Motes (9781931824446)

Poetry. Craig Dworkin's MOTES is an unexpected delight of sparse poems that glitter, provoke, and beg for completeness. These pieces show Dworkin's impressive range as he travels seamlessly into the reshaping of literary minimalism. Even though many of his conceptual works have echoed minimalist ideals, MOTES shifts into a more distilled frame, where both author and reader slide over a tiny handful of words only to arrive at other ends of the world: 'BRICK / Buick.' Each parcel is as hard and unstable as the gravel under our feet--Robert Fitterman. Product details Format Paperback | 84 pages Dimensions ...

Stoffwechsel : Mode Zwischen Globalisierung Und Transkulturalitat (9783412507473)

In allen Regionen der globalisierten Welt vollziehen sich komplexe Prozesse von Gestaltung, Produktion, Distribution, Zirkulation und Konsum von Kleidung. Dabei entsteht keine internationale Mode jenseits der Orte, vielmehr sind ihr ethnische, kulturelle und geschlechtliche Codierungen eingewoben. Dies gilt ebenso fur die Kollektionen der Designer/innen wie fur die alltagliche Praxis des Stylings der Konsument/innen. Anhand vielfaltiger Beispiele wird Mode hier als transkulturelles Phanomen zwischen Globalisierung und regionaler Verortung betrachtet.

Social Security Administration : Management and Service Challenges (9781629489278)

From a customer service perspective, the Social Security Administration (SSA) has set a standard for superior customer service among governmental agencies. It has historically received high marks from beneficiaries, and most Americans do not have to travel far to reach a SSA field office, where they can apply for benefits, become a representative payee for someone incapable of managing his or her finances, or apply for a name change after marriage. Yet continuing budget constraints, which began at the start of the decade, have forced SSA to make difficult decisions to reduce service to the public. At a time when Baby Boomers are retiring and filing disability and retirement claims at record numbers, SSA has shed 11,000 workers agency-wide over three years. This book discusses the reduction in face-to-face services at the SSA; provides a report on the policies and procedures for closing and consolidating field offices; long-term strategies for addressing key management strategies; and b...
