“So what was it about Look Back in Anger that caused such a shock?” asks Dominic Shellard at the start of this thought-provoking and engrossing review of postwar British theatre In order to shed new light on an old debate, Shellard and his fellow contributors unearth authentic testimony and fresh archival evidence drawn from the collections ожзув of the British Library Spanning the pivotal years from 1945 to 1968, The Golden Generation explores the explosive new shifts in perspective, drama, genre, style, and performance—ranging from New Wave to “illegitimate” Variety theatre, the cutting-edge Theatre Workshop to made-for-TV plays, avant-garde acting to the West End glitterati Dipping in and out of the vibrant interviews and personal views of this period’s theatrical stars, this volume also includes an extraordinary variety of vivid recollections from fans, local repertory actors, budding young talents, and some of drama’s rising literary stars Illustrated with more than thirty evocative sketches, letters, and photographs—many previously unpublished—The Golden Generation offers an absorbing and engaging portrait of what it might have been like to be Sir Lawrence Olivier or Sir John Gielgud in their primes, a most vibrant time in British theatrical history.  2009 г Твердый переплет, 224 стр ISBN 0712349472.

In 1982, twenty thousand Chinese-American garment workers-mostly women--went on strike in New York's Chinatown and forced every Chinese garment industry employer in the city to sign a union contract In this pioneering study, Xiaolan Bao penetrates to the heart of Chinese-American society to explain how this militancy and organized protest, ожзфф seemingly so at odds with traditional Chinese female behavior, came about Bao conducted more than a hundred interviews, primarily with Chinese immigrant women who were working or had worked in the Chinatown garment shops and garment-related institutions in the city Blending these poignant, often dramatic personal stories with a detailed history of the garment industry, Chinese immigrant labor, and the Chinese community in New York, Bao shows how the high rate of married women participating in wage-earning labor outside the home profoundly transformed family culture and with it the image and empowerment of Chinese-American women Bao offers a complex and subtle discussion of the interplay of ethnic and class factors within the garment industry in New York City She examines the exploitative paternalism, rooted in ethnic social and economic structures, by which operators sustained low wages and marginal working conditions She also documents the uneasy relationship between the ILGWU and rank-and-file women garment workers whose claim to direct representation was essentially ignored by union leadership Through the words of the women workers themselves, Bao shows how their changing positions within their families and within the workplace galvanized them to unite and stand up for themselves Passionately told and prodigiously documented, Holding Up More Than Half the Sky is an important contribution to Asian-American history, labor history, and the history of women.  2006 г Мягкая обложка, 360 стр ISBN 0252073509.

From It’s All Politics Like business in general, politics is not a spectator sport You cannot afford to be apolitical at work if you have any aspirations for advancement The only way to avoid politics is to avoid people—by finding an out-of-the-way corner where you can do your job Of course, it’s the same job you’ll likely be doing for the rest ожзфъ of your career In any job, when you reach a certain level of technical competence, politics is what makes all the difference with regard to success At that point, it is indeed all politics Everyday brilliant people take a backseat to their politically adept colleagues by failing to win crucial support for their ideas Sometimes politics involves going around or bending rules, but more typically it’s about positioning your ideas in a favorable light, and knowing what to say, and how and when to say it … Keep in mind that people benefit from perpetuating the image of politics as something you either know or you don’t Ignore them Political acumen is largely learned from observation And then it’s a matter of practice, practice, practice When a journalist suggested that golfing great Gary Player was very lucky, he replied: “It’s funny, but the more I practice, the luckier I get ” The same is true of politics An indispensable guide to mastering the ins and outs of office politics—the single most important factor in getting ahead in your career As management professor and consultant Kathleen Reardon explains in her new book, It's All Politics, talent and hard work alone will not get you to the top What separates the winners from the losers in corporate life is politics As Reardon explains, the most talented and accomplished employees often take a backseat to their politically adept coworkers, losing ground in the race to get ahead—sometimes even losing their jobs Why? Because they’ve failed to manage the important relationships with the people who can best reward their creativity and intelligence To determine whether you need a crash course in Office Politics 101, ask yourself the following questions: Do I get credit for my ideas? Do I know how to deal with a difficult colleague? Do I get the plum assignments? Do I have a mentor? Do I say no gracefully and pick my battles wisely? Am I in the loop? Reardon has interviewed hundreds of employees, from successful veterans to aspiring hopefuls, examining why some people who work hard and effectively at their jobs fall behind, while those who are adept at “reading the office tea leaves” forge ahead Being politically savvy doesn’t mean being unethical or devious At heart, it’s about listening to and relating to others, and making choices that advance everyone’s goals Like it or not, when it comes to work, it’s all politics And politics is all about knowing what to say, when to say it, and who to say it to.  2005 г Твердый переплет, 256 стр ISBN 0385507577.

At the beginning of the 1990s, a massive speculative asset bubble burst in Japan, leaving the nation's banks with an enormous burden of nonperforming loans Banking crises have become increasingly common across the globe, but what was distinctive about the Japanese case was the unusually long delay before the government intervened to aggressively ожзхы address the bad debt problem The postponed response by Japanese authorities to the nation's banking crisis has had enormous political and economic consequences for Japan as well as for the rest of the world This book helps us understand the nature of the Japanese government's response while also providing important insights into why Japan seems unable to get its financial system back on track 13 years later The book focuses on the role of policy networks in Japanese finance, showing with nuance and detail how Japan's Finance Ministry was embedded within the political and financial worlds, how that structure was similar to and different from that of its counterparts in other countries, and how the distinctive nature of Japan's institutional arrangements affected the capacity of the government to manage change The book focuses in particular on two intervening variables that bring about a functional shift in the Finance Ministry's policy networks: domestic political change under coalition government and a dramatic rise in information requirements for effective regulation As a result of change in these variables, networks that once enhanced policymaking capacity in Japanese finance became "paralyzing networks"--with disastrous results.  2006 г Мягкая обложка, 392 стр ISBN 0691128685.

Development - is it a powerful vision of a better life for the half of the world's population who subsist on two dollars a day?

Lots of witty wordplay, skewering drawings, and a healthy dose of illustrative competition For twenty years, veteran cartoonists Liza Donnelly and Michael Maslin have been exploring in their work the ins and outs of marriage From whimsical and wacky to risque and barbed, ожзфу their humor allows us to laugh at our follies and foibles and the insanity that is inherent in the day-to-day workings of every marriage From meeting, wooing, and dating to marrying, divorcing, and remarrying, from having sex to having kids, the course of true love never runs smooth–but it’s excellent fodder for talented humorists Here, Donnelly and Maslin offer a his-and-hers view of marriage, a cartoon conversation about all that love entails From the wedding day (“And do you, Louise, take Jack to be your husband until really, really pissed-off do you part?”) to cohabitation (“And this is where I go to escape from where I go to escape”) to parenting (“Dad says it’s all right with him if I watch TV as long as it’s not all right with you”), husband and wife give us hilarious insights into the way relationships work Cartoon Marriage shares clever takes on male/female communication (“You could at least acknowledge the fact that I’m ignoring you”) and renovation (“I’ve made a few improvements, but the way you see him now is pretty much the way I found Harold eleven years ago”) And of course, what view of marriage would be complete without a trip to the bedroom: “Owen, look, the good-sex fairy ”Featuring more than two hundred hilarious cartoons, Cartoon Marriage is a deliciously witty true-to-life look at matrimony, children, happiness, connubial squabbling, and everything in between.  2009 г Твердый переплет, 304 стр ISBN 1400068088.
