Title: Gender Studies. (Book Reviews).(Temporary Work: The Gendered Rise of a Precarious Employment Relationship by Leah F. Vosko) (book review)
Author: Caroline Andrew
Publication:
American Review of Canadian Studies (Refereed)
Date: March 22, 2002

Volume: 32
Issue: 1
Page: 162(4)
Article Type: Book Review

Book Description
The first in-depth analysis of temporary work in Canada, Leah F. Vosko's important new book examines a number of important trends, including the commodification of labour power; the decline of the full-time, full-year job as a norm; and the gendered character of prevailing employment relationships. Spanning the period from the late nineteenth to the late twentieth century, Temporary Work traces the evolution of the temporary employment relationship in Canada and places it in an international context. It explores how, and to what extent, 'temporary work' is becoming a norm for a diverse group of workers in the labour market, taking gender as a central lens of analysis.
Recent scholarship emphasizes that the nature of work is changing, citing the spread of non-standard forms of employment and the rise in women's participation in the labour force. Vosko confirms that important changes are indeed taking place in the labour market, but argues that these changes are best understood in historical, economic and political contexts. This book will be invaluable to academics in a variety of disciplines as well as to policy analysts and practitioners.

Coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooold.......2005-10-17
I bought this book for an employee who had decided to move from sunny San Diego back to the town where she grew up, Minneapolis.
It's cold there and this book was quite appropriate. She loved it, as did others in our work group. For 5 bucks, don't hesitate - this is a great gift.
What a great gift idea!.......1999-08-29
Cathy McGlynn and Bonnie Stewart have put together a collection of one-liners sure to tickle your funny bone and warm your heart. Order one for yourself and a friend who lives in the South!!
Book Description
Every writer needs a simpatico environment to be productive, and what better place than that mecca of creativity, San Francisco? The city by the bay has been home to generations of writers, from Rudyard Kipling to Mark Twain to Armistead Maupin. In this lively book, Eric Maisel gives writers the guidance they need to take a literal or figurative soul-renewing sojourn to San Francisco. Maisel, one of America’s foremost creativity coaches, explores the how and why of making an artistic pilgrimage to the city, including the pesky problem of finding the perfect pied-a-terre for writing that elusive masterpiece. Thirty individual essays profile the best sections of the city for pumping up the juices (“The View from Bernal Hill,” “South of Market”), noted literati of the past (“Mark Twain and the Onion”), how to find the perfect landlord, dealing with those inspiration-inhibiting earthquake fears, and much more.

