        Book Description

        In recent years, gender has emerged as an important focus of attention in discourse in and around labour law. Gender is gradually moving from the margin to the mainstream of labour law debate, particularly with the development of a 'family-friendly' policy agenda. This book consists of a series of essays from an international selection of leading legal scholars exploring the shifting boundary between work and family from a labour law perspective. The object is to assess the global implications for labour law and policy of women's changing role in paid and unpaid work. The approaches adopted by the contributors' are diverse, both conceptually and geographically, encompassing analyses from Australia, North America, Canada, the UK, Europe and Japan, and including national and supra-national perspectives. Key themes informing the collection as a whole are the re-positioning of unpaid care work as integral to the performance and structure of productive activity; and consideration of the implications of recognizing the interdependence of work and family activities. In this way, the book seeks to develop a central theme from the previously published 'Labour Law in an Era of Globalization' (Conaghan, Fischl and Klare, eds. OUP), as part of an ongoing exploration into the distributive implications of economic and political globalization.

          Book Description

          Those promoting economic development in the Third World often disregard the disadvantaged position of women or lack adequate information to assess the role of women. This book seeks to remedy that situation by providing a detailed examination of patterns and determinants of female labor force participation in three developing countries: Thailand, Colombia, and Egypt. The analysis is based on detailed interviews with women about factors such as migration patterns, the employment situation, household conditions, and other relevant socioeconomic activities. The result is a comprehensive explanation of female economic behavior in developing countries that forms the basis for a broader understanding of women's economic conditions across culture. For each country studied, the authors focus on women's employment in the capital city. Combining the economic model of household time allocation and the sociological life course perspective, they document the influence of social origins, early work experience, and household conditions on women's labor force participation. Their findings provide valuable new information concerning the status and conditions of women who join the labor force: the resources available to them and constraints on participation; the relationships between household and female employment; and the influence of education on current economic behavior. Based on their research, the authors then propose and discuss various policies which might serve to improve female economic status in developing countries.

            Book Description

            Labor market patterns in Western Europe and the United States in the latter twentieth century, and particularly in the past twenty-five years, have shown a striking resemblance in the overall increase in women's employment. Despite this fact, there are also large differences in women's position among those countries. Moreover, East European countries differ considerably from Western countries. Policy driven by Communist ideology forced women to enter the labor market, and differences within Eastern Europe seem to have been smaller than in the West. At this moment, there is a good deal of country-specific information on women's employment, but a cross-national comparison over time—one that compares women's employment in different institutional settings— is still lacking.

            That is the issue taken up in this volume, which contains comparative studies written by authors from the United States, Hungary, Germany, and the Netherlands. Three different perspectives are used. The first is the macro approach, which provides a thorough, focused understanding of the influence of the institutional context on women's work. The second perspective, the micro approach, gives insight into the employment behavior of individual women within a certain context. Finally, the combined macro-micro approach makes clear the extent to which differences in women's work can be ascribed to differences in their institutional context or to their individual characteristics. Implicitly, the book also addresses the methodological question, which of these approaches is best suited for comparative studies of this kind?

            Despite the convergence in the level of women's employment, the findings of these studies show that differences between countries are still substantial. These differences refer, for instance, to the number of hours women work, their earnings, and their job level. Children have an impact on women's work in all countries, but again, there are differences among institutional settings. In the East European and Scandinavian countries, women face fewer difficulties to combine paid work with domestic childcare. Women's earnings are also less affected by children in those settings where public childcare is widely available. In some countries where public childcare is lacking, employers try to fulfill the needs of working mothers by offering childcare or parental leave arrangements. These are only a few examples of insights into differing circumstances in women's employment that are provided in this book, which make it a contribution both to gender studies and to studies of the sociology of work.

                5 out of 5 stars A GREAT GIFT BOOK!.......2001-12-27

                I love this book so much that I have bought it for many of my friends too. It's such a cute book where the jokes are immediate and very humorous. It's a great book to have on you coffee table to give you a laugh when you need one.

                1 out of 5 stars A Commercial Rip-Off.......1998-08-24

                I bought this book because Luanne is one of my favorite comic strips. However, this is little more than a commercialized rip-off of the strip. It occupied me for only three minutes because it's so short. In addition, what's here tends to focus on the cynical instead of the up-beat. NOT Recommended.

                5 out of 5 stars Great tool for parents who have forgotten those teens years!.......1998-07-20

                This is a great short but sweet book. I like it better, I think, than some of the collection books, however, I wish there were more rules. All those I know who have the book are tickled by the rules Luann has made. She is definitely "with it" more than she thinks. Greg has so much insight to teens today it's a little scary. I wonder if he's really as old as he says he is...? Can't wait for the next book! From Guess Who!

                5 out of 5 stars Finally!.......1998-06-06

                Now that Luann is in a book which I can enjoy time and time again. Thank you, Greg.

