Suggested Hotel Forms and Procedures, Book 3

Book Description

The Noble Order of the Knights of Labor was the most ambitious and significant labor organization of the Gilded Age. As the charismatic leader of this group, Terence Powderly was America's first nationally known labor leader, the first to achieve a high degree of recognition from working people, industrialists, and politicians across the continent. To most Americans, Powderly was the Knights of Labor. Based on an exhaustive examination of Powderly's voluminous correspondence, this book offers a critical analysis of Powderly's efforts to oversee the most spectacular experiment in class-wide solidarity ever undertaken. Phelan paints a sympathetic and probing portrait of a complex figure caught up in the whirlwind of local and national events. He details the challenges and pressures of labor leadership at a time when industrialization was convulsing the nation, and when the labor movement was struggling to build a viable national institution capable of creating a more egalitarian society. The national focus of this study helps to synthesize the numerous community studies written on the Knights in recent years and offers fresh perspectives on the ultimate meaning of the organization. It is the first detailed examination of the Knights' leadership since the Powderly and Hayes Papers have become available.

Best and most balanced biography to date........2000-03-22

Phelan's biography of Terence V. Powderly, along with his previous works on William Green and John Mitchell, places him in the premiere rank of labor biographers. His task in GRAND MASTER WORKMAN is to present a revised and much more favorable view of Powderly and his fourteen year (1879-1893) tenure as head of the Knights of Labor. Phelan targets the generations of American labor historians, particularly Norman Ware and Philip S. Foner, who dismissed Powderly and the Knights as a last gap of the utopian traditions of the antebellum years which were unsuited to the economic realities of the Gilded Age. This argument was specifically the case in regard to the rise of the rival and ultimately successful American Federation of Labor (AFL) with its more apolitical craft unionism. Powderly himself was charged with, among other things, being sensitive, vain, naive, and arrogant. Recent studies of the Knights, especially on the local level, have transformed the view of the Knights into that of an authentic working-class organization with a convincing critique of industrial capitalism. Unfortunately, the view of Powderly had not been transformed, until now. Phelan's Powderly is not a pusillanimous utopian but a worthy if somewhat flawed hero who articulated the collective progressive vision of the working masses in the face of the oppression and inhumanity of the industrial capitalist system and its leaders which eventually crushed the Knights. Phelan uses the voluminous archival papers of Powderly, on deposit at The Catholic University of America and available on microfilm, to present Powderly in his own words. The liberal use of quotes, such as Powderly's opinion of his former protege and personal Judas, John William Hayes, as a "Skunk" and a "Pimple," are a special treat and a great insight into Powderly's personality. Although the focus was on labor, Phelan could have written more on Powderly's later career as a government official, first as Commissioner-General of Immigration, 1897-1902, then as Chief of the Division of Information of the Bureau of Immigration, 1907-1921, and Commissioner of Conciliation of the Deparment of Labor, 1921 until his death on 24 June 1924. It was during this time that Powderly became a bosom friend and correspondent of the great labor advocate, 'Mother' Mary Harris Jones, the celebrated 'Miners' Angel.' In conclusion, Phelan's GRAND MASTER WORKMAN is the most definitive and balanced account of Powderly's years in the Knights of Labor but a more complete and detailed biography encompassing the rest of his career is still needed.

Customer Reviews:

Funniest book I've ever read, every time I read it!.......2004-02-15

I read the Publishers Weekly review at the top of the page and was stunned at the criticism. Whoever wrote that review has no sense of humor, or is just an idiot. This book is the funniest, most enjoyable book I've ever owned. It was a gift in 1990 and is still entertaining me, my family, and my friends 14 years later. The stories are short and concise, so you can pick it up and start reading anywhere in the book. Maybe it's because I've done some theater and film work that I can identify so easily with the stories in the book. But I believe anyone could read this gem and get endless hours of laughter out of it. BUY THE BOOK!

