This provocative book makes the case that trade unions must
intervene in economic restructuring in order to halt the erosion of
job quality in today's economy. The author, who is a professor at
the Kogod College of Business Administration at The American
University in Washington, D.C., specializes in labor-management
relations and the social responsibilities of business and has
brought both of these disciplines into focus for this book. Jacobs
forcefully argues that collective bargaining is not merely a means
to determine wages and benefits, but is also a powerful social tool
that can move the corporation toward more socially responsible and
responsive forms. While American unions are currently very weak,
their regeneration should be a matter of public concern.
Jacobs considers shopfloor organization, health-care delivery,
and public education in the United States, as well as the process
of democratization in Poland and South Africa, and explains how
transformational bargaining by trade unions may promote favorable
outcomes. The author explores the conventional wisdom in industrial
relations theory and argues that business unionism, which focuses
on bread and butter, is not an adequate model for American labor.
Instead, unions can and must negotiate profound change in
organizations. Unions can win bargains that preserve jobs, alter
product lines, extend ownership, and redraw organizational
boundaries. These possibilities are illuminated in case studies on
such topics as auto manufacturing, public schools and Italian
unionism.

Ever since the Industrial Revolution debate has raged about the
sources of the new, sustained western prosperity. Margaret Jacob
here argues persuasively for the critical importance of knowledge
in Europe's economic transformation during the period from 1750 to
1850, first in Britain and then in selected parts of northern and
western Europe. This is a new history of economic development in
which minds, books, lectures and education become central. She
shows how, armed with knowledge and know-how and inspired by the
desire to get rich, entrepreneurs emerged within an industrial
culture wedded to scientific knowledge and technology. She charts
how, across a series of industries and nations, innovative
engineers and entrepreneurs sought to make sense and a profit out
of the world around them. Skilled hands matched minds steeped in
the knowledge systems new to the eighteenth century to transform
the economic destiny of western Europe.
One of the founders of the field of pediatric rheumatology, Dr.
Jerry C. Jacobs, comprehensively discusses the care of children
with rheumatic diseases and musculoskeletal disorders in this
clinical reference. The author has completely revised and updated
the text and references. A significant portion of the book is
devoted to differential diagnosis; in fact, one of the book's
strongest points is the detailed, illustrated description of the
physical examination of joints in children. From the reviews of the
first edition: "The section on the differential diagnosis of
arthritis is the most comprehensive treatise of the subject that I
have seen." #New England Journal of Medicine#1 "This is a book that
one can pick up and read sections of and go back to again and
again, and as such should be readily available wherever people are
caring for children with joint complaints." #British Medical
Journal#2 "Photographs, both clinical and pathological,
radiographs, tables and graphs appear on almost every page and the
layout is good so that the text is attractive as well as readable."
#British Journal of Rheumatology#3 "...deals with all the facets of
rheumatism or arthritis likely to be met with in the clinic.
...Above all the book is user friendly: very comprehensive index
sections facilitate access to material, and the provision of many
lists and summary tables helps in the location and clarification of
information. ...The whole results in a book that is pleasant and
surprisingly easy to read ...it would form an ideal library copy,
both for selective reading and reference, and should be read by all
paediatric rheumatologists." #The Lancet#4
As is probably the case with all successful innovations, the unique
design of the thrust plate prosthesis (TPP) was not born of a
sudden fancy for a radically different hip joint replacement, but
emerged from elaborate biomechanical investigations on the
loosening of conventional, intramedullarly anchored hip prosthesis
shafts. In the 1970s, hip revisions due to loosening of the
prostheses became a burden to patients not only physically and
psychologically but also economically. This meant that it also
became a matter of daily concern to the orthopaedic surgeon, who
then had to cope with new, previously unknown problems. Loosening
processes were de tected within 5 years of implantation in up to
25% of cases. While implant loosenings were considered to be the
result of incorrect handling of materials, we felt that a number of
details still had to be considered in regard to the behavior of the
entire bone-prosthesis complex and the action of mechanical forces.
This volume of essays reflects the interests and expertise of H. G.
