Well if you're after books, there are a few but you will find many more video related training material for the software than books.
I will list a few below but to be honest, once you get a grip of the software (know the ins and outs of the interface and such) you will be able to follow along with any Maya/3DS Max tutorial on modelling within Blender. Some things will be different but you will be able to replicate and learn the modelling techniques from them inside of Blender. Just a heads up for once you get to know the software a little better!
Video training:

An Introduction To Blender 3D: A Book For Beginners - v 2.54+
I haven't really bought many books for Blender, so I can't really suggest any other than the ones listed on the link above, but a small search on Amazon under the Books section should yield all of the results you need. Make sure to check reviews on the book and you will be sorted.
Alternatively if you have any trouble and cannot find a solution from a Google search, you will be able to get in touch with the HUGE Blender community and I am sure somebody there will at the very least try to help you.
Other Blender Communities:
Also... It might have helped if you specified what you would like to get into within modelling, organic character modelling and environmental modelling although are considered 3d modelling use different techniques and such so somebody else may have better resources for you to get going over, but my links and such are pretty much aimed at general Blender learning.
There are more resources here!!
BUT, YOU could have found all of this with a little Google search...
Kind Regards

Sorry, I was typing this post up before the two replies above mine, so there may be a few things mentioned form those in my post... I didn't steal there info and put it into my post though! lol I hope the info helps you and I agree with the above comment!!

WHITEHALL — After a proposed $22 million bond extension failed by a wide margin last May, Whitehall school officials have regrouped and scaled back the project to address what they say are "bare essentials."
The district plans to take its revised $11.6 million proposal to the Michigan Department of Treasury this month for review and then put it before voters in May, said Darlene Dongvillo, Whitehall's superintendent.
Highlights of Whitehall's revised bond proposal:
• It includes a variety of technology, facility and aesthetic upgrades at the four school buildings that were part of the original request, including a new roof, carpet and front entrance remodel at Shoreline Elementary School.
• Like in the last plan, the district plans to spend more than $3 million on districtwide technology upgrades.
• The $419,000 budget for Ealy Elementary covers a new gym floor, student lockers, additional exterior security lighting and work on the boiler system.
• Smaller projects at the middle school include new student lockers, additional security lighting, a new parking lot and student drop-off area and boiler upgrades.
• Another $600,000 will be used for parking lot work at the Community Services Building, security system improvements, new lawn equipment and seven buses.
The biggest-ticket project in the original proposal — a $16 million outdoor athletic complex with a football and soccer field with artificial turf at Whitehall High School — has been scratched.
The revised plan does include $2.7 million in upgrades to the current track and football stadium behind the old high school and another $1.4 million for new baseball and softball fields at their current location by the water tower off Sophia Street.
District officials spent the last year gathering input from residents and school employees, Dongvillo said. They started by mailing surveys to the 2,400 people who voted in the election and made the survey available online and in the district's newsletter. Roundtable discussions and a community work session followed, then committees met to narrow the scope.
The board took a hands-off approach and responded to the community's desire to reduce the total cost and spending on athletic facilities, Dongvillo said. Members considered dividing the proposal into two questions on the ballot but thought that might be confusing.
"It was quite a grass-roots process," she said. "The board listened loud and clear to the community. Members decided up front not to move the football stadium and no artificial turf."
It became clear that residents wanted to keep the football stadium and baseball and softball fields closer to town, Dongvillo said. If this bond extension passes, it will be a long-term solution and mean that sports facilities will not be centralized at the new high school off White Lake Drive anytime soon. The plan does include eight tennis courts at the new high school, due to space issues at their current location.
The varsity football team plays at the old high school field near Slocum and Warner streets. The track also has fallen into disrepair and two lanes cannot be used. The middle school team uses the same field, but has to walk across Warner to practice.
Under the plan, the existing football field would be remodeled and a new running track constructed. New restrooms, concession facilities and ticket booths also would be built there. Replacing visitors' bleachers and adding a green space play field are other improvements.

European Approach for cross-border Emergency Preparedness
The heads of the national nuclear and radiation safety regulators in Europe have developed and agreed on a new approach to further improve the response and cross-border coordination for all types of possible accident scenarios including severe accidents, like the one in Fukushima. It contains overarching principles and provides an incentive for joint actions between neighbouring countries. The regulators have committed to engage a cooperation at national level with the competent authorities in charge of civil protection for the implementation of the corresponding measures.
HERCA Action Plan in relation to the transposition and implementation of Directive 2013/59/Euratom (Euratom-BSS)
The Board of Heads of HERCA has approved on its 14th Meeting held in Stockholm on 21-22 October an Action Plan in relation to the transposition and implementation of the new Euratom BSS. The new BSS, Council Directive 2013/59/Euratom, was published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 17th January 2014 and Member States have until the 6th February 2018 to complete the process of transposition into their national regulations.
Multi-stakeholder Workshops on Generic Justification and Accidental and Unintended Exposures
On 24-27 October 2016 in Paris, HERCA will organise two multi-stakholders workshops for discussing the following issues on the transposition of the Euratom Basic Safety Standards Directive :
(1) Generic Justification of Medical Exposures using Ionising Radiation and
(2) Accidental and Unintended Exposures with major stakeholders from the medical field.
18th HERCA Board Meeting
HERCA Board will meet on 3 and 4 November 2016 in Dublin, Ireland. This meeting will be kindly hosted by the Office of radiological Protection from the Environment Protection Agency.

