Book Description

An important flagship study from the ILO, the World Labour Report 2000 examines the changing context in which women and men are trying to achieve income security for themselves and their families. Drawing from detailed worldwide data, this edition assesses the impact of globalization and liberalization, and considers the vital role played by social protection in supporting, supplementing, and replacing market incomes.

The Report highlights the forces at work in creating growing insecurity for many income earners. It discusses the effects of rising unemployment and underemployment, as well as labor market developments that have exposed a growing number of workers--especially women--to low pay and precarious conditions. It considers other factors, such as changing family structures and demographic trends that have created new needs and imposed new constraints. In addition, this wide-ranging study examines existing measures to protect against major contingencies, such as old age, incapacity for work, bearing and raising children, and unemployment.

The Report finds that the positive impact of social protection on the economy has often been neglected and that this impact can be enhanced by a better coordination between social protection, labor market, and anti-poverty policies. With many social security systems now under reform, future prospects are outlined and an alarm is sounded about the implications of pension fund growth for the instability of global financial markets. Top priority, the Report says, must be given to finding the most effective means to bring social protection to the majority who still go without.

Really complete........2005-06-01

This is the final and complete collection of the "My Word" stories. I believe there are five My Word books and at least one other compilation. This is the one you want to get if you can find it.
The My Word stories are an entirely new and unique form of humorous prose. At the end of every My Word program, Muir and Norden were each assigned a famous line or title. They then told a story that ended with a pun based on the line.
Sometimes the stories went into bizarre fantasies designed to set-up the pun. Other times the story was loose collection of elaborate puns.
If you enjoy puns and British humor in general, you will love this book. It has some of the funniest ideas I have ever read. It's often reminiscent of the best of Wodehouse.
The personae Muir and Norden develop for themselves over the years are classic. They will be familiar to you in a few pages.
I can't recommend this book too highly.

Book Description

Bjork is the most successful radical rock experimentalist of her generation. Contrary, inimitable, and gloriously her own, she has awed her famously dedicated fans for more than a decade with a swooping, querulous voice that has been likened to a glass not quite breaking. Bursting onto the Icelandic musical scene with a precocious album at the age of 11 and a series of releases in the 1980s that notably include her work with the Sugar Cubes, Bjork soon found herself gaining international renown as she released the jazzy Gling-Glo and her breakout solo album Debut. Since then the superstar wordsmith has continued to produce idiosyncratic, well-received works. In 1995 Bjork combined hit-making tunes with her maverick sounds to produce Post, and then after working with an army of collaborators, Telegram. Two years later, Homogenic took listeners on a compelling journey through the outer reaches of electronica. Again abruptly switching directions, Bjork starred as a blind mother in the critically acclaimed Dancer in the Dark, producing the renowned Selmasongs soundtrack. Returning to explorations of herself the next year, she produced Vespertine, an intimate and sensual fan favorite that continues to sell well. Drawing on years of experience covering Bjork and her industry, music journalist Ian Gittins explores and celebrates the creative processes and motivations behind her amazing career and musical history. With 70 color and black-and-white photographs, Bjork is a must-have for her legions of devoted fans.

Customer Reviews:

Maybe 5 stars, hard to say.......2006-02-18

I've always thought that Bjork was just the loveliest lady, but I haven't seen or heard much of her. Yesterday I picked up this book at Barnes and Noble for $4.98, yes that's four ninety-eight, and it is just chock-full of so many pictures and clear tidy text that I am very impressed. It may not be the most in-depth work about her, but it seems fairly accessible, and she is not terribly well-known beyond a certain reputation as being a bit "out there." She's an artist, not a commodity like so many musicians, and it's not what we expect, and people forget to look beyond the far-out sound bite or video clip.

