"Low pay. Uncertain work prospects. Diminished prestige. Why would anyone still want be a journalist? Drawing on in-depth interviews in France and the United States, Matthew Powers and Sandra Vera-Zambrano explore the ways individuals come to believe that journalism is a worthy pursuit-and how that conviction is managed and sometimes dissolves amid the profession's ongoing upheavals. For many people, journalism represents a job that is interesting and substantial, with opportunities for expression, a sense of self-fulfillment, and a connection to broader social values. By distilling complex ideas, holding the powerful to account, and revealing hidden realities, journalists play a crucial role in helping audiences make sense of the world. Experiences in the profession, though, are often far more disappointing. Many find themselves doing tasks that bear little relation to what attracted them initially or are frustrated by institutions privileging what sells over what informs. The imbalance between the profession's economic woes and its social importance threatens to erode individuals' beliefs that journalism remains a worthwhile pursuit. Powers and Vera-Zambrano emphasize that, as with many seemingly individual choices, social factors-class, gender, education, and race-shape how journalists make sense of their profession and whether or not they remain in it. An in-depth story of one profession under pressure, The Journalist's Predicament uncovers tensions that also confront other socially important jobs like teaching, nursing, and caretaking"--

"En relatant la vie de plusieurs réfractaires inconnus à travers les traces laissées dans les archives des tribunaux militaires, Marius Loris décrit les différentes formes de la désobéissance - de la contestation discrète à la résistance plus directe - parmi les soldats de l'armée française en Algérie. Si l'on connaît l'épisode du putsch d'avril 1961 ou le mouvement des rappelés en métropole contre le service militaire en 19.35-1956, les résistances quotidiennes et les déviances de guerre restent largement inconnues et sous estimées. Des épisodes d'importance mais ignorés, comme les nombreuses mutineries ayant eu lieu après les Accords d'Évian (mars 1962) jusqu'au départ définitif du contingent en 1964, ont pourtant émaillé le conflit. Comment et pourquoi des appelés ont refusé les ordres ? C'est toute la question de la discipline dans une armée en guerre que pose ce livre à un moment où le commandement ne va plus de soi. Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, le sentiment de l'honneur perdu couplé à celui de la perte de prestige de l'uniforme forme en effet un terrain explosif pour des officiers français qui se sentent méprisés et déclassés. Parallèlement, la guerre d'Algérie est aussi un moment de politisation intense du contingent, à l'image des mutations à l'œuvre dans la société française des années 1960. L'heure est au refus de l'autorité et à l'antimilitarisme. La multiplication des petits actes de résistance dans le contingent en témoigne. À la fin de la guerre, le pacte qui lie l'armée aux citoyens doit être repensé."

"Consumers make purchasing decisions every day, taking into account their needs, preferences and beliefs which may change due to various determinants; some depending on the consumers themselves and others on the organizations acting in the market. What determinants are inducing these changes in consumers` needs, perceptions, attitudes, values, and finally, purchasing behavior?

"Habit Forming explores American drug dependency from 1776 to 1914-the era when drug sales were largely unregulated-as well as Americans' growing understanding of addiction and attitudes toward habituated people; most commentators were white and middle-class, and their prevailing views, influenced by racism and classism, shaped policy. Domestic opiate use grew rapidly in the nineteenth century. Many white, middle-class women used morphine to treat pain or insomnia, enjoyed its pleasurable effects, and became addicted. Many users could hide their habit, and domestic habituation-the era's term for "addiction"-received limited attention before 1867"--