HERCA is a voluntary association in which the Heads of Radiation Protection Authorities work together in order to identify common issues and propose practical solutions for these issues. HERCA is working on topics generally covered by provisions of the EURATOM Treaty. The programme of work of HERCA is based on common interest in significant regulatory issues.
The goal of HERCA is to contribute to a high level of radiological protection throughout Europe. In order to achieve this goal, the association will:
- Build and maintain a European network of chief radiation protection regulatory authorities, with the definite wish to involve ALL such regulatory authorities, throughout Europe
- Promote the exchange of ideas and experiences, avoiding unnecessary duplication of work and learning from one another's best practices
- Develop a common approach to radiation protection and the way it is transposed into regulation
- Discuss and, where appropriate, express its consensus opinion on significant regulatory issues.
Participating Authorities
The Uniqueness of HERCA
The uniqueness of HERCA, as compared to other existing networks in radiation protection, is that it is composed of the Heads of the Authorities, persons who either have decision capacity or can at least have a major influence on policy and decisions within their country.

Ducks could be Detroit-bound
ANAHEIM -- The Ducks could not only clinch a Stanley Cup playoff berth Friday night, but with a certain combination of events, would know their first-round opponent.
And if things work out that way, get ready for another post-season matchup between the Ducks and Detroit Red Wings.
A parlay of a Ducks victory over the Dallas Stars at Honda Center and a Columbus Blue Jackets regulation-time triumph on the road against the St. Louis Blues would lock the Ducks into seventh place in the NHL's Western Conference, and an opening-round matchup with Detroit, which is guaranteed to finish second.
How about that -- the 2007 Stanley Cup champion Ducks against the 2008 Stanley Cup champion Red Wings?
The Ducks and Detroit have met four times in the playoffs, with the Red Wings prevailing in sweeps in the second round in 1997 and the first round in 1999, the Ducks returning the favor with a first-round sweep in 2003 and the Ducks winning in six games in the 2007 Western Conference finals.
Should the Ducks fail to beat the Stars, they could be in jeopardy of missing the playoffs entirely. In any event, the determination of opening-round matchups, as well as which of the Ducks, Blues, Nashville Predators and Minnesota Wild will fill the final two playoff spots, could go all the way to Sunday, when St. Louis completes its season on the road against the Colorado Avalanche.
The Ducks are also on the road for their final regular-season game, Saturday night against the Phoenix Coyotes.

