First a Dream: A Community Builds a Library
Jo Ann Ridley Manufacturer: Vision Books International ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 156550089X |
Book Description
This wonderful narrative recounts the history of the libraries on the Tiburon Peninsula and the ten years of dedicated work by visionaries who saw the building of the new library as a necessary element for the community. Aside from fund-raising, volunteers committed long hours to locating a site, choosing an architectural firm, drawing up wish lists, conducting a national search for a library director, ensuring that the children's room be a happy place and user friendly, and learning of future Internet connection systems, all while keeping the donating public excited with the progress by publishing a newsletter, now used to inform the public of the library's book additions, news, and programs.The result is a warm and charming, as well as state of the art, building that was built with generous donations, fund-raisers as simple as bake stands and as elegant as catered dinners, and committees composed of citizens who used all of their professional and social skills to oversee the project to completion and on to ensuring that future library funding continued.

Community engagement in building a living democracy.......2002-06-11
This is one of the better guides I have seen on how constructively to involve an entire community in building its own living democracy. There are exciting and useful lessons here for anyone who is ready to engage in strengthening their neighborhood, town or society.
A True Study in Community.......2002-06-08
The library is a partnership of the two municipalities and reflective and representative of both. It is a community gateway and cultural center, a place of shared responsibilities and benefits. Today there are more than two hundred residents serving on twenty+ committees and each is vested in maintaining the excellence of this library. In creating their own library, the citizens of Tiburon and Belvedere demonstrated something basic and good about people and communities, about social democracy and its power and glory. It shows that local community activists can take matters into their own hands and achieve something remarkable.
Congratulations and thanks to author Jo Ann Ridley for telling this story with such attention to detail, warmth, and enthusiasm. Thanks to artist and architect James Mallott for his beautiful illustrations and his remarkable generosity. Thanks to Dr. Kevin Starr, California State Librarian, for his eloquent foreword. Thanks to Sharon Jones of Vision Books International, the book's publisher and guiding light. Thanks to all the people from the community who served on the Library's History Book Committee - Carol Forell, Allan Littmen, Barbara Gnoss, Joanne Horton, Robin Daily, Betty McKegney, Sharon Bass, Mary Falk, Marie Feldman, Margaret Jones, Barbara and Len Rogers, and Steve Silberstein.

Chronology of Labor in the United States
Russell O. Wright Manufacturer: McFarland & Company ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0786414448 |
Book Description
Organized labor did not become a reality in the United States until a ruling by the Massachusetts Supreme Court in 1842 essentially made it legal to form unions. The first successful national union was the International Typographical Union, which was formed in 1852 following a series of meetings that began in 1850. Labor unions in the United States were seen as vehicles for better wages, not as instruments for achieving social change as in Europe.This chronology deals primarily with the history of American labor unions and their interactions with industry. The introduction discusses how labor (and manufacturing) developed in the United States before 1850, when early attempts at organizing labor failed. The chronology begins in 1850 with the beginning of talks to form the International Typographical Union. The topics covered in the chronology and in the appendices include the gradual shift of the workforce from farming to manufacturing to service occupations, women in the labor force, child labor, the average work week, unemployment compensation, the minimum wage, safety in the work place, and educational issues.

Himalayan Households: Tamang Demography and Domestic Processes
Tom Fricke Manufacturer: Columbia University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0231100078 |
Book Description
Throughout the Nepal Himalaya socioeconomic changes are transforming the lives of remote agro-pastroal peoples, bringing them into new relationships with once-distant elites. Himalayan Households is a comprehensive study of the cultural ecology, demography, and domestic organization of one village undergoing these changes, the Tamang community of Timling. Faced for the first time with an inability to procure most subsistence needs from their local environment, these Tamang have joined the flow of people from rural Nepal who compete for wage labor to supplement their household economies. These changes are profoundly altering internal village relationships, which are organized by both marriage and an ethic of reciprocity, while simultaneously drawing Timling's people into a labor pool where they are disadvantaged because of exposure to unfamiliar experiences. Tom Fricke explores the demographic roots of these changes in the social organization of Tamang economy and the implications for this population struggling with finite resources.
