for you sociology nerds: bibliographic edition

Quick! Without using a search function or looking at your bookshelf, how many Arlie Hochschild publications can you name that begin with the word THE? I'll start you off with some easy ones...

The Time Bind
The Second Shift

I'm editing a bibliography and just noticed that all six references to Arlie start with THE and then reveal a new concept, to be forever etched into the minds of sociologists.

No links from this post, as that would give it away.

4 things that people say:

Shoot, now I'm going by memory the next morning and can't recall...

The Nanny Chain (or The Global Care Chain) is another standard.

Ooh, right! I had been thinking only books. Good call. So we're missing one more? I'm so tempted to google....

The Second Shift was directly in front of my on a bookshelf this morning when I read this and I noticed that on the spine "the" was horizontal and very small and "Second Shift" was large and vertical, downplaying "the" dramatically.