Season finale review: 'Community' - 'Digital Estate Planning/The First Chang Dynasty/Introduction to Finality': Cruel cruel cruel
A review of tonight's three season-ending "Community" episodes coming up just as soon as I read the novelization of "The Chronicles of Riddick"...
"The truth is — the pathetically, stupidly, inconveniently obvious truth is — helping only ourselves is bad, and helping each other is good." -Jeff Winger
The darkest timeline is not real.
Within the world of "Community," we discover at the end of the season finale that it was all in Abed's head.(*) And in the real world, the darkest timeline has been averted for at least another 13 episodes, thanks to NBC's decision to order a fourth season. This maybe won't be the best of all possible timelines, as the show is going to be airing on Friday nights, and as there's a chance that Dan Harmon won't be returning as showrunner (his contract with Sony is up, and negotiations are ongoing), but it'll be a timeline where we get more adventures of Troy and Abed, Jeff and Shirley, Britta and Annie, Pierce and the Dean, and maybe even Chang (though more on him in a bit).
(*) Does this mean that the bulk of "Remedial Chaos Theory" was in Abed's imagination as well, or just the darkest timeline and its aftermath?
At the time these three episodes were made, though, Harmon had no way of knowing if NBC would grant his cult curiosity another season, while he did know that his contract was coming up and that anything could happen come negotiating time. So it's easy to imagine that he went into the end of this season fearing that, one way or another, these would be the last episodes of "Community" he would be making and planned accordingly.
Like last week's "Parks and Recreation" finale, "Introduction to Finality" seems like it was constructed as a just-in-case series-ender, from the title to the emotional place it leaves several of the characters, but especially Jeff Winger. In previous seasons, Jeff has accepted that the study group is a part of his life, but this felt like the first time where he also recognized that the study group, and Greendale, had made that life better. He was more successful when he was a lawyer, but was he this happy? Jeff finally embraces that whatever happens to his legal career (especially now that the Drew Carey character has been eaten by a shark), he has these friends, and that his time at Greendale hasn't just been a means to an end.
That's a big development for Jeff, and several other characters also come to important emotional milestones in "Finality." We realize in the final scene that Evil Abed has been our Abed all along, once again getting lost inside his own imagination, and he for the first time acknowledges that he also needs help being a better person, and in turn gives Britta a major self-esteem boost by declaring her the best one to provide that help. (And he's definitely not cured, since even though he consents to dismantle the Dreamatorium, he keeps a couple of its panels for secret future trips into the unknown.)
Troy embraces his mechanical gifts and his role as the messiah of the AC repair school — or, in other words, Troy embraces adulthood. He gets to keep hanging out with the study group, but he's already moving out of the blanket fort with Abed (the idea, I'm told, is that he'll be sleeping in the former Dreamatorium space). The Troy we see inside the sun chamber, holding another man's life and future in his hands, getting justice for Vice Dean Laybourne and calmly, confidently repairing that AC unit in a couple of seconds... that's not a goofy boy; that's a man. (Albeit one who will probably break down sobbing from time to time, because that's just too funny to lose.)
Shirley and Pierce, meanwhile, get to achieve their shared dream of starting up their own business, even if it's just a sandwich shop in the Greendale cafeteria, and Shirley and Jeff's selflessness in turn makes Pierce stop being crazy and paranoid (but not necessarily impotent) long enough to recognize that they should be equals in this venture (Shirley's idea, Pierce's money) and leave their good friend Jeff Winger as the name on the contract.
The only study group member who doesn't get major closure in "Finality" (or in any of the night's other two episodes) is Annie, but she took a major leap forward at the end of the Dreamatorium episode by getting over her crush on Jeff and also deciding on a major and a career path in hospital administration.
If "Introduction to Finality" had wound up as the last episode the show ever did, it wouldn't have been "Community" going out on its funniest note, but one that serviced as many of its large cast of characters as it could. And though Harmon had no way of knowing that NBC would wind up airing these three episodes all in the same night, combined they serve as a sampler of three of the many, many flavors this show has had to offer under his watch.
"Introduction to Finality" was the "normal" one (or as normal as you can get when one of your main characters appears to be replaced by his evil counterpart from an alternate timeline) dealing with the study group's hopes and fears as they went through various bits of college life. "Digital Estate Planning" was the esoteric high-concept one, in which the study group were transported inside a classic 8-bit video game, while "The First Chang Dynasty" was the inevitable pop culture homage, with the study group going all "Ocean's Eleven" to liberate Dean Pelton and overthrow Chang.
I wouldn't call either the best example of their type, though each had their charms. "Digital Estate Planning" wasn't incredibly laugh-out-loud, either, aside from a couple of scenes (Annie and Shirley massacring the blacksmith's family, Britta complaining about the game's racism right before the Jive Turkeys attacked), but it was cleverly done, and — like "Pillows and Blankets" earlier this spring — it took a smart right turn into more emotional territory right at the moment where the gimmick might have started to run out of steam. It helped that the episode had a great actor like Giancarlo Esposito playing the role of Pierce's secret half-brother Gilbert — as Esposito demonstrated frequently as Gus Fring on "Breaking Bad," he can demonstrate a lot of emotion with a minimal amount of movement or change in expression — and also that it mostly took Pierce seriously. (Aside from his incompetence at the game itself.) Whatever issues Chevy Chase may have with Harmon or anyone else who works on the show(**), he can do good dramatic work when called upon, and Pierce can be among the show's most moving characters when he's not just being treated as a buffoon.
(**) And if Harmon does leave, it does not mean that Sony chose Chevy over him. There are a lot of factors at play here, as I understand it. The Chevy beef was relatively minor in the scheme of things, but very public.
"The First Chang Dynasty" was the most night's most successful outing in terms of pure humor value, and it had a good command of the various tropes of caper films (including the thieves pretending to be foiled as part of their master plan) and the way they look and sound. On the other hand, it's still part of the larger framework of Chang's rise to the dictatorship of Greendale, which isn't a story arc — or an iteration of Chang as a character — that's been terribly successful. And in the end, it took him to such an extreme place — keeping Dean Pelton as his prisoner for two months and attempting to burn down the school (not realizing that fire can burn through doors, even though it's not a ghost) — that it's hard to imagine him continuing on the show anymore. (Even an attempt to do some kind of Phantom of the Greendale gag would feel redundant, since he's lived in the vents in the past.)
If this really is the close of the Harmon era, then ideally this triple-feature would have been stronger on the whole. But the world we live in isn't any more perfect than the one that's home to Abed and friends. Hopefully, Harmon and Sony come to an agreement, but if they can't, Harmon got to say goodbye with a night suggesting the breadth of what he did on the show, if not always the depth. And if he leaves, we'll still have gotten three seasons of his inspired lunacy: of Human Beings and Annie's Boobs, of John McClane vs. Chow Yun-Fat, of Britta and Pierce both being B's, of foosball and spaghetti Westerns, of "Cougar Town" monologues and White Michael Jackson, and all the rest. And then we'll see what kind of timeline we've wound up in when the show returns in its scary new timeslot.
Some other thoughts:
* "Introduction to Finality" was always intended as the season finale, but "Digital Estate Planning" was produced last because the animation required extra time to be completed. But it still felt slightly out of order, since last week ended with the study group determined to oust Chang and rescue the Dean, and there was no mention of that again until "The First Chang Dynasty."
* Call it, friendos: Doppledeaner, Deanleganger or Deanlechanger?
* This is twice now (the "Pulp Fiction"/"My Dinner with Andre" episode was the other) where Yvette Nicole brown has had to wear an awful lot of facial hair. More convincing: Shirley as a male caterer, or Annie as one of the 12-year-old boys in Chang's Army?
* I really liked the farewell to Troy scene at the end of "The First Chang Dynasty," particularly the riff on the "Lost in Translation" trope about the unheard parting dialogue.
* Another Jim Belushi put-down, this time during Evil Abed's emotional destruction of Britta.
* Star-Burns lives! I guess Dino didn't mind acting that much, if he was willing to leave a window open to returning.
* I enjoy Leonard's food reviews, but given how finale-y the rest of that episode was, it seems an odd note to close the season (and potentially the series) on. Also, have we seen his roommate (or whoever the other guy in the kitchen was) before?
What did everybody else think?

