The Time Bind is one of this decade's most influential studies of our work/family time-dilemma. For three years at a Fortune 500 company, Arlie Russell Hochschild, the best-selling author of The Second Shift, interviewed everyone from top executives to factory hands. What she found was startling news: none of these working parents was taking the company up on chances for flex-time, paternity leave, or other "family-friendly policies." Instead, they were fleeing homes invaded by the pressures of work, while the workplace seemed transformed into a strange kind of surrogate home. Hochschild paints a picture of spouses as efficiency experts, children as emotional bill-collectors, and parents who feel like helpful mentors mainly to their workmates. "An important, provocative, ground-breaking analysis" (Newsweek), The Time Bind exposes the rifts in our crunch-time world and reveals how the way we live and work isn't working anymore.

"Working Families is a pioneering study by scholars of great capability and insight. This book is a gold mine of observations and information about new approaches to the study of work and family."—Arlene Daniels, co-editor of The Most Difficult Revolution "Hertz and Marshall have pulled together an impressive collection. The range of well-known authors provide a broad perspective by looking at both women and men across class, work site, and race. Working Families provides cutting edge and original contributions that go well beyond previous research on work and families."—Naomi Gerstel, author of Families and Work "The information age is transforming family life and the relationships between families, the workplace, and larger society. Working Families moves the discussion of work and family beyond the simplistic notion of 'balancing' by examining the complexity and diversity of everyday family life, as well as the wider economic and political contexts of our current dilemmas."—Arlene Skolnick, author of Embattled Paradise: The American Family in an Age of Uncertainty "The worlds of work and family in which we live our lives are ever more complex. This important volume sheds lights on the issues faced by working families at home, at work, and in their community."—Kathleen Christensen, Director, Program on Working Families, Alfred P. Sloan Foundation

Cyber Wisdom is philosophy of computing. All it takes, says its thesis, is to be satisfied. But how that satisfaction is accomplished is difficult. That is why, when the computer is the mind amplifier, the resonance of the satisfaction builds greatest when only a little time is given. Cyber Wisdom is computer satisfaction to the user without any physical specific machine to run with. Its philosophy is like a medicine upon withdrawal from physical use of computing machines. That medicine will come to be satisfaction, wellness, and resonance, inside the intense emotional need to know the wisdom of the machine. But enough of what Cyber Wisdom “is”. Just, what is it all about? People pay a lot of money for cups which come with water as part of the deal. But to get more water people have to buy a whole other cup to get the water more. Cups get bigger, nicer, better, and they come with water. But they drink it; then they have to buy a whole other cup, to get water again. People are thirsty but they have to buy the cup to get the water inside. But all of a sudden there is a well. No matter how cheap or expensive the cup, water is cheap and plentiful. This is bad for they who make cups. People don’t need to buy the latest and greatest. But it is very good business for they who tend the well - telling the cup-owners you don’t need the bigger and better cup; it is the water you want, anyway. The water itself is free; it has always been free; just now it is available to all. This just means that for most people, the idea of the computer looms larger than knowing the computer itself. That computers became popular not because people were told the wisdom of the machine; they saw themselves in the image of the machine. People’s minds would profit from the mind amplification that computers did. The power of the computer priests kept the love of the amplified mind together in computing systems; witness IBM. And the coordination where each cup carrying more and more water is communicated to more and more people happened; witness Steve Jobs, or Bill Gates, building successful cups. But people still wanted water; there was Google, and the internet. So now people are wanting meaning in their lives; Facebook is the current thought, and Twitter searches for the now. But philosophy of computing watches at what is permanent in the computing game. What is it about mind amplification that is real and fascinating and keeps us permanently at the keyboard of life. People are beginning to realize that loudness is not the only thing to listen to. That water, though frozen, will contain itself; there is that cup. Although cups are necessary, it is not necessary for time to run so quick, for healing, resonance, recovery, from all the interruptions that pass through life. Water is the randomness that the mind needs to have to function and flourish well. Randomness is as essential to the mind as reality is necessary to the body. Don’t be too loud you can’t listen! The water is the blood, and the spirit, that witnesses. Where what the computer is, it is the reflection of what it hears. And each person makes the choice themselves, often from what the person knows, to the path before them. Cyber Wisdom will help a great deal for each person to make the wise choice, on how to deal with computers, in their lives. Complexity is where you find it. It is not too late to change, and it is not too late, to stay the same.

Examination of the debate surrounding Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

Also analyses other contributing factors such as social and economic changes, parental depression and classroom management issues. Includes contributor notes and references. Published in both paperback and PDF formats.

This book outlines the history and developments of interactionist social thought through a consideration of its key figures. Arranged chronologically, each chapter illustrates the impact that individual sociologists working within an interactionism framework have had on interactionism as perspective and on the discipline of sociology as such. It presents analyses of interactionist theorists from Georg Simmel through to Herbert Bulmer and Erving Goffman and onto the more recent contributions of Arlie R. Hochschild and Gary Alan Fine. Through an engagement with the latest scholarship this work shows that in a discipline often focused on macrosocial developments and large-scale structures, the interactionist perspective which privileges the study of human interaction has continued relevance. The broad scope of this book will make it an invaluable resource for scholars and students of sociology, social theory, cultural studies, media studies, social psychology, criminology and anthropology.