Book Description

The picture on the cover is of the author of this book—pastor of the Hampton Beach, NH, summer time chapel. The congregation calls him Windy and he calls himself Sacred Agent 007. The chapel, known as “The Singing Church,” is unusual. The bulletin board invites all to “Come as You Are—Happy Hour 9:30.” There is laughter and 150 to 200 voices singing gospel music to the beat of a rocking and rolling piano—enough to drown out the shrieking and splashing from the water slide next door. Being pastor of this chapel for twenty-four years caps the long and multi-faceted career of Doc Windy who invites you on a picturesque guided tour nearly ninety years long.

Amazon.ca

While some may be forgiven for assuming that Neil Young Nation is yet another in a crowd of Neil Young biographies, this is neither among those officially sanctioned (Shakey, Don't Be Denied) nor an unauthorized facts-be-damned waste of paper. Never having met with or spoken to the man whose name forms the title (and not wanting to, for fear his role model might be a jerk on such an occasion), Kevin Chong has written a Neil Young book that is less a biography than a memoir: upon turning 29, after spending three years creating a manuscript (for a different book) that no publisher wanted, Chong decided to stop writing fiction, and looked to Neil Young--a man who has succeeded on his own terms--for inspiration on what to do next.

Chong hatched a plan to take a road trip with three friends (Geoff, Dave, and Mark), retracing the journey Young made in early 1966, when he left Canada behind to meet up with Stephen Stills in Los Angeles, where they found immediate fame with their new band Buffalo Springfield. Along the way, Chong interviewed people who had known Young at the early stages of his musical career: former band members, classmates, girlfriends, and others. While well-referenced, what makes the book most rewarding is the dry, self-deprecating humor shared by the author and his traveling companions: "It often seemed to me that Dave and Mark lived in a parallel universe where pretty female strangers, when asked for directions, offered their services as tour guides. On certain levels, I hate them." Equally refreshing is Chong's unwillingness to gloss over some of his hero's questionable attitudes and behaviour regarding relationships and politics, pointing out many contradictions throughout his career but never letting them interfere with his respect for the music and the man. --Eric Wilson

Book Description

Neil Young will turn 60 in 2005. Kevin Chong will turn 30. To celebrate these two milestones, Chong sets off on a road trip in search of his boyhood hero. Crisscrossing the continent, he visits Winnipeg, where Young formed his first band; Toronto, where Young was a Yorkville folkie; Los Angeles, where he became a star with Buffalo Springfield; and other noteworthy stops before ending up in Seattle, where he finally sees Neil Young on stage. Along the way he spars with rabid Neil fans, talks to people who knew Young as a kid, and puzzles over Young’s strange, sometimes contradictory pronouncements on such topics as digital music, the environment, AIDS, and Ronald Reagan. More than just an entertaining account of Chong’s journey, Neil Young Nation is a celebration of rock and roll, contrarianism, the allure of the road, being cool, and aging gracefully.

A survey of his findings about Neil Young, rock music, and encounters Neil had with fans and fellow musicians along the way........2007-01-07

Neil Young is one of the most popular musicians of modern times and has enjoyed decades of fame in the rock world, producing consistently outstanding lyrics and sounds. NEIL YOUNG NATION is more than just a review of his life, however: author Kevin Chong set off on a road trip to research his subject, following the places which influenced Young's music: NEIL YOUNG NATION is at once an account of Chong's personal journey as well as a survey of his findings about Neil Young, rock music, and encounters Neil had with fans and fellow musicians along the way.