New Book on Reinventing HR
Most businesses see HR departments (as they do law departments) as necessary evils that support the overall business mission. The premise of HR from the Outside In is that HR departments should add value to the business mission itself, for example, by championing innovation and technology throughout the company.

New Book on Canadian Constitutional Labor Law
Constitutional Labour Rights in Canada: Farm Workers and the Fraser Case, edited by Fay Faraday, Judy Fudge and Eric Tucker (Irwin Law 2012). Here's a description:
On 29 April 2011, the Supreme Court of Canada released its much-anticipated decision in Attorney General of Ontario v Fraser, which dealt with the scope of constitutional protection of collective bargaining. This collection of original essays untangles the two stories that are intertwined in the Fraserdecision—the story of the farm workers and their union's attempt to obtain rights at work available to other working people in Ontario, and the tale of judicial discord over the meaning of freedom of association in the context of work. The contributors include trade unionists, lawyers, and academics (several of whom were involved in Fraser as witnesses, parties, lawyers, and interveners). The collection provides the social context out of which the decision emerged, including a photo essay on migrant workers, while at the same time illuminating Fraser's broader jurisprudential and institutional implications.

Brown's East Asian Labor and Employment Law: International and Comparative Context
Congratulations to Ron Brown (Hawaii) who has a new book coming out this month that deals with international labor law practice and the comparative aspects of labor and employment laws in Japan, China, and South Korea. The book is entitled: East Asian Labor and Employment Law: International and Comparative Context. While a general read, Ron tells us that he used it this semester in his Asian Labor Law class.
Here is a description from the publisher:
This book deals with international labor and employment law in the East Asia Region (EA), particularly dealing with China, South Korea, and Japan. It explores and explains the effects of globalization and discusses the role of international lawyers, business personnel, and human resource directors who are knowledgeable, culturally sensitive, and understand the issues that can arise when dealing in EA trade and investment. The text and readings (from area experts) are organized and written to provide the reader with, first, a broad understanding and insight into the global dimensions of the fast-emerging area of labor and employment issues (e.g., global legal standards and their interplay with domestic and foreign laws); and second, to show how these laws and approaches play out in specific EA countries (comparing global approaches with the specific laws of each country on four common agenda items: regulatory administration, workers' rights, trade unions, and dispute resolution).
The book should be of interest not only to lawyers, students, human resource personnel, and government officials, but also to business investors, managers, and members of the public interested in the growing phenomenon of changing labor laws and societies in China, South Korea, and Japan.
I have read an initial draft of this book and believe it is an original contribution to this important area of study. Pick up a copy. Here is a link to the brochure on the book, with ordering instructions.

Second Edition of The Global Workplace with Teacher's Manual
On behalf of her co-authors, Susan Bisom-Rapp (Thomas Jefferson School of Law) announces the publication on March 14th of the Second Edition of The Global Workplace – International and Comparative Employment Law: Cases and Materials.
The authorial team is the same as the First Edition: Roger Blanpain, Susan Bisom-Rapp, Bill Corbett, Hilary Josephs, and Mike Zimmer. The second edition will appear in the U.S. as an Aspen publication and in Europe, it will appear under the Kluwer Law International imprint.
Susan tells us that one of big challenges of producing the Second Edition was grappling with the global economic crisis, which is therefore featured prominently in this edition. Of course, there have also been many legal changes since the first edition was published in 2007. The authors have also completed the Teacher's Manual, which runs about 250 pages.
You can find the Aspen press release here.
I used the First edition on numerous occasions for both teaching and research purposes and have always found it a great help in assisting my understanding of how the labor and employment law regimes of other countries operate. I look forward to seeing the new edition.

