists, Ruth O'Brien bases her ethics not on benevolence, but rather on self-preservation. She relies on Deleuze and Guattari's interpretation of Spinoza and Foucault's conception of corporeal resistance to show how a workplace ethic that is neither communitarian nor individualistic can be based upon the rallying cry "one for all and all for one."
O'Brien contends that, to instigate such a revolt, disability must be viewed as an integral part of life, an ever-evolving, indeed, almost universal aspect of the human condition. This recognition transforms the ADA from a narrow civil rights law into the most revolutionary labor/civil rights law that the United States has ever seen. Its employment provisions would do nothing less than undercut capitalism by making employers provide reasonable accommodations on the basis of human needs instead of profits. Accommodating one person sets precedents for all. Absent a divide between individual rights and collective action, persons with disabilities become Foucauldian agents of resistance or "bodies in revolt," undermining the standardization and dehumanization of the post-Fordist political economy.

Our Biblical Foundation.......2001-10-13
Great collection by 12 authors in this edited book. We must remember that "Biblical Truth provides the only foundation of a just society", and therefore just law.
Funny how the two negative reviews said the same thing on the same day, but "different" cities. Were they friends or just the same person?
Excellent book for reviewers who actually read the book.......2001-06-30
This book is an edited work, not written by the author as one reviewer mentions who claims to have read the book. The chapters cover important issues of the nature, function, history, and practice of law and the Constitution. Certainly not pieced together materials as one reviewer surmised. The editor and a number of distinguished legal scholars and theologians tackle important questions regarding the nature, history, function, and practice of law in American society as it regards Christianity's impact. A virtual whos who in evangelical circles.
The editor, a professor of law and a professor of theology, writes an essay on the duty of Christians to disobey the government at times. Thought provoking and well documented.

Excellent Sales Management resource.......2006-07-24
This book is the premise for an excellent training provided by the author's company, The Brooks Group. Our organization has employed this company to further develop our Sales Managers, and use this book for 'homework' assignments. Applying the recommendations in this book, we have already seen improvement in sales results as Sales Managers are given tried and true tools to manage their sales teams.
A waste of resources. Don't bother!.......2006-02-13
My gosh...I have to say I am surprised at the decent reviews for this book. I am in sales, and have been an editor in the past. Not only did this book cry out for a good editor (compare Myth 11 and Myth 20 in the first chapter for only the most egregious of examples), I felt that the "New" Science was full of basic-level material that was, in addition, 97% completely misguided. I was really surprised to see that the author has "expert" qualifications, because this book did NO justice to my expectations. What a *serious* disappointment after what was promised in the confident-sounding Preface.
I don't think there's much of value in this book at all. I don't think it offers much to sales managers either. If you have been hired as a sales manager, either you are WAY beyond what this offers already, or you shouldn't have been.
Do you need to buy this book to find out that good salespeople don't automatically make good managers? Do you need to be told that the blockbuster secret to sales management is "coaching" and *gasp* "TEACHING?" And oh gosh oh my, our salespeople have to get along with others in the company! No, REALLY?
Wowwww. Truths for the ages. I'll just stop here, because I have to go on and spend my time on more deserving pursuits.
Sorry...I am just dumbfounded that this volume ever got published at all, let alone received the rating it has here. There are FAR better books on sales out there. Eeesh.
A Must-Buy and Must-Study for Sales Management.......2005-11-17
I have been in sales and sales management for over a decade and managed a division of 150 people. Never have I found a single resource like this book by Mr. Brooks that so concisely provides every bit of wisdom a sales manager MUST have to be successful.
If you are in sales management OR IF YOU OWN A COMPANY, you simply must purchase this book, study it and implement every last word of it. Your staff will thank you, your clients will thank you, and your healthy bottom line will be more than enough reward.
More about the frame of selling than the picture.......2005-08-30
This book is not so much about the act of selling as understanding and setting the context for sales performance.
I've managed a force of 40 salespeople without prior experience as a salesperson. I didn't have the baggage of many myths (notable exception of people buy from people they like). It would have been great to have this this book. As it was, I didn't have answers, but knew enough to ask the right questions and was stubborn enough to drive past the rote asnwers.
This book is a validation of most of what we discovered in terms of managing sales people. It isn't brilliant, but it is very sound. Expect a lot of validation and some things that will be obvious after you see them.
We're in process of launching a CRM Sales Force Automation project. We're on track in terms of scope - delivering simplicity - but we're making some modifications to the qualification guidelines and the change readiness assessment based on what was in the book. Our bias in qualification was toward deal size. We'll be providing much better balance with decision making authority, time frame for purchase, urgency to resolve the need, and other factors (see Myth 5 - create a need and people will buy).
Sales performance is always in a context. We had 4 principles - speed and simplicity, the job of sales people is to sell, make decisions as close to the action as possible and we win as a team. We're adding more on accountability. This book helps avoid errors of omission because it is broad in scope.
Excellent scientific approach to sales management.......2005-01-20
This book is a thorough treatise on how to create an environment for salespeople in a company.
Most companies do not have a systematic approach to hiring, training and retaining salespeople.
This book provides an approach that is tested to help sales managers implement this approach.