On the road with Neil Young.......2006-05-11

The book's subtitle, A Quest, An Obsession (and a True Story) sums up author Kevin Chong's yearning to discover what it really means to be a dedicated Neil Young fan and his desire to stay youthful and passionate.
"Most of my friends were grown-ups. I didn't count myself among them," Chong writes in his introduction. And later, he confesses his "inability to grow up". Citing what Young calls "reckless abandon" to describe the way he makes his music, Chong states that's what he wants "in my life, in my art".
So, straight up you know this is self-indulgent navel gazing. But don't be put off. There's much more to Neil Young Nation.
Turning 30 the same year Neil Young turns 60, Chong decides to commemorate the two milestones with a road trip with three space-cake munching mates, tracing old Shakey's footsteps from Canada to California.
The pilgrimage by the four adventurers follows the zig-zag trail that Young took in a converted black hearse: Winnipeg, where the country rocker formed his first band, the Squires; Omeemee, Young's childhood home, the "town in north Ontario" he sings about in his sweet song, Helpless; and Los Angeles, where Young found rock 'n' roll fame.
In his peregrinations Chong visits many of his idol's former haunts. He meets other Young obsessives, people who knew Young years ago, including a vice-principle at his old high-school, a former manager of a caf? where Young made his solo debut, and a woman who made the 1966 hearse trek with Young.
The author avoids sloppy sentimentality or embarrassing hero worship. His obsession is kind of scholarly, sifting flotsam and jetsam along the journey for clues, like an archaeological sweep.
Chong uses the subject of his ideal escapism as the reference point, and by journey's end what he has gleaned about Young has also taught him a few things, too, especially about cool and aging gracefully. But, most importantly, choose passion over precision.
Chong, of course, makes liberal use of Young's lyrics through his book, selecting the most appropriate places. There is a discography at the back as well as references and source notes.
Neil Young Nation, thankfully, is not just another biography to add to the half-dozen or so already published, not to mention the scores of web sites dedicated to Young.
This is a road book: part biography; part personal essay; part adventure tale. And it adds up to a rollicking, sometimes funny, good-time read. It goes without saying, a must-read for Rusties (obsessive Young fans). Three-and-a-half stars.

a long, strange (but great) trip.......2006-02-06

Maybe it's because I'm almost 30 years old myself and, like the author, at the crossroads between my freewheeling 20's and the more domestic 30's. Maybe it's because I've thought about making trips to Ontario to see my musical hero's hometown just for fun, and never done it. Whatever it is, this book connected with me. Thankfully, the book is a lot less about Neil Young than it is about a road trip with friends and the experiences they've had along the way. I say thankfully because I've read enough biographical books on Neil, including the extensive, 700-page or whatever "Shakey," by Jimmie McDonough, which is great, by the way. While Chong does get into some history of Young's musical life during the road trip from Canada to LA, I actually found myself enjoying the parts most where it was just Chong and his buddies, Geoff, Dave and Mark, talking about random stuff in the car or while having some beers with locals at various taverns along the way. A modern, sarcastic road trip tale not too much unlike that of Jack Kerouac's "On the Road," without the rambling, random lunacy of the Dean character. The book should connect especially with those in the 25-35 range, even if they're not huge Neil Young fans. A must-read for any big Neil fan, however. There's even numerous mentions of meetings with "Rusties" around the country.

college reminiscing.......2006-01-13

As I approach my 25th year college reunion, this book brought me back to those college days where we thought it was so cool to go to Cy Young's house to speak with the people who live there now. We made precious films about "gazing globes" (those strange balls that sit atop cement stands in gardens all over the midwest). I guess more than anything, this book describes the path you can take if you wish to become a true member of the hidden, authentic Neil Young fan society. Most of the truly informative bits I was able to glean from 4 Way Street: The Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young Reader by David Zimmer. But it was a good transport back to those college days when you wanted desperately to be on the "in" of a hip, secret society.

Book Description

Teenage Nervous Breakdown: Music and Politics in the Post-Elvis Era combines music and cultural history and criticism to examine how rock and the rock lifestyle have been merchandised first to a teenage audience and eventually to a worldwide consumer society. Well-known, iconoclastic writer/ critic David Walley examines the entire rock culture and how it has infused all aspects of American (and world) life, from entertainment to politics to academic education. In a series of what he describes as "word-jazz rock and roll improvisations and variations," Walley examines how adult culture has been "adolescent-ized" and what the ramifications are on our society.
Walley is not an uninvolved observer-his personal story and opinions are right up front, where they belong. Famous for being the first writer to recognize the commercial genius of Frank Zappa (in the landmark book, No Commercial Potential, first published in 1972 and still in print today), Walley is ideally suited to examine how commercialism has invaded rock music, and in turn how this commercialism has invaded rock music, and in turn how this commercial stepchild of rock has become a culture unto itself. He tackles everything from the elevation of youth culture to the mainstream; the fast-food economy; the commercial hijack of the counterculture movement; the "cool" aesthetic; the marketing of politicians; psychotropic drugs from LSD to Prozac; and much, much more. Along the way, he touches on a diverse range of figures. From Ma Rainey to Elvis, from Béla Bartók to Batman; from Timothy Leary to Rush Limbaugh; from The Man From U.N.C.L.E. to Understanding Media.

