Pressed for Time: The Acceleration of Life in Digital Capitalism
ISBN: 9780226380841 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 227 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The technologically tethered, iPhone-addicted figure is an image we can easily conjure. Most of us complain that there aren't enough hours in the day and too many e-mails in our thumb-accessible inboxes. This widespread perception that life is faster than it used to be is now ingrained in our culture, and smartphones and the Internet are continually being blamed.

In Pressed for Time, Judy...

The Sociology of Speed: Digital, Organizational, and Social Temporalities
ISBN: 9780198782865 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. There is a widespread perception that life is faster than it used to be. We hear constant laments that we live too fast, that time is scarce, and that the pace of everyday life is spiraling out of our control. The iconic image that abounds is that of the frenetic, technologically tethered, iPhone/iPad-addicted citizen. Yet weren't modern machines supposed to save, and thereby free up, time?
The purpose of this book is to bring a much-needed sociological perspective to bear on speed: it examines how speed and acceleration came to signify the zeitgeist, and explores the political...

The Politics of Working Life
ISBN: 9780199271917 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. How does the politics of working life shape modern organizations? Is our desire for meaningful, secure work increasingly at odds with corporate behavior in a globalized economy? Does the rise of performance management culture represent an intensification of work, or create opportunities for the freewheeling individual career? This timely and engaging book, by leading authorities in the field, adopts the standpoint of the 'questioning observer'. It is for those who need an informed account of work that is accessible without being superficial. The book is unique in its multi-dimensional...
