On the Ground: Labor Struggle in the American Airline

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Orenic, Liesl Miller, PUBLISHER: University of Illinois Press, "On the Ground" charts labor relations in the airline industry, unraveling the story of how baggage handlers--classified as unskilled workers--built tense but mutually useful alliances with their skilled coworkers such as aircraft mechanics and made tremendous gains in wages and working conditions, even in the era of supposedly "complacent" labor in the s and s.

The Paradox of Revolution: Labor, the State, and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Middlebrook, Kevin J. / Middlebrook, Kevinj, PUBLISHER: Johns Hopkins University Press, This important interdisciplinary work makes original contributions to the study of the state-society relations in Latin America and to the comparative analysis of labor's role in regime change. Middlebrook's theoretical framework identifies the principal dimensions of elite control over mass participation in postrevolutionary authoritarian regimes and highlights the most important aspects of Mexican authoritarianism. By demonstrating organized labor's central importance in the formation and evolution of Mexico's distinctive authoritarian regime, Middlebrook also lays the basis for a major reinterpretation of key features of twentieth-century Mexican politics. "Any scholar interested in Latin American social and political questions over the last one hundred years will sooner or later read this book. Mexicanists worth their salt will read it as soon as they can get it. The scholarship is outstandingly sound. It is rigorous in conceptualization and analysis, and in the historical parts as good as the best histories of Mexican labor and politics." -- John Womack Jr., Harvard University Buy Now

Radical Self-Forgiveness: The Direct Path to True

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Tipping, Colin, PUBLISHER: Sounds True, Most of us have plenty of experience with self-blame and guilt-but we are often at a loss when it comes to forgiving ourselves. According to Colin Tipping, this is because our idea of forgiveness usually requires a victim and a perpetrator-which is impossible when we play both roles at the same time. Tipping's Radical Forgiveness method allows us to navigate this dilemma for deep and lasting healing. With Radical Self-Forgiveness, he presents a definitive manual for gaining freedom from excessive inner criticism and self-sabotaging beliefs. What's "radical" about Colin Tipping's approach to forgiveness? "It's not about telling ourselves a new story about something that happened," he says. "It's about creating a profound shift at the spiritual level." Based on proven techniques from Tipping's world-renowned forgiveness workshops, here is a practical guidebook for resolving our deepest internal wounds-and inviting transformation that can instantly change our lives.
