      Book Description

      One of the few studies of how the elderly help others through formal and informal volunteerism. While a large number of studies focus on the help older people receive from relatives and friends, this work examines the many ways in which older people are involved in giving care to others. Written by a sociologist and based on a stratified sample of hundreds of individuals, this study assesses a number of dimensions of care giving. While much of this labor goes unnoticed, it is central to the building and maintenance of family and community ties, and reveals ways in which social life is organized around aging, gender, and marriage. Patterns of formal volunteerism and informal care are studied in relation to age, sex, marital status, and other important variables that affect this essential but underplayed aspect of American community life.

      Book Description

      During World War II, American women entered the workforce in unprecedented numbers, and many of them relied on federally funded child care programs. At the end of the war, working mothers vigorously protested the termination of child care subsidies. In Citizen, Mother, Worker, Emilie Stoltzfus traces grassroots activism and national and local policy debates concerning public funding of children's day care in the two decades after the end of World War II.

      Using events in Cleveland, Ohio; Washington, D.C.; and the state of California, Stoltzfus identifies a prevailing belief among postwar policymakers that women could best serve the nation as homemakers. Although federal funding was briefly extended after the end of the war, grassroots campaigns for subsidized day care in Cleveland and Washington met with only limited success. In California, however, mothers asserted their importance to the state's economy as "productive citizens" and won a permanent, state-funded child care program. In addition, by the 1960s, federal child care funding gained new life as an alternative to cash aid for poor single mothers.

      These debates about the public's stake in what many viewed as a private matter help illuminate America's changing social, political, and fiscal priorities, as well as the meaning of female citizenship in the postwar period.

      4 out of 5 stars A different time.......2004-06-23

      Stoltzfus studies the roughly twenty years after World War 2, and the social attitudes in the United States towards women, in that time. She found that picking the topic of whether a government (federal or state) should offer child care to women in the workforce was a good focal point. It let her study the women's efforts to get this maintained after the war years, when it was introduced as an emergency measure. Plus, the reactions of the lobbied politicians and bureaucrats were typical of the prevailing social attitudes towards working women.

      It really has not been that many years ago. Yet the echoes from these pages makes it seem like another era. Probably it was. When any employer could fire a female employee soley because she got married, or pregnant, with any risk of opprobrium.

      The book also goes into the intertwining of the child care issue with that of race. How, in this pre-civil rights time, many women who had to work were Negro. Which naturally made harder the lobbying of white legislators.

        5 out of 5 stars The rise and fall of the steel and mining industry.......2002-11-08

        After The Smoke Clears: Struggling To Get By in Rustbelt America by Steve Mellon (a journalist and staff photographer for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) is an informed and moving chronicle of the rise and fall of the steel and mining industry in America. A tale of the communities surrounding the employment bounty of the steel mills, and the struggle to survive when the closure of this employment bounty left a void in people's ability to support themselves, After The Smoke Clears is a compelling and highly recommended saga of twentieth-century American history enhanced with black-and-white photography.

            5 out of 5 stars Community Service for the Corporate World.......1999-08-25

            To compete in today's changing business world, corporations are being forced to find ways to adapt and find new ways to reach their customers. "Heroes After Hours" tells of several companies who are meeting this challenge.

            "Heroes After Hours" is a wonderful book about corporations working to improve the lives of the greater community. Individuals in several large corporations took it upon themselves to design and implement community service projects, which their corporation later supported and endorsed. The projects and individuals featured were inspirational- the projects went beyond the normal and conventional volunteer projects. The projects are praise-worthy and truly inovative.

            As the author demonstrates volunteerism and community service help more than just the recipent. Community service and volunteering improves everyones lives. Reading this book demonstrated that corporate America has the ability to adapt and help others in need.

            5 out of 5 stars Evidence that "Earth Angels" are among us in the workplace........1998-07-25

            Most people who initiate a volunteer program would agree, it's not for the recognition. Hats off to these authors for bringing to light numerous examples of true "Hero's After Hours." I'm sure the individuals who are featured appreciate the well-deserved recognition.

            This book is a wonderful blueprint for initiating a volunteer program. It provides fresh, timely ideas for those who are searching for a worthy cause to support. It offers examples of corporate commitments which can make the difference when presenting ideas to upper management.

            Even if the reader isn't interested in starting a volunteer effort, this book will surely warm their heart and perhaps spur individuals to get involved somewhere - every single effort counts!

                    2. Think of a yes/no question you need the answer to. If you already know the answer, there's really no point in asking the book.

                    3. Pick up the book, concentrating on your question. If you're already holding the book, you can skip this step.

                    4. Resist the urge to go jellyfishing.

                    5. Ask your question out loud, unless it's really embarrassing.

                    6. Rub your fingers along the edges of the book's pages until it feels right to stop.

                    7. STOP!

                    8. Open the book to the page you stopped at. Read what it says. That's the anwer to your question.

                    NOTE: Some pages let you know that the book wasn't quite ready to answer your question. Simply wait a little while (approximately the amount of time it takes to eat a Krabby Patty), then ask your question again, following the instructions above.

                    ANOTHER NOTE: Some answers are very clear. Some aren't. You may have to interpret the answers just as you interpret a fortune cookie.

                    ONE LAST NOTE: This book tastes nothing like a fortune cookie, so don't eat it, no matter what Patrick says.

                    Book Description

                    Keith Stein was already a phenomenal clarinetist when he attended the very first session of the National Music Camp at Interlochen, Michigan. Stein was then accepted into the Chicago Symphony, and became on of its youngest members. He earned a master of music degree at the University of Michigan, and his teaching career began at Michigan State University and Interlochen, where he remained for the next 41 years until he retired. Within this book, the author makes the player aware of all the many faulty habits he/she may have acquired, then offers constructive suggestions for remedying each one.

