Sex and the Workplace. San Francisco: Jossey- Bass, 1985. 216p. $19.95. Sex and the Workplace is a title that in the author's own words, "connotes a sexy image that sounds like fun." In contrast, this work is a serious and comprehensive treat- ment of sexual harassment in the workplace. The author's goal is to explore how and why sex becomes a tangible problem for individuals and organizations, examine how organizations unwillingly encourage problematic sexual behavior, and recommend methods of managing potential problems. The first two objectives are treated more comprehensively than the third. Kahne, Hilda. Reconceiving Part - Time Work: New Perspectives for Older Workers and Women. Totowa, N.J. : Rowman & Allan, 1985. 159p. $35.00. Hard cover. Restructuring Work to accommodate the individual - of whatever age - seems to be a good idea from both the individual's and the employer's standpoint. This book looks at the demographics of existing social policy and union views; then moves on to consider individual and institutional options for moving toward a more varied set of approaches to getting the job done. The author admits that there is need for seme further 11 ------- NOVEMBER 1987 research, but has indicated the potential payoffs as well as where some available pitfalls lie. Kogan, Marcos, ed. Ecological Theory and Integrated Pest Management Practice. New York, N.Y. : Wiley, 1986. 362p. illus. $54.95. On account of the gap between tenets of ecological theory and designs of pest management systems, seme of North America's most astute and provocative ecological theorists and ecologically minded pest management proponents came together for the symposuim of which this collection of 12 papers is the proceedings. The work gives an incisive overview on how the approach to pest control has proceeded from "brute force" tactics of pesticide overuse to IFM tactics & makes a compelling case for an approach that embraces much greater recognition of large - area, ecosystem - level processes and gentler, less frequent intervention. Smith, Perry M. Taking Charge. Washington, D.C. : National Defense University Press (available fran U.S. GPO), 1986. 234p. $7.00. This is not the usual fare for students in management or organization behavior courses. Rather it takes a very practical approach to leadership in organizations. While the author refers to the academic literature in his text, he does not analyze it or dwell upon it but uses it to make practical points about organizations. Although many of his examples are drawn from his military experience, few of the lessons relate to military organizations. The book is relevant and useful to executives in any large organization. Stoirmel, Henry. A View of the Sea. Princeton, N.J. : Princeton University Press, 1987. 165p. illus. $19.95. The author has interesting and often original views about life in general and science in particular, sane of which shine through in the anecdotes and "one - liners" that enliven every chapter of what seems to be a highly successful attempt to explain important aspects of the ocean circulation to a wide audience. 12 ------- NOVEMBER 1987 WHAT'S HAPPENING Here's a selection of conferences which might be of interest.

Existing literature suggests that shopping malls do not necessarily generate hazardous wastes per se, but the congestion and traffic jams in shopping centers contaminate the air. Cars are deemed to be the single major producer of pollutants in these environments, adversely affecting public health. Attempts at pedestrian zoning or creating traffic-free zones for malls is a recourse that has been tried. Pedestrians, long relegated to crowded sidewalks are starting to venture out into streets wrested from automobiles. Another solution is requiring cars to have the latest in snog controls to achieve healthful air quality. References: Brambilla, Roberto and Gianni Lango.
