Book Description

What happens to extensive and generous welfare states when they are faced with serious economic crisis and the effects of globalization? This thorough analysis of the processes of social policy restructuring in two Nordic welfare states endeavors to answer this and other questions related to their survival in a world of intensifying global competition.

Virpi Timonen investigates both the changes that have taken place in central social policies in the areas of pensions, unemployment policies, social and health services, and the political and structural reasons for the pattern of policy change that emerged. A critical evaluation of the roles of globalization, political mechanisms and power relationships in shaping these social policies in Finland and Sweden is also featured.

Welfare state specialists and those seeking to understand welfare states as a central constituent of politics in Nordic countries will find Restructuring the Welfare State to be of great interest. The book will also appeal to academics and researchers in the fields of social policy and comparative politics, as well as public and social policy analysts in international organizations such as the OECD and the World Bank.

Book Description

Potter and Youngman describe competitiveness as the ability of individual enterprises to sell goods and services profitably in both domestic and foreign markets. The nation's continued prosperity now depends on the ability of U.S. companies to produce and market goods and services that can compete successfully in both price and quality with foreign companies. It is not widely understood that U.S. employment policy has an important bearing on this country's economic competitiveness, which translates into American capacity to create and provide jobs for American workers. Americans are asking why their traditional jobs and industries are disappearing and why their standard of living is not improving as it did in earlier decades. These questions must be addressed and Keeping America Competitive provides the answers.

Creationism for Dummies.......2005-10-22

I ran a title search for this series (of two) for a friend....not only is it out of print, it's never been reviewed! Disgraceful! Anyone who possesses both an interest in the Divine (i.e Everything from the Exorcist to Dogma) and a decent sense of humour will love these books. The only other author i know of with this level of quick wit is Douglas Adams-high praise indeed! I don't want to choke up the space with a synopsis: the outline for each book is simple. Each involves an outline of the creation of the universe-one from God and the other from Satan. Any self-styled "serious devil-worshippers" may stop right now and Google Anton LeVay instead. These books are great for anyone who can read both The Bible and Monty Python and not have issues with either. As a rough guide (i know these are film references but bear with me), If you like the following, then you'll like "God/Satan"
The Exorcist/Dogma/The Prophecy(just the first one)/Constantine etc. Find a copy...and then lobby to have it re-issued. Enjoy. P.s anyone who expresses the opinion that i will burn in hell for reviewing these books can go jump in the lake; i'll bet my faith in God is stronger than yours

A cross between Douglas Adams, Parke Godwin and James Morrow.......2003-06-03

I like this book. Plain and simple religious satire, without the acidity of Kevin Smith's Dogma or James Morrow's Towing Jehovah/Blameless in Abaddon.
My only regret is that it's sort of a "niche humor" story, with the ability to be (nearly) understood by preteens, but with a rather adult bent (heavy use of "begatting").
I believe this would make a good short film (30 minutes to an hour at most-- there isn't enough story for a longer version), in animated form, with either Tom Bosley or Ed Asner as God.

A cross between Douglas Adams, Parke Godwin and James Morrow.......2003-06-03

Whoa, now.......2002-10-23

Uh, folks, this just isn't all that funny. In fact, it's downright sophomoric. I'm not opposed from some religious standpoint. The literary sin is that the writer just tries way too hard and ends up being silly. There's no flow, no spontaneity. It's an amateurish version of a Mel Brooks skit, nothing more. See "Oh God" the movie for a better story, for better humor. To rank this with Thurber, Wodehouse, Twain, et al. as a great work of humor is inane. Don't waste time with this little piece of nonsense.

Great book.......2002-09-09

As everyone before me said, this is a very memorable read. If you are interested, you can still get copies from the Science Fiction Book Club [website]. Highly suggested.

AN '80's HOLLYWOOD TIME CAPSULE.......2007-04-09

This book, while similar to American Hair Metal, focuses exclusively on the Hollywood scene. Thankful it has more G N'R, Great White, and L.A. Guns than AHM (though it's light on the Dokken). While chock full of photos, this book is filled with way too many band flyers. What's the point of have a section devoted to flyers (pages 128-156) if they're everywhere throughout the book? I guess that's one way to pad out the book without finding more pictures or having to write something original. All in all, an excellent time capsule of Hollywood in it's '80's heyday.

