Human Resources
Corporate management is the use of humans as resources. So is vampirism. What would happen if a vampire were to take over a company and reorganize it? And if that vampire were to feed not only on fresh blood, but also on fresh ideas? This is the basis for Floyd Kemske's third corporate nightmare, a humorous but frightening look at corporate re-engineering. This is a case study you won't find in any textbook.
The Virtual Boss
Everyone wishes for the perfect manager, but few have their wishes fulfilled. What would happen if a software system were developed to act as everyone's perfect manager? This dream becomes reality in this very funny book filled with lots of pitch-black comedy which features a software system that learns each employees needs and weaknesses, exploiting them to make each as effective as possible. If all you need is a reminder now and then, that's what you get. If, however, you need more, then watch out!
Labor Day
It is the near future and unions have been brought to their knees. One man is working to reverse that trend. Gregg Harsh, a young union organiser working for the International Brotherhood of Labor, wants to destroy as many small companies as he can, all by the same insidious method. Stillman Colby, long since retired as the master union basher in the government's Prevention and Decertification division, is brought back to help stop Harsh. In between the two men is Kathleen, an important employee at Harsh's target company, whose free spirit attracts both men's interest but also gets in the way of their efforts.
Back to Work!
Since the current recession began in December 2007, the American economy has lost a staggering total of 6.5 million jobs. The unemployment rate is hovering near 10% for the first time in over a quarter-century. And still, each month, several hundred-thousand more people are losing their jobs. It seems as if words like “hope” and “opportunity” have gone the way of our economy. For many people, the very idea of unemployment (not to mention the reality of it) is a life-changing trauma at the top of their stress list, disrupting their lives and marriages, and even attacking their sense of self-worth. For others, this unenviable circumstance might well be a blessing in disguise—marking ...
Performing Without a Stage
Performing Without a Stage is a lively and comprehensive introduction to the art of literary translation for readers of foreign fiction and poetry who wonder what it takes to translate, how the art of literary translation has changed over the centuries, what problems translators face in bringing foreign works into English and how they go about solving these problems. This book will also be of interest to translators, writers, editors, critics, and literature students, dealing as it does, often controversially, with such matters as the translator's fidelity to the author, the publishing and reviewing of translations, the nearly nonexistent public image of the stageless translator, and the value for writers and scholars of studying and practicing translation.

The History of the Science-fiction Magazine
This third volume in Mike Ashley's four-volume study of the science-fiction magazines focuses on the turbulent years of the 1970s, when the United States emerged from the Vietnam War into an economic crisis. It saw the end of the Apollo moon programme and the start of the ecology movement. This proved to be one of the most complicated periods for the science-fiction magazines. Not only were they struggling to survive within the economic climate, they also had to cope with the death of the father of modern science fiction, John W. Campbell, Jr., while facing new and potentially threatening opposition. The market for science fiction diversified as never before, with the growth in new anthologies, the emergence of semi-professional magazines, the explosion of science fiction in college, the start of role-playing gaming magazines, underground and adult comics and, with the success of Star Wars, media magazines. This volume explores how the traditional science-fiction magazines coped with this, from the
