With an estimated 20% of working women leaving their job or taking a lesser role because they are struggling to deal with menopause symptoms, there has never been a more urgent need for better education about this all too often taboo subject. Women feel confused and frustrated with the lack of support from health practitioners and often feel embarrassed or scared to raise the subject at work for fear of ridicule or judgement. And yet, women over 50 are the fastest growing sector of the UK workforce, with more than 80% of the 4.4 million working women currently dealing with menopause. This book provides a no-nonsense guide to help women not only get clear on what menopause is but also what they can do about it.

Die zehn Studien des Buches uber den Philosophen und Padagogen Eduard Spranger (1882-1963) vermitteln das politische Portrat eines konservativen Intellektuellen. Spranger beteiligte sich in der ersten Halfte des 20. Jahrhunderts, in wechselnden Herrschaftsverhaltnissen, intensiv an der ideologischen Auseinandersetzung um die nationale und kulturelle Identitat. In der Einheit des Deutschseins - unter Ausschluss alles Nichtdeutschen, besonders des Judischen - wollte Spranger die Gegensatze in der deutschen Gesellschaft und die wachsende Komplexitat des modernen Lebens imaginar aufheben. Das Ideal der "Deutschheit" sollte Individualitat und Staatlichkeit versoehnen. Spranger fasste diese Vorstellung in die Formel: Durchseelung des Staates und Durchstaatlichung der Seele.

Lorenzo Costaguta
R2,461 Discovery Miles 24 610 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

As the United States transformed into an industrial superpower, American socialists faced the vexing question of how to approach race. Lorenzo Costaguta balances intellectual and institutional history to illuminate the clash between two major points of view. On one side, white supremacists believed labor should accept and apply the ascendant tenets of scientific theories of race. But others stood with International Workingmen’s Association leaders J. P. McDonnell and F. A. Sorge in rejecting the idea that racial and ethnic division influenced worker-employer relations, arguing instead that class played the preeminent role. Costaguta charts the socialist movement’s journey through the conflict and down a path that ultimately abandoned scientific racism in favor of an internationalist class-focused and racial-conscious American socialism. As he shows, the shift relied on a strong immigrant influence personified by the cosmopolitan Marxist thinker and future IWW cofounder Daniel De Leon. The class-focused movement that emerged became American socialism’s most common approach to race in the twentieth century and beyond.

Das Interesse fur das Problem "Werksgemeinschaft" ist standig im Wachsen. Aus allen Erorterungen ist aber erkennbar, dass sowohl uber die Entstehung der Werksgemeinschafts bewegung als auch uber den Begriff Werksgemeinschaft noch grosste Unklarheit herrscht. Der Verfasser des ersten Teils der vorliegeRden Schrift hat sich die Aufgabe gestellt, die historische Entwicklung des Werksgemeinschaftsgedankens zu zeigen und gleichzeitig aus dem Schrifttum uber die Werksgemeinschaft das, was Wesentliches uber Idee, Wesen und Organisation gesagt wird, zusammenzufassen und soweit erforderlich kritisch zu beleuchten. Dem Verfasser des zweiten Teiles dagegen kommt es darauf an, die Idee der Werksgemeinschaft auf ihren soziologisch-syste matischen Gehalt zu untersuchen und ihre Fundamentierung und Gestaltung dem sozialwissenschaftlichen Denken der Gegen- wart naherzubringen. Es handelt sich in dieser Doppelschrift nicht um eine wirt schaftspolitische Programmschrift. In aller Sachlichkeit und auf wissenschaftlicher Grundlage soll das Wesen und Werden der "Werksgemeinschaft" gezeigt werden, wie es sich uns gegenwartig darstellt und weitere Ent-wicklungsmoglichkeiten bietet.

Steven C. Beda
R2,476 Discovery Miles 24 760 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Often cast as villains in the Northwest's environmental battles, timber workers in fact have a connection to the forest that goes far beyond jobs and economic issues. Steven C. Beda explores the complex true story of how and why timber-working communities have concerned themselves with the health and future of the woods surrounding them. Life experiences like hunting, fishing, foraging, and hiking imbued timber country with meanings and values that nurtured a deep sense of place in workers, their families, and their communities. This sense of place in turn shaped ideas about protection that sometimes clashed with the views of environmentalists--or the desires of employers. Beda's sympathetic, in-depth look at the human beings whose lives are embedded in the woods helps us understand that timber communities fought not just to protect their livelihood, but because they saw the forest as a vital part of themselves.

Elizabeth McKillen
R726 Discovery Miles 7 260 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

In this intellectually ambitious study, Elizabeth McKillen explores the significance of Wilsonian internationalism for workers and the influence of American labor in both shaping and undermining the foreign policies and war mobilization efforts of Woodrow Wilson's administration. McKillen highlights the major fault lines that emerged within labor circles as Wilson pursued his agenda in the context of Mexican and European revolutions, World War I, and the Versailles Peace Conference. McKillen's spotlight falls on the American Federation of Labor, whose leadership collaborated extensively with Wilson, assisting with propaganda, policy, and diplomacy. At the same time, other labor groups (and even sub-groups within the AFL) vehemently opposed Wilsonian internationalism. As McKillen shows, the choice to collaborate with or resist U.S. foreign policy remained an important one for labor throughout the twentieth century. In fact, it continues to resonate today in debates over the global economy, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the impact of U.S. policies on workers at home and abroad.

Agnieszka Paczynska
R1,208 Discovery Miles 12 080 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In response to mounting debt crises and macroeconomic instability in the 1980s, many countries in the developing world adopted neoliberal policies promoting the unfettered play of market forces and deregulation of the economy and attempted large-scale structural adjustment, including the privatization of public-sector industries. How much influence did various societal groups have on this transition to a market economy, and what explains the variances in interest-group influence across countries?

In this book, Agnieszka Paczyńska explores these questions by studying the role of organized labor in the transition process in four countries in different regions--the Czech Republic and Poland in eastern Europe, Egypt in the Middle East, and Mexico in Latin America. In Egypt and Poland, she shows, labor had substantial influence on the process, whereas in the Czech Republic and Mexico it did not. Her explanation highlights the complex relationship between institutional structures and the "critical junctures" provided by economic crises, revealing that the ability of groups like organized labor to wield influence on reform efforts depends to a great extent on not only their current resources (such as financial autonomy and legal prerogatives) but also the historical legacies of their past ties to the state.

This new edition features an epilogue that analyzes the role of organized labor uprisings in 2011, the protests in Egypt, the overthrow of Mubarak, and the post-Mubarak regime.

Paul A. Shackel
R2,460 Discovery Miles 24 600 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Once a busy if impoverished center for the anthracite coal industry, northeastern Pennsylvania exists today as a region suffering inexorable decline--racked by economic hardship and rampant opioid abuse, abandoned by young people, and steeped in xenophobic fear. Paul A. Shackel merges analysis with oral history to document the devastating effects of a lifetime of structural violence on the people who have stayed behind. Heroic stories of workers facing the dangers of underground mining stand beside accounts of people living their lives in a toxic environment and battling deprivation and starvation by foraging, bartering, and relying on the good will of neighbors. As Shackel reveals the effects of these long-term traumas, he sheds light on people’s poor health and lack of well-being. The result is a valuable on-the-ground perspective that expands our understanding of the social fracturing, economic decay, and anger afflicting many communities across the United States. Insightful and dramatic, The Ruined Anthracite combines archaeology, documentary research, and oral history to render the ongoing human cost of environmental devastation and unchecked capitalism.