Koenigsberger, Professor of History at King's College London, who
has written and taught widely on early modern Europe, from Sicily
and Spain to Germany, France and the Netherlands. The contributors
pay tribute to Koenigsberger's range of interest by taking up
themes that have resonated through his lectures, seminars and
public writings. What emerges from a variety of approaches and
topics is an overriding concern with intellectual unity, an
overview which encompasses and reconciles the values of the
politician or scholar with those of the spiritual idealist. Even
the most overtly political of the major cultural figures discussed
in these pages, as Robert Kingdon's essay on Calvin demonstrates,
bent their political will to the service of an intense spiritual
idealism.

The mingling of aristocrats and commoners in a southern French
city, the jostling of foreigners in stock markets across northern
and western Europe, the club gatherings in Paris and London of
genteel naturalists busily distilling plants or making air pumps,
the ritual fraternizing of "brothers" in privacy and even
secrecy-Margaret Jacob invokes all these examples in Strangers
Nowhere in the World to provide glimpses of the cosmopolitan ethos
that gradually emerged over the course of the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries. Jacob investigates what it was to be
cosmopolitan in Europe during the early modern period. Then-as
now-being cosmopolitan meant the ability to experience people of
different nations, creeds, and colors with pleasure, curiosity, and
interest. Yet such a definition did not come about automatically,
nor could it always be practiced easily by those who embraced its
principles. Cosmopolites had to strike a delicate balance between
the transgressive and the subversive, the radical and the
dangerous, the open-minded and the libertine. Jacob traces the
history of this precarious balancing act to illustrate how ideals
about cosmopolitanism were eventually transformed into lived
experiences and practices. From the representatives of the
Inquisition who found the mixing of Catholics and Protestants and
other types of "border crossing" disruptive to their authority, to
the struggles within urbane masonic lodges to open membership to
Jews, Jacob also charts the moments when the cosmopolitan impulse
faltered. Jacob pays particular attention to the impact of science
and merchant life on the emergence of the cosmopolitan ideal. In
the decades after 1650, modern scientific practices coalesced and
science became an open enterprise. Experiments were witnessed in
social settings of natural inquiry, congenial for the inculcation
of cosmopolitan mores. Similarly, the public venues of the stock
exchanges brought strangers and foreigners together in ways
encouraging them to be cosmopolites. The amount of international
and global commerce increased greatly after 1700, and luxury tastes
developed that valorized foreign patterns and designs. Drawing upon
sources as various as Inquisition records and spy reports, minutes
of scientific societies and the writings of political
revolutionaries, Strangers Nowhere in the World reveals a moment in
European history when an ideal of cultural openness came to seem
strong enough to counter centuries of chauvinism and xenophobia.
Perhaps at no time since, Jacob cautions, has that cosmopolitan
ideal seemed more fragile and elusive than it is today.
Zu den bedeutenden und gewiss reizvollsten Unternehmungen der
italienischen Aufklarung gehoert die 1764 bis 1766 erschienene
Zeitschrift Il Caffe, Gemeinschaftswerk eines Mailander
Intellektuellenzirkels um die Bruder Verri und Cesare Beccaria. Ihr
erklartes Ziel ist es, "d'illuminare la moltitudine, di
comunicargli co' suoi scritti le utili verita, di rendere gli
uomini piu saggi, piu felici e piu virtuosi". Wissenstransfer in
pragmatischer Absicht, Glucksverheissung und Tugendidealitat
schliessen hier einen programmatischen Bund. Die Rahmenfiktion
eines Kaffeehauses erlaubt es, eine vielstimmige zwanglose
Konversation zu simulieren, in der auch kontroverse Gedanken
willkommen sind. Die Beitrage bestechen durch Themenvielfalt und
Facettenreichtum. In der Polyphonie der Autorenstimmen mischen sich
ernster Wissenschaftsdiskurs und heiteres Salongesprach,
aufklarerisches Pathos, Satire und Esprit. In sechzehn thematisch
breitgefacherten Beitragen wird die Zeitschrift Il Caffe aus
kulturwissenschaftlicher, wissenschafts- und
literaturgeschichtlicher, textphilologischer, ideen- und
mentalitatshistorischer Sicht untersucht.