The Words Of Bjork.......2005-03-07

This is a good reference book if you want to know what Bjork is saying AND meaning in her songs. This book has helped me understand some of her Icelandic accent, which I think is awesome. Some of her songs get so twisted in my head, (I am always changing lyrics anyway) that I have to use this book to know what she is really saying. I have lots of fun with the English language, Bjork does speak very well, but if you have a hearing problem like I do, this book will make for good reading.
This book has mostly all of her songs, the reasons why she wrote them, it opens up a whole new realm for any Bjork fan.
The photography is great, also. Bjork is a Beautiful Icelandic Princess with much talent.

there's more to life than this.......2003-08-21

my mom brought this book back for me from london, because at that time (last november) it was next to impossible to find in the states. the book looks nice on the outside. nice oversized book, with thick glossy paper. and the idea of the book is nice, the story beihnd every song + info on the cubes/gling-glo and early stuff.

however, the book does fall a little short, content wise. the information gathered is mostly pretty well known (keep in mind i am a total björk dörk :p ) but the pictures in the book totally make up for the (lack of) content! there were so many pics i have never seen before, and huge, oversized glossy pictures! i was in heaven :)

i was really hoping for more information about the sugarcubes, which is why this book didn't get a 5 star rating! they only talked about the 'cubes, and didn't get in to the meaning behind the songs.

a fine start for a curious wannabe bjork fan.......2003-02-08

I guess since I've been a Bjork fan for a while now, I was hoping to find some new insight into her songs through this book. If you want to learn the intentions and meanings behind Bjork songs, you're better off going to her website or searching online for interpretations or interviews. This book, while providing some solid background information about Bjork, does not provide too much information about the songs themselves. It seems that the author took random quotes and tried to apply them to the songs as he saw fit. The timeline is useful, and pictures are gorgeous. The descriptions for each song are not more than a couple of paragraphs each, far too short to even get an introduction for a Bjork song. It is a good collector's item--that's why I bought it. But if you're looking for some answers, like, what do those bjorkish words mean?, look somewhere else...like the 4um

Bjork Fans Need This.......2003-01-30

A fine overview of Bjork's career, with lots of good photos, and a track-by-track discussion of each album, beginning with her pre-teen "Bjork" effort and concluding with "Vespertine." (There's also a discussion of all B-sides and collaborations.) Mr. Gittins is apparently not a musician--he can't tell a recorder from a flute and describes a sitar as "Indian strings"--but he's otherwise well-informed and appreciative of Bjork's genius without going overboard. Highly recommended to Bjork fans.

A terrific look inside the television industry........2006-01-08

Sherwood Schwartz makes no high-culture claims about "Gilligan's Island." It is a fantasy sit-com (albeit one with an underlying theme of diversity and community). This book takes a wonderful look at what Mr. Schwartz went through to get his vision (like it or not, the concept was created by Mr. Schwartz, and Mr. Schwartz alone) on the air. From network executives who tried to change everything about his show, to casting, to scoring and more. Whether you like "Gilligan" or not, you have to admire Mr. Schwartz's guts and tenacity in seeing his idea through to fruition. Thanks for reading.

True, "No man is an Island," but Donne forgot about Gilligan.......2003-06-19

Whatever you think of "Gilligan's Island" (a classic "idiot" sitcom comes to my mind) you have to appreciate that the show's creator Sherwood Schwartz is the one that wrote "Inside Gilligan's Island." The volume promotes itself as "A three-hour tour through the making of a television classic," and within these pages fans of the show will find out where the Howells got all those clothes, learn if Gilligan and the Skipper ever got hurt when the coconuts hit them on the head, discover what was "Lovey's" real name, and shudder to find out what kind of a pet the studio almost gave Gilligan. All of the cast members, even Tina Louise, make brief appearances in the book's Forewords, and the pages are filled with the rare publicity stills you would hope to find, including some nice color shots.

"Inside Gilligan's Island" is worth reading for students of television simply for the story of how Schwartz got the show on the air in the first place, which includes the "original" calypso version of the theme song ("Off Florida coast many hundred miles, Is tropical sea full of tropic isles...") and the "complementary" casting of Dawn Wells and Tina Louise (whatever disparaging comments you may rightful inflict upon this television show the Mary Ann or Ginger choice is now a time honored right of passage for adolescent males in this country). Actually, most of the book is devoted to the story of how "Gilligan's Island" got on the air. The show does not actually do so until chapter 22 of 35. Despite all the jokes about the show, it was a hit that managed to win its time period the first three years on the air despite being on three different nights and three different time periods. The final half-dozen chapters have to do with the assorted sequels that found the Castaways rescued, dealing with the Harlem Globetrotters, and other strange fates ("Gilligan's Island: The Musical").

