American Management Association. (1996). The AMA style guide for business writing. New

York, NY: American Management Association.

The American Management Association has created its own guide for business writing.

Designed as a supplemental text to more thorough style guides such as APA, this guide

covers topics relating specifically to business, such as citing financials, formatting of

company reports, and professional approaches to information integrity in the workplace.

This is an indispensable work for anyone doing professional business writing.

Ehrenreich, B. (2001). Nickel and dimed: On (not) getting by in America. New York: Henry Holt

and Company.

In this book of nonfiction based on the journalist's experiential research, Ehrenreich

attempts to ascertain whether it is currently possible for an individual to live on a

minimum-wage in America. Taking jobs as a waitress, a maid in a cleaning service, and a

Walmart sales employee, the author summarizes and reflects on her work, her

relationships with fellow workers, and her financial struggles in each situation. The

author is forthcoming about her methods and supplements her experiences with scholarly

research on her places of employment, the economy, and the rising cost of living in

America. Ehrenreich’s project is timely, descriptive, and well-researched.

ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY 2

The authors, researchers at the Rand Corporation and Brown University, use data from

the National Longitudinal Surveys of Young Women and Young Men to test their

hypothesis that nonfamily living by young adults alters their attitudes, values, plans, and

expectations, moving them away from their belief in traditional sex roles. They find their

hypothesis strongly supported in young females, while the effects were fewer in studies

of young males. Increasing the time away from parents before marrying increased

individualism, self-sufficiency, and changes in attitudes about families. In contrast, an

earlier study by Williams cited below shows no significant gender differences in sex role

attitudes as a result of nonfamily living.
