Worker Skills And Job Requirements Is There A Mismatch?
Michael J. Handel Manufacturer: Economic Policy Institute ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1932066160 Release Date: 2004-12-15 |
Book Description
There is a widespread belief that U.S. workers' education and skills are not adequate for the demands of jobs in the modern economy, resulting in a mismatch between the skills workers possess and the skills jobs require. Many believe the purported imbalance between the supply and demand in the market for human capital will become even more serious over time. But a closer examination of the issue reveals considerable ambiguity, underscoring the need for better data than are currently available. In fact, after a closer look at the limited and not completely consistent data used to research this issue, the very existence of a skills mismatch or skills shortage may be in doubt and is by no means as obvious as often asserted.Customer Reviews:

Confronting Critical Health Issues of Asian and Pacific Islander Americans
Manufacturer: Sage Publications, Inc ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0803951132 |
Book Description
The Asian & Pacific Islander American Health Forum is a national advocacy organization dedicated to promoting policy, program, and research efforts for improving the health status of Asians and Pacific Islanders in the United States. This book was stimulated by the ideas and efforts of the Forum's National Research Advisory Council (NRAC). First convened in April 1989, the NRAC was formed in response to the poor quality of data, the paucity of health statistics, and the limited epidemiological and health services research on Asian and Pacific Islander Americans. With partial support from the Federal Office of Minority Health, the Asian & Pacific Islander American Health Forum selected three editors noted for their contributions and past compilations of scholarly work. The Forum also commissioned contributors with demonstrated experience and commitment to advancing the understanding of Asian and Pacific Islander American health in the service, research, and policy sectors. This book is a milestone effort reflecting the Forum's commitment to (a) community-based research; (b) building linkages and collaborations between academic researchers, service providers, and policy-makers; (c) advocating for institutional sanctions on improving data sources and research on Asian and Pacific Islander Americans; and (d) the dissemination of relevant information to diverse communities nationwide.

A Pragmatic Approach to a Complex Issue.......2002-12-23
While, as pointed out by some other reviews, the book is slow to read (such as other great authors such as Page Smith, and select works by Stephen Ambrose, it offers a vital and credible perspective into the society that we lost, in my opinion, when reconstruction began. I enjoyed the read (it took me two weeks) and found it enlightening and, while comprehensive and labyrinthian in references it is a populist perspectiveon the very elitist social environment in the pre-bellum South. Overall, I would reccomend this book to any intellectual, especially those young WASPs in the South who find their cultural influences constantly being bruised by hasty generalizations, who has an interest in the gentry class of the Old South. I would reccomend a parralel read with William Faulkner or other promenint Southern writers, such as Twain, as well.

Sidney Bergh Manufacturer: Cambridge University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0521651816 |
Book Description
The Local Group is a small cluster of galaxies of which thirty-five members are currently known, including the Milky Way. With characteristic clarity of expression, Sidney van den Bergh provides a complete overview of all that is known about the galaxies of the Local Group and their evolution. He also places this knowledge in the wider context of continuing studies of galaxy formation and evolution, the cosmic distance scale, and the conditions in the early Universe. This volume thoroughly details our current understanding of each of the thirty-five members of the Local Group, as well as those galaxies previously regarded as possible members. The book goes on to examine the mass, stability and evolution of the Local Group as a whole and includes many important, previously unpublished results and conclusions.Download Description
The Local Group is a small cluster of galaxies of which 35 members are currently known, including the Milky Way. At least half of all galaxies in the Universe are thought to belong to similar groups. This authoritative volume provides a comprehensive and up-to-date synthesis of what is currently known about the Local Group. It begins with a summary of each member galaxy, as well as those galaxies previously regarded as possible members. The book examines the mass, stability and evolution of the Local Group as a whole and includes many important previously unpublished results and conclusions. With clarity, Professor van den Bergh provides a masterful summary of all that is known about the galaxies of the Local Group and their evolution, and expertly places this knowledge in the wider context of on-going studies of galaxy formation and evolution, the cosmic distance scale, and the conditions in the early Universe.

Metal Matrix Composites and Metallic Foams
Manufacturer: Wiley-VCH ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 3527301267 |
Book Description
It has become clearer which types of MMC systems are entering significant industrial use and what questions concerning their production and performance are of most pressing concern. In addition, intensive attention has been directed recently to metallic foams. These can offer attractive combinations of properties, including high specific stiffness and good energy-absorbing properties, particularly under compressive loading. For both, MMCs and metallic foams, there is intense interest in processing aspects, particularly in terms of cost minimisation consistent with retention of desirable microstructural features.

Romeo and Juliet and West Side Story
Manufacturer: Laurel Leaf ProductGroup: Book Binding: Mass Market Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0440974836 Release Date: 1965-08-15 |
Book Description
The tragedy of love thwarted by fate has always intrigued writers. In the sixteenth century, William Shakespeare took this theme and fashioned one of the world's great plays: Romeo And Juliet. In our own time, Shakespeare's drama has been used as a basis for the overwhelmingly successful musical play West Side Story. Though one of these works is set among the nobility of Verona, and the other among immigrant families of New York's West Side, both tell the story of the plight of young star-crossed" lovers.Customer Reviews:
Dancin and Singin in the streets.......2004-04-22
A logical pairing of 2 great theatrical works.......2002-12-06
I find it stimulating and useful to have these two pieces, linked in theme but separated by centuries, together in one volume. Each is a great text on its own, but having them together may help the reader to see each piece in a different light. One of the things I find most striking as one moves from R&J to WSS is how the latter text adds the element of ethnic tension to the fundamental story of "star-crossed lovers."
R&J is more than just a classic piece of literature; it's also a touchstone of pop culture (hey, it's even been incorporated into a "Brady Bunch" episode!). Despite the passage of centuries, I find Shakespeare's portrayal of the joy and pain of forbidden love to remain relevant and compelling. And R&J holds up as a reader's text, even with the availability of filmed versions. I think that WSS, being a musical play, naturally loses some impact as a text strictly on the page, but nevertheless I found it a rewarding reader's text also. One might try listening to a CD of WSS's songs as an accompaniment to reading the text.
To supplement WSS's portrayal of urban Puerto Ricans, I recommend that interested readers seek out some writings by "Nuyorican" authors; to start with, try Roberto Santiago's illuminating anthology "Boricuas: Influential Puerto Rican Writings."
Jeany's review.......2002-08-10
Romeo and Juliet is written by William Shakespeare, it contains lots of old English(reason why I find it difficult to read it). It is a very tragic story that took place in Old Verona, Italy. As all tragic stories, it has a tragic heroe (person who suffers a big problem as a result of his deffects), in this case there are two tragic heroes, Romeo and Juliet. They died because they didn't know how to control their inapproppriated love, by inapproppriated I mean that their love couldn't be permited because their familes hated each other more than death . The story has been adapted into many stories, plays, Etc. The best character is the Nurse. The only one who expresses her feellings without hidding them.