Book Description

The Sunset Strip, home to such legendary venues as The Whiskey, The Roxy, The Viper Room and The Key Club (formerly Gazarri's), first came to prominence in the early 1980's when an army of spandex-clad pioneers emerged from the trashy gutters of downtown Hollywood. In an explosion of youthful exhuberance and truly fantastic performances, the Strip became the breeding ground for the now legendary Guns `N' Roses, Motley Crue, Poison, Jane's Addiction, Quiet Riot and a slew of others. It was a time of celebration, a non-stop party that raged out of the clubs, onto the sidewalks, and though it's been nearly a decade since the height of its popularity, the legend of the Strip lives on in a new full-color photo album, featuring 200 pages of rare and exclusive photos, flyers and press releases from this pivotal era of metal. Whether you missed out on this spectacular epoch or your alcohol-soaked memories could use a little refreshing, Hollywood Rocks! is the most detailed, expansive photo document ever made on the `80s metal scene. See early press photos of Motley Crue or read an early press kit by the then unknown band Warrant; you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll wonder how anyone ever lived through it all as Hollywood Rocks! depicts the scene in all of its vivid debauchery! Rock on!

Customer Reviews:

Glam For Life!!!.......2004-11-19

This book is well worth the price for just the flyers alone. It is thick and large and in full exploding rock and roll color!! Many good Los Angeles bands are featured (Janes Addiction), and a few that never broke big but are still around (Rebel Rebel), and that is what makes this book the bomb. A Box Set CD and DVD companion will be out in 2005, featuring all the bands in the book. This book lets everyone in on the lifestyle that was the Sunset Strip during that time the 80's to 1990. I'm sorry I hadn't thought of the Idea first!!!

Long Live Glam!!!!!!!.......2004-06-18

Great Pictures of some of the great forgotten bands of the 80s. This book is a must for people who lived or was in a band through the era and for people who would love to know more on those underground Glam Sleaze Bands. Well worth it.

Book Description

The idea that radical adult educators should build civil society through social movements is the dominant paradigm within the adult education left today. This work is the first book-length treatment on the subject of social movement and civil society theory within radical adult education. The author covers the history and current status of social movement and civil society theory within radical adult education and the left generally. This historical survey reveals how the current dichotomy between radical pluralist and socialist perspectives that prevails within radical adult education is a result of debates over globalization, postmodernism, and the left's understanding of the demise of most socialist states. The book concludes with a reconceptualization of Gramsci's use of civil society and its implications for contemporary radical adult education theory and practice, arguing, unlike others, that Gramsci did not advocate building civil society but proletarian hegemony.

Customer Reviews:

What others are saying:.......2003-10-29

Endorsement From Peter Mayo Associate Professor, University of Malta:
John Holst helps bring the historical materialist tradition back into the reckoning in the literature on radical and transformative adult education. This inspiring book is a must for anyone interested in the area of adult education for social transformation as part of a larger and more comprehensive struggle for economic redistribution and social justice.

Endorsement From Tara J. Fenwick Associate Professor, University of Alberta:
Here is a bold and incisive argument, calling adult educators to account....Joining scholars like Allman and Youngman, Holst restores a robust vision of revolutionary praxis in a desperate world.

Endorsement From Mark Murphy, Ph.D. Lecturer in Education, University of Stirling, Scotland:
Those who espouse to be 'radical' adult educators need to get themselves a copy of John Holst's book. In a brave and unambiguous approach to civil society and social movements, Holst provides a compelling and lucid case for reasserting a Marxist socialist agenda for adult education.

Endorsement From Paula Allman author, Revolutionary Social Transformation:
Theoretically grounded in Marx, Gramsci, and Lenin, this is the book we've waited for and the book we need. The clear articulation of the relationship between social movements and civil society makes Holst's work absolutely essential reading for radical/critical educators.

Endorsement From Nelson Peery League of Revolutionaries for a New America:
This uncompromising, deeply theoretical, understandable polemic is needed for educators in classrooms, in unions, on the soap box or the internet.

Endorsement From Stephen Brookfield Distinguished Professor, University of St. Thomas, Minnesota:
Holst blends theoretical sophistication with activist momentum to argue for the enduring relevance of a socialist vision of adult education.