Book Description
This book tells the story of Australia’s integration into the international economy. It traces the Australian economy from Federation to its inevitable downturn in the 1970s and assesses the current state of play as Australia struggles under the pressures of economic globalisation. Bob Catley argues that the insistent protection of domestic commodity industries has left Australia tied to slow growth industries at the expense of expanding the manufactured goods and services industries which now make up the bulk of world trade. Topics include the inadequacies of the dirigiste dual economy, the necessary rise of economic rationalism, demographic and geographic repercussions of globalisation, and the implications for Australian international relations of the emerging power of the Asia-Pacific region. Catley argues that structural changes are still required to ensure a competitive Australian economy in the world market.

Book Description
Recorded history is a finely-woven magic fabric of intricate lies about events predating the sixteenth century. There is not a single piece of evidence that can be reliably and independently traced back earlier than the eleventh century. This book details events that are substantiated by hard facts and logic, and validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources.

Calculations are only as good as your numbers.......2007-08-03
Yes, we can all agree that mainstream history is nearly 100% BS due to politics, economics, ego, problems with dating techniques, and various conspiracies. Agreed. But, I've been researching the distinct possibility that human history (in terms of civilizations) are much more ancient than we've been told, so coming across this book was very interesting to me. I wondered how Fomenko could be wrong (if at all) because he is very persuasive in his presentations. Then it dawned on me. If at previous times in prehistory, due to the various catastrophies that are well documented (comets, asteroids, planetary disruptions, plasma discharge, pole reversals, etc) the Earth was in a different position in relation to the sun, different tilt on its axis, different orbit, different rotation (in terms of velocity and DIRECTION), and the continents were in different positions, then would this not cause the ancients to see the sky (constellations) differently? In other words, is Fomenko making erronious assumptions about the physics of the Earth in pre-history, which then corrupt his data with regards to dating the relevant astrology? The last event to seriously disrupt our planet occured roughly 3500 years ago, according to other good researchers, so is it possible Fomenko has been confused by this? The vastly different physics of our planet in the not so distant past may explain this confusion, which is not to say the "mainstream" version of history is correct; on the contrary. I am not an expert in these fields, but wanted to see if this idea could spark discussion.
Pants on fire?.......2007-07-19
Will people ever read before spamming? Yes, Jesuits could not rewrite world history alone, they had help. Anyway, Dr Prof Acad A.Fomenko does not point to jesuits as the driving force of world wide history manipulation in published volumes 1,2,3;, actually he barely mentions the poor devils. Check it with 'Search inside' feature, please. China is rarely mentioned either, in fact, Dr Fomenko is completely eurocentric. Right, his theory contradicts all mainstream schools of history, because in their actual state they are all built on blatantly erroneus chronology. You don't need a mysterious cabal (conspiracy) to falsify history, the falsification is its modus operandi. It is inherent to history(ians) to falsify (distort) events, as it is inherent to humans to boast as it is inherent to power (authority) to legimize itself by referrring to glorious past made to its own order. Dr Prof Fomenko and team have identified scores of instances of such manipulation in Russian, European, etc.. history, and delivered valid statistical proof thereof. His own 'reconstruction' is completely another story. Forget c14 as a valid method of dating. W.Libby has initially discovered a brilliant method of INDEPENDENT dating. Too bad, c14 method has become a joke after a forced marrige with dendrochronology with consensual chronological scale inbuilt. Radiocarbon method can't stand blind tests, but is so very productive as a rubberstamp.
Accepted History & Chronology Must Be Changed. .......2007-04-09
There is no doubt that history as most know it is a sham, & institution's version of History both University & Church is fradulent & inaccurate. Everything was established with an agenda, The real "Dark Ages" are now when we have access to incredible amounts of information past authorities & more important 'common folk' didn't have but our institutions & educators are slow to evolve because of what has ignorantly & arrogantly been taught for too long. This is on many subjects not just Chronology.
For anyone to question "Why would a Mathematician have anything credible to say of History?" The answer is from Dr. Fomenko's preface in the book: "It would be worthwhile to remind the reader that in the XVI-XVII century Chronology was considered to be a subdivision of Mathematics." These volumes could possibly be some of the most important works to date & should be read by everyone with an interest in History, especially professors & educators who have a duty to the public. I have read both books & must say that 'Chronology 1' has some very eye opening & revolutionary information. Even if these volumes are part true the implications are profound & opens the doors to further investigations & questions which must be done. I speak several different lanquages & must say the logic Dr. Fomenko uses with "inflection" of words & words being read from left to right in one region & right to left in another then written backwards, the removal of vowels & get down to basics of words, or different cities & locations having the same name etc. is correct. Vowel usage has always been optional & varied, actually complicating linquistics & study. The first thing one has to understand is that words never had a fixed spelling in history like we do now, the spelling of words was mutable & regional, as well as names & titles of people were vast, varied & changed, NOTHING WAS FIXED or understood linear. Matters of Life & Death as well as financial profiteering yesterday & today were & are made with ignorant, illogical & conspiratorial views of history & reality, it's time people get closer to the Truth & society collectively grow up.

