&#8220;An eloquent voice from the frontlines of the hard, bitter, exhilarating struggles for freedom and justice that have made the world a better place. And an inspiring guide for carrying the crucial struggle forward.&#8221;&#8212;Noam Chomsky&#10;&#8220;In Fighting Times, Jon Melrod shares his personal experiences &#10;in historical context about his human rights battles against social &#10;injustices. Jon was an early supporter of the Black Panther Party and &#10;the struggle for black liberation. As you will read, he became a target &#10;of the FBI after landing on the Bureau&#8217;s radar when he called the &#10;Chicago office to coordinate sales of The Black Panther community newspaper in Madison, WI. A must-read for all freedom-loving peoples.&#8221;&#8212;Emory Douglas, social justice artist and minister of culture for the Black Panther Party, 1967&#8211;1981&#10;&#8220;Melrod's Fighting Times isn't a memoir that talks about halcyon days when revolution was in the air&#8212;it's a fighting manual for people today who want to change society. The revolutionary doesn't just think the masses into action, but acts alongside them, lifting their fellow worker up and leading by example. If you're a young worker or student who wants to get things moving, Fighting Times shows you what it means to do just that.&#8221;&#8212;Brace Belden, co-host of the True Anon podcast, volunteer with YPG Kurdish Militia in Syria, ILWU Local 6 organizing committee at Anchor Brewing San Francisco&#10;&#8220;To organize communities and workers you have to listen to them. Jon Melrod&#8217;s many stories show he did just that&#8212;and had a blast, too, as they turned their creativity and solidarity against the boss. Yes, there&#8217;s a lot to be learned from Melrod&#8217;s tales, but they&#8217;re also a joy to read.&#8221;&#8212;Ken Paff, co-founder, Teamsters for a Democratic Union&#10;&#8220;Brother Melrod&#8217;s book Fighting Times provides first-hand insight into the valiant struggles waged in the early to mid-eighties in the contentious struggle between rank-and-file auto workers and the four US auto manufacturers. Concession fever, pushed by both the auto companies and their partners in the UAW International union, swept the industry and threatened to decimate decades of hard-fought gains won by the rank-and-file since breaking down the non-union shops in the 1930&#8217;s. For any young activist just entering the labor movement, Fighting Times offers inspiration, guidance, and insight on how to motivate the rank-and-file to identify its own interests and stand up to corporate attacks, and in some cases, union sellouts who do the bidding of the owning class. The book is a must read for all aspiring labor activists.&#8221;&#8212;Peter Kelly, former President UAW Local 160 GM Tech Center, UAW National Bargaining Committee 1985&#10;&#8220;Long before Kenosha, WI became a flashpoint in Black Lives Matter protests in 2020, this blue-collar city was the scene of intense shop floor campaigns against racism and for militant unionism in the auto industry. Jon Melrod&#8217;s account of his workplace organizing and reform caucus building in the 1970s and 80s is full of useful lessons for younger radicals trying to revive organized labor today. Fighting Times illustrates the importance of resisting contract concessions, defending free speech on the shop floor, and democratizing the United Auto Workers, a key rank-and-file struggle to this very day.&#8221;&#8212;Steve Early, labor journalist, and former International Representative, Communications Workers of America. Author of Refinery Town: Big Oil, Big Money, and the Remaking of an American City&#10;&#8220;Jon Melrod&#8217;s Fighting Times tells the story of a &#8217;60s-era student radical who was one of thousands of young revolutionaries who left the campus and headed for mills, mines, factories, and battered neighborhoods. It was a learn-as-you go migration that was as challenging and exciting as it was chaotic and dangerous. Much ink has been devoted to Weatherman&#8217;s stuttering attempts to attack the system. What&#8217;s missing is the organizing these one-time SDS activists did in the coal miners right to strike movement, the postal workers wildcat strikes, and&#8212;in Melrod&#8217;s case&#8212;Kenosha American Motors factory. American youth everywhere were inspired by the freedom fighters of the Black Panthers, Vietnamese NLF, and the Chinese Revolution. It was an exciting time and Jon Melrod&#8217;s extraordinary book puts you there.&#8221;&#8212;Tommy Amano-Tompkins, English professor at LA Harbor College and one-time arts editor at the San Francisco Bay Guardian&#10;&#8220;Fighting Times is an excellent example of a militant rank-and-file caucus taking up the battle for women&#8217;s equality. The Fighting Times caucus At the American Motors&#8217; auto plant in Kenosha, WI took up the battle against discrimination of women on the shop floor, within the union, and in the broader community. When Jon was elected chief steward his election slate consisted of newly energized women activists. Under his leadership, half the steward body were women. I recommend any young person looking to become active in the union movement read this book, which is vital for building today&#8217;s movement in support of women&#8217;s fight for equality and the fight for social justice.&#8221;&#8212;Laura Drake, Allied Industrial Workers local 232 Bargaining Team & Plant Grievance Rep and Senior Organizer Chicago AFSCME Council 31&#10;&#8220;72-year-old Jon Melrod has been an activist all his life&#8212;starting in second grade. His book, Fighting Times is a remarkable document that shows us how one dedicated person became a leader who helped build a movement that improved the lives of industrial workers. Fighting Times is a blueprint for anyone who seeks to bring justice to the workplace.&#8221;&#8212;Stephan Shames, photographer&#10;&#8220;For too long the dominant narrative of sixties radicalism has been one of unrealistic idealism giving way to desperation, capitulation, or despair. Missing are stories of those who became radicalized in that time and went to &#8216;to the working class&#8217; as a means to affect fundamental change. Now Jon Melrod brings us one of those stories, one that is both unique&#8212;his having been a catalyzing force in key struggles&#8212;and far more representative than what we have been led to believe. His is an essential story of someone who emerged from the Sixties maelstrom intent on taking things in further liberatory directions.&#8221;&#8212;Aaron J. Leonard, author of Heavy Radicals: The FBI&#8217;s Secret War Against America&#8217;s Maoists&#10;&#10;&#10;&#10;&#10;&#10;&#10;&#10;&#10;&#10;&#10;&#10;&#10;&#10;&#10;&#10;&#10;&#10;&#10;&#8220;Jon Melrod&#8217;s Fighting Times: Organizing on the Front Lines of the Class War blends the riveting personal history of a dedicated class war veteran with important lessons in building multiracial, multigender working-class solidarity on the shop floor, in the streets, and especially when confronting the boss. As a lifelong activist and unapologetic revolutionary, Melrod&#8217;s efforts to democratize the UAW during the &#8217;70s and &#8217;80s foreshadowed today&#8217;s battles for union democracy, and his story offers a handy blueprint for the next generation of fired-up workers, labor organizers, and hellraisers.&#8221;&#10;&#8212;Kim Kelly, labor journalist and author of Fight Like Hell: The Untold History of American Labor&#10;

From the reviews:“Handling terminology in designing and building an ontology is not only a support activity within a larger activity, but it can also create an ontology in its own right. This slim, but thorough, volume addresses this problem. … includes several important developments from Europe that will be valuable and useful to a non-European readership. … it covers a lot of material. It is dense, but well organized. Anyone working on ontology engineering can benefit by studying this book … .” (Anthony J. Duben, ACM Computing Reviews, May, 2011)

From the reviews:

"The book under review provides a thorough analysis of decomposable sets, the fixed point theory of maps on such sets, and applications of this theory. … provides a comprehensive examination of the theory, starting with the background and preliminaries, going through the essence of the arguments of decomposability, and presenting a variety of applications. … All in all the text is very useful to active researchers … and to the general community including advanced students … ."