New Book: American Labor Struggles and Law Histories
Carolina Academic Press has just published American Labor Struggles and Law Histories, edited by Kenneth M. Casebeer. Here are the publisher's notes:
From slave rebellions, to the Lowell Mill girls, to Wisconsin and the Tea Party; this book tells the stories of law and legal action inevitably intersecting the collective actions of workers, in triumph or in anguish, over all of United States history.
Most people assume labor actions are carried out through trade unions and, therefore, that the relevant law of labor is the regulation of a particular form of collective bargaining between the representatives of workers (unions) and the representatives of owners (management). Neither assumption is accurate. It is striking to discover that most of the key labor struggles described in this book started either spontaneously among a group of workers, or at least began out in front of a sometimes unprepared or skeptical national union leadership that had to catch up to its members. Labor has at different times chosen strategies well beyond bargaining backed by strikes, including: consumer information (the union label); boycotts; picketing; small scale and ad hoc control over the tools, speed, and process of work; occupation of industrial plants; cooperative ownership; civil rights actions; independent and/or party politics; mass exodus; or even rebellion.

Workplace Emotions
Anne Kreamer, a former executive vice president at Nickelodeon and part of the founding team of Spy magazine, has published It's Always Personal: Emotion in the New Workplace. Michelle Singletary reviews the book here for the Washington Post. Singletary writes that the book is about "what should be the rules and boundaries for showing how you feel while you work?". Singletary points out that Kreamer teamed up with advertising firm J. Walter Thompson to commission a poll to get perceptions on what leads to emotional incidents at work. The survey found:
- Nearly three in four respondents said they felt frustrated on the job.
- Forty-two percent of young men believed that anger could be an effective management tool. Only 23 percent of women felt that way.
- An overwhelming majority of workers said they had witnessed their bosses get angry about something.
- Women cry on the job more than men. Forty-one percent of women said they have cried at work, compared with just 9 percent of men. But because women are often embarrassed when the tears come, they are also the most critical of workplace weeping, Kreamer's research shows. And yet, she says just about every woman she spoke with during her research admitted to having cried at work. And they all wished they hadn't.

Gould's Bargaining with Baseball: Labour Relations in an Age of Prosperous Turmoil
William Gould (former chairman of the NLRB and professor emeritus at Stanford Law) has published: Bargaining with Baseball: Labor Relations in an Age of Prosperous Turmoil. (A link to the order form for the book can be found here).
From the press release:
In 1995, William B. Gould, IV, then chairman on the Nationa Labor Relations Board, cast the deciding vote to obtain the injunction that ended the longest strike in baseball history. Sixteen years of peaceful relations between baseball labor and management have followed, as well as unprecedented prosperity in a relationship that previously endured 30 years of strikes and lockouts. This study, which clearly illustrates the practical impact of law on America's pastime, considers the full, 140-year sweep of labor-management relationships and conflict, exploring player-owner disputes, the development of free agency, the collective bargaining process, and the racial integration of baseball, among other topics. It concludes with a discussion of the "steroids era," the problem with maintaining Jackie Robinson's legacy in the 21st century, and globalization.
As one lifelong fan of the game to another, I look forward to reading Bill's book and to my Phillies besting Bill's Red Sox in this year's World Series!

The Idea of Labour Law
Congratulations to editors Guy Davidov (Hebrew U. Jerusalem) and Brian Langille (Toronto) on the publication of their book (Oxford U. Press) The Idea of Labour Law. There is a tremendous cast of chapter authors on this book -- too many to list in this post, but they are listed on this flyer (which also entitles the reader to a 20% discount on the book). Here's the publisher's description:
Labour law is widely considered to be in crisis by scholars of the field. This crisis has an obvious external dimension - labour law is attacked for impeding efficiency, flexibility, and development; vilified for reducing employment and for favouring already well placed employees over less fortunate ones; and discredited for failing to cover the most vulnerable workers and workers in the "informal sector". These are just some of the external challenges to labour law. There is also an internal challenge, as labour lawyers themselves increasingly question whether their discipline is conceptually coherent, relevant to the new empirical realities of the world of work, and normatively salient in the world as we now know it. This book responds to such fundamental challenges by asking the most fundamental questions: What is labour law for? How can it be justified? And what are the normative premises on which reforms should be based? There has been growing interest in such questions in recent years. In this volume the contributors seek to take this body of scholarship seriously and also to move it forward. Its aim is to provide, if not answers which satisfy everyone, intellectually nourishing food for thought for those interested in understanding, explaining and interpreting labour laws - whether they are scholars, practitioners, judges, policy-makers, or workers and employers.

