Odd Couple: International Trade And Labor Standards In History. By Michael Huberman. New Haven, Ct: Yale University Press, 2012. Pp. Xii, 237. $65.00, Cloth., Joshua L. Rosenbloom
Joshua L. Rosenbloom
The years between 1870 and 1914 constituted a first episode of globalization, characterized by rising levels of international trade and robust economic growth. They were also, at least in Europe, the time when important elements of the welfare state—insurance against the risks of unemployment, sickness, industrial accidents, and old age—as well as labor protections—such as factory inspection and limits on the hours of work of women and children—were first introduced.

Book Review: Law And Society (Fourth Edition: 1994), By Steven Vago, Englewood Cliffs: Prentice-Hall., Ahmad Ali Ghouri
Book Review: Law And Society (Fourth Edition: 1994), By Steven Vago, Englewood Cliffs: Prentice-Hall., Ahmad Ali Ghouri
Ahmad Ali Ghouri
My primary interest in Sociology of Law is to analyse the interconnection between social and legal orders, and understand how the socio-legal environment reflects and influences different legal structures. I take up Vago’s book “Law & Society” with this avowed purpose, and also to refine, or perhaps to realign, my sociological imagination. I am also interested to learn research techniques employed in the socio-legal context, and possible uses of such techniques in the area of law I work in. Therefore, my review of Vago’s book would not offer any critique, at least from the sociological perspectives. However, I have made …

Review Of Mob Rule Learning: Camps, Unconferences, And Trashing The Talking Head, Kirstin Duffin
Kirstin Duffin
Do you know what an unconference is? Have you attended this type of conference alternative? Have you organized a camp? If these terms have as yet gone under your radar, you will certainly be hearing more about them in coming years. Michelle Boule writes an overview to the topic and provides context for what to expect and how to apply the theory of camps and unconferences to your own conference, training session, or classroom. Boule worked as a social sciences librarian at the University of Houston from 2004-2008 and is now employed as a consultant and freelance writer. She currently …
Review Of Information Need: A Theory Connecting Information Search To Knowledge Formation, Kirstin Duffin
Review Of Information Need: A Theory Connecting Information Search To Knowledge Formation, Kirstin Duffin
Kirstin Duffin
In this book, Cole attempts to establish a framework for the information searching process. Cole analyzes information need from the perspectives of both information science and computer science. Where information science considers the need as sensory (perceptual-cognitive), computer science views information need as mechanical (input-output). The book, one in the ASIST Monograph Series, is a conceptual work that presents a systematic overview of users’ information retrieval practices.