Customer Reviews:

A cultural history that is revealing and engrossing.......2006-09-09

Written by popular music and culture expert David Walley, who has documented the evolution of rock and roll since the late sixties, Teenage Nervous Breakdown: Music and Politics in the Post-Elvis Age is a close scrutiny of how rock and the rock lifestyle have been commercialized and merchandized, first to a teenage audience, and now to a worldwide consumer society. In particular, Teenage Nervous Breakdown explores how modern culture has been "adolescentized", and what the consequences are. How did the counterculture movement get commercially hijacked, what exactly is the "cool" aesthetic, and why has youth culture been elevated to the mainstream? Teenage Nervous Breakdown offers keenly aware answers to all this questions and more. From the marketing of politicians to the ramifications and cultural views of psychotropic drugs, no issue with a tangible connection to rock-and-roll goes overlooked. A "must-read" for rock-and-roll fans especially, as well as students and even businessmen interested in the dynamics of popular culture.

Jazz riff? More like broken record........2005-10-24

Found this book in a bin outside a dollar store. Thought the title looked promising. Wrong. It's the most pretentious pile of horse wallop I've tried to read in a long time. If it wasn't such a long drive back to that particular dollar store, I'd throw it back in the bin it came out of.

Required reading!.......2003-06-05

This could be one of the most underrated works in modern social history. Walley has managed the astounding feat of combining first-hand insights and observations with a style that is totally unique -- practically free form. "Teenage Nervous Breakdown" should be required reading for students of sociology, music, or, dare I say, cultural anthropology. In an age when culture is very much a recycled and homogenized ghost of past trends and politics, this collection of essays is a rallying cry for anyone searching for a voice in a thunderstorm of corporatized consumerism and apathy.

Incoherent and rambling.......1999-06-29

Do you know that old joke, "If you remember the 1960s you probably weren't there"? Walley thinks he remembers.

Looking for a book to use for a class on "Music and Politics," I was excited to come upon this title. What a disappointment. Walley, whose credentials as a historian escape me, says his book is "basically a series of word-jazz rock and roll improvisations and variations" on how rock created "an attitude as well a (sic) sonic environment for commerce." A few chapters have references, but there is little original research or theory. Chapters with more notes offer little more than the ones where Walley supposedly gives his imagination full range.

Walley uses commas like blunt instruments. Consider: "Really, it's just business, forget that other stuff, said the military-industrial complex, which, when the layers of obfuscation and self-serving rhetoric were peeled away and its corporate reports were scrutinized by peace activist historians and economists, was revealed to be the engine that motored the American ecnomy and had been motoring it since the end of World War II." Is this a jazz riff, or just awful writing?

You've also got to wonder about a music "expert" who is shocked that the Beatles "Revolution" is being used to sell "sneakers" (Does anyone younger than 50 still use this term?) today.

Listen to the words: "Revolution" was anti-revolution.

If you are looking for a book which will deal with the impact of commercial forces on the music industry and politics, keep looking. I was hoping for a book which would explore how commercial culture co-opts cutting-edge culture. This is just sludge.

This book makes a post-modernist Ph.D. dissertation read like a model of clarity.

Walley is an electrifying essayist.......1999-05-15

David Walley is one of the most exciting essayists I've ever read. To say that he's a cultural historian of the highest order is absolutely right and dead wrong. One thinks of historians as dried out hollow men, heads filled with straw. Walley's head is a dynamo generating electric sparks of insight, self-realization, and delight.

