Its sheer functionality, connectivity and accessibility make the Internet an information force to be reckoned with. However, there is very little qualitative data on how the Internet is impacting upon information-seeking in the workplace. The Media and the Internet is a crucial piece of research into how journalists and other media workers are actually using this new resource. Using largely unstructured interviewing techniques, more than three hundred journalists and media librarians were surveyed. The findings are highly relevant to all those working in information-intensive sectors.Contents: Project information; Abstract; Introduction; Methods; Literature review; Size and growth of the Internet; Patterns of use and user characteristics; The special case of journalists; Conclusions; Internet use and users; Internet issues; Case studies; Conclusion; References; Appendices

Victor Tausk (1879 1919) var en av Sigmund Freuds begåvade lärjungar. Mest känd blev han för att ha givit oss inblickar i schizofrenins hemligheter i sin utmanande studie om Påverkansmaskinen som han fascinerats av i mötet med patienter.Vänskapen med Freud kom emellertid att bli djupt destruktiv för honom. Intrigerna i dennes hägn ledde till ett av den psykoanalytiska rörelsens mest dramatiska ögonblick, något som återspeglas i Peter Coles diktverk, så fyllt av freudianska och judiska allusioner. Betraktandet av psykoanalys som en Jüdische Wissenschaft löper som en tråd genom boksidorna där Cole på ett intrikat vis flätar samman den nya revolutionerande människosynen, poesins paradoxer och judisk mystik. Victor Tausks tragiska och sammansatta öde i de hisnande känslostormarnas utmarker kläds här i poetisk dräkt.Peter Cole (f. 1957) är mångfaldigt prisbelönt amerikansk poet och översättare. Han är bosatt i Jerusalem och i USA, där han undervisar vid Yale-universitetet.

"Cole's splendid ear orchestrates awakenings." --Forrest Gander, author of Twice Alive Peter Cole's luminous new book is in many ways his freest and most moving to date. In Draw Me After, Cole evolves a supple, singular music that charts regions of wonder and danger, from Eden as a place of first response and responsibility to modern sites of natural and political catastrophe. At the heart of the volume lie two remarkable series: one translates drawings by Terry Winters into a textured language spun from the material abstractions of Winters's art; the other winds through the book in dreamlike fashion, offering prismatic and often haunting meditations on the letters of the Hebrew alphabet--in kabbalistic tradition, the building blocks of existence. Inventive and receptive, physical, metaphysical, and playful, Cole's poetry disturbs and enchants with "a quiet, streaming power . . . that leads the reader back to it over and over again" (Ray Gonz lez, The Bloomsbury Review).

Philip Taft Labor History Book Award, Labor and Working-Class History Association (LAWCHA) and the Cornell ILR School, 2019 A Black Perspectives Best Black History Book of 2018 Dockworkers have power. Often missed in commentary on today's globalizing economy, workers in the world's ports can harness their role, at a strategic choke point, to promote their labor rights and social justice causes. Peter Cole brings such overlooked experiences to light in an eye-opening comparative study of Durban, South Africa, and the San Francisco Bay Area, California. Path-breaking research reveals how unions effected lasting change in some of the most far-reaching struggles of modern times. First, dockworkers in each city drew on longstanding radical traditions to promote racial equality. Second, they persevered when a new technology--container ships--sent a shockwave of layoffs through the industry. Finally, their commitment to black internationalism and leftist politics sparked transnational work stoppages to protest apartheid and authoritarianism. Dockworker Power not only brings to light surprising parallels in the experiences of dockers half a world away from each other. It also offers a new perspective on how workers can change their conditions and world.
