Voyages on all the great rivers of the world, paddling over twenty-five thousand miles in a rubber dress A rare tale of travel and adventure Thrilling experiences in distant lands, among strange people. A book for boys, old and young.
A classic of American travel and adventure narrative, this rare and nearly-forgotten text details the life of "water-god" Paul Boyton (as he was dubbed in Morocco). Boyton gained international fame in the 1870s for traversing rivers and straits in an early dry-suit made of rubber, drifting or paddling his body through the water like a kayak. Boyton was the first to cross the English Channel without a vessel--but because his suit had buoyant air pockets and he used a paddle, Matthew Webb and not Boyton is credited as the first person to swim across the Channel. Boyton later opened the first self-contained amusement park in Chicago, followed by parks in San Francisco and Coney Island, securing his place in the history of popular recreation.

Reassessing Human Resource Management
Paul Blyton; Peter J Turnbull
SAGE Publications Ltd
1992
sidottu
Drawing on a wide range of organizational examples, this book brings a new balance to assessing the role and impact of HRM. It looks at the core assumptions of an HRM perspective, and at what happens when organizations seek to implement HRM. The contributors show that there are a number of tensions and contradictions inherent in an HRM concept that raise central issues for practice. They demonstrate that HRM is one approach to employee management that will tend to prevail in certain contexts and conditions rather than universally. Specific themes include: HRM and competitive success; organizational culture and HRM; HRM, flexibility and decentralization; reward management and HRM; HRM, Just-in-Time manufacturing and new technology; HRM and trade unions; HRM as the management of managerial meaning.

First published in 1985, this book examines the major components of working time from an international perspective, considering the individual aspects of working time, with particular emphasis on the argument that work should be shared to alleviate unemployment and the case for further increasing the flexibility and choice in working arrangements. Paul Blyton reviews working time since the Industrial Revolution, when a strict time-frame was first imposed on workers, and the growth in work-sharing, flexitime, part-time working and changes to the retirement age.