Book Description

By the tender of age of five, Bernie Mac had found his calling: making others laugh. Now this amazing comedian delves deep inside to share the poignant story of his childhood and the people who shaped him into the strong, self-reliant man and ruthlessly funny comedian he is today.

When Bernie was just sixteen, he lost his mother to cancer.

A tough but loving teacher, she showered the unwilling boy with life lessons and "Mac-isms" that would later carry him through many hardships and give him strength during his slow rise to stardom. Maybe You Never Cry Again recounts this ascent in hilarious detail, from eight-year-old Bernie's stand-up comedy performance at a church dinner to open mike nights in Chicago, the jobs he juggled to make ends meet and eventually, his success in entertaining huge audiences on stage, in film, and on television.

Maybe You Never Cry Again is a powerful testament to how a mother's love makes everything possible.

Customer Reviews:

Great read and new found appreciation from THE MAC.......2006-08-02

I appreciate every word shared in this book! Bernie Mac exposes the readers to the hardship, loss, and struggle that he endured on his road to success. Many would have given up years before he saw success. Throughout the book, he reiterates the depth and strength of his mother and the many lessons (MACisms) that she engrained in him. I never expected to experience the range of emotions that were stirred within my spirit throughout the reading of his story. Great big shoutout to his wife, Rhonda, you are an inspiration and a motivation. A difficult but beautiful story. Thanks for not giving up during your journey. I greatly appreciate your story.

I COULDN'T WAIT!!!!.......2006-02-17

Each night after i returned home from a long nursing shift i
couldn't wait to take my bedtime bath and settle down into bed
to read my next page or chapter.I read his first book but this
one gave me a more inside depth as to who Mr Bernie Mac is and
how he truly came to be.I would recommend this book to anyone whom wants to take his journey!! It's worth the ride and the adventure!!

A disappointment.......2005-12-31

Personally, I've never found Bernie Mac funny at all. It's unfortunate that I picked up this audiobook read by him. Now I think that not only is Bernie Mac not funny, he also sounds like a Jerk. This book is the story of his life, it's a sad life punctuated by the loss of his mother when Bernie was 16. It's obvious that Bernie had a rough life, and his rise to stardom was an impressive one that included doing stand up at church at age 8. However, it's so depressing throughout the entire work you'll want to throw the tape out by hour 2 of this 4 and half hour abridgement. At no time is any part of this book funny, and the reading by Bernie Mac is delivered so flat as to seem monotone. I don't think Bernie was trying to make himself sound selfish, but that's really how it feels towards the end of the work. I feel bad, but I have to recommend not spending your money on this product.

Mac Man does it again with this one........2005-12-08

Bernard (Bernie Mac), has done it again. "Maybe You Never Cry Again" is one serious novel into the life of the Mac Man. This book showed me another side of Bernie Mac that I loved reading about. The man through victorious triumphs, love, and haters...he bet all odds to show he was determined and made it. I have a new found respect for Bernie Mac and his career of comedy. He is one of the best comedians out in this world today. I love the "Macisms" throughout the book, they help me overcome some obstacles in my life. He became a man in my sense at an early age. He knew what he wanted and went for it after defeating life's set-backs. I give this book five stars it is truly what Bernie Mac stands for and is today because of it.

May I never cry again that hard in my life.......2004-11-23

Bernie Mac did it again. He made me laugh and cry all at the same time. He took me through his journey and I felt like I was right there. I can't wait to read his other book.

Navision 101.......2006-02-11

At last a well made introduction to Navision. This is the one to read if you just discovered the product, including earlier versions (even if the interface would look different), and are wondering where to start.

Straight to the point, the text is clear and logically presented. Reading it makes you feel as if you had spent a few quality hours with a experienced private tutor.

A next step would be to take either the two day "8324" introduction course from Microsoft, or the "8404B" and "8359" if you need to install and start developping custom reports and/or applications.

Good job Mr. Diffenderfer and Mr. El-Assai !
