Embracing individualism and antistatism, the United States traditionally has favored a limited role for government Yet state intervention both against and on behalf of labor has a long history, culminating in the labor law reforms of the New Deal How do we account for this irony? And how do we explain why, between World War I and the Great Depression, озсьт another leading industrial nation with similar ideological commitments, Great Britain, developed a different model? By comparing the United States and Britain, Larry G Gerber makes clear that, in the development of industrial relations policies, ideology was secondary to economic realitiesthe structure of business, the market system, and the configuration of unions Nonetheless, industrial policy developed within the broader context of the transition from the individualistic laissez-faire capitalism of the nineteenth century to a collectivist political economy in which the state and organized groups played increasingly important roles while pluralist and corporatist models contended for influence In Britain, where most business enterprises remained comparatively small, collective bargaining between workers and management became the norm In the United States, however, large-scale corporations quickly rose to dominance Eager to retain control of the production process, corporate elites resisted negotiating with workers and occasionally called upon the state to resolve labor crises American workers, who initially opposed state involvement, eventually turned to the state for assistance as well The New Deal administration responded with a series of new labor policies designed to balance the interests of employers and employees alike Since state intervention did nothing to permanently change employers' hostility toward unions, the New Deal legislation was short-lived Gerber's broad study of this momentous period in labor history helps explain the conundrum of a nation with a typically limited government whose intense intervention in labor relations caused long-lasting effects.  2005 г Твердый переплет, 220 стр ISBN 0875803474.

Twenty years ago, commercial tourism in the People's Republic of China hardly existed Today, China has a burgeoning tourist industry, characterized by a unique style with deep roots in traditional Chinese culture Scenic Spots is an engaging exploration of why Chinese tourists pursue certain kinds of experiences, what they make of them, and how озсьч their experiences and interpretations are shaped by the state Working from within a Chinese cultural framework, PA?l NyA­ri argues that China's brand of tourism is distinct from the traditions of both Western bourgeois tourism, which values authenticity, and Soviet tourism, with its emphasis on rugged and selfless experience In China, tourism development is guided by the state, and "scenic spots" (jingdian) and theme parks are used to demonstrate China's heroic past and as tools of patriotic education and modernization - or as forms of "indoctritainment " The tourist site is perceived as a product, and, as such, it is bounded, approved, rated, and consumed In a style both straightforward and provocative, NyA­ri argues that the uniformity and undisguised commercialism of Chinese tourist sites are a direct result of the state's ultimate authority to determine the meaning of landscape and to control culture Scenic Spots serves as a lens through which to explore mechanisms of cultural control and resistance in a highly commercialized sphere of everyday life in contemporary China.  2006 г Твердый переплет, 134 стр ISBN 0295985887.

Book Description From the author of Women Who Think Too Much, a groundbreaking book that uncovers a hidden source of depression in women today Depression is a common and debilitating problem among women, though it rarely occurs in a vaccum As Susan Nolen-Hoeksema’s original research shows, overthinking—a tendency to ruminate on problems озсцц rather than to seek solutions—often co-exists with unhealthy eating habits and/or heavy drinking In fact, 80 percent of women who report suffering from one of those also suffer from another This groundbreaking book, written in a vivid narrative style that captures the complexities of women’s lives today, explains how the three core problems of the Toxic Triangle reinforce one another, wreaking havoc on women’s emotional well-being, physical health, relationships, and careers Escape is possible, Nolen-Hoeksema assures us, for those who are already aware that they suffer from a serious problem as well as for the hundreds of thousands of others who have not yet examined the role that bingeing and purging—on negative thoughts, food, or alcohol—plays in their lives Nolen-Hoeksema shows women how to harness their emotional and interpersonal strengths to overcome the stress caused by a destructive relationship with food, alcohol, and overthinking so that they can fashion effective, healthier strategies for living the life they deserve.  2005 г 272 стр ISBN 0805077103.
