Employment Books

The Frontier Issues in Economic Thought summaries, along with the overview essays, provide a markedly different service from the standard collection of abstracts. The series will benefit not only scholarly work but the application of our best thinking to the problems of the times.

I bought this book simply for the list of potential employers it contains and found it to be a great resource for browsing employers in different categories. It contains web addresses, street addresses, short descriptions of what the company does, and all the companies are divided into different categories such as "Accounting and Management Consulting" or "Real Estate".

The only part that I found to be a joke is at the very beginning, concerning how to conduct a job search. The instructions are so general that they are useless and the cover letter and resume examples are only mildly useful. More importantly, information like that is already readily available in better and more detailed format on the internet, so they could really have just saved some paper and left this part out.

The bottom line is that this book is a crucial reference guide for companies you could be applying to that you didn't even know existed until you got this book. Since it narrows things down to one metropolitan area instead of a region or the nation as a whole, it allows the author to list even more employers for this specific city and with even more detail.

A must have if you are doing a focused job search!

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is doing reasearch on Child Labor and sweatshops. This book is filled with facts, and it isn't really biased. It covers both the positive and negative sides of sweatshops so you get all sides of the story.

How'd we get here? What are the REAL problems today? And most importantly of all, how do you DO IT ALL without going crazy? Offers practical ideas you can use

Lindsey o'Connor's book has become a "best friend" to me in getting my publishing company up and running. The corners of the pages are now dog-eared and my highlighter is dry from all the passages I've marked. She covers everything from organizing your closets to marketing your product. You're going to love it!

Julie Bloss has done an excellent job of providing a tool for understanding employment law in any religious organization. Whether a church, school or other ministry, she clearly explains how each law can affect the issues faced by religious organizations. The book also provides very clear examples and scenarios that help in the application of what is being read. She has taken what to many can be a difficult skill to comprehend and made it very readable and easy to understand!

Cities of Hope brings together 10 essays written by several authors, including the editors that discuss the urbanization of Latin America at the turn of the century. This volume is wonderful because, not only are the essays interesting and full of great facts, but they tie together the ideas and problems that were prevalent in Latin America. The idea of housing, high rents, disease, middle-class politics, and reform are all combined so that they reader can see how they all interacted to an ends.
If you are interested in Urban Reform, particularly in Latin America, I recommend this book!

The world of Employment Discrimination is an amazingly complex maze of legal development. Constantly changing court interpretations, burden shifting, and miniscule caveats created by Congess make this practice a headache for even the most seasoned attorney. Professor Lewis' Hornbook smoothly glides through the inter-workings of Title VII, the ADEA, Section 1981, McDonnell-Douglas, Price-Waterhouse and many other like statutes and case law. As one of Professor Lewis' current students, this book has helped me understand Employment Discrimination law more completely.

The book was everything I needed it for. I needed it for some tests and it was great for that because I passed.

I can always count on Amazon to ship my order out to me in an expedite manner!