Food for the starving artist.......2006-12-31
Every year in December I read a creativity book and take as much time as I can to rejuvinate my creative soul and decide what projects I want to focus on in the coming year. Last year I read A Writer's Paris and this year I read A Writer's San Francisco. Both books are wonderful, inspirational texts that will help any writer find creative energy and meaning through their work. The first book made me want to get out and travel the world, using the opportunity to hone my senses and gather new experiences for my writing. It was wonderful, as far as that goes, but I don't generally have the money to fly off to Paris for a month, or even a week, to feed my creative soul. You can tell Maisel lives in San Francisco, while he himself has been only a tourist in Paris, because the second book brings writing home. It makes you appreciate your own home town, even if it's not as artist-friendly as San Francisco, and it offers an illuminating look inside a successful writer's daily life with out the rules and regulations so often laid out in "a writer's life" type of book. Recommended for all aspiring, struggling, and successful writers.
Midwest Book Review: December 2006 Issue.......2006-12-02
From Bernal Hill to Washington Square Park, Alcatraz Island to the West Portal Tunnel, Eric Maisel has traveled physically and metaphorically, and in this beautiful new book, he gives the reader a guided tour of heart, soul, and place.
The physical book is stunningly beautiful. Paul Madonna's colorful drawings of buildings, streets, interiors, and still-life scenes add amazing depth to the narrative. A center foldout shows a typically hilly San Francisco street full of narrow houses and flats with a view to the Golden Gate Bridge. Quotations by Imogen Cunningham, Dylan Thomas, Mark, Twain, and Oscar Wilde on the reverse side attest to the strength and attractions of the city.
Those who have followed Maisel's career, read his books on writing, received his frequent newsletters, and participated in his creativity workshops will be further entranced by this book of reflections, memories, and wise observations, but any author or artist who has fallen in love with a city - or, indeed, any place - will find this "Guided Journey of the Creative Soul" irresistible. Highly recommended. ~Lori L. Lake, Midwest Book Review
A Writer Writing for Writers.......2006-10-31
I just finished reading A Writer's San Francisco and I'll be buying extra copies to give as gifts. I think this one is even better than A Writer's Paris (which BTW was also very good). With A Writer's San Francisco, Eric Maisel manages to weave history, his personal connections to the city and the best of his creativity coaching lessons together into a delicious mix. The wonderful illustrations by Paul Madonna were paired with the essays to compliment them perfectly.
A Writer's Paris made me consider it viable to go to Paris for a writing vacation. A Writer's San Francisco is even bigger than that--it's a writer writing for writers and revealing why it's important to write, how connection to place and events can be so meaningful and rich, and how non-fiction essays can be creative and satisfying.
This really is a great idea--I can hardly wait to read the next city that Maisel profiles from his unique perspective and writer's experience.
A real find........2006-10-22
I opened the book randomly to page 33, where the first line of the chapter read, "For a year I dated a schizophrenic poet-- let's call her Carol."
This is a travel guide?!
This essay was about a woman who hallucinated roses and poked strangers in the midriff and ended up institutionalized for some time, but who also wrote and recited poetry when she was "sane." And at one reading, a woman came up to her and said, "You are a real poet." It's the validation every writer craves, and it's the theme of this essay. Sure, the setting is San Francisco, but this is no "You must see this fine little café with the lovely murals" guide.
Having been drawn in by this essay, I flipped back to the first page and began reading. It's even more of a niche book than I imagined. It's written for nonreligious Democrat novelists who consider themselves "artists" and love San Francisco. I am precisely none of these things.
Considering how far out of his target market I am, I probably shouldn't have enjoyed this book. But I did. I enjoyed it despite wanting to toss mackerel at his kneecaps a few times. I enjoyed it partly because of that, maybe. What really matters, above all else, is that he's writing about the lives of writers. And even if I roll my eyes at the idea of "artistes" in coffee houses, we're going to have a lot in common.
The experience of walking into a bookstore and finding out someone else has already written the book you were planning to write, for instance. Trying to write even through tragedy and pressures. Missing a fabulous writing opportunity because you were in the wrong place at the right time. Blowing your first public speaking engagement in support of your book. Having conversations about the meanings of words like "haberdashery."
There are brilliant sentences and paragraphs here, things you'll wish you wrote. There are experiences you'll "get" even if you've never had them. This is part of the brotherhood and sisterhood of writers. The part that believes, regardless of what we write and where we live and what demographic boxes we check on subscription forms, that the merits of our work are still important. That those who try to belittle the craft should have their noses rearranged. That writing matters.
San Francisco - the literary muse.......2006-10-18
Armistead Maupin's fictional tales of the city are one long love letter to San Francisco ... and here is why. A must have book for al writers who plan to visit the Bay Area.
Book Description
Madonna: Inspirations captures the singular essence of this star and highlights her determination as an inspiration to all. Using only the star's own words, Madonna offers readers a glance into the hard work and dedication of this woman who is not afraid to bare it all-a natural inspiration to everyone who dares to be different. Catch a glimpse into this enigma:
" "Sometimes you gotta tell the world the way you feel, even if they don't want to hear about it."
" "When I'm hungry, I eat. When I'm thirsty, I drink. When I feel like saying something, I say
it."
" "When my daughter was born, I was born again."
Madonna features over 50 photographs in a thoroughly modern design for a striking and unique look. The entire text of the book is composed of Madonna's own words.
Customer Reviews:
Nothing intellectual.......2007-06-28
If you think there may be profound philosophical sayings here, you'll be disappointed. Pics, sure, but if this is how she talks, she sounds like a fortune cookie.
Her teeny bopper fans will love it, but no one else will be impressed. Makes you wonder why it was written.
Lessons on Life.......2007-01-21
Tells you a little about Madonna's ideals and perspectives on life. Although a worthy collctible, it's probably more geared to her female fans...
Wanna-Be: Then and Now... For Serious Fans Only.......2006-07-14
Inspirations are a "for your eyes only" must have for the Madonna fan - legacy or current. She says it well and besides ... got to hand it to Madonna for her endurance in showbiz. In June in Montreal she asked the crowd "Who is more exciting? Me or the Grand Prix?"... YOU Madonna ... is, was, and always... with inspirations on the way. But heck - I've been a fan since Lucky Star (back when I was a tween) ... and Madonna's star shines just as bright as ever.
Let's Get Serious, Shall We?!.......2006-04-28
Just another proof positive example of the rich getting richer on the backs of the stupid struggling to get stupider.
Nuff said!
Short and Sweet.......2006-01-17
A fine example of less is more. Comprised of random thoughts, artful pictures, and an engaging layout; this book is a wonderful insight into Madonna, an extraordinary superstar who shares her ordinary thoughts w/her own personal touch. A must for all Madonna fans!

