Less than worthless.......2006-02-17

I gave this book one star because it does, in fact, contain sample resumes and cover letters. But it contains nothing else! And the examples look like generic resumes to me; certainly nothing geared toward those re-entering the job market.

The book is broken into three parts. The first is a few pages of work sheets where you write in your job history/experience/education.

The second part is devoted to sample resumes.

The last is a collection of cover letters.

But nowhere is there any information as to why these examples were used. This is just a trip through a personnel person's file cabinet, nothing more.

Book Description

This text reinterprets the history of labor internationalism. It examines the old internationalism of labor and socialism, and the present one of the new radical-democratic social movements, such as that of women and feminism. It argues for a "new global solidarity" that relates to a globalized, informatized, complex and radicalized capitalist modernity. This new internationalism addresses multiple global social problems and democratic movements. It both learns from the social theories and provides a complement to them.

A timely and visionary book.......1998-12-01

`New Internationalisms' is a timely and visionary book. It stands on the cusp of critique and prescription, as being both an account of internationalism and a manifesto on how it should or could develop. It is an important contribution to debates on the possibilities of internationalism, that have raged for at least 150 years, since the publication of the Communist Manifesto. The author has been involved in these issues for much of his life, and the book is the outcome of political involvement as much as academic interest. The opening chapter invites the reader on a 'voyage of discovery, a voyage simultaneously professional, political and personal' (9), much later, in the postscript, this is clarified as a journey 'from proletarian and socialist internationalism to a cross-class and democratic one' (247). There is recognition that labour internationalism was always cross-class, and that 'the bearers of internationalism have customarily been middle-class intellectuals', and importantly, the author recognises himself in this image, and explores the logic of the role, revealing all the frustrations and inspirations of his 'many years in the wilderness' (247-53). The book ends with Edward Thompson's aspiration to an 'international of the imagination'. Taken as a whole, New Internationalisms is a seven part journey that argues for this imagination, and for the 'global solidarity' that expresses it.

No one provides more profound insight into internationalism.......1998-10-08

Global capital is building a new world, but there's a spectre haunting it. While Communism as we knew it has evaporated, mass strikes and upheavals rage in dozens of countries and insurgent networks spread their tendrils across the borders of nations and regions. The outsiders are raising fists - and joining hands - in ways the architects of corporate globalism never anticipated. No one provides more profound insight into the meaning of the new transnational struggles than Peter Waterman. Read `Globalization, Social Movements and the New Internationalisms' to get the inside story of the outside story.

(Jeremy Brecher, author of `Strike!', `Global Village or Global Pillage', radio producers, film-maker.)

A scholarly and passionate argument for internationalism.......1998-04-08

Since the collapse of official communism, the left has been incapable of reformulating a cogent internationalist position. Waterman insists that the end of the desicated, state-centric forms of socialism should be seen as an opportunity to recover a humanist and emancipatory tradition. He convincingly shows that the aims of the `alternative' or `new' social movements are not in opposition to the labour movement. The links between the labour and feminist movements are especially well portrayed. Passionately written by an activist and a scholar, this book will aid the long climb back by the left to political and intellectual credibility.

Book Description

TWO EYES APPEARED, barely visible in the darkness of the drainpipe. When the face broke into light, it wasn't a rabbit, but the pointed nose of a skunk. Bub had his stick started in a swing before he realized what he was about to hit. He let the stick go spinning into midair. The skunk came shuffling out of that drainpipe fairly unconcerned. Unfortunately for us all, both dogs dived into the poor skunk.

A book of the heart that paints a true picture of life........1999-10-05

Being raised not 5 miles from the location of the book in Osage County and only 13 years latter I felt I was reading a story of my life. This is a great book for young and old who love to hear stories like those told by your Grandparents on the front porch sipping tea in the cool Oklahoma evening. A must have for anyone who loves books of life and the realities that come with it.

A good, quick read, however incomplete.......2007-08-09

True, this does delve into the divorce of Marr/Morrissey, as well as the inner workings of a great band on the brink of international success and stardom. What could have been...

Morrissey's face, his howling & wailing plastered on billboards and television screens. This wasn't what he wanted at the time, now I can see. The breakup came at the peak and soon the split made them all artists in their own right, with Morrissey 's solo act now conjuring eight albums and more top ten hits than the Smiths entire history.

However, Rogan didn't get his side of the story. Sure, Morrissey could be controlling and introverted; this is why he appeals to us. He didn't get much out of Morrissey in terms of dialogue.

The Marr conversations were also truly fascinating. I have a newfound respect for this already legendary songwriter and guitar master. His dealing with Morrissey's emotions, and his firing of anyone Morrissey wasn't into at the moment was truly another alarming and perfect account of how Rock Stars might do the weirdest things, isn't it?

