Jeremy Rifkin is President of the Foundation on Economic Trends in Washington, DC, and author of the noted best seller The End of Work (P. G. Putnam). He is a noted economic and social critic and lectures on the changing nature of work. He offers applied anthropologists this commentary on the prospect for a "civil society" in the information age—a society in which the nature and meaning of work have been redefined and which will require fundamental changes in the way the next generation is educated. His commentary offers much to ponder for applied anthropologists interested in technology, education, and cultural change in the approaching millennium.

The Way

The Second National Symposium on Human Factors in Consumer Products (Tufts University, May, 1980) included a paper by Colin Drury and Michael Brill concerning a technique of hazard analysis which they referred to as the “Scenario.” The present study reports an application of this technique to the number one furniture hazard in residential interiors: The Table. Prior to this investigation, the table seems to have received little in the way of systematic study. Additionally, an analysis of the Scenario technique itself was performed. This examination showed that several alternative methods developed by the authors yielded richer, more varied, and perhaps, accurate information. This analysis calls into question the advisability of relying on the Scenario technique as the sole method of hazard analysis. The methodology for these alternative analytical forms is presented.

This paper is an attempt to study the representation of socio-cultural life in Kamala Markandaya’s Bombay Tiger. Being a leading post-independent Indian novelist, Kamala Markandaya has candidly portrayed Indian social, cultural and political life through her novels. She has rightly reflected these aspects in the work Bombay Tiger. Her description of various aspects and dimensions of cultural life is not imaginary and based on some literature, but it is based on carefully observed traditions and depicted cultural values and ideas. Soon after the death of Kamala Markandaya her daughter Kim Oliver found a typewritten copy of her novel and it was published posthumously with the title ‘Bombay Tiger’ in 2008. Charles R. Larson, one of the close friends of Markandaya and Professor of Literature, American University, Washington, DC has written an introduction to novel Bombay Tiger (2008) where he writes: Reading Bombay Tiger twenty years after Kamala Markandaya began writing the novel is a kind of revelation – especially for what it says about contemporary India” (Larson xii). Although Markandaya lived in abroad she kept in touch with the India. She actively read English newspapers which provided excellent coverage of occurrences in the commonwealth in general and India in particular. It has been rightly said that Kamala Markandaya’s “Sense of India was always extraordinarily vivid, filled with rich vitality, and imaginative in the way of all great writers (and especially novelists) who have been connected to place (Larson xii).
