University of Minnesota Press Freegans
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Eat this book. If you’re lucky enough to find it in the trash, dig it out and bite in. It’s sociologically fresh and environmentally nutritious. Alex V. Barnard writes crisply and invitingly, and his analysis of the ‘fetishism of waste’ is novel and helpful. This is ethnography as it is meant to be: going through the trash and thrash of everyday life and uncovering analytic treasures—free to be had, if we only stop to look."—Michael Bell, University of Wisconsin-Madison "In Freegans, Alex V. Barnard examines how this group of activists aims to change the way we live on this world, one overripe tomato at a time."—Tristram Stuart, author of Waste: Uncovering the Global Food Scandal"Readers with interests in social justice, activist movements, environmentalism, consumerism, and food waste will find this book thought-provoking."—Library Journal"Barnard’s book is refreshing ... an important and thorough critique of food waste."—On the Brink"The timeliness of many themes, from political disenfranchisement and social movements to climate change and food security, make this a compelling and urgent read. Barnard’s easy and accessible writing style ensures this book is also engaging and valuable to a non-academic audience."—Environmental Politics"This engaging, well-written book, full of vivid observations and interviews, is sure to attract a wide readership. Highly recommended."—CHOICE"This work will shed light on how alternative activists are enacting a more sustainable future today, and citizens who are doubtful that sustainability can be attained via conscious consumption might find inspiration in freegans’ radical waste politics."—Food, Culture & Society"Barnard succeeds in making visible drivers of ecological destruction in capitalism and provides a thoughtful analysis of the strengths, weaknesses and inconsistencies of anti- capitalist social movements."—Environmental Values"A wonderful text for a social movement class looking for a well written, enjoyable read to illustrate the recruitment, tactics, role of identity and culture, and decline of a movement."—Mobilization"This thorough account reminds us of the dangers of capitalist co-option and the need to stick to our values when the world around us appears blind. Freegans reveal a more complete story of capitalist waste and want that to contribute to unraveling these complex issues."—The British Journal of Sociology"A critical addition to undergraduate and graduate classes on the subject."—Agriculture and Human Values"Barnard’s re-conceptualization of freegans’ speeches and practices offers other interesting insights."—European Journal of SociologyTable of ContentsContentsPreface Introduction: A Brief History of a Tomato 1.

Temple University Press,U.S. The Bottom Line: Observations and Arguments on
Book SynopsisFeisty essays from the nation's top sports economistTrade Review"The advantage of this book is that it allows the reader to see how one of the foremost professors in sports and business analyzed each event virtually as it happened. So this book will take you back over the past decade and consistently teach you something new about professional and college sports." Wordpress website "Very few academics treat sport as seriously as it deserves. And precious few of them keep their subject interesting. Andrew Zimbalist is royalty in this small kingdom."--Franklin Foer, author of How Soccer Explains the World: An Unlikely Theory of Globalization "The bottom line on The Bottom Line? Definitely worth the money and time, even though it reprints work previously published. The author of several excellent books on baseball economics, Zimbalist is an indefatigable, seemingly ubiquitous commentator on the business of sports in the print and broadcast media...Readers will be informed by most of these opinion pieces and infuriated by others. But Zimbalist should not be ignored. Highly recommended." - CHOICE "The Bottom Line brings together some of the best articles that [Zimbalist] has written during the past 15 years. Like readers who find that their favorite novelist is also an expert short-story writer, those familiar with Zimbalist's books but not his op-ed pieces will see the same trenchant analysis and quick with in these essays...It is a collection worth reading and rereading." The Journal of Sports Economics "Andrew Zimbalist pulls no punches, writing in a deliberately provocative style that will no doubt have some cheering with every jab and upper cut and others screaming about blows below the belt... The articles provide an efficient, accessible and at the time they were written, timely survey of much of the Sports Economics landscape as viewed by Professor Zimbalist...He provides a quick comprehensive overview of the subject."

Templeton Foundation Press,U.S. Make Your Job a Calling: How the Psychology of
Book SynopsisDo you ever feel sick of your job? Do you ever envy those people who seem to positively love what they do? While those people head off to work with a sense of joy and purpose, for the rest of us trudging back to the office on Monday morning or to the factory for the graveyard shift or to the job site on a hundred-degree day can be an exercise in soul crushing desperation. “If only we could change jobs,” we tell ourselves, “that would make it better.” But we don’t have the right education . . . or we don’t have enough experience . . . or the economy isn’t right . . . or we can’t afford the risk right now. So we keep going back to the same old unsatisfying jobs.The wonderful truth, though, is that almost any kind of occupation can offer any one of us a sense of calling. Regardless of where we are in our careers, we can all find joy and meaning in the work we do, from the construction zone flagger who keeps his crew safe to the corporate executive who believes that her company’s products will change the world. In Make Your Job a Calling authors Bryan J. Dik and Ryan D. Duffy explore this powerful idea and help the reader navigate the many challenges—both internal and external—that may arise along the pathway to a sense of calling at work.Over the course of four sections, the authors define the idea of calling, review cutting-edge research on the subject, provide practical guidelines for discerning a calling at all stages of work and life, and explore what calling will look like as workplace norms continue to evolve. They also take pains to present a realistic view of the subject by unpacking the perils and challenges of pursuing one’s higher purpose, especially in an uncertain economy.The lessons presented will resound with anyone in any line of work and will show how the power of calling can beneficially shape individuals, organizations, and society as a whole.Trade ReviewFull of practical insights and actionable research findings, Make Your Job a Calling: How the Psychology of Vocation Can Change Your Life at Work guides readers–in all kinds of jobs–through a thoughtful and research-based path to transform their relationship with work. Dik and Duffy have powerfully captured the dynamics of meaning in work in ways that underscore the importance of meaningful work in any job.” —Amy Wrzesniewski, associate professor of Organizational Behavior, Yale School of ManagementTable of ContentsAcknowledgments / ixPart 1: Calling in the Twenty-fi rst CenturyChapter 1.
