Book SynopsisAn ethnographic study of the relationship between Filipina and Indonesian women who work as domestics in Taiwan and their Taiwanese employersTrade Review“This path-breaking study illustrates how boundaries—of race, class, gender, and citizenship—are imposed on migrant domestic workers. Pei-Chia Lan’s use of boundary-making as the lens through which to analyze the integration of migrant domestic workers is a very important contribution to the burgeoning field of the feminization of migration. This is a brilliant book.”—Rhacel Salazar Parreñas, author of Children of Global Migration: Transnational Families and Gendered Woes“We might imagine that the more contact we have with others across the globe the closer our social bonds. But, as Pei-Chia Lan so ably shows, we would be sadly wrong about that. In some ways the madams of Taiwan are ‘close’ to their maids from the Philippines, but in other ways they are very distant from them. Indeed, in some cases the closer we are, the more distant. Just how this works out is the subject of this clearly written, trenchantly argued, hugely important, must-read book.”—Arlie Russell Hochschild, coeditor of Global Woman: Nannies, Maids, and Sex Workers in the New Economy“[T]he book is a major contribution to contemporary research in the relevant areas, including globalization. Its feminist outlook is radical, yet pays attention to the incredible difficulty for involved parties that are willing to undo the inequalities unfolding in the space of the private home. It may be used to compare other proliferating ‘maid economies’ in places like HongKong, Singapore, and the Gulf region.” -- Ann Vogel * Sociology *“[The book] makes fruitful and intelligent use of what broadly might be described as transnational feminist frameworks. . . . [It] provides us with a rich portrait of the constraints and possibilities of a particular space and moment of contemporary existence.” -- Leslie Salzinger * Gender & Society *“This is a fine and challenging ethnographic project . . . . The book is a theoretically informed, sophisticated analysis of employment relationships in the era of transnational migration. Scholars in women’s studies, and international migration and globalization will find this book insightful and informative. It is clearly written, rich in ethnographic insights, and accessible to both undergraduate and graduate students in social sciences and Asian studies.” -- Ping-Chun Hsiung * Labour/Le Travail *Table of ContentsList of Figures and Tables ix Preface xi A Note on Style xv Introduction 1 A Bounded Global Market 29 Disdained Aliens, Stratified Others 59 Jealous Madams and Anxious Mothers 94 Crossing Borders and Gender Divides 125 Cinderella with a Mobile Phone 160 Eat, Drink, Masters and Servants 199 Conclusion 237 Appendices 251 Notes 259 References 277 Index 297

Duke University Press Unfree Masters
Book SynopsisAsserts that the labor issues in the music industry can stimulate insights about the political-economic and imaginative challenges currently facing working people of all kindsTrade Review“Here is a book that does several things at once. It explains the current status of recording artists, both as subordinated employees and as free entrepreneurs who license rights to intellectual property, namely their music compositions and recordings. It also shows how, from the standpoint of labour politics, these cultural workers are not so different from other workers in a neoliberal political economy: competing individually while dreaming of autonomy, and contractually tied to a record company that snaps up their creative output for exploitation and keeps them indebted while offering little security.” -- Hillegonda Rietveld * Times Higher Education *“An important addition to the field of popular music studies and labor studies, Unfree Masters lucidly and bracingly documents the imbricated, contested working relationship between artists and labels…[the book] offers the most detailed and exhaustively researched writing to date on the contractual relationships between artists and record labels and on the political stratagems designed to codify these relationships and change the nature of labor relationships between ‘workers’ and ‘bosses’.” -- John Dougan * Labor *“What Stahl’s fascinating study shows then, in sum, is that the creative labour of recording artists is like regular work in being conditioned by the inequality of the employment relation and by the spurious freedom of contract.” * Reviews in Cultural Theory *“Matt Stahl provides an absorbing account of a pivotal period in the history of the recording industry in the United States…. [T]his text is sure to spark further debate and discourse and as such Unfree Masters is a valuable and timely contribution to the field of popular music studies.” -- Kenny Barr * Popular Music *“Unfree Masters takes in an impressive range of materials and methods in shedding light on sites of ideological tension within recording industry work. It will be of interest not only to students of the music industry but also to those who seek a more general understanding of how neoliberal ideology plays out in everyday culture and politics." -- Rob Drew * International Journal of Communication *"After reading this book one will understand well why major record companies are in trouble today—and will probably not be very sympathetic with their plight. Summing Up: Highly recommended." -- R. J. Phillips * Choice *"Unfree Masters is an important book which ought to be widely read. It contributes not only to an enlightening turn towards cultural and musical labour in contemporary scholarship; it is also part of a renewal of radical critique in popular music studies." -- Jason Toynbee * Popular Music History *"Unfree Masters makes an important contribution to the field of recording industry studies by providing a detailed overview of the landscape of labour in the North American popular music industries. The research and its implications can be applied beyond music and into other creative industries including film, television and media." -- Natalie Lewandowski * Perfect Beat *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments ix Introduction: Popular Music and (Creative) Labor 1 Part I: Representation 31 1.