Forthcoming Employee Rights Employment Policy Journal Symposium on Decent Work
When I'm not teaching, writing, reading, or occasionally blogging, I'm lucky enough to get to work on every issue of the Employee Rights and Employment Policy Journal. I've learned so much by working on the articles published in this really excellent peer review specialty journal, but I rarely get the chance to post about them before the issue comes out. The issue we will send out this June is an exception.
In this issue, Susan Bisom-Rapp (Thomas Jefferson) organized a symposium on Decent Work in a Post-Recessionary World, and assembled a great group of articles on the subject. Here's a little preview:
- Janice R. Bellace (Penn's Wharton School) examines the connection between "decent work," as expressed in the ILO's 2008 Declaration and 1998 Declaration of Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, tracing the ILO's commitment to social justice back to its founding, demonstrating that the agency's purposes and goals serve as a link between the human rights principles expressed in the 1998 Declaration and the proactive stance of the ILO's decent work program, which provides a foundation for sustainable economic recovery.
- Roger Blanpain (University of Leuven (Belgium) and University of Tilburg (the Netherlands)), provides a perspective from Brussels, the capital of the European Union (EU), reviewing EU efforts to promote the goals and principles of decent work in a Europe reeling from the effects of the global economic crisis.
- Susan Bisom-Rapp (Thomas Jefferson), Andrew Frazer (University of Wollongong, New South Wales), and Malcolm Sargeant (Middlesex University Business School, London), employ decent work as a yardstick to examine how older workers fared during the global financial crisis and are faring during the recovery in Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
- Michael J. Zimmer (Loyola, Chicago), tackles the long-standing, global decline of the trade union movement and its connection to global increases in income inequality, the latter a central concern of the decent work agenda.
- Peggie R. Smith (Wash. U)examines the regulatory challenges associated with securing decent work for an economically-marginalized group, those laboring in domestic service, providing both a global and local focus
- Timothy P. Glynn (Seton Hall) writes about decent work and workplace law enforcement at a time in which many US corporations have imported a central characteristic of globalization – shifting production or services to independent thirdparty suppliers.
The symposium is an excellent introduction to international and comparative labor law, and explores many incredibly important questions surrounding the standards of living and working made more complicated by the global recession. We all should be thinking about these things if we're not already. Look for the issue to hit your local library sometime in June.

Duru's Advancing the Ball: Race, Reformation, and the Quest for Equal Coaching Opportunity in the NFL
Congratulations to Jeremi Duru (Temple) on the publication of his impressive new book: Advancing the Ball: Race, Reformation, and the Quest for Equal Coaching Opportunity in the NFL (Oxford University Press).
From the press release:
Two days before Super Bowl XLI in 2007, the game's opposing head coaches posed with the trophy one of them would hoist after the contest. It was a fairly unremarkable event, except that both coaches were African American--a fact that was as much of a story as the game itself. Head coaching in the NFL had long been a whites-only business, and just a few years earlier such a matchup was unthinkable. In 2002, however, two lawyers, Cyrus Mehri and Johnnie Cochran, together with a few grizzled NFL veterans, began a movement that would expand opportunities for coaching aspirants of color in the NFL and ultimately transform the League's racial landscape.
Featuring an impassioned foreword by Coach Tony Dungy, Advancing the Ball offers an eye-opening, first-hand look at how a few committed individuals initiated a sea change in America's most popular sport and added an extraordinary new chapter to the civil rights story.
More information on the book is available at www.advancingtheball.com. I look forward to reading this fascinating book. Everyone should check it out!

New Comparative Book
Giuseppe Casale, Ed., The Employment Relationship: A Comparative Overview (Hart Publishing 2011). Here's the publisher's description:
The issue of who is or is not in an employment relationship has become problematic in recent decades as a result of major changes in work organization as well as in the adequacy of legal regulation in adapting to such changes. In different parts of the world there is increasing difficulty in establishing whether or not an employment relationship exists in situations where the respective rights and obligations of the parties concerned are not clear, where there has been an attempt to disguise the employment relationship, or where inadequacies or gaps exist in the legal framework or in its interpretation or application. Vulnerable workers appear to suffer most in these situations. At the same time, social partners and labour administrators have emphasized that globalization has increased the need for protection against circumvention of national labour legislation by contractual and/or other legal arrangements.
The employment relationship is under ever-closer scrutiny, not only by labour lawyers, but also by workers, employers and the judiciary. Changes in the world of work have modified traditional notions of the employment relationship. These changes in the 'standard employment relationship' shape the scope of protection and application of labour legislation and automatically affect the way labour law is implemented.
This book presents the ways the scope of labour legislation applies to the realm of the employment relationship. Terms, notions, definitions, laws and practice in the various regions of the world are herein reported.

