The Changing U.S. Auto Industry: A Geographical Analysis

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Rubenstein, James M. / Rubenstein, J. / Rubenstein Jame, PUBLISHER: Routledge, In recent years, automobile production in the United States has undergone changes on a scale unmatched since the pioneering era before World War I. Few plants have been opened in the interior of the country, while most of those located along the east and west coast have been closed. New technology, just-in-time delivery, and more flexible work rules have been introduced, sparked by changing consumer preferences, increasing sales for Japanese products, and declining market shares for American firms. In the fiercely competitive North American market, automakers look for every possible advantage, and they have found that location is a decisive element. "The Changing US Auto Industry" integrates concepts drawn from geography, such as access to markets and shipment of parts, to understand some of the reasons for the recent changes. The changing role of labor in the production process is also crucial, and this includes the search by Japanese firms for a union-free environment, the re-location of some production to Mexico, and the debate over the appropriate level of union-management cooperation. James Rubenstein captures the drama behind the changing distribution in the automobile industry: the Japanese arrival in small-town America and the competition among communities to attract new General Motors plants.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Yenyi, Tresor, PUBLISHER: iUniverse.com, Tresor Yenyi was born in Eastern Congo in at the peak of Mobutu's reign. Not realizing he was witnessing history in the making, he was helpless as he observed the country slide first into chaos, then into its grave-the victim of looting, war, and corruption. It was only after he immigrated to the United States that he realized the depth of the destruction that had occurred and began nurturing a strong desire to return to his native country to search for a cure for the disease from which Congo suffers.In his compelling travel narrative, Yenyi details his return trips to Congo, his subsequent charitable work, and the heartbreaking stories of the country's victims of war. While providing the voiceless a chance to speak through him, Yenyi reveals the humanitarian challenges of Congo and combines his life experiences with journal entries-creating an introspective glimpse into a world where child soldiers, rape victims, street children, and AIDS orphans are the realities of life. Tresor Yenyi has a dream-that the troubled land of his ancestors will find peace once again. It is with this great hope for the future of his homeland that Yenyi remembers Congo's forgotten.

In Search of Small Gods

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Harrison, Jim, PUBLISHER: Copper Canyon Press, "Funny and tender beneath a wry and gruff seen-it-all veneer, Harrison contemplates death, discerns divinity in every stone and leaf, and nobility in ordinary lives, and laughs at our attempts to separate ourselves from the rest of nature."--"Booklist" "His poems succeed on the basis of an open heart and a still-ravenous appetite for life."--"The Texas Observer" Now in paperback, Jim Harrison's best-selling poetry book "In Search of Small Gods" is where birds and humans converse, autobiographies are fluid, and unknown gods flutter just out of sight. In terrains real and imagined--from remote canyons and anonymous thickets in the American West to secret basements in World War II Europe--Harrison calls upon readers to live fully in a world where "Death steals everything except our stories." "Maybe the problem is that I got involved with the wrong crowd of gods when I was seven. At first they weren't harmful and only showed themselves as fish, birds, especially herons and loons, turtles, a bobcat and a small bear, but not deer and rabbits who only offered themselves as food. And maybe I spent too much time inside the water of lakes and rivers. Underwater seemed like the safest church I could go to... " Jim Harrison is one of America's most versatile and celebrated writers. He is the author of over thirty books of poetry, fiction, and nonfiction, including "Legends of the Fall" and "Dalva." His work has been translated into two dozen languages. He lives in Arizona and Montana.

Ronsard and the Age of Gold

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Armstrong, Elizabeth Htylerr / Armstrong, Kelley / Armstrong, Elizabeth, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, The Age of Gold was one of the so-called 'commonplaces' inherited by the Renaissance from classical antiquity, a myth (taking many different forms) telling of an era of human happiness without war or want. Most writers used it as a convenient device, predicting its return as an age of peace and plenty upon the accession of a ruler or the signing of a treaty: others moralized it as a reformed or spiritually regenerated society. Elizabeth Armstrong's search for an answer to this question has entailed a study of a wide range of possible influences, classical, medieval and contemporary, and an examination of neglected areas of Ronsard's own vast literary output. Most of all an explanation is sought in his temperament and tastes, which made the theme of the Age of Gold at one period in his life a welcome vehicle for poetry expressing his love of freedom and his sensibility to untouched nature.