All in all, I read this just now in a few days, and it is now 2007, with Morrissey still touring on his own and Marr joining the band Modest Mouse. It is safe to say that they are both doing well, and the book is now quite old. Maybe this mythical Boxed Set can finally come out with Marr & Morrissey digging up the archives together and putting it out for their fans?

Only time will tell...for now, I'll stretch out and wait...

Scathing, unauthorized account provides some insight, but ultimately fails to satisfy.......2007-01-04

Speaking as one Moz fan to another, I know it's tempting to buy this book, as we are all hungry to learn more about the greatest lyricist of the 20th century. What makes it even worse is that Morrissey himself hinted that he was in the throngs of writing a bio--but that was way back whilst promoing the Quarry LP, and the wait is hard to bear for us devotees. Still, if you're considering slapping out your hard earned cash for this trash let me just give you a couple of words of advice: If you must get it, get it used. (It really isn't worth it, though--really!). First off, the title is far more intriguing than anything actually IN the book, so don't "judge it by the cover." And, although there is a section on Morrissey's brief career stint as a music journalist, most of his accomplishments (pre and post Smiths) are rebuked as being just part of the narcissistic confidence we all already know Morrissey has a tendency towards. That being said, I think it's quite difficult to read a book by someone who cannot conceal his disdain of someone so well accomplished, who couldn't get the interview for the book (its unauthorized), and so sets out to write a thinly veiled criticism instead...there is no balance....none. Second, this book addresses none of the points that ultimately make the Moz such a cult icon in the first place: his early life, his alleged estrangement from his father, veganism, love interests, or his bouts with depression. (Nice cover jacket, though).

dont listen to "philmarlowe39" 's review........2005-11-07

Continental Op "philmarlowe39 obviously doesn't know what it means to be a true fan of music. he claims you outgrow the smiths. you dont outgrow great music. its timeless. sure the smiths are great to listen to as a teen, but if you love and understand great song writing and melody then its always great. i get tired of hearing these older folks saying "oh i've outgrow this band and that band" when they mention someone like the smiths. i can understand that if your speaking of mc hammer or madonna but not a group which was as amazing as the smiths. oh and this book was great also. thanks

Best Smiths book on the market, but..........2005-05-26

The Smiths are like your high school sweetheart. You fondly remember all the good times you had together, but don't particularly desire a reunion. The truth for me--and many others like me--is that The Smiths were an integral part of my adolescence. I loved the mixture of Johnny Marr's guitars-upon-jangling-guitars with Morrissey's humorously depressing lyrics. As a rhythm section Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce proved more than capable of Moz and Marr's virtuosity. However, it's been years since I plopped "The Queen Is Dead" into my CD player. The strange truth about The Smiths is that people seem to outgrow their music.

That being said, fans (both old and new) of this 1980s Mancunian quartet won't be disappointed with Johnny Rogan's exposé of what went on behind the scenes during the band's five-year run (1982-87).

As a matter of fact, considering The Smiths' importance in rock music, it's amazing that so little (in terms of books) has been written about them and that most of their fanbase knows little about the group aside from their music and the fact they broke up. Perhaps that is the fate of a cult band, even an important one.

Within these pages, Johnny Rogan gives tons of analysis on the Morrissey family, from their origins in the Irish capital of Dublin to their emigration to Manchester. Morrissey's education at a sadistic high school is examined, as well as Johnny Marr's musical awakenings.

We see the group's beginnings and quick ascent as the indie darlings of British rock. We learn of Rourke's heroin habit, Morrissey's passive-aggressive drama queen antics, and the band's inability to hire a qualified manager (which ultimately proved to be their undoing).

The book's strengths lie in Rogan's meticulous research about the band members, their songs, their origins, and those individuals affiliated with the group (producers, managers, roadies, etc.). I was both saddened and amazed to discover just how quickly (and stupidly unnecessary) the band's 1987 break-up was.

The book's weaknesses lie in two areas. First, Rogan has the annoying habit of putting Smiths lyrics in sentences. Heaven knows I'm miserable now just thinking about it. Capisce?

Second, unlike truly great rock bios--like Stephen Davis' "Hammer of the Gods: The Led Zeppelin Saga" and Peter Guralnick's masterful two volume set on Elvis Presley ("Last Train to Memphis"/"Careless Love")--Rogan never captures the AURA of The Smiths. Why were they so important? Why did they matter to so many people? Why was their fanbase so passionately devoted to them? Why does their music still matter? It's much harder to answer these questions and Rogan's failure to do so prevents "Morrissey & Marr: The Severed Alliance" from joining the ranks of the truly great rock biographies.