Holiday Reading
Philip Dray, There is Power in a Union: The Epic Story of Labor in America (Random House 2010), available at Amazon. Here are notes from the publisher:
From the textile mills of Lowell, Massachusetts, the first real factories in America, to the triumph of unions in the twentieth century and their waning influence today, the contest between labor and capital for their share of American bounty has shaped our national experience. Philip Dray's ambition is to show us the vital accomplishments of organized labor in that time and illuminate its central role in our social, political, economic, and cultural evolution. There Is Power in a Union is an epic, character-driven narrative that locates this struggle for security and dignity in all its various settings: on picket lines and in union halls, jails, assembly lines, corporate boardrooms, the courts, the halls of Congress, and the White House. The author demonstrates, viscerally and dramatically, the urgency of the fight for fairness and economic democracy—a struggle that remains especially urgent today, when ordinary Americans are so anxious and beset by economic woes.
Philip Dray is the author of At the Hands of Persons Unknown: The Lynching of Black America, which won the Robert F. Kennedy Book Award and made him a Pulitzer Prize finalist, and Stealing God's Thunder: Benjamin Franklin's Lightning Rod and the Invention of America, and the coauthor of the New York Times Notable Book We Are Not Afraid: The Story of Goodman, Schwerner, and Chaney, and the Civil Rights Campaign for Mississippi. He lives in Brooklyn.

Labor Rights as Human Rights
Congratulations to Colin Fenwick (Melbourne L.S.) and Tonia Novitz (U. Bristol) on the publication of their book Human Rights at Work: Perspectives on Law and Regulation (Hart Publishing, Oxford, 2010). Here are the publisher's notes:
Concerns associated with globalisation of markets, exacerbated by the 'credit crunch', have placed pressure on many nation states to make their labour markets more 'flexible'. In so doing, many states have sought to reduce labour standards and to diminish the influence of trade unions as the advocates of such standards. One response to this development, both nationally and internationally, has been to emphasise that workers' rights are fundamental human rights. This collection of essays examines whether this is an appropriate or effective strategy.
The book begins by considering the translation of human rights discourse into labour standards, namely how theory might be put into practice. The remainder of the book tests hypotheses posited in the first chapter and is divided into three parts. The first part investigates, through a number of national case studies, how, in practice, workers' rights are treated as human rights in the domestic legal context. These ten chapters cover African, American, Asian, European, and Pacific countries. The second part consists of essays which analyse the operation of regional or international systems for human rights promotion, and their particular relevance to the treatment of workers' rights as human rights. The final part consists of chapters which explore regulatory alternatives to the traditional use of human rights law. The book concludes by considering the merits of various regulatory approaches.
The publisher has graciously agreed to give readers of Workplace Prof Blog a 20% discount on orders of the book. To receive the discount, type 'HRW' in the special instructions field when ordering online. The discount will not show up on the order confirmation but will be applied when the order is processed.

Grover, Sperino, & Gonzalez on Employment Discrimination
Congratulations to Susan Grover (William & Mary), Sandra Sperino (Temple, en route to Cincinnati), and Jarod Gonzalez (Texas Tech) on the impending publication of their casebook Employment Discrimination: A Context and Practice Casebook (Carolina Academic Press, forthcoming December 2010). Here are the publisher's notes:
Students will be better prepared for professional life if they leave law school with an ability to conceptualize legal theory, a sensitivity to the contexts in which legal rules operate and a concrete understanding of the lawyer's role as a professional problem solver. While retaining the methods used in traditional legal education, this text uses numerous exercises designed to engage students beyond the realm of traditional legal reasoning and to develop a core skill set crucial to employment discrimination attorneys.

The S&P 500 had a very strong showing on Wednesday as the market bounced off of the 1420 level. This area will have been support a couple times now, and as such this would have been no surprise to most technicians. The fact that we closed towards the very top of the range also speaks well of the markets momentum, and as such we are buying short-term dips in this market via the futures pits.
We think that the 1450 level is a relatively conservative target as this would simply state that the market was still in consolidation. We do believe that the top will eventually give way to the buyers, and as such we expect higher prices. As for selling, we wouldn't do it unless we managed to fall below the 1400 level.

Paolo Nutini brings Rockness 2011 to a close with an uplifting set.
Kicking off with 'Jenny Don't Be Hasty' and delivering a well received set which included 'Candy', 'New Shoes' and '10/10′, Nutini was in a typically buoyant mood.
As usual, his thick Paisley brogue rendered him pretty much incomprehensible to us, unlike the crowd who rapturously received every word.
"I came especially to try and see Paolo in his wee daps" said Jill Williams from Chorlton, "I love him."
The encore included a cover of MGMTs 'Time to Pretend'.
As Nutini closes the main stage of the final night of Rockness, the fun continues elsewhere onsite with sets from both Derrick Carter and Jamie XX.

