Something More Permanent A story of friendship, devotion and betrayal. Carol and Pamela in their late forties, married and post child rearing are dear friends and at times near to expressing their affection physically. Both having been faithful wives, they share their sexual fantasies and eventually begin extra-marital relationships. Around the same time Carol’s husband Gus also begins an affair. He had been on a two-year hiatus from years of infidelity. These are nice people doing naughty things. Self-absorption does not stop Carol and Pamela from being good parents and dedicated volunteers for a mentoring organization and does not stop Gus from being a supportive husband and parent. By chance he becomes involved in the rescue of an endangered fourteen-year boy, thus becoming involved with his family. This begins to broaden Gus’s interests and circle of concern, and he begins to face things that had been suppressed. Against a backdrop of children advocacy, child endangerment, domestic violence and thought-provoking issues, Carol and Gus attempt to deal with their infidelity and other attachments. There are twists and surprises. Questions are answered, and others are raised, one being, why do two people who respect, admire and continue to be attracted to each other look elsewhere?

Temporary agency work has been a central topic of employment discourse in recent years, and the flexible working arrangements it can provide individuals and organisations has served to increase this attention in the current economic climate. Temporary employment agencies can provide organisations with fast access to potential staff and individuals with a variety of flexible working opportunities. However, negative worker experiences and the lack of contractual protection have been a source of criticism that resulted in the EU’s adoption of the Agency Workers Directive towards the end of 2011. This study is concerned with assessing the impact of the UK temporary employment industry in assisting agency workers since the year 2000, and incorporates four research questions: (1) To what extent have temporary employment agencies provided employment opportunities to vulnerable groups since the year 2000? (2) How are individuals psychologically affected by working as temporary agency workers, and what are the implications? (3) Individual agency workers often interact with several different groups including temporary employment agencies, third party employers, permanent workers and trade unions. Are there tensions that exist between these groups, and how do they manifest themselves? (4) Recent legislative development has occurred with the adoption of the Agency Workers Directive. What are the implications for individual agency workers and temporary employment agencies? The study incorporates semi-structured interviews with agency workers and their permanent colleagues, as well as recruitment consultants and their clients. Additional data from participants’ follow-up interviews and analysis of researcher diary extracts serve to build a picture of the temporary employment industry at an individual and organisational level. The findings of the study include the influence that motive can have upon how agency workers view their ensuing employment, the negative psychological impact that reduced contractual obligation can have upon the individual, and the detrimental outcomes that can result from the short-term and cyclical nature of agency employment. Further findings are also discussed, and the text concludes by outlining the study’s contribution to knowledge.

From the end of the Second World War to the early 1980s, the North American norm was that men had full-time jobs, earned a "family wage," and expected to stay with the same employer for life. In households with children, most women were unpaid caregivers. This situation began to change in the mid-1970s as two-earner households became commonplace, with women entering employment through temporary and part-time jobs. Since the 1980s, less permanent precarious employment has increasingly become the norm for all workers. Working Without Commitments offers a new understanding of the social and health impacts of this change in the modern workplace, where outsourcing, limited term contracts, and the elimination of pensions and health benefits have become the new standard. Using information from interviews and surveys with workers in less permanent employment, the authors show how precarious employment affects the health of workers, labour productivity, and the sustainability of the traditional family model. A timely and relevant work for uncertain economic times, Working Without Commitments provides helpful information for understanding the present workplace and securing better futures for today's workforce.

How Non-Permanent Workers Learn and Develop is an empirically based exploration of the challenges and opportunities non-permanent workers face in accessing quality work, learning, developing occupational identities and striving for sustainable working lives. Based on a study of 100 non-permanent workers in Singapore, it offers a model to guide thinking about workers’ learning and development in terms of an ‘integrated practice’ of craft, entrepreneurial and personal learning-to-learn skills. The book considers how strategies for continuing education and training can better fit with the realities of non-permanent work. Through its use of case studies, the book exams the significance of non-permanent work and its rise as a global phenomenon. It considers the reality of being a non-permanent worker and reactions to learning opportunities for these individuals. The book draws these aspects together to present a conceptual frame of ‘integrated practices’, challenging educational institutions and training providers to design and deliver learning and the enacted curriculum not as separate pieces of a puzzle, but as an integrated whole. With conclusions that have wider salience for public policy responses to the rise of non-permanent work, this book will be of great interest to academics and researchers in the fields of adult education, educational policy and lifelong learning.

"Farming on the Edge contains a story that needs repeating throughout our land. It is a reminder that cities cannot exist without country, that farmers, neglected by society, are in fact a living heritage as important to our development as schools, music and art, to be honored and treasured. . . . It is our responsibility to sustain life on our farms, supporting farmers and a way of life that has always been the foundation and basis of culture."--Paul Hawken, Smith & Hawken "A great book! Marin County has made a wonderful start in making the Bay Area greenbelt a reality."--Larry Orman, Executive Director, Greenbelt Alliance "An unusual glimpse into a community that has succeeded in preserving its agricultural heritage."--Ralph Grossi, President, American Farmland Trust