                Nicely done, and well done companion CD. Includes versions for backup so you can play lead or front. Nice crisp play so you can hear every note and chord. Use with a computer to slow the tempo. Clean white sheet music. Includes Purple Haze, Fire, Wind Cries Mary, Can You See Me?, Hey Joe, All Along The Watch Tower, Stone Free, Crosstown Traffic, Manic Depression, Remember, Red House and Foxey Lady.

                Missing some signature pieces like Voodoo Child, Little Wing, Drifting, Stone Free and If Six Was Nine - but a very good Hendrix starter. If you want more, try the Jimi Hendrix Anthology now discounted from $20 down to $14 at Amazon. (I got them both.)

                5 out of 5 stars Rick.......2007-03-12

                Karokee for guitar! You gotta love it! Do yourself a favor and buy the upgrade from roni, then you'll be able to play ALL the play-along discs (not just hal leonard). I highly recommend this series to anyone getting started, or for the experienced player without a band. I own over a dozen books, and constantly scan for new releases.

                4 out of 5 stars Just one problem.......2007-02-03

                I got this for one reason. To lurn how to play Voodoo Child just like Jimi did. One problem though. IT DOES NOT HAVE VOODOO CHILD!!! It loses one full star for that alone. How can you sell a guitar book on Jimi Hendrix and not have probably his best guitar peice. Other than that its a great product with some really good music slow down software that is extremely useful

                5 out of 5 stars Great. The music blows you away........2007-01-26

                I bought this just for the cd. It is great. The music is fantastic. The song is played all the way through without stopping. Then the second time it is slowed down so you can learn it. I'm telling you, if you are a Jimi Hendrix fan like me, you got to get this.

                5 out of 5 stars This book converted me.......2006-03-10

                It's true, this book is AMAZING! I got it as a gift, and instead of returning it decided to give it a shot. The transcriptions are clean and easy to follow. The Play-along CD is enhanced so if you put it in your PC you can slow down the tempo without changing the pitch. Plus, the recordings are very true to the originals, and the backing band sounds great. I feel like I sound much better playing with the recorded band, than with my own...but don't tell them that!

                All the Hal Leonard Drum Play-Along Series are well done. This one is especially poignant to the point that we should all know how to play to these songs. After all, this was one of your first albums ever! I promise you, you learn these songs and you will definitely be called up to play one night at a party with some great guitar player and you tell him you know any Jimi song and you'll rock the house down.
                Seriously, the book is straightforwardly laid out. The recordings, both with the drums and with out sound great and are mixed well. The music charts are clear and easy to follow too on bright white paper.
                The Slow-down feature on the CD is fantastic and worth it alone. You can bring the song down to incredible slow speeds with out losing the tone of the song to hear exactly how the parts are played. Getting the entire series, you'll then be able to cover any rock, funk or jazz tune!

                      Book Description

                      Early French Cookery introduces the general features of the food prepared for wealthy French households at the end of the Middle Ages. The volume presents over 100 recipes, drawn from actual medieval manuscripts, together with preparation instructions. The authors help place these enticing recipes in context through a short survey of medieval dining behavior, and they give practical menu suggestions for preparing simple meals or banquets that incorporate these delightfully tasty dishes.
                      Chapters include an overview of early French culinary traditions, foodstuffs that were used, and methods of preparation. Early French Cookery also discusses the equipment of the kitchens and dining rooms that were used, and characterizes those who prepared the food and those who consumed it.
                      The recipes are set out in a modern format, with quantities given in both metric and standard U.S. measurements. Recipes are grouped by category: appetizers, vegetables, fish dishes, desserts, and so forth.
                      Early French Cookery concludes with a fascinating look at a day in the life of a contemporary master chef at a duke's court. We watch Master Chiquart organize the purchase, storage, preparation, and serving of the food consumed by a duke and his dozens of family members, courtiers, staff and servants--and all done without benefit of grocery stores, refrigeration, labor-saving electric appliances, or running water.
                      Early French Cookery will be of interest to a wide variety of people, from those who like to hold unusual parties to those who are interested in the economics of the middle ages.
                      D. Eleanor Scully is an occasional lecturer at the Stratford Chef School and advisor to Wilfrid Laurier University on Medieval and Renaissance cooking and customs. Terence Scully is Professor of French Language and Literature, Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Ontario.

                      5 out of 5 stars Recipies from the Late Middle Ages.......2007-01-15

                      When these people say that these are Early recipies they are not kidding. The recipies in this book date from the late middle ages. These are the dishes that a master chef in the employ of say a regional duke would fix.

                      These recipies have been found in olf manuscripts, and in old books dating from that time. The recipies were then translated into English and then tested. A lot of the spices used in those times frequently had different names than what we use today, so where needed new more current names have been given.

                      Most recipies are of things that we cook today and which will be familar to today's cooks and eaters: Black Pepper Sauce, Shoulder of Mutton, chickens, eggs, fish. Some of the combinations (Scrambled Eggs and Apples) seem a bit unusual for today's tastes, but on the other hand that sounds intriguing enough that it might be worth a try.