An authentic work, the author really knows the subject well.......1998-04-13
This book will serve the sincere student of Qabala and Tarot for many years. The Tarot illustrations are very poor, but the student should have their own deck anyway. The book summarises many years of training in a single volume. Packed with no non-sense technical content but the real reason to buy this book are for the excellent meditations and exercises. A MUST HAVE.

This collection is the first to break into the unexplored field of cultural studies in New Zealand. Ranging from such disciplines as sociology, film, television, and fine arts, the contributors provide slices of everyday life in New Zealand using both contemporary and historical
examples.
Product Description
"The Characters in this book insist on coming to life, which is not suprising, for they are accurately drawn from life. They believe that humour, with an occassional touch of pathos, can do justice to the everyday situations at the bridge table, which seems too grim and far too serious in clubs outside of the Menagerie."

A change of pace in the Menagerie.......2003-07-09
The second in Robert King's continuation of Mollo's classic series, this book marks a bit of a shift in focus. All the old favorites, the Hog, the Rabbit, Papa, Karapet and so on are still prominent, to be sure, but this edition sees them joined in the upper ranks by King's new character, the lovely and talented Sophia the Siren, and details her efforts at improving the play of her most promising students.
The effect of this is that the hands in this book are not as high-level as previous Menagerie books, nor is the play of some of the characters as sound as before (the Secretary Bird, in particular, seems to have all but turned into Walter the Walrus). But the humor and character interaction are still as crisp and entertaining as ever, and isn't that all we ever ask of the Menagerie?

HTTP Pocket Reference: Hypertext Transfer Protocol
ASIN: 0201710889 |
Amazon.com
Carefully prepared content gets all the glory, but the job of delivering multimedia information to the people and machines who require it falls to a set of protocols. Web Protocols and Practice explains how resources locate one another on the constantly changing Internet, how they ask for other resources, and how those documents and media are delivered. This comprehensive document does more than any other book around to eliminate vague hand-waving and actually explain how the Internet works. Anyone who's heard explanations along the lines of, "The Domain Name Service resolves the machine name to an IP address" or "The browser makes a POST request" and wanted to scream "But HOW?" will love what Balachander Krishnamurthy and Jennifer Rexford have done in these pages.
The authors approach HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and the other protocols covered from an engineering perspective, which is to say that they outline the problems the protocols are meant to solve before going into detail about what the protocols do. They also explain the evolution of protocols over time, and call attention to the shortcomings of protocols and their likely evolutionary paths. Nearly all of the explanatory material takes the form of bright, carefully considered text that's supplemented by message listings ("The server could reply with...") and a handful of conceptual diagrams. Later chapters transcend the protocols themselves to focus on questions of reliability, traffic measurement, and efficient caching. --David Wall
Topics covered: The protocols that underpin transactions on the Internet and other networks that employ Internet communications standards. Detailed coverage goes to the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) versions 1.0 and 1.1, the Internet Protocol addressing scheme, and the Transmission Control Protocol specification. Design of Web servers, cache servers, and proxy servers gets much attention, as do site workload and traffic metrics.

Buy this book!!!.......2005-07-26
This is so totally readable and comprehensive in its scope, that it was an absolute delight. This one is a keeper and a re-read if you need to understand what the word "web" or "data" means.
"The" book of the web.......2003-07-30

Understand Web Performance.......2001-08-08
You've built a B2C or B2B web service. You get great response time from your office, but there are times when your customers across the country report poor performance.
This book with help you understand the entire path between browser and web server and how Internet latency and intermediaries like Proxy servers add to transaction delay. This is the only source that I've seen that a) Defines HTTP 1.1 and b) describes the relationship between HTTP and the TCP/IP protocol stack, making recommendations on how to tune the stack to reduce the effect of latency.
You'll learn that many of TCP's flow control mechanisms were designed for FTP, Telnet and Rlogin and some default settings are not optimized, or even appropriate for HTTP.
If you read only one book on HTTP, READ THIS!!!.......2001-08-05
This is a fabulous book, technically competent, well-written, easy to read and well-organized. It comprehensively covers all the tech-weenie needs to know about clients, proxies, servers, HTTP, and a bunch more without drowning you in math or killing you softly with a gazillion irrelevant details. I found the last chapter, the "Research Perspectives," to be particularly up-to-date and useful. There is a ton of information about HTTP floating around out there. Figuratively speaking, Rexford and Krishnamurthy have taken as their input the coal and produced as their output this diamond.