That being said, it's imporant to note that this book is currently out-of-print, so it only covers up to 1992 (the prickly preface included). The patently greedy and unfair "contract" Morrissey and Marr signed with Rourke and Joyce is discussed, but Joyce's ultimately successful lawsuit against the songwriting duo is only mentioned in its early stages. Considering the bitterness involved (Morrissey still hasn't paid Joyce the money he owes him), I personally doubt The Smiths will ever reunite.

BOTTOM LINE: This book is a must-buy for Smiths fans. It's very good, not great, but still a worthy read.

Seperating the Artist from the Music.......2004-11-28

When i began reading this book i held morrissey in high praise. the smiths have been a constant in my music collection for around 10 years so i was unprepared to read what i did in this book. Well researched, well written, and extremely honest, i am now able to seperate the artist from the music; meaning: just because the artist (s) may be asses does not mean that the music will automatically suck. i REALLY enjoyed reading this book, as many questions were answered, such as the Myra Hindley child killings in Manchester, the reasons behind certain songs, etc. i think that with a clearer picture of the band i can now appreciate the music even more.

Book Description

This book gives an account of the refashioning of ideas about national character in late Victorian culture, with a wide reference to literature and popular culture around the time of the Boer War, and a particular scrutiny of images of the soldier. In specific images, narratives and motifs, the book highlights dynamic tensions, between the external boundaries of empire and those of civil society, and between class antagonisms and national projections. Many new sources and materials are introduced to this field of study.

While Flight Simulator fans continue to wait for Microprose's much-heralded and oft-delayed Falcon 4.0, Jane's Combat Simulations continues to pump out impressive simulations. The latest is Jane's F-15, an amazing jet combat simulator with top-notch graphics and realism. Prima's guide to the game is a bit different than most strategy guides. There are no walk-throughs for a simulator, since missions tend to unfold very differently each time you play them. Instead, the book offers up a heaping helping of information on how to effectively handle your aircraft, your wingmen, and the many, many weapons at your disposal. The guide provides maps and strategies for each mission type, which should prove valuable over the course of the game's lengthy campaigns. Tons of graphs, charts, and tables give you the lowdown on the F-15's capabilities--as well as every other aircraft in the game. The book even contains an 80-page excerpt from the U.S. Air Force's Multi-Command Manual 3-3, a training document read by every real-world F-15 pilot. --Michael Ryan

Book Description

Intelligence files on enemy equipment and vehicles
History and profile of the F-15E; excerpts from actual F-15E manuals
Playtester tips and multiplayer combat strategies
In-depth analysis of mission tactics

Great info on how to win........1999-03-29

This book provides a wealth of excellent information on the Jane's F-15 combat sim. I progressed from a person who had not won a single dogfight to winning almost every single dogfight and destroying every single target I was sent out to destroy over the course of this book.

Good beginners guide to a complicated flight sim.......1998-08-15

If you're new to flight sims and trying to tackle Janes' F-15, then you'll no doubt find this guide to be of great help. More experienced sim-pilots will enjoy the detailed graphs and weapons overviews, but much of the rest of the guide will be of little value for them. Much of the info in the guide is already available in the Expert Manual that came with the simulator. There is good information here for any player of Janes' F-15, but the focus is definately on the less experienced sim pilot.

Technical but still Good!.......2004-07-15

I found these books to be Good to Excellent. They are fairly technical but they also cover a lot of the details that you can expect to find on the exams. I have passed 5 of 7 MCSE tests using these books and practice questions from Transcenders. These questions are helpful because of the long winded, detailed answers. Also, if you really want to learn networking, try the lab videos at trainsignal, www.trainsignal.com, they pick up where the books and questions leave off.

15% coupon expired.......2004-02-06

The listing promises a coupon for 15% off the testing fee, but when the books arrived yesterday, Feb 5th, 2004, the coupon had expired on December 31, 2003.

Find Another Place to start.......2004-01-24

Unless you have the two plus years of experience, or your own Win 2K lab, I would start with the "Jump Start" guides, and the inside scoop for Windows 2000 Pro. The MCSE is an undertaking for the new be, and using these books alone is like tying to learn how to drive a car by opening the glove box and reading the owners manual.

Intermediate/advanced level Books.......2003-07-13

This set of books are written for people who have some experience in the IT field. If you have never worked in the IT field this set of books are useless unless you have live instruction with them. These books are written in what you might call micronese as opposed to easy to read and understand laymans lauguage. The labs in the books assume you have some understanding of MSDOS(CMD). Almost all chapters reference other chapters taking you on a confusing tour of total confusion. I have replaced my set with the Sybex books which takes you step by step through all labs with full easy to understand lauguage.

Attained MCSA !!.......2003-05-15

Along with purchasing the 70-218 book, I used this kit, hands-on experience, and a commercial assessment tool and attained MCSA status. It's Microsoft who offers the certifications, why not use their books? Know your stuff + know what they want you to know = PASS !! For the price of the bundle and the accuracy of the information, you can't go wrong.
