Book Description

Job and Work Design equips readers with a sound understanding of research, theory, and the practical aspects of job design. This volume critiques the theory and research that provide the foundations of our current understanding of job design, pointing to a need for methodological improvements and a broader conceptual focus. The authors examine recent innovations in manufacturing technologies, techniques, and philosophies and how these affect work design and research and practice. The authors also look at wider trends in manufacturing and elsewhere, such as teleworking, downsizing, the development of a contingent workforce, and the changing composition of the workforce. The volume describes how the redesign of work has implications for wider organizational systems (such as human resources and information systems) as well as implications for multiple stakeholders (such as supervisors, support staff, management, and unions). In addition, it suggests ways to effectively manage the work redesign process, including key stages involved in redesigning work, some useful tools and methods, and the change agentÆs critical role. The book concludes with some final thoughts that draw together arguments regarding the past and future of work design theory and practice. Job and Work Design will be of interest to students and professors of management, organizational studies, industrial/organizational psychology, public administration, social and personality psychology, sociology of work, and gender issues.

Customer Reviews:

Over all a good and up-to-date overview of job design.......1999-07-16

This book provides an extensive look at both the history and current use of job design in organizations. The authors stress that the environment in which organizations exist today is substantially different from that in which job design theory evolved. Numerous examples of job design in organizations are provided and an emphasis is placed on the diverse options available when designing jobs. Overall this book adequately portrays the current state of job design theory in organizations.

Book Description

From reviews of the first edition:

"Angus Wright has shown in a brilliant study [how] the imposition of high-yield agriculture helped to break apart the intimate relationship between cultures and ecosystems that had coevolved over long periods of time."

—David W. Orr, from Earth in Mind: On Education, Environment, and the Human Prospect

" The Death of Ramón González is a blockbuster. In a dramatic, readable story, Wright has provided a new way of looking at the tragic human and environmental consequences of chemical-dependent agriculture."

—Wes Jackson, The Land Institute

The Death of Ramón González has become a benchmark book since its publication in 1990. It has been taught in undergraduate and graduate courses in every social science discipline, sustainable and alternative agriculture, environmental studies, ecology, ethnic studies, public health, and Mexican, Latin American, and environmental history. The book has also been used at the University of California-Santa Cruz as a model of interdisciplinary work and at the University of Iowa as a model of fine journalism, and has inspired numerous other books, theses, films, and investigative journalism pieces.

This revised edition of The Death of Ramón González updates the science and politics of pesticides and agricultural development. In a new afterword, Angus Wright reconsiders the book's central ideas within the context of globalization, trade liberalization, and NAFTA, showing that in many ways what he called "the modern agricultural dilemma" should now be thought of as a "twenty-first century dilemma" that involves far more than agriculture.

A true heart-wrenching occupational health story.......1998-04-30

This story details how people suffer and die from the repressive labor practices of pesticide-addicted agribusiness. It should give pause to people eating foods produced and harvested in places whose labor practices are known to be repressive. It should spur support for "fairly-traded" foods and also should spur investigations into the activities of agribusinesses using pesticides but probably won't because the power these corporations have over people and political systems continues to increase.

This should be considered essential reading for anyone working in the areas of public health and occupational health. It is a modern but 'classic' occupational health story, which illustrates again, that when workers are repressed, forced by economic circumstances to accept their working conditions as their employers dictate, significant health problems follow.

And the long screw of history keeps on turning...

Tales of the Southwest.......2001-02-09

An excellent collection of short stories about the Southwest--its history, its fauna and flora, its people, and just a little about where it may be going if suburbia continues to encroach.

At its best, Bruce's writing style verges on poetry, refining the imagery into a few well chosen lines that beg to be read and read again. The very short story about the Metaphysical Tent is one the best short pieces I have read.

Short Essays Celebrating and Illuminating the Southwest Deserts.......2006-11-09

Berger is a funny, thoughtful observer of the southwest deserts and those who love them, the "desert rats." Unlike Edward Abbey, another desert chronicular, Berger is able to step back from the people and places. Like Abbey, he is passionate. This is a fine book in content and printing (a beautiful cover, acid-free paper, and an easy-to-read font).

good brief history.......2007-05-19

This book gives a very good brief history of Edinburgh! I found that part the most interesting. The photos are not very clear, and the Edinburgh attractions are not described very thoroughly. But since there are so few books on Edinburgh only, this book is worth reading. Again, the history section was in-depth yet brief enough.

Book Description

You probably know about my family. My oldest brother, Charlie, takes care of me, my brothers, and my sister. That's because our mom and dad died four years ago. So basically, it's just the five of us.

But there's lots more about me that you should know....

My best friend, Jody, is such a pain sometimes. She's always telling me how to act, what to wear, which people to hang out with. And she just expects me to listen to her.

Last week, I met a really cute guy named Cliff. I could tell he liked me. But Jody told me to give it up. She said he would never date a "brainiac" like me. I believed her -- as usual. Then I found out that Jody wanted him for herself. She didn't even care that I liked him, too.

