It shows why these trivial features are not trivial, but add up to a good part of what all work is composed of. Finally, it considers why the women interviewed in this study encountered and experienced their professional careers in the ways they did. There are many books on the general subject of women at work and the sociology of work, but few deal with what the work consists of, how it is accomplished, what one needs to know to undertake it competently, and how it is experienced by the worker. This book deals with all these issues, and more, that are typically overlooked in the literature on women at work in particular and on work in general.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJERRY JACOBS is Professor Emeritus of Sociology at Syracuse University and author of 13 books, including \u003ci\u003eFun City \u003c\/i\u003e(1974, 1978, 1983), \u003ci\u003eThe Moral Justification of Suicide\u003c\/i\u003e (1982), and \u003ci\u003eThe Mall: An Attempted Escape from Everyday Life\u003c\/i\u003e (1984).\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 160\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 30, 1994\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47584431997149,"sku":"9780897893800","price":155.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/XXh9heOo_h9780897893800.webp?v=1773612914","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/professional-women-at-work-interactions-tacit-understandings-and-the-non-trivial-nature-of-trivia-in-bureaucratic-settings-hardcover","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
