This title was first published in 1979: Deftly combining an
analysis of socio-economic change and social institutions with
political commentary, intellectual biography and theoretical
critique, Michael Rose identifiesthe hidden similarities of the
different currents in sociologie du travail and accounts for the
popularity of such bold but fragile notions as Mallet's 'new
working class' or Touraine's 'post industrial society'.
Simultaneously, the relation between sociologie du travail and the
state , management and politics is defined and evaluated. Finally,
Rose discusses the work of the new generation of investigators
emerging after the crisis-point of 1968. His conclusions are
relevant not only for the many English speaking social
scientistswho have been rediscoveringthe problems of the labour
process, but for students of industrial relations, intellectual
history, Marxism and modern French society.

The City in the Forest, Atlanta was a spot found in the wilderness
of north Georgia for the end of a railroad line. It was thought few
people would stay here, because most would be passing through to
somewhere else. Instead, the people remained and the town grew,
growing from Terminus to Marthasville to Atlanta. The city was
defined by the rail lines, and for that reason, General William T.
Sherman came with the Civil War. After he left the city in ruins,
Atlanta rebuilt, rising from the ashes, raising a brave and
beautiful city. With a selection of fine historic images from his
best-selling book, Historic Photos of Atlanta, Michael
Rose provides a valuable and revealing historical retrospective on
the growth and development of Atlanta. For a century and a half,
Atlanta has been the southern city on the move, a town of
railroads, business and trade—putting up and pulling
down—airplanes and highways, America’s team and international
Olympics. Along the way, professional and amateur photographers
have documented Atlanta’s rich visual history. This
volume, Remembering Atlanta, presents over 100 images
of the city’s past, including views of its streets, the people
who called it home, and the life, look, and feel of Atlanta.

From September 1836 to December 1837, young Aboriginal clerks
produced the Flinders Island Weekly Chronicle, a remarkable record
of life on the island off Tasmania where a number of Aboriginal
people had been forced to resettle. Copied by hand, it describes
the settlement in often poignant terms 'I am much afraid none of us
will be alive by and by as there is nothing but sickness among us.
Why don't the black fellows pray to the king to get us away from
this place?' Starting with this extraordinary newsletter, Michael
Rose has brought together examples of Aboriginal journalism from a
wide range of Aboriginal and mainstream publications. He includes
articles from early activists and others who used newspaper and
magazine journalism in their fight for justice. For The Record also
offers the reader an unusual glimpse, through Aboriginal eyes, of
key issues and events in Aboriginal and Australian history.
Included in the dozens of articles selected: protests about poor
treatment on reserves in the 1930s, an eyewitness account of a
Maralinga atomic bomb test in the 1950s, Bill Rosser's reporting of
life on Palm Island, Kevin Gilbert's passionate call for a formal
treaty between Aboriginal people and the Australian government and
Poel Pearson's commentary on the High Court's Mabo decision.
Over the past 40 years, life in Timor-Leste has changed radically.
Before 1975 most of the population lived in highland villages,
spoke local languages, and rarely used money. Today many have moved
to peri-urban lowland settlements, and even those whose lives
remain dominated by customary ways understand that those of their
children will not. For the Atoni Pah Meto of Timor-Leste's remote
Oecussi Enclave, the world was neatly divided into two distinct
categories: the meto (indigenous), and the kase (foreign). Now
matters are less clear; the good things of the globalised world are
pursued not through rejecting the meto ways of the village, or
collapsing them into the kase, but through continual crossing
between them. In this way, the people of Oecussi are able to
identify in the struggles of lowland life, the comforting and often
decisive presence of familiar highland spirits.
The part of the Suffolk coast that embraces Southwold and Aldeburgh
has a rich history in its relationship between its inhabitants and
the North Sea. This is a paradise for writers, artists, walkers,
bird watchers and all those who want a holiday away from some of
the excesses of the typical seaside resorts. There are golden
sands, shinglebanks, crumbling cliffs, lost towns, heathland walks
and all the time the restless sea rolling in. 'There is no sea like
the Aldeburgh sea, it speaks to me,' wrote the poet Edward
Fitzgerald and it still speaks to anyone who wants to hear it that
visits this fascinating area. Michael Rouse's photographs capture
the places today, while the selection of old photographs record
holidaymakers and scenes from over one hundred years ago. This is a
nostalgic journey back in time for residents and visitors alike.
During the 1980's, British trade unionism confronted its greatest
challenge, and suffered its greatest reverses, since the inter-war
period. After a decade of rapid growth, the unions experienced a
steep decline in membership, and a virtual marginalization in
national political affairs. By 1990, a united, self-confident,
social movement as well as a powerful industrial bargainer, often
seemed more closely akin to a demoralized collection of special
interest groupings. This book addresses a number of fundamental
questions raised by the record of these years. It examines the
reasons for membership loss and the implications for trade union
influence in the workplace. It looks at the steps the unions took
in reaction to the membership problem and the difficulties they
confronted doing so. It also looks at whether this period can be
seen as making a fundamental break with the past, resulting in
irretrievable loss by British trade unionism of its former
important position in British society and the British workplace, or
whether the past decade has been but a temporary recession and the
future can still see revived movement. This book is intended for
scholars, postgraduates, and 3rd year

