Book Description
From 1853 to the early 1900s Alfred Simpson and his son Alfred Muller built a highly successful metal working business in Adelaide, South Australia.But the world was changing and was less favourable towards the third generation, Allen and Fred, whose reluctance to keep up with innovations both in management and production put the Firm at risk. Consequently, the fourth generation inherited a company that was ill-equipped to face competition and the challenges of the Second World War. Allen's two older sons, Moxon and Bob, and Fred's sons, Tom and John, faced these threats down and set about reshaping the business into a large and successful whitegoods manufacturer. The story concludes in 1986 with the sale of the business to EMAIL Pty Ltd. Several important themes wind through the book, describing the challenges faced by Australian manufacturers during the last century and the Firm's response to them: two world wars, The Great Depression, ill-conceived government policies and hostile unions. But the greatest story is of the Firm's rise to all of these challenges and its survival in family hands for 133 years spanning five generations and provided within these pages are insights into how this was achieved.

The Second Shift
Author: Arlie Hochschild
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101575514
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
An updated edition of a standard in its field that remains relevant more than thirty years after its original publication. Over thirty years ago, sociologist and University of California, Berkeley professor Arlie Hochschild set off a tidal wave of conversation and controversy with her bestselling book, The Second Shift. Hochschild's examination of life in dual-career housholds finds that, factoring in paid work, child care, and housework, working mothers put in one month of labor more than their spouses do every year. Updated for a workforce that is now half female, this edition cites a range of updated studies and statistics, with an afterword from Hochschild that addresses how far working mothers have come since the book's first publication, and how much farther we all still must go.

Pages : 0
Book Description
Radical movements for social change are not immune to sexual assault and gendered violence. This landmark collection brings together two dozen voices, as fearless as they are compassionate, to challenge the intimate forms of oppression that surround us. The Revolution Starts at Home began as a popular zine when published in its complete form by South End Press (2011). With South End's closing, it went out of print before it could reach its audience - just as its relevance was becoming clear. This facsimile reprint edition will breathe new life into this important project.