Fordham University Press The Sons of Molly Maguire
Book SynopsisTraces the rise of the Molly Maguires from Ireland’s devastating potato famine to the turbulent dawn of the American labor movement. With a heavy emphasis on the folk culture that underpinned the Mollies, the book documents the group’s Civil War rebirth in Pennsylvania, and its lasting influence.Trade Review"Mark Bulik's The Sons of Molly Maguire is a superb work of scholarship. Focused on origins, this work situates the Irish emergence and American persistence of the Molly Maguires in all of their considerable complexity, while likewise ably revealing not only the crucial developments of the 1870s that have embedded the Mollies in American memory but also the factors contributing to the Mollies' continuing legacy extending into the present." -- -James P. Leary University of Wisconsin "Mark Bulik's 'The Sons of Molly Maguire: The Irish Roots of America's First Labor War' is a work of considerable scholarship, which carefully unpicks the tightly braided strands of ethnic, labor and party politics in the mid-nineteenth-century coal fields, especially the west branch of Schuylkill County. Drawing on the extensive research, he illuminates the competition between the Irish and other immigrant groups, and, most interestingly, the regional, class and generation tensions within the Irish community itself." -- -Breandan Mac Suibhne Dublin Review of Books "Mark Bulik's The Sons of Molly Maguire is an engaging and enlightening work of historical research and scholarship. As well as bring into focus the Mollies' role in giving America its first taste of class warfare, Bulik's incisive and original explorations sweep aside myths, legends, half-truths, and untruths. He significantly deepens our understanding of these flesh-and blood laborers, who they were, where they came from, and how their struggle resonated through the labor movement in the United States. Thoughtful, insightful and unfailing fair, The Sons of the Molly Maguire is history at its best." -- -Peter Quinn author of Looking for Jimmy: A Search for Irish America "With deft writing and impressive research, Mark Bulik offers a new explanation for a conflict that shook the very foundations of post-Civil War America. The Molly Maguires were at the center of America's first great labor war, but as Bulik shows, the first shots of that war were fired not in northeastern Pennsylvania, but in the fields and villages of Ireland." -- -Terry Golway author of Machine Made: Tammany Hall and the Creation of Modern American PoliticsTable of ContentsPART I Introduction: The Fountainhead | 3 1 “A Slumbering Volcano” | 10 PART II 2 The Black Pig’s Realm | 25 3 The Secret Societies | 44 4 Land and Politics | 62 5 The Molly Maguires | 77 PART III 6 Brotherly Love | 109 7 The Hibernians | 122 8 Another Ulster | 139 9 Resurrection | 166 10 “Brave Sons of Molly” | 183 11 Mars in Mahantango | 193 12 “A Damned Hard Hole” | 203 13 “A Howling Wilderness” | 221 14 Parting Shots | 235 15 The Road to Black Thursday | 254 16 Shadows of the Gunmen | 288 Notes | 319 Index | 357 Illustrations follow page 182

