Bailyn has revised and updated her short and immensely readable work in light of the political, social, and economic changes the country has undergone since the publication of the first edition in 1993, including a significant shift in the demographics of the workplace. The result is a timely and thoughtful look at how employers and employees today must reconsider the conditions of employment and the link between the public and private spheres in a changing world. Throughout the book, Bailyn uses well-integrated vignettes and case studies to illustrate how outmoded assumptions about work and life can negatively impact both employers and employees, and what those willing to rethink these assumptions can achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Delaney Anderson * Berkeley Journal of Employment and Labor Law *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.