NEW ORLEANS -- A little embarrassment provided a lot of motivation for Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints.
One week after a humbling loss at previously winless St. Louis, New Orleans maintained its hold on the NFC South lead with a balanced attack and hard-hitting defense in a 27-16 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.
"Obviously, a disappointing loss last week -- we wanted to right a lot of the wrongs from that game," Brees said.
"But really, you don't need to say much more than, hey, divisional opponent, at home, a critical point in the season, a team that we just played a few weeks ago and lost to. ... A lot of reasons why we needed to win this game today."
Brees passed for 258 yards and two touchdowns, and New Orleans (6-3) gained 195 yards on the ground after amassing only 56 yards rushing in its previous game.

|NFL coverage on the go
Several Saints players applauded coach Sean Payton's decision to distribute baseball bats as motivational props leading up to the game, a now recurring ritual Payton reserves for times when he wants to challenge his team to play with a stronger physical presence.
"It felt like a playoff game going out in pregame warmups," linebacker Scott Shanle said. "There was just a stone-cold look in everybody's eyes that we weren't messing around. We were going to take care of business today."
Despite playing without linebacker Jonathan Vilma, sidelined by a sore left knee, and losing starting cornerback Tracy Porter to a neck injury early in the game, New Orleans held Tampa Bay (4-4) without a touchdown until Josh Freeman hit Kellen Winslow with 5:33 left.
The defense set a tone early by dropping LeGarrette Blount for a loss on fourth-and-short, gang tackling the running back while safety Roman Harper stripped the ball. The play maintained a scoreless tie and the Saints took the lead for good soon after.
Brees' scoring passes went for 3 yards to Lance Moore and 21 yards to Darren Sproles. Pierre Thomas added a tackle-breaking, 9-yard touchdown.
The Bucs struggled to contain Sproles, who finished with 57 yards receiving on five catches and 42 yards rushing on four carries. Chris Ivory added 67 yards rushing and Thomas 66.
Freeman had 281 yards passing, but was routinely pressured and plagued by untimely overthrows.
The Bucs hoped to get a boost from Blount's return after he had missed two games with a left knee sprain. He gained 72 yards on 13 carries, but also was called for a drive-stalling personal foul when he swatted his open hand across defensive end Will Smith's face mask. The Bucs settled for a field goal on that drive.
|CBSSports.com Grades
|Tampa Bay Buccaneers
|Josh Freeman seems like he's regressing. He missed open receivers that would have ended up for huge gains and doesn't appear to be as comfortable as he was last season. The defense didn't do the Bucs any favors either as it was gashed by the Saints' potent running game and a solid passing game.
|New Orleans Saints
|The Saints got back to what wins them games: balanced offense and a bend-but-don't-break defense. The run game returned as the Saints are now 6-0 when they rush for 100 or more yards and Drew Brees was efficient in the passing game. The defense never really allowed the Bucs to gain any momentum as the Saints bounced back after last week's embarrassment.
|By Larry Holder
RapidReports Correspondent
Tampa Bay was penalized nine times for 80 yards, a statistic that irked coach Raheem Morris.
"Those things we cannot allow to happen," Morris said. "It's not good enough to come to the sideline and apologize to your teammates, coaches or whoever. It's just selfish, undisciplined football."
Brees' first scoring strike to Moore in the first quarter gave him TD passes in 36 straight games, tying Brett Favre for the second-longest streak in NFL history. Brees will need to keep that streak going into next season to tie Johnny Unitas, who had scoring passes in 47 straight games.
Connecting on 27 of 36 throws, Brees also extended his NFL record of consecutive games with 20-plus completions to 29.
Bolstered by the return of starting right tackle Zach Strief, the Saints' offensive line did not allow a sack on Brees, who was hauled down six times the week before.
"We just wanted Drew to be clean," guard Carl Nicks said. "There shouldn't be any turf marks, scratches on his helmet or anything."
New Orleans led 24-6 after Thomas' touchdown in the third quarter.
Tampa Bay then converted two fourth downs during a 15-play, 73-yard drive that took 7:03 off the clock, but had to settle for Connor Barth's third field goal of the game to make it 24-9 after Freeman threw a pair of incompletions from inside the Saints 10.
Winslow's 5-yard touchdown catch later pulled the Bucs to 24-16. Brees then responded by marching the Saints 63 yards in an 11-play drive that ate 4:16 off the clock. He converted a key third-and-4 play with a 20-yard scramble, setting up John Kasay's 34-yard field goal with 1:17 left.
With the victory, New Orleans remained a half-game ahead of Atlanta (5-3) in the NFC South. The Saints visit the Falcons next week.
Tampa Bay dropped into third place with its third loss in four games.
"We played average at times today," said Tampa Bay cornerback Ronde Barber, who watched the Bucs settle for a field goal after his interception on the Saints 33-yard line. "You generally get what you deserve in this game. We don't deserve to be top of the division right now. We aren't playing like it."
- Porter hurt his neck on the second play from scrimmage while breaking up a pass with a hard hit on receiver Mike Williams. Porter lay face down for several seconds and was strapped to a stretcher by trainers and paramedics, but was able to move his extremities and gave a thumbs up before being taken to a hospital as a precaution. "It's good to get in here after the game and find out that he's doing pretty well," Payton said.
- Bucs DT Gerald McCoy left the game with a biceps injury.