The result will be something of a treat for fans of the series and contain enough stories about the machinations of Hollywood to be of benefit to others as well. The first Appendix provides rather detailed synopses of the 98 episodes of "Gilligan's Island," with Schwartz even providing themes for each episode so that the reader is aware there is more than comedy going on when a crate washes into the lagoon containing a lion ("Feed the Kitty"), but a life lesson ("You can never be sure you've taken the 'wild' out of wild animals"). A second Appendix provides synopses of the various movies and specials as well.

Wrote the series great, wrote the book OK........2002-04-15

Inside Gilligan's Island is an interesting but not spectacular book on the creation of a television phenom. If you are a Gilligan fan it will likely be a must read. If you are not it will be a mixed bag for you.

Mr. Schwartz does a great job describing the battles to get the show made and gets the pages turning as we wonder if his series will ever be what he wants it to be.

Unfortunately as the book reaches its later chapters it is evident that he has run out of things to say. The last three chapters are a positive chore to read.

The epidsode guide is interesting and is many of the behind the scenes production stories, this likely differs greatly from the cast members stories which deal more with the actual production etc.

Throughout the book however it seems that Mr. Schwartz is preaching. Now when he put wanted to make a social point with the series he wrote it funny (such as using his own example the implicet respect for marriage see episode 68 Mr. & Mrs.) and taught the lession without giving a speech, we get the speech in the book and its just dulls you away.

I did like the book, I don't know if I'd like it enough to buy it again, but I like it enough to read it again.

A MODEST MAN SHERWOOD IS NOT.......2001-07-21

I have always been a great fan of Gilligan's Island but this book by its creator leaves a lot to be desired. Mr. Schwartz obviously went through a lot getting the show on the air but his description of his efforts seems to be very self-centered and like one man's battle against all odds. Even if this was true, it might have been better if someone else had written it. The book was not about the show so much as it was about Sherwood Schwartz.

Mr. Schwartz also seems to blame others for the show's demise and failure to be revived in the late 1970s following the "Rescue From Gilligan's Island" movie. I agree that I thought the show died a pre-mature death. But the success of the "Rescue From Gilligan's Island" movie was probably more attributable to curiousity than to its entertainment value. The original movie was disappointing and subsequent sequels were dismal. He deserves credit for a fun and entertaining TV show but he also deserves criticism for less fun and less entertaining TV shows thereafter.

The Best Gilligan's Island Book I have ever read!!.......2000-08-22

This book is packed with information about Gilligan's Island . This book tells how Mr. Schwartz picked each member on Gilligan's Island. It to him awhile to find the right Skipper. But then he went to a resturant he found the perfect Skipper! This book is great you have to read it to put how good the book really is in words!

Customer Reviews:

At least the simulated exam software was good .......2006-04-27

To be fair, the author describes this book to be a supplement to more comprehensive material. However, I don't feel the author did well with organizing the material. Even though it's supposed to contain only the essential 20% of the material you need to know, there is still a lot of material. The problems arise when you feel your memory is vague in a particular area. It's nearly imposible to go back and find the section of the book that focuses on that area in a reasonable amount of time. The simulated exams are excellent, but it might be helpful to know that there are questions on them that you will not find the answers to in the book. Another item to note is that the exam software that comes with the book is not on a supplemental CD, but is online. The book just gives you the URL a password. This means that if you can find a copy of the book to obtain the URL and password, you'll have the most valuable part of the book.

Gimmick Advertising But Decent Book.......2004-12-01

First off I would like to comment on how the advertising of this book misleads you to think you will receive a $120US (40%) discount off from the A+ exams fees. What they don't tell you is that once you get the book you find out you have to purchase $153US of their course materials online in order to get the 40% discount off the exam price. The other thing the advertising fails to mention is that it is not even offered in Canada.

The book itself is a good supplement to another more all-inclusive A+ book. For the hardware part of the exam I recommend Upgrading and Repairing PCs by Scott Mueller as a reference that provide more depth to the material. Use a comprehensive A+ book that uses A+ 2003 objectives as a guide and use Scott's book to learn the different components of the PC. The more you learn the better you'll do. :)

Update: After taking the A+ exams I recommend getting this book as the testing software it comes with is vital to doing better on the exam. Some of the test questions are even the same as on the actual exam. Another book I found useful was "The A+ Exams Guide", by Chrisopher A. Crayton.
