Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Disposable: When Dating is Not Loving Your Neighbor.exposes the root of selfishness pervading the dominant dating culture of today and offers a better way to find love in the 21st century.Johnson's work is a must-read for anyone, Christian or otherwise, who is pursuing a romantic relationship.-BlueInk Review (starred review) Johnson's prose is polished, powerful, and to-the-point. His observations about the defects of the current dating scene are spot-on, and his faith-based ideas on how to mitigate them are clear and well defined.A dating guide that will enlighten, encourage, and instruct Christian readers.-Kirkus Reviews What if almost everything you've heard about dating and relationships is wrong? What if it's really not about techniques or methodologies that promise success in finding that special someone? Are you tired of the dominant dating culture where people are considered disposable? Disposable explains that culture, which is based on selfishness, and draws a stark contrast between the selfishness of dating and the love called for by the great commandments, in particular, the commandment to love our neighbor. Disposable shows that these commandments would have us make friendship the basis of our relationships, including romantic ones. A historical review of marriage-minded relationships includes a discussion of how dating arose, how it evolved, and how friendship got shortchanged in the process. Practical suggestions are made for singles, and everyone is encouraged to embrace friendship-rather than selfishness-as the better basis for relationships. Thought-provoking questions are presented at the end of each chapter, which can be used for individual reflection and/or group discussion. Disposable will challenge your thinking about dating and give you a heart-check on what really counts in relationships. Disposable is suitable for younger adults trying to understand the dominant dating culture as well as for older adults trying to make sense of their past. approx. 38,000 words.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. In 1948, when elderly Anna Homeyer and her much younger husband, Charles, decided to sell their home in the Bronx and move to Pennsylvania, residents of the small town of Factoryville couldn't understand why. With no family or friends in the area, the isolated little village seemed an odd choice for strangers to relocate to. But Factoryville warmly welcomed their new neighbors, who seemed eager to fit in-at first. Soon, however, the Homeyers' pleasant disposition began to change. Anna, once highly visible and engaging, was rarely seen at all anymore, and Charles, who was always kind and neighborly, became distant and withdrawn. Local residents were baffled by their behavior. But their curiosity soon turned to suspicion when Anna Homeyer suddenly disappeared, leaving the town with a number of unanswered questions: Why was Charles Homeyer, a married man, receiving numerous lonely hearts magazines and scores of letters from unattached women all over the country? Why was he burning his wife's clothing and selling off her personal belongings? Why did he leave Factoryville, only to return with his wife's most cherished possession? Where was Anna? And what was that foul, putrid odor billowing from the Homeyers' chimney.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. A timely, eye-opening account from an award-winning reporter that reveals how layoffs in America are counterproductive and what companies can do to avoid them and help create jobs, benefiting workers, corporations, and the nation as a whole. "Effectively wrecks the claim that all this downsizing makes the country more productive, more competitive, more flexible. A strong case that the whole middle class is at risk." -The New York Times Layoffs have become a fact of life in today's economy; initiated in the mid 1970s, they are now widely expected, and even accepted. It doesn't have to be that way. In The Disposable American, Louis Uchitelle offers an eye-opening account of layoffs in America-how they started, their questionable necessity, and their devastating psychological impact on individuals at all income levels. Through portraits of both executives and workers at companies such as Stanley Works, United Airlines, and Citigroup, Uchitelle shows how layoffs are in fact counterproductive, rarely promoting efficiency or profitability in the long term. Recognizing that a global competitive economy makes tightening necessary, Uchitelle offers specific recommendations for government policies that would encourage companies to avoid layoffs and help create jobs.…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Illegal. Unamerican. Disposable. In a nation with an unprecedented history of immigration, the prevailing image of those who cross our borders in search of equal opportunity is that of a drain. Grace Chang's vital account of immigrant women--who work as nannies, domestic workers, janitors, nursing aides, and homecare workers--proves just the opposite: the women who perform our least desirable jobs are the most crucial to our economy and society. Disposable Domestics highlights the unrewarded work immigrant women perform as caregivers, cleaners, and servers and shows how these women are actively resisting the exploitation they face.…