                      This is an unusual book in that it shows the origin of modern French cooking. Interesting reading to see the prominence that sauces were playing a prominent role in French cooking so long ago.

                      5 out of 5 stars Cookery Excellence.......2001-05-15

                      I bought this book a few years ago and it was the best cookery book I could have received. Scully uses "Viandier of Talievent", "The Menagier de Paris" and "Du Fait de cuisine" by Chiquart as his sources. As well as giving a little history on the sources he provides a quick lesson on the history of French Cookery and a worthwhile section on ingredients and preparation methods. The recipes in the book are heavily documented (2 or 3 sources) and the reader is provided with the original recipe(usually from Menagier). Then they given a modern easy to follow and adapt for large numbers recipe. This book is a must have for SCA and Medieval Re-enactors who enjoy cooking medievally

                      4 out of 5 stars Early French Cookery.......2000-07-16

                      This is a well organized cookbook. I like that it goes through talking about the customs, ingredient, preparation methods, and recipes. Recipes are workable, and many use common ingredients. Some cookbooks of this genre do not offer reipes that you can actually cook. The honey glazed vegetables are good, as are the leeks in white leek sauce. I would highly recommend this book if you enjoy medieval recipes.

                      Big Night was the loveliest cinematic surprise of 1996, a small, delightful comedy about two brothers who hope to turn their new Italian restaurant into a successful business. Joseph Tropiano, who co-wrote the movie, has not written a conventional screenplay or a standard "novelization." Instead, he has turned his story into a compelling novel. Narrated by the brother-protagonists, the book is a wonderful companion to the movie, but also stands beautifully on its own. As a special treat, Tropiano introduces each of the novel's eleven chapters with a recipe for one of the dishes that appears in the movie!

                      Book Description

                      Set during the early 1950s, this story of love and linguini, purity and compromise--soon to be a major motion picture from MGM--takes a poignant and pointed look at Old World vs. New World values and provides a rueful assessment of the American Dream. In a New Jersey town, two Italian immigrant brothers stuggle to keep their restaurant afloat. Includes recipes.

                      1 out of 5 stars Small........1997-11-25

                      "Big Night" was a wonderful movie. This book, purporting to be a novelization, is about as compelling as Cliff Notes. Moreover, it's promoted as having recipes from the film. Yeah. It includes a recipe for the scrambled eggs they cooked the next morning, but where's the recipe we really want, for the Timpano?

                      3 out of 5 stars Disappointed in recipes chosen for the book.......1997-08-16

                      Purchased the book because of the promise of each chapter beginning with a recipe for one of the dishes from the movie. While technically this was true, I was disappointed in the recipes included in the book. Was expecting to have the recipes from the Big Feast - especially a recipe for the famous Timpano. It was glaringly missing as were recipes for just about all of the dishes served at the Big Night. On the plus side, since a book needs "a lot more words" than the visuals of a movie, there was much description of what was occuring while preparing the meal. Still, that did not make up for the lack of the recipes.

                      It is very basic. I think many people may figure out what to do with their paint pro with included manual. Author should have instructed more on layering and masking with more complicated pictures. I would advice anyone who bought this book also buy Ken McMahon book on a subject. Oh, how much money we as a customer spend on those self-help books. And the thing is we find only one or two brilliant ideas in them. So, buy all books on subject.

                      4 out of 5 stars I learned a lot and I already thought I knew a lot........2006-02-24

                      I got this and Ken McMahon's (and Robin Nichols) book at the same time. I initially thought I was going to like the other book more, but this one became ever-so-slightly the preferred of the two. It's not perfect and I still struggle with layers/masks sometimes, but there are a lot of good tips and tools in this book. I certainly felt like I learned some things, and I considered myself well above average, not quite a power-user, but close before reading it.

                      3 out of 5 stars A general overview.......2005-10-10

                      I really do not understand all the 5 star rating for this book. It is not bad, but it is much more of an overview then a detailed explanation of improving photos with PSP. I guess the title (and the reviews) had me expecting more from this book, but every topic is just generaly covered with not near enough real world improve your photos informaton. It is basically a glorified user-manual and the photograpger's guide in the title is very misleading, im my opinion. I would not recommend this book unless you do not already understand the basics of PSP and how to use the interface. Don't expect many tips if you are a real working photographer.

                      5 out of 5 stars Great Book.......2005-09-23

                      Being slighty familar with an older version of Paint Shop I still order Dummies and Paint Shop Pro 9 Photographers Guide.
                      I was not disappointed. Dummies gets you started but the real meat of Paint Shop Pro is in the Photographers Guide. It is one thing to be able to figure out how to do something, but there a so many things in Paint Shop Pro 9 that most people don't even know that they are there. This book will show you them and how to use them. A lot of nice ideas also. If you fully want to use PSP buy this book

                      I have been looking for a book that would tell me exactly what each tool would do for PSP 9, and this is the ONLY one I could find. Thank goodness it is good! It covers photographs, which is what I deal with creating graphics. And it appears to apply to the new version of Paint Shop Pro that Corel just published. Good investment!
