Differences in management behavior across organizations are
attributed to differences in priorities and objectives or
differences in the style and preferences of the individuals
involved. This volume challenges this image by attending to the
extra-organizational and extra-individual forces that shape and
constrain how work is structured in organizations. The authors
focus their attention on work within and between organizations and
emphasize the ways in which the jobs are defined, the power and
autonomy they engender, the opportunities that are afforded, and
the constraints that are imposed, are continuously contested not
only at the individual level, but also at a more aggregate and
collective level. This volume is the product of an
interdisciplinary gathering of scholars convened with generous
support of the Canadian Social Science and Humanities Research
Council. It presents new theoretical and empirical papers that
examine aspects of the changing nature of jobs and work in
organizations from multiple perspectives and methodologies.
Actions have consequences as Space Fleet Captain Marcus Viator and
NASA reject Scott Cherella discover when they switched places. Does
the reserved Marcus have what it takes to imitate his smart-aleck
twin? Despite help from his love, Veronese, Scott's already been
outed by two of Marcus' best friends. When rebels steal the ship
with part of the crew aboard, Scott has to rescue them and retrieve
the Freedom. The stakes increase when he discovers the rebels are
heading for Earth. They know he's a fraud and they want Marcus. The
safety of the Alliance of Planets depends on Scott and his allies.
Switched Resolution, which wraps up the Switched series, takes the
reader from Earth-where Marcus adjusts to a pregnant Jessie-to the
starship Freedom commandeered by rebels, to the chase ship with
Scott and Veronese aboard.

deliver the goods. Her ship is the home she never had as a child.
Determined to bring order to the frontier, rule-bound official
Trevarr Jovano refuses to tolerate those who disrespect the law. So
when an indie pilot refuses to obey, he seizes her ship and cargo.
The only thing Celara cares about more than her ship is her
brother. To rescue him from the clutches of a galactic gangster,
she'll even join forces with Trevarr who is bent on avenging his
wife's murder.
Be careful what you wish for...you might get it. Down-sized
astronaut candidate Scott Cherella leaps at the chance to go into
space. He just has to pretend to be the captain of an Alliance of
Planets starship. His lifelong dream quickly becomes a nightmare
when sabotage erupts. To save the ship and crew he has to depend on
an uptight, disapproving colleague. The only time Veronese Qilana
broke the rules tragedy resulted. She vowed never again. Now, to
protect the real starship captain, she'll have to deceive the crew
by helping the imposter. They must work together to uncover the
saboteur and get the crew safely home. In doing so, they discover
opposites really do attract.

About this book project: Eugene poet, C. Steven Blue, was appointed
by the Eugene Public Library to organize a special poetry event to
help celebrate Eugene's 150th Birthday. Local poets were invited to
submit original works with a Eugene, Oregon theme which Steven
decided to also organize into a book. Those chosen were asked to
read their poems at the celebration on September 29, 2012. This
special poetry anthology contains at least one poem from each poet
who submitted their work. Young and old, new and experienced poets
contributed to this book and to the event. Some of the work was
inspired by the library's Summer Reading Series Poetry Workshop and
Local Poetry Showcase, both held in July, 2012. Copies of this
book, which was jointly published by Arrowcloud Press and
Groundwaters Publishing, were awarded to each of the participants
and presented to the Eugene Public Library at the event. Proceeds
from the sale of this book will go to benefit the Eugene Public
Library for its continued support and fine work in our community.
