The Bride Factory

Known as the 'Gate to Mecca' or 'Bride of the Red Sea', Jeddah has been a gateway for pilgrims travelling to Mecca and Medina and a station for international trade routes between the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean for centuries. Seen from the perspective of its diverse population, this first biography of Jeddah traces the city's urban history and cosmopolitanism from the late Ottoman period to its present-day claim to multiculturalism, within the conservative environment of the Arabian Peninsula. Contextualising Jeddah with developments in the wider Muslim world, Ulrike Freitag investigates how different groups of migrants interacted in a changing urban space and how their economic activities influenced the political framework of the city. Richly illustrated, this study reveals how the transformation of Jeddah's urban space, population and politics has been indicative of changes in the wider Arab and Red Sea region, re-evaluating its place in the Middle East at a time when both its

Once we have claimed our freedom in Christ, how do we remain in it to ensure that we become the people God is calling us to be? How do we know what God is calling us to be anyway? Are the goals we have for our lives in line with His goals? How on earth do we stop other people getting in the way of our growth to fruitfulness? And how do we avoid getting in their way? The You God Planned answers these questions and shows how we can play our part in the Church, the Bride of Christ, as she prepares herself for His return.

This book examines and evaluates various private initiatives to enforce fair labor standards within global supply chains. Using unique data (internal audit reports and access to more than 120 supply chain factories and 700 interviews in 14 countries) from several major global brands, including NIKE, HP and the International Labor Organization's Factory Improvement Programme in Vietnam, this book examines both the promise and the limitations of different approaches to actually improve working conditions, wages and working hours for the millions of workers employed in today's global supply chains. Through a careful, empirically grounded analysis of these programs, this book illustrates the mix of private and public regulation needed to address these complex issues in a global economy.

A forest transformed, and so much more. Even the simplest tool contains multitudes. Once a living tree, then a manufactured commodity, a pencil becomes in the hands of a young artist the key to a rich imaginative world. In this expansive, gorgeously illustrated story, author Hye-Yun Kim asks us to see and appreciate the full value--and infinite possibilities--of the seemingly mundane objects around us.

This book analyses the sources of finance used in the Yorkshire wool textile sector during a period of rapid expansion, considerable technical change and the gradual transformation from domestic and workshop production to factory industry. Although there has been much recent debate about capital investment proportions and their sources nationally, there is no other study of a region or section capable of testing various hypotheses current in the general literature of the British 'industrial revolution'. How was capital amassed in proto-industry? How important were merchants in building factories? What role did landowners and the local banking sector? What influence did trade credit and fluctuations in trade credit have on the expansion of productive enterprise? How important was reinvestment and what determined both profitability and the extent to which it was ploughed back into business? The answers to these questions have value for all students of the industrialisation process, whils

From an experienced labor organizer, a clear-eyed, gritty, yet lyrical memoir about two women fighting to organize an Arizona factory and about the transformative power of collective action. On the Line is the story of a bold, five-year campaign to unionize the dangerous industrial laundry factories in deep red Arizona, led by 25-year-old Daisy Pitkin, a newly hired organizer for UNITE, an international garment workers union, and Alma, a second-shift immigrant factory worker who risks her livelihood to lead her coworkers in their campaign for safer working conditions. Their struggle illuminates the harsh realities that workers in these factories face--routine exposure to biohazardous waste, surgical tools left in hospital sheets, and overheating machinery--as well as the ways broken U.S. labor law makes it nearly impossible for them to fight back. Their team prevails by exposing the company's retaliatory firings and threats against workers who support the union and by convincing worker

我們生活在一個工廠製造的世界中：現代生活建立在三個世紀以來的工廠生產、效率和技術進步的基礎上。但是，龐大的工廠也加劇了我們對未來的恐懼，過去，威廉•布萊克稱它們為“黑暗魔鬼工廠”。.著名歷史學家約書亞•B.弗裏曼講述了工廠的故事，並探討它如何反映了我們關於工業化和社會變革的夢想和噩夢。.他帶領讀者踏上貫穿三個世紀的全球工廠之旅，從英國的紡織廠到20世紀的美國、東歐和蘇聯的鋼鐵廠和汽車廠，再到今天中國和越南的巨型工廠。.他通過馬克思和恩格斯、查理斯•狄更斯、亞歷山大•漢密爾頓、亨利•福特和約瑟夫•史達林等批評家和擁護者追蹤關於工廠和社會進步的爭論。.他記錄了工會和工人權利組織對行業慣例的抗議行動，探討了工廠是如何成為令人驚歎的事物，讓藝術家和作家連聲驚歎，盤點了查理斯•謝勒、瑪格麗特•布林克-懷特、查理•卓別林、迭戈•裏維拉和愛德華•伯汀斯基的作品中所出現的工廠
