.Beginning Postmodernism (Beginnings)

by: Tim Woods

September 16, 1999
What isn't postmodernism? You may wonder this after reading this book. It's not modernism? It's not postpostmodernism? I don't know.

It's "Blade Runner". It's "Naked Lunch". It's Peter Handke's "Kaspar". It's "Gravity's Rainbow." So far, so good. But, unfortunately for me, postmodernism is also Deridda and Foucault, neither of whom I could make much sense of. And, with them and Baudrillard, I get the feeling that I could never read enough about history, politics, pyschology, culture, economics, art and literary criticism (not to mention architecture) to have any basis for evaluating postmodernist claims. It seems like postmodernist theorists opinionate widely and at a high level, making their claims impossible to verify. But maybe ... Read More:

.Competency-based Recruitment and Selection: A Practical Guide (Wiley Series in Strategic HRM)

by: Robert Wood, Tim Payne

April 09, 1998
I've experienced competency based recruitment in my organisation and hated it.I only bought this book to pick holes in the system. However, it has shown me that my organisation is doing an awful lot of things right and that is its implementation that is at fault. This book has given me a real insight into how the system can be improved and also how I can best sell myself within the system. Buy it if you use, implement, or just feel a victim of competency based recruitment.

.Art Deco 1910-1939

by: Tim Benton, Charlotte Benton, Ghislaine Wood

March 31, 2003

A sumptuous coffee-table book of this exuberant art style and I think it could well become the standard book on the subject. The forty essays are divided into four sections, Sources and Iconography, 1925 Paris Exhibition, Spread of Deco and finally Deco World, and I liked the way, especially in Sources and Iconography, that the authors explain how various art styles were moulded into deco art which culminated in the very influential 1925 Paris show.

I thought the last two sections were a fascinating coverage of how Art Deco spread around the world, mainly as architecture and fashion, though in Europe also as a fine art style. In North America, it influenced a huge range of commercial products. Perhaps this was the only art form that ... Read More:
