From the rear cover of this two-volume set: "Bach's cantatas comprise a vast quantity of superb music written by one of the greatest of all composers. In this standard work, always enlightening and often entertaining, each cantata is discussed as a whole, and the text and musical settings are in almost every case minutely analysed. General questions are also considered, with a penetration derived from a lifetime's experience (Whittaker conducted every one of the cantatas in public). For those who love Bach's music, this is an indispensable guide and source of information."

We often define ourselves by our work, with a frequent introductory question being, 'What do you do?' Because we devote so much of our lives to our jobs, anything affecting them is of special concern to us. The federal government has assumed a role of protecting the rights of labourers, with the prime example being the Fair Labor Standards Act, which is the primary federal statute in the area of minimum wage, overtime pay, and child labour. Since its adoption in 1938, the act has undergone several amendments and periodic changes. A constant issue is the level of the minimum wage, with many public officials and labour groups calling for its raise. Some though, have made proposals to weaken federal wage protection and exempt certain businesses from the law. Heated debate continues on both sides of this topic, which so closely impacts a significant portion of the population. Federal oversight of labour and work conditions is a fact of life, and the standards by which authorities fulfil this task need to be understood. This book studies the history behind and application of the Fair Labor Standards Act in its three distinct areas of minimum wage, overtime pay, and child labour. information this book holds becomes necessary to developing a clear vision of how the government influences the 'workaday world'.

This book is a summary and a survey, spelling out the considerations that Congress found were a part of the realities of agricultural employment in 20th (and 21st) Century America. It begins in the 1960s with the advent of FLCRA, and proceeds through the enactment of MSPA and to the end of the century. But, it is also a summary of developments in the history of the two statutes, written from the perspective of a labour economist. It may, from time to time, be revised as new developments occur.