Endorsement From Kjell Rubenson, Ph.D. Professor of Adult Education, University of British Columbia:
A brilliant contribution to the radical tradition of adult education. Holst convincingly demonstrates how progressive adult education scholars have used the writings of Marx, Gramsci, and Freire in selective and problematic ways. The author provides a thoughtful and inspirational way of returning to the fundamental ideas of these thinkers.

Customer Reviews:

More small scripts emerge as giants.......2006-07-06

This book includes even more "forgotten gems" from
the original "Twilight Zone" - from the fourth and fifth
seasons of the show. "The Incredible World of Horace Ford",
"What's In the Box", "The Encounter", "Number 12 Looks Just Like You", and "Come Wander With Me" - not all of which were
good episodes but the scripts read way better than the episodes on TV actually are. There are two versions of "Horace Ford" and "Number 12", so this book is about twice the size of Volume 1. And, a bonus item is included, "Dreamflight" by William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson (which was never produced on TV). The commentaries by Ramage are, once again, superb,
and they include anecdotes from some of the actors who are still living.

Small scripts emerge as giants!.......2005-07-06

I loved reading this book. I've been a big fan of TZ since I was about six years old and these Zone Scripts books just keep coming out...Hamner, Matheson, George Clayton Johnson, Beaumont, Serling, and now this one. I LOVE the stories when I watch them on TV, but reading them is even more of a thrill. They are really great as literary pieces, just like the intro of the book says. The commentaries are really insightful too. I have been reading the COMPANION guide by Marc Scott Zicree for many years and I am sick of reading his comments. He's way too critical, whereas Ramage wields a strong pen and gives them exactly the kind of comments they deserve. I kind of wish there had been some production shots in this book like there are in the Serling Scripts book, but that's a minor point. A great book for any Zone fan.

Gems Not Forgotten.......2005-06-21

Any true Twilight Zone Fan can tell you Rod Serling was a great writer , but although he was the main contributing writer to one of the greatest series in television history , he didn't do it alone, There were many that were responsible for bulk of great scripts that Mr Serling did not create.Richard Matheson,George Clayton Johnson , Jerry Sohl and Earl Hamner were all great writers that contributed more than a few scripts to the series,and all have had there works published in one form or another for fans to read and enjoy.But What about those other few "Forgotten Gems" that have fallen thru the cracks? I was more than excited to purchase this book , full of information about each script , the production process and actor/directer info, Andrew Ramage pays tribute to those writers of the series,that are some times over looked for thier great contributions to "The Twilight Zone" legacy .Episodes include " The Chaser", "Long Distance Call", "The Trouble With Templeton","Dead Man's Shoe's"and"I Dream Of Genie" . An unproduced concept script called "Pattern For Doomsday"(which was a great addition for me)is also included.Overall the collection is a great display of classic ideas from the begining of the television era,presented with great respect from Ramage, these scripts can now be enjoyed by sci fi fan's ," Twilight Zone Fan's or anyone that enjoy's a great story.

The lesser-known TZ writers emerge from shadow..........2005-05-21

Kudos to Andrew Ramage for assembling this collection (the first of two parts), which turns the spotlight on a few of Twilight Zone's neglected writers and scripts.

In fine fashion, this book rounds out the line-up of Twilight Zone script books currently available. Releases from the distant and recent past have provided collections of the TZ work of Rod Serling, Charles Beaumont, Richard Matheson, Earl Hamner, George Clayton Johnson and Jerry Sohl. FORGOTTEN GEMS FROM THE TWILIGHT ZONE fills in the gaps by providing a look at the work of several non-core writers who contributed to the show.

These scripts may not be the most memorable of the TZ series, but they all hold a certain charm for fans of the show and classic television, and certainly stand on their own as entertaining entries. "Long Distance Call" and "The Trouble with Templeton" are particularly interesting scripts, and it's nice to have them in published form for easy reference. This book also presents a welcome treat by printing Charles Beaumont's story concept for the unproduced story "Pattern for Doomsday."

Revisit the lost art of television writing and enjoy FORGOTTEN GEMS FROM THE TWILIGHT ZONE.
