Hello Stanny.......2000-07-08

Thats right. Hello Stanny You feel like you are a part ofStanford White's world When you read this book ...

For me, It waslike I could step right into Stanford's world. His electric personality enveloped me as I flew through the pages. I went to Europe with 'Stanny' I visited Milan of the 1880's I toured the streets of New York sidstepping the carriages. Before New York was 42nd street and taxis, New york belonged to the opulence of a century gone by. You too can live in Stannys world if you read this book.

Follow him through into his fifties when finally he is shot by his jealous lovers husband in the Madison Square Garden he designed.

Good summer reading, delightful pros and excellent narrative. Never a dull moment. This book is good beach reading. Take my advice and take Stanny home with you from Amazon today ...

Book Description

Casting themselves as latter-day dandies of an era gone by, the artist team of McDermott & McGough have mined the history of aesthetics as a means to illuminate the present condition of art and culture. With biting irony, and an unmistakably camp sensibility, McDermott & McGough have long employed a visual language that draws heavily from earlier movements; Romanticism, the Pre-Raphaelites, Symbolism and Decadence, and Pictorialism, to name just a few. But their work is closely tied to the present day. This, the first retrospective monograph of their photographic work, underscores the tenacity of their mission to seek a future in the past. Included are the duo's portraits, nudes, still lifes, and architectural pictures utilizing such archaic processes as gum-bichromate, cyanotype, platinum palladium, and salt printing.

Book Description

The successful 1997 strike by the Teamsters against UPS, and the overwhelming support the American public gave the strikers highlighted the impact of contingent work--an umbrella term for a variety of tenuous and insecure employment arrangements such as temping, independent contracting, employee leasing, and some self-employment and part-time or part-year work. This new book contends that contingent work represents a profound deviation from the employment relations model that dominated most of this century's labor relations. It delineates essential features of contingent work from both the worker's and the organization's point of view. Articulating a variety of perspectives from various disciplines, the contributors examine the business forces driving contingent work and assess the consequences of working contingently for the individual, family, and community, taking into account issues of race, class, and gender. They ask how current labor and employment laws need to be rewritten to provide contingent workers with the same comprehensive protections offered to permanent employees. In the final chapter, the editors comment on the status of research on contingent work and chart future research directions.

Contributors: Helen Axel, Kathleen Barker, Anthony P. Carnevale, Franoise J. Carr, Kathleen Christensen, Sharon R. Cohany, Robert W. Drago, Virginia L. duRivage, James M. Eisenmann, George Gonos, Heidi Hartmann, Steven F. Hipple, Lynn A. Jennings, Jean McAllister, Dean Morse, Thomas J. Nardone, Stanley D. Nollen, Anne E. Polivka , James B. Rebitzer, Roberta M. Spalter-Roth, Jay C. Stewart, Chris Tilly.

Kathleen Barker, Editor, comments..........1999-10-10

This volume culminates a five year project working with the top scholars on contingent work in the United States. Every form of contingent work is considered in depth by knowledgeable experts, from independent contracting to temporary arrangements, from service industries to higher education. The result, in our estimation, is a thought-provoking and timely review of how particular American workers are faring.

Reviewers have commented:

"Barker and Christensen bring together an outstanding collection on the transformation of American employment. This iterdisciplinary volume provides the theoretical, historical, and legal contexts for understanding the eremergence of contingent work, and offers empirical research on its extent and its consequences for workes and their families. This volume will be useful for scholars and students interested in work in America; it is a must for policy-makers, unions, and personnel specialists." (Barbara Reskin, Harvard University)

and "This book does a simply masterful job of helping us understand contingent work arrangements..." (Jeffrey Pfeffer, Stanford University

Extenisve research, could have been more inclusive with contingent work section. If you want to read about a temp turned activist (she testified in the U.S.Senate Labor Committee June 1993) read Temporarily Yours by Wendy Perkins, a revealing expose of the temp industry as portrayed by this Beverly Hills temp worker.
