Model
Letters For Everybody
By The Time Saving
References
P 299.50
It
is easier to express
one's thoughts in
the form of a letter
than in any other
way. This is because
one is usually well-acquainted
with the people to
whom one writes, and
writes very much as
one would talk.
In
letter-writing, one
ought to be natural;
but ease and naturalness
should not be allowed
to degenerate into
slipshod English and
vulgar slang. Business
and official letters
in particular, require
more care and thought
than social letters.
This
book aims to help
the reader express
his thoughts with
greater ease and confidence
by providing a variety
of model letters on
every possible situation.

The
New Careers : Individual
Action And Economic
Change
ISBM 0-7619-5932-7
By Michael B. Arthur,
Kerr Inkson and Judith
K. Pringle
P 1,925.00
The
New Careers offers
a major new approach
to the concept of
employment and the
relation of the individual
to the contemporary
workplace. It shows
that our traditional
conceptions of careers
are rooted at the
stable conditions
of the Industrial
State model which
was dominant in the
20th century and that
new models, better
attuned to the New
Economy of the late
20th and early 21st
centuries are now
needed.
Current
data show that individuals
are more mobile in
their careers than
would be assumed under
established models.
It suggests that far
from having their
careers determined
for them by larger
corporate forces,
most people enact
their careers, improvisationally,
but purposefully,
upon the texture of
economic institutions.
In
these processes, the
traditional assumption
of enduring symbiotic
relationships between
individuals and their
employers is increasingly
problematic. People
enact their careers,
and also help to enact
the companies, occupations,
industries, and society
through which their
careers unfold.
This
book points to careers
as actions rather
than structures, as
a means of learning
rather than a means
of earning, and as
boundary-less entities
rather than constrained
ones. It also points
to the return of the
career as a key concept
in social analysis,
but shows that in
the light of new phenomena,
the 'career' as we
traditionally know
it will never be the
same again.
