Out Of This Furnace: A Novel of Immigrant Labor in America
Thomas Bell University of Pittsburgh Press
"Out of This Furnace "is Thomas Bell’s most compelling achievement.  Its story of three generations of an immigrant Slovak family -- the Dobrejcaks -- still stands as a fresh and extraordinary accomplishment.
The novel begins in the mid-1880s with the naive blundering career of Djuro Kracha.  It tracks his arrival from the old country as he walked from New York to White Haven, his later migration to the steel mills of Braddock, and his eventual downfall through foolish financial speculations and an extramarital affair.  The second generation is represented by Kracha’s daughter, Mary, who married Mike Dobrejcak, a steel worker.  Their decent lives, made desperate by the inhuman working conditions of the mills, were held together by the warm bonds of their family life, and Mike’s political idealism set example for the children.  Dobie Dobrejcak, the third generation, came of age in the 1920s determined not to be sacrificed to the mills.  His involvement in the successful unionization of the steel industry climaxed a half-century struggle to establish economic justice for the workers.
"Out of This Furnace" is a document of ethnic heritage and of a violent and cruel period in our history, but it is also a superb story.  The writing is strong and forthright, and the novel builds constantly to its triumphantly human conclusion.

The Palm Beach Story
John Pym Arts & Photography British Film Institute
Illustrated Working for Paramount in the 1940s, in the shadow of war, playwright and scriptwriter Preston Sturges directed a succession of exceptional comedies of which The Palm Beach Story (1942) is perhaps the finest. An effervescent, quick-fire, perfectly timed adult fantasy about the driving forces of sex and money starring Claudette Colbert and Joel McCrea, and featuring the unforgettable Ale and Quail Club, The Palm Beach Story is classical Hollywood at its most accomplished. John Pym's finely crafted account recreates the subtlety and a dazzling energy of this near perfect film.

Personality and Organizations
D. Brent Smith Business & Investing Lawrence Erlbaum
Personality has always been a predictor of performance. This book of original chapters is designed to fulfill a need for a contemporary treatment of human personality in work organizations. Bringing together top scholars in the field, this book provides a comprehensive study of the role of personality in organizational life. Utilizing a personality perspective, scholars review the role of personality in groups, job satisfaction, leadership, stress, motivation, organizational climate and culture, and vocational interests. In addition, the book looks at more classical topics in personality at work, including the measurement of personality, personality-performance linkages, faking, and person-organization fit.

Complete in both conceptual material and reviews of the literature across the variety of domains in which personality plays a role at work, this handbook borrows the idea that personality plays out in many ways in organizations and not just a correlate of task performance. The editors believe that this book supports this belief--that personality in its many conceptualizations is a useful lens through which to shed understanding on the broadest array of contemporary topics in industrial/organizational psychology and organizational behavior. Graduate students and researchers interested in the contributions of personality to almost any topic in which they may have interest will find it valuable.

The Piano Lesson
August Wilson Literature & Fiction Plume
This book by August Wilson is a good description of the Black movement to the North in the early 20th century. It correctly shows the ins and outs of a black family life in America before emancipation years and the value placed on providing a better life in the North than was afforded earlier in generations down South. All this while sticking together and not loosing family values.



Bernice does not forget the pride the strong will along with the sense of propriety she had learned from her ancestors. Boy Willie reflects his inherited traits as well, but has that impatient irresponsibility like every kid. He is like his father in the sense that he has a strong will to own something that he could call his own that he could never do before. For Boy Charles this was the piano, but for Boy Willie it was a place called Sutters land, this is were his ancestors had worked on while the whites had control.



Each character has its own way of showing the great variety of skills and talents which the slaves were capable of when they were brought to America. Even though these masters tried to take away these skill and talents they were incapable of taking away these gods given talents to the African Americans. This is a great book and I recommend it not only to African Americans but to all races. It is a great book to read and has many morals. I recommend this book to everyone because I have enjoyed it greatly.

Pissed Off: On Women and Anger
Spike Gillespie Health, Mind & Body Seal Press
Often accused of being overly emotional and mad, Spike Gillespie offers up a lifetime's worth of anger that all women can relate to. Two parts anger and one part forgiveness, "Pissed Off" is a book about Gillespie's lifetime of anger and the inevitable fallouts that ensued, which she uses, along with other women's stories, to describe the positive and negative influences of anger in women's lives. Gillespie's portraits depict anger that stems from interpersonal relationships toward coworkers, offspring, parents, and strangers. Her stories and observations are simultaneously funny and wrenching, providing the backdrop for universal experiences that range from irritation to fury.
Gillespie is opposed to the notion that women must quell their anger rather than examine it. Her message is that anger is a destructive force for those who allow it to consume them, but that anger can also be a useful catalyst. Her observations of forgiveness are about releasing that anger when its usefulness has faded, finding balance, and unlearning habitual anger. She has learned that one cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war, and that finding balance and happiness is about forgiving others their transgressions and making space to move on.

The Pity of It All: A Portrait of the German-Jewish Epoch, 1743-1933
Amos Elon History Picador
In this important work of historical restoration, Amos Elon shows how a persecuted clan of cattle dealers and wandering peddlers was transformed into a stunningly successful community of writers, philosophers, scientists, tycoons, and activists. In engaging, brilliantly etched portraits of Moses Mendelssohn, Heinrich Heine, Karl Marx, Hannah Arendt, and many others, Elon traces how a small minority came to be perceived as a deadly threat
to German national integrity.

Policy Paradox: The Art of Political Decision Making, Revised Edition
Deborah Stone Nonfiction W. W. Norton
Since its debut, "Policy Paradox" has been widely acclaimed as the most accessible policy text available. Unlike most texts, which treat policy analysis and policy making as different enterprises, "Policy Paradox" demonstrates that "you can't take politics out of analysis." Through a uniquely rich and comprehensive model, this revised edition continues to show how real-world policy grows out of differing ideals, even definitions, of basic societal goals like security, equality, and liberty. The book also demonstrates how these ideals often conflict in policy implementation. In this revised edition, Stone has added a full-length case study as an appendix, taking up the issue of affirmative action. Clear, provocative, and engaging, "Policy Paradox "conveys the richness of public policy making and analysis.

The Politics
Trevor J. Saunders World Literature Penguin Classics
Twenty-three centuries after its compilation, "The Politics" still has much to contribute to this central question of political science. Aristotle's thorough and carefully argued analysis is based on a study of over 150 city constitutions, covering a huge range of political issues in order to establish which types of constitution are best - both ideally and in particular circumstances - and how they may be maintained. Aristotle's opinions form an essential background to the thinking of philosophers such as Thomas Aquinas, Machiavelli and Jean Bodin and both his premises and arguments raise questions that are as relevant to modern society as they were to the ancient world.
