After Full Employment (Routledge Library Editions: Employment and Unemployment)

First published in 1986. This book analyses, at an introductory level, the four main and competing political interpretations of the cause of unemployment and the future of paid work - social democracy, free market liberalism, the disciplinary state, and utopian socialism. Considered together these four interpretations are highly revealing - and challenging. They raise considerable doubts about the viability or desirability of policies design to 'get the jobless back to work'. Keane and Owens' central argument is that the post-war policy of full male employment, as well as its politic, economic and social preconditions, are not repeatable, Starting with Keynes and Beveridge, they explain how and why full employment welfare states developed in Britain and the US, and how they had in turn been replaced by the 'strong state, free market' programmes of Thatcher and Reagan. By focusing on an issue which was, and still is, at the heart of political debate, the book provides a lucid and approachable guide to four key strands of political thought it Britain and the US. It will be an ideal introductory text for students of politics, sociology and economics.

An explosive new look at the pressures on today's teachers and the pitfalls of school reform, Confessions of a Bad Teacher presents a passionate appeal to save public schools, before it's too late. When John Owens left a lucrative job to teach English at a public school in New York City's South Bronx, he thought he could do some good. Faced with a flood of struggling students, Owens devised ingenious ways to engage every last one. But as his students began to thrive under his tutelage, Owens found himself increasingly mired in a broken educational system, driven by broken statistics, finances, and administrations undermining their own support system-the teachers. The situation has gotten to the point where the phrase "Bad Teacher" is almost interchangeable with "Teacher." And Owens found himself labeled just that when the methods he saw inspiring his students didn't meet the reform mandates. With firsthand accounts from teachers across the country and tips for improving public schools, Confessions of a Bad Teacher is an eye-opening call-to-action to embrace our best educators and create real reform for our children's futures.

For those conditioned to divide their fiction into categories, TTM2 has true crime, fantasy, dramedy, sci-fi, spec-lit, Brit-lit, chick-lit, not to mention lit-lit, as well as the exciting new genre of robot book review. But tqr is not about marketing ploys designed to sell you some contrived concept of hyphenated lit. Its only aim has ever been to publish anything that stirs the wild thing deep inside you. In tqr-speak, it's summed up in the question, "But does it touch the monkey?' Well...slap my ass and call me Sally!, not only does TTM2 touch it, it agitates the poor beast to the point of its confronting you with a smoldering gaze that seems to say, 'Oh how I wish I could bust out of this cage and rip your bloody lungs out!' The only thing you have to wonder is, 'How strong are those iron bars?'