It is a good proposal and I believe it will mature into something even better in the future. I think it deserves to be read.
History as Science Fiction.......2007-01-10
Anatoly Fomenko has written a very intriguing book, full of pictures, charts, and computer 'proof' of his thesis: backwards of AD900 we don't really know what happened or when. Between AD900 and AD1600 there is more certainty, but there is still a lot of fuzzy ground, and things don't get reliable until we get past the 1600's where the printing press made it very difficult for the perpetrators of this timeline manipulation to change anything that had been committed to print. The Dark Ages did not happen. Books were burned for a reason. One organization has doubled the actual length of its existence by expanding the real chronology. Read why.
I had always wondered why Christ died about AD33 and yet men waited until the 11th century to form the Knights Templar, the Cathars, etc and go after the Holy Land by force. Why the 1000 year gap? Turns out there wasn't more than a 10-12 year gap and he proves it using astronomy. This also implies that the planet is not as old as we have been told, and current Christian and other creationist scientists are already championing that idea without being aware of Fomenko's book. The two groups, creationist scientists and the Russian mathematical analysts corroborate each other. Fascinating.
Of course, all this flies in the face of what we have been told traditionally is the 'proper' chronology of western civilization, and most readers will experience 'cognitive dissonance' in reading this book. It means that our history going backwards from AD1600 becomes progressively more incorrect and unreliable until it cannot be trusted at all... in the space of 700-800 years.
Naturally, the curious, open-minded reader will want to know WHO did this, WHY, and did any of the events we think of as really ancient ever happen?
Dr. Fomenko is a respected scientist/mathematician at Moscow State University who has already answered these questions to the satisfaction of his initially skeptical colleagues. Most of them are now believers, a few still refuse to believe (the usual diehards), and of course the western press has ignored Fomenko's work -- for obvious reasons when you read the book. The ones who perpetrated this chronology ruse have a lot to answer for. They are still with us. That's why this book is a well-kept secret.
I gave the book a 4-star rating because I was unable to check out some of his claims; those I checked were as he said. But if even 1/3 of his claims are true, this punches a big hole in what we think is our history, the meaning of western civilization, our educational process (for repeating the ruse as gospel), and the trustworthiness of the organization that perpetrated this ruse, well-intentioned or not.
This book relates to current research into a Young Earth paradigm, to John Keel's discoveries about our planet, and Fr Malachi Martin's insights (in his now out-of-print books). We are indeed sheep who are manipulated and kept ignorant -- for a reason. While knowing what these men have to say may be the "booby prize" (as in: 'what can you do with this knowledge?'), it will provide interesting reading. Didn't someone say: "...and the Truth will set you free."?? For you to judge if this book contains the truth.

Book Description
For all the brouhaha about reform and the avowed benefits of free-market policies in the 1990s, the quick-fix solution for underdevelopment continues to elude us. Through an incisive narrative of the misconceptions and misconstrued notions that have blinkered economic judgment for decades, Piya Mahtaney argues that the underpinnings of economic terrorism are embodied in the stark contrasts between unbridled affluence ensconced in minuscule enclaves and unrelenting endemic poverty. We may finally have arrived at the crux of contemporary economics which impinges not so much on evaluating the commercial profitability of globalisation as it does on examining two distinct possibilities that will decide the economic destiny for a long time to come.
Either 'globalism' can result in development or it cannot. If it can-although so far it hasn't-then its limitations have to be surmounted, and if its purview does not extend beyond tactical commercialism then the immense hype about it in recent years is meaningless. Is there a crisis of imagination or are there deeper issues at stake? In answering this crucial question, Mahtaney looks at the dilemmas and paradoxes that befuddle strategic thinking on the subject and in so doing reveals a sinister fact: there exists a crisis of implementation that is perpetrated by a medley of vested interests which deliberately flout the rulebook of sound economics to make decisions that benefit the superstructure and adversely impact the majority of us.

Amazing analysis of contemporary economics.......2002-11-16
This is an incisive interpretation of contemporary economics in

Undoutbtedly this is a must read for anyone with an interest in economic betterment of the world
Amazing analysis of contemporary economics.......2002-11-16
I have read this book and I can categorically state that it is an extremely objective analysis of development strategies pursued.
It has incisively shown that high growth rates alone do not make for the attainment of developmental objectives.
By no means is it extremely idealistic, instead it sets out realistic targets of economic progress
Suffice it to say that this book is a must read for all those individuals who have an interest in seeing economic betterment.