Standing on what was one of the largest islands in the
Cambridgeshire Fens, Ely has a rich and varied history. The Story
of Ely takes an engaging look at this cathedral city from the
earliest times to the modern day, recalling pivotal events and
taking into account its unique architectural development and
heritage. Illustrated with evocative images, the book brings to
life Ely's history, from its annual fairs and the war years, to
powerful bishops and famous residents. Well-known local historian
Michael Rouse combines a lively tone with authoritative research to
create a unique narrative on his beloved city and the people who
have made it.
In Prohibition-era New York City, Eunice Ritter, an indomitable
ten-year-old girl, finds work in a sweat shop-an industrial
laundry-after impairing her older brother with a blow to the head
in a sibling tussle. When the diminutive girl first enters the
sorting room, she encounters a giant: Gussie, the largest human
being she has ever seen. Gussie, a powerful, hard-working woman,
soon becomes Eunice's mentor and sole friend as she finds herself
entrapped in the laundry's sorting room by the Great Depression,
sentenced to bring her low wages home to her alcoholic parents as
penance for her childhood mistake. Then, on her sixteenth birthday,
Eunice becomes pregnant and her drunken father demands that the
culprit marry his daughter, trapping her anew-this time in a
loveless marriage, along with a child she never wanted. Within a
couple of years, Eunice makes a grave error and settles into a
lonely life of drudgery that she views as her own doing. She spends
decades in virtual solitude before her secret history is revealed
to those from whom she has withheld her love. An epic family saga,
The Sorting Room is a captivating tale of a woman's struggle and
perseverance in faint hopes of reconciliation, if not redemption.
Felixstowe owes its existence to the 19th-century fashion for
seaside holidays when the gentry and businessmen chose to build
their summer residences in the parishes of Walton and Felixstowe.
In earlier centuries Walton had been the more significant
settlement, with a manor and a castle. Even the later fort guarding
the Suffolk side of Harwich harbour was often considered to be part
of Essex. When the Dutch landed on the Common in 1667 and were
defeated by Land guard Fort's garrison, all England heard of the
place and King Charles II himself paid them a visit. Join Mike
Rouse on this fascinating visual journey around this popular and
colourful town, as he shows us what affect history has had on the
area through time. This new collection of photographs, carefully
selected by the author, is sure to surprise and delight residents
and visitors alike.
These 18 fun tunes for violin and piano are ideal for every party
time and conjure up a variety of scenes and images to fire the
young player's imagination. They are also skilfully written for
beginners, with the shapes of tunes reinforcing basic fingering
patterns and with simple matters gently presented. All the pieces
are in first position with the fingers in the standard major key
pattern, and the tunes cleverly exploit scale shapes to provide
plenty of practice of this basic but essential finger-work. Some
pieces concentrate on E-string or G-string notes; others include
pizzicatos, simple two-note slurs or basic bow retakes. The easy
piano parts provide a colourful and supportive accompaniment in a
range of styles and moods, and adults and children alike will love
the witty cartoons printed alongside some of the pieces. Many of
the pieces are perfectly suited to ABRSM's Preparatory Test.

The Cambridgeshire Fens lie north of Cambridge and share boundaries
with Lincolnshire and Norfolk. Until the seventeenth century the
fens were marsh and swamp, with wide sluggish rivers. Those that
could survive the damp and the fen ague made a living catching
fish, wildfowling and cutting sedge and reeds. After the drainage,
which revealed the rich fertile peat soil, man battled with
flooding and isolation to create the richest farming land in the
country. At the moment a car is essential to reach most areas, but
new cycle ways are taking shape and there is great potential for
tourism and recreation to boost the local economy. The Wicken Fen
vision and the Great Fen project are developing to recreate some of
the old Fenland habitat alongside the intensive farming. Welcome to
one of the most fascinating areas of our diverse country.
Lowestoft, on the Sunrise Coast, is as far east as you can be in
the United Kingdom without getting your feet wet. Once a major
fishing port, the town was reinvented by Samuel Morton Peto in the
nineteenth century as a resort to rival Brighton. Suffering from
the decline of these industries, Lowestoft now seeks to become the
onshore centre for the renewable energies industry. Michael Rouse's
photographs chart some of these changes, from the loss of the old
fishing industry to the town's need to cater for modern
holidaymakers with car parks and enhancement schemes along the
beautiful South Beach. He travels outside Lowestoft to the once
sea-threatened villages of Pakefield and Kessingland, to the
crumbling cliffs of Corton and its holiday villages, and finally to
the colourful Oulton Broad.
In this major new book leading sociologists, economists, and social
psychologists present their highly original research into changes
in jobs in Britain in the 1980s. Combining large-scale sample
surveys, personal life-histories, and case studies of towns,
employers, and worker groups, their findings give clear and often
surprising answers to questions debated by social and economic
observers in all advanced countries. Does technolgoy destroy skills
or rebuild them? how does skill affect the attitudes of employees
and their managers towards their jobs? Are women gaining greater
skill equality with men, or are they still stuck on the lower rungs
of the skill and occupational ladders? The book also takes up
neglected issues (what do employees really mean by a skilled job?
how does skill-change link with changes in social values?) and
challenges and discredits the widely held view that new technology
has de-skilled the workforce. Skill and Occupational Change
exploits the richest single data-set available in contemporary
Europe and the authors exemplify many new techniques for
researching skills at work: as an economic resource, as a motor of
occupational change, and as a basis for personal careers and
identity. It provides the most comprehensive, authoritative, and
carefully researched set of conclusions to date on skill trends and
their implications and draws the authoritative new map of
skill-change in British society.