CABI Publishing Genetically Modified Organisms
Book SynopsisFor a number of years the promise of biotechnology has been dimmed by concerns over the intrinsic safety of transgenic organisms. Although considerable knowledge of the properties of recombinant systems and a vast volume of data gathered from different applications of biotechnology are now available, these concerns are still evident. In the developing world, there are also fears that such countries might be used as testing grounds for recombinant products. Considerations of this nature have often overshadowed the benefits these countries might derive from the application of genetic engineering. In response to these concerns, UNIDO, together with the United Nations Environment Programme and the World Health Organization, formed in 1985 the Informal Working Group on Biosafety. In 1991 the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations also joined the Group. The present volume was commissioned by the Group and is intended to help scientists and regulators to conceptualize the majTable of Contents1: Biological risk assessment: an editorial overview of some key policy and implementation issues, G T Tzotzos 2: Public perception of biotechnology, M Leopold 3: Risk assessment and contained use of genetically modified microorganisms(GMMs), J Grinsted 4: Safety in the contained use and the environmental release of transgenic crop plants, P J Dale and J Kinderlerer 5: Environmental release of genetically modified rhizobia and mycorrhizas, GHall 6: Microbial pesticides: safety considerations, M Levin 7: Safety in the contained use and release of transgenic animals and recombinant proteins, D Powell 8: Safety aspects of aquatic biotechnology, R A Zilinskas 9: Safety considerations in biotreatment operations, M Levin 10: Glossary of terms

Cornell University Press Coxeys Crusade for Jobs
Book SynopsisIn the depths of a depression in 1894, a highly successful Gilded Age businessman named Jacob Coxey led a group of jobless men on a march from his hometown of Massillon, Ohio, to the steps of the nation''s Capitol. Though a financial panic and the resulting widespread business failures caused millions of Americans to be without work at the time, the word unemployment was rarely used and generally misunderstood. In an era that worshipped the self-reliant individual who triumphed in a laissez-faire market, the out-of-work tramp was disparaged as weak or flawed, and undeserving of assistance. Private charities were unable to meet the needs of the jobless, and only a few communities experimented with public works programs. Despite these limitations, Coxey conceived a plan to put millions back to work building a nationwide system of roads and drew attention to his idea with the march to Washington. In Coxey''s Crusade for Jobs, Jerry Prout recounts Coxey''s story and adds dTrade ReviewProut provides an important work in the historiography of Coxey's Army, the history of unemployment, and the broader history of the Gilded Age. Prout uses his history of Coxey's Army to illuminate multiple strains of Populism in the 1890s. This important contribution challenges historians to think about the ways in which Populism had multiple potentials, as well as how it survived into the New Deal era and shaped thinking of future government officials and reformers. Well researched and well written, this work is highly recommended for those interested in Coxey's Army, the history of unemployment, and the longer legacies of American protests. * H-Net Reviews *Coxey's Crusade for Jobs helps bridge the historical eras of narrative-based journalism, expounded by historian Hazel Dicken-Garcia, and the sensationalism and sometimes fact-stretching yellow journalism that followed. It is highly recommended for journalism historians as well as casual readers. * Journalism History *Prout has produced a highly informative and entirely satisfying study of the contribution of Coxey's 'Industrial Army' to the history of American protest. * The Annals of Iowa *

John Wiley & Sons Inc Design for Safety
Book SynopsisA one-stop reference guide to design for safety principles and applications Design for Safety (DfSa) provides design engineers and engineering managers with a range of tools and techniques for incorporating safety into the design process for complex systems. It explains how to design for maximum safe conditions and minimum risk of accidents. The book covers safety design practices, which will result in improved safety, fewer accidents, and substantial savings in life cycle costs for producers and users. Readers who apply DfSa principles can expect to have a dramatic improvement in the ability to compete in global markets. They will also find a wealth of design practices not covered in typical engineering booksallowing them to think outside the box when developing safety requirements. Design Safety is already a high demand field due to its importance to system design and will be even more vital for engineers in multiple design disciplines as more systems become increasingly complex aTable of ContentsSeries Editor’s Foreword xvii Preface xix Acknowledgments xxiii Introduction: What You Will Learn xxv 1 Design for Safety Paradigms 1 Dev Raheja, Louis J.