                    5 out of 5 stars Clarinet fundamentals.......2004-11-08

                    It's easy to play a clarinet poorly. Plenty of people do just that. They learn how to play the clarinet in order to be in their high school bands, and they don't learn it all that well.

                    That's why there is a need for this book, which teaches the basics really well and explains how to avoid many of the more fundamental errors made by those who are learning to control this marvellous instrument.

                    Even if you are a young clarinetist, it isn't too early to read this book. And if you want to learn the fundamentals of how to play the clarinet, this is the place to start.

                    One more suggestion: don't stop with this book. Try some of the clarinet music the author suggests. And I'd also recommend Brymer's book "Clarinet," for some useful but more advanced material on clarinet acoustics.

                    2 out of 5 stars Content quality marred by poor print quality.......2000-10-24

                    Light print on all pages pages fades into almost unreadably light in a few pages. The print quality of this booklet detracts from the content of this book. If you want some good information about clarinets, but don't mind straining your eyes with an inferior quality publication, this would be for you.

                    5 out of 5 stars Best Clarinet book I've ever seen!.......2000-01-18

                    This book is a must for both amateurs and professionals. The book has many solutions to common and uncommon problems, as well as detailed instructions. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK.

                    5 out of 5 stars An excellent introduction for the student of the clarinet.......1998-01-16

                    This book has been an indispensible aid in learning to play the clarinet. Not only does it answer a myriad questions I had as a beginner, but it gives detailed advice on infrequently documented procedures. For example, there are chapters on the mouthpiece, reed, clarinet, embouchure, relaxation, breathing and support, voicing the tone, tonguiing, fingers, tone quality, intonation, high-register playing, technique, resistance, rhythm, legato, and phrasing. I haven't found any other book that covers half of the subjects. Much less with the lucidity and detail of Mr. Stein. I highly recommend this book.

                    Dr. Pino is my professor right now and this book is almost like having a lesson with him. Besides the fact it's full of everything you would have ever wanted to know about the clarinet. Dr. Pino is in my opinion first hand with lessons and second hand with this book THE clarinet guru!!

                    5 out of 5 stars The Clarinet and Clarinet Playing.......2006-02-01

                    This is a very informative book. There are tons of tips and information that is simply invaluable. I recommend this to any serious clarinet player to have in their library.

                    5 out of 5 stars an excellent book.......2004-05-19

                    I'm a clarinetist myself, and I found this book to be very informative. True that he mentions aspects of playing that I disagree with, or he mentions things my teacher already advocates, but he has a ton of ideas that I would not have thought about otherwise.

                    5 out of 5 stars Great Book.......2002-11-28

                    This book has helped me very much with techniques and embouchure and so much more.I love the section on teaching ...it helps out alot.I think this is a wonderful book and I recomend it.It is like my second bible!

With this easy-to-follow guide, a beginner will soon understand how the instruments work and how to assemble them, get the science behind the sound, master musical language and the techniques for fingering and tonguing, and play such pieces as a theme and variations by Mozart and George Gershwin's Summertime. Charts throughout provide at-a-glance guidance that novices will appreciate.

                                      Symbolizing both commerce and culture, London has always been a magnet for the ambitions of the middle classes. However, the past three decades have witnessed a dramatic fragmentation in inner-city Londons social map. New and highly distinctive middle-class neighbourhoods have sprung up where embattled workers seek to combat the deleterious effects of long working hours, travel, and stress on traditional family values. This book is the first to explore the powerful impact of globalization on Londons economy and those who are caught up in it. More and more people are responding to the negative effects of working life as well as the lack of structure in their lives and particularly those of their children. The gentrification of certain areas and the differences among them directly reflects this desire to impose cultural values and structure on urban surroundings. How do these areas reflect middle-class values, ideologies, lifestyles, social backgrounds and occupational choices, and how have old neighbourhoods been refashioned and made amenable to middle-class life? In what ways has family life been affected by this new emphasis on values, structure and security, and what does the future hold? This fascinating book provides the first sustained analysis of the profound effects of globalization on city dwellers. Its original account of the relationship between urban space and cultural reproduction will inspire new research for years to come.

                                        4 out of 5 stars Somewhat informative book for version Act! 2004.......2006-03-17

                                        I didn't learn too much from this book as I have been using Act! 2004 for a couple years now and have already stumbled across most of the features I need to know. It would be good book for a novice to buy. It is written well and has a user-friendly format.

                                        3 out of 5 stars A book on Act 2000.......2005-09-14

                                        I had been using Act 2000 for a long time, and this year I purchased Act 2005. If you are an Act 2000 fan, it is for you. But the many new options, interface (and bugs) of Act 2005 made this book outdated.

                                        4 out of 5 stars Great book for on-the-spot answers.......2005-03-19

                                        If you, or many people in your organization, use ACT! day-to-day, for general contact management (but you're not trying to "split the atom" with it), than this book is a great, general purpose go-to book for quick, simple, straight-forward answers.

                                        Easy to use, well-written, nice screen caps. There is, however, very little information in here about more advanced items (such as using the ACT! developer API/SDK).

                                        5 out of 5 stars Act and how to use it.......2001-11-27

                                        Having purchased a copy of this book I was quickly able to undertand how the software could be made to work for me. My sales team all have a copy and this has lead to the team having an increase in sales and productivty by 25%. This book will help everyone do everything with Act.
