Topics addressed include work-time reduction in the US culminating in  the 40-hour statute of 1938, recent trends in annual and weekly hours,  overtime, part-time work, temporary employment, work-family integration,  and international comparisons. She focuses on the US in a global  context and explores how a new political economy of work time is taking  shape. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book brings together existing knowledge from  sociology, anthropology, history, labor economics, and family studies to  answer its central question and will change the way upper-level  students think about the time we devote to work.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eCynthia L.