John Wiley & Sons Inc Quantum Negotiation
Book SynopsisMaster the art of getting what you need with a more collaborative approach to negotiation Quantum Negotiation is a handbook for getting what you need using a mindset and behaviors based on a refreshingly expansive perspective on negotiation. Rather that viewing every negotiation as an antagonistic and combative relationship, this book shows you how to move beyond the traditional pseudo win-win to construct a deal in which all parties get what they need. By exploring who we are as negotiators in the context of social conditioning, this model examines the cognitive, psychological, social, physical, and spiritual aspects of negotiation to help you produce more sustainable, prosperous, and satisfying agreements. We often think of negotiation as taking place in a boardroom, a car dealership, or any other contract-centered situation; in reality, we are negotiating every time we ask for something we need or want. Building more robust negotiation behaviors that resonate beyond the boardroomTable of ContentsAcknowledgments vii The Authors ix Foreword xi Introduction: What Comes to Mind When You Think of Negotiation? xv PART I Quantum Negotiation Practice 1 Chapter 1 The WHO & WHY of Quantum Negotiation 3 Chapter 2 The WHAT & WHAT IF of Quantum Negotiation 31 Chapter 3 The HOW of Quantum Negotiation 49 PART II Quantum Negotiation Tools 77 PART III Quantum Negotiation Mindset 91 Chapter 4 Independence Is a Powerful Illusion 93 Chapter 5 What You See Is Not What You Get 111 Chapter 6 Leading Is Not about the Leader 137 Conclusion 147 QN References and Further Reading 151 Index 157

John Wiley and Sons Ltd The Blackwell Handbook of Mediation
Book SynopsisThis handbook invites readers who are interested in mediation, negotiation and conflict resolution to share the perspectives of experts in the field. Contributors include scholars, mediators, trainers and negotiators, all of whom are passionate about their work. Emphasises both internal and external factors as important sources of influence when negotiating conflicts. Explores the cultural and institutional frameworks that have shaped intervention processes. Considers what techniques might work when, how and why. Demonstrates the sophistication of contemporary studies of mediation, negotiation and conflict resolution. Trade Review"Margaret Herrman and her team have done an admirable job of sorting through what we know and what we don't know about the mediation of interpersonal disputes. They have built a comprehensive model integrating dozens of pertinent variables that seeks to link antecedent conditions, mediation practice, and short and long-term outcomes. Herrman has assembled contributions from many of the stars in the mediation field who examine the comprehensive model through the lens of framing and frame reflection, narrative, facework, interpersonal power, emotion, Social identity and organizational management. The Handbook of Mediation while not prescriptive, offers a 'platform for further theory testing' that will surely play an important part in helping to determine what makes mediators and mediations program effective." Lawrence Susskind, MIT-Harvard "The Blackwell Handbook of Mediation is an enormously important contribution to research, scholarship, and reflective practice. In a field marked by a vast range of intellectual traditions and arenas of practice, Margaret Herrman and her contributors have given us an indispensable resource and guide. - erudite, balanced, and respectful of dissenting perspectives." Kenneth Kressel, Rutgers University "Peggy Herrman's book is a solid presentation of the best current thinking and research in our changing field. She has done brilliantly what good mediators do: present the different perspectives, define the issues, and ask, "where do we go from here?" Betty McManus, National Conflict Resolution Center "Judging from the quality of the contributions to the Handbook, Herrman's model is a smashing success."-- Howard Gadlin, in the AAA Dispute Resolution JournalTable of ContentsAcknowledgements.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Design Risk Management
Book SynopsisThe Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 (CDM Regulations 2007) is a revision of a major piece of legislation within the wide portfolio of construction-related legislation. It seeks to improve the long term health and safety performance of the UK construction industry, with ownership of health and safety proactively undertaken by the integrated project team. Good design has always embraced health and safety issues and design teams remain essential players as well as key contributors and communicators in matters of health and safety management. Designers have a legal responsibility to ensure that their designs account for health and safety at all stages within the holistic envelope of construction. Design Risk Management: Contribution to Health and Safety gives detailed guidance to construction practitioners with design responsibility on how to identify and manage health and safety risks, and on the design strategies to be followed. It seeks to focus oTrade Review"This excellent publication, which is full of diagrams and tables (and written in a somewhat idiosyncratic way - and none the worse for that) is a mine of information, especially for those who have only ever read about the CDM Regs from the construction worker's viewpoint."