That's the last time I ever listen to anything Jody says. And there's no way I'm going to let her have Cliff!

This book is cool!!! : - P.......1998-06-15

I really think this book is great. It shows a pre-teen's point of view, and I think it shows how you should never let anything come between you and a good friend.

Book Description

Journalist, wife, and mother of three, Claire Newman juggles work, soccer games, birthday parties, and errands. A successful writer at Nationweek, America's second largest newsweekly, she makes her living by being, as she says, "a relentless snoop," but she never was able to figure out why her best friend of twenty-three years, Lydia Finelli, dropped out of her life with no explanation. Claire hasn't seen Lydia in five years, and her unresolved hurt and anger still linger, brought to the surface by a chance encounter at the local bakery. When Lydia calls Claire and asks for her help, urging her to come discuss the situation in person, Claire figures it is one of "life's rare opportunities to tie up a loose end."

But when Claire arrives at Lydia's house, she finds her ex-best friend dead. While all the obvious signs point to suicide, Claire can't shake the feeling there's something very wrong. The irrepressible, feisty Claire starts investigating, and soon the list of suspects includes Lydia's neurologist husband, her psychiatrist neighbor, and even her son's handsome soccer coach. As Claire uncovers the secrets of her friend's past, and their relationship, the puzzle becomes even more complicated, and she finds that she really didn't know Lydia very well at all.

But knowledge comes with a price, and as Claire unravels the mystery of Lydia's death, she puts herself -- and the people she loves -- in harm's way.

Smart and funny, with razor-sharp storytelling, My Ex-Best Friend is the debut of a fresh new voice in contemporary fiction.

Not who dunnit, but who cares?.......2005-10-14

Anyone with half a brain will figure out who the killer is at least half way through the book. The ending is clumsy and requires the reader to make large leaps out of reality/believability. Of course every murderer confesses everything into a hidden tape recorder while waiting for you to pass out! Doesn't every working mother have a live in nanny/housekeeper who tends to your children while you are out solving murders and your husband is out of town?

The book seemed promising in the beginning....what woman does not have at least one friend that she abandoned or was abandoned by. The author should have stuck to that relationship theme instead of writing a second rate Nancy Drew mystery. The characters are 2 dimensional and rarely spark the reader to invest any passion into the plot resolution.

A dreadful waste of time.......2004-03-14

By page 51, I figured out the entire plot without any effort. Dreadful. Don't waste your time!

Did I miss something!?.......2003-10-20

From the first page, I felt the book was badly written and even more badly edited. So I read some more. My opinion didn't change and the story got so dumb that finally I did something I hardly ever do - I stopped reading it.

I really wanted to enjoy it but with this one, don't waste your time. The main character is annoying, the writing sloppy and the ending beyond believable.

Very well-done.......2003-09-03

Beth Brophy's new mystery has everything: sympathetic characters, believable plot, and good writing. It's...well, cozy!

Claire Newman's best friend, Lydia, dies just as Lydia has moved to re-establish contact after five years of extrangement. At first the death appears to be a suicide but of course we soon begin to share Claire's suspicions. Claire's investigation takes her to a psychiatrist, a soccer coach and, of course, Lydia's husband, a neurologist.

The action unfolds smoothly and it is easy to care about the characters. Most people will guess whodunit, but that's not a big deal. Even Claire's investigation fits her character: journalists learn how to dig behind the obvious.

I hope we hear more from Beth Brophy. It's a welcome surprise to find a new writer who's got "it."

My Ex-Best Flop.......2003-08-22

I was excited to read this book because it was featured in the Washington Post, a newspaper which normally is fair and honest with its book reviews. What I found though was this is book is similar to all the other Bridget Jones Diary-wannabes who try to make a modern suburban angst book.

The plot was determinable within the first 30 pages. I read the book from cover to cover because I wanted to see whether I actually had guessed the who-done-it and I in fact had. It was filled with cliches from start to finish and seemed to be a conglomeration of every genre the author has read and seen since birth. The conversation, retorts, thoughts were all predictable and really boring.

The aspect of the book that bothers me the most is the name-dropping of location and materialistic what-have-you. I too live in the same area in which the author lives and I too understand the "Bethesda-Potomac-Metropolitan DC" mind set. However, it seems to me that the author is more at a crux as to whether she is for or against the very lifestyle she embodies. She obviously tries to show disdain for it but at the same time she pathetically shows how much it means to her to identify with that certain mentality. ...

At any rate, this is one of the most sophomoric books I have read to date. Given the fact that I am relatively young but well read, it bothers me that this book was so poorly written, was so poorly developed and yet still got the reviews that it needed to be entered into a credible newspaper. I think that we have beaten the horse dead enough, people. We don't need any more present day reality books written. I think they have become a dime a dozen and the modern reader can read more than the drivel this book has to offer.
