Perestroika's fate was determined by the hostile reaction of the
working class. Strikes, protest and the fear of working class
action had a devastating impact, yet relatively little is known
about the workers' movement during this period. This book surveys
the development of the new workers' movement in Russia under
perestroika to understand how it connected with the workers at shop
floor level and the national and local political authorities to
whom it addressed its demands, and whose development it sought to
influence. Drawing on a programme of collaborative research on
Russian industrial relations from 1987 to 1992, the authors use a
series of case studies to explain the gulf between the thousands of
tiny independent groups, often based in a single enterprise or even
a single shop and regional and national organizations without a
grassroots base. Extensive interviews with participants, tape and
video recordings as well as substantial documentary material are
used in case studies of the 1989 miners' strike in Kuzbass, the
Kuzbass Regional Council of Workers' committees, the Independent
Miner's Union in Kuzbass, Sotsprof in Moscow and the Federation of
Air Traffic Controllers' Unions.

Viewing children as 'experts in their own lives', the Mosaic
approach offers a creative framework for understanding young
children's perspectives through talking, walking, making and
reviewing material with an adult. This book demonstrates how
children's views and experiences can stay in focus in early
childhood provision. The multi-method approach brings together
digital tools with interviewing and observation to enable adults to
review current practice and implement change with children.
Combining the authors' successful books Listening to Young Children
and Spaces to Play into an expanded and fully updated third
edition, this book builds on the authors' original ground-breaking
work by commenting on the development and adaptation of the Mosaic
approach, along with case studies of the Mosaic approach in action
in four countries: England, Denmark, Norway and Australia.
Alongside guidance on using and adapting the framework with young
children, older children and adults, there is new material on the
ethical and methodological issues involved.

This comprehensive volume focuses on the world's religions and the
changes they have undergone as they become more global and diverse
in form. It explores the religions of the world not only in the
regions with which they have been historically associated, but also
looks at the new cultural and religious contexts in which they are
developing. It considers the role of migration in the spread of
religions by examining the issues raised for modern societies by
the increasing interaction of different religions. The volume also
addresses such central questions as the dynamics of religious
innovation which is evidenced in the rise and impact of new
religious and new spirituality movements in every continent.
One of television's most critically acclaimed programmes, The Wire addresses the seedy side of Baltimore’s finest, looking into money, drugs, politics and murder.
Told from the point of view of both the police and their targets, the series captures a universe of subterfuge and surveillance, where easy distinctions between good and evil, and crime and punishment, are challenged at every turn.
A study on urban life in one of America’s toughest cities, each season of The Wire has focused on a different aspect of Baltimore, starting with the police force and the drug trade, then moving on to City Hall, the education system and concluding with the media.

Drawing inspiration from his own research interests and writing,
which illuminated military, political and social interactions of
the period, they focus on three main themes. The contrasting styles
of governance adopted by English monarchs from Richard II to Henry
VII; the differing responses to civil conflict revealed in a
variety of localities; and the lives of men recruited to fight
overseas during the Hundred Years' War, and beyond the border with
Scotland in later years, are all explored here. These topics take
us across England from the far north to the Channel, to London, the
south-west and the Welsh lordship of Gower, while on the way also
examining how townsmen resisted taxation, the gentry administered
their estates and the western marches were ruled.

Groundwater is an increasingly important resource to human populations around the world, and the study and protection of groundwater is an essential part of hydrogeology - the subset of hydrology that concentrates on the subsurface. Environmental isotopes, naturally occurring nuclides in water and solutes, have become fundamental tools for tracing the recharge, history, and contamination of groundwater.

and democratic governance; representation and institutions;
approaches and methodology; and the future of urban politics. Given
the caliber of the editors and proposed contributors, the volume
sets the intellectual agenda for years to come.
he debate on 'The Dynamics of Wage Relations in the New Europe' is
an T offspring of a research project on 'Disparities in Wage
Relations and the Reproduction of Skills in Europe'. At a meeting
of the advisory committee for this research held at the University
of Westminster in London on 14th November 1994, it was decided (by
Linda Clarke, ]orn]anssen, Henryk Lewandowski, Philippe Mehaut,
Patrick Rozenblatt and Frank Wilkinson) to set up a larger
international committee to develop a programme and seek funding
from the European Commission for a symposium of experts on wage
relations. This committee of ten scientific experts was formed and
invited to a number of meetings throughout 1995 and 1996 by DG V of
the European Commission in order to develop a programme and
proposal for a symposium to take place in 1997. Eventually the
proposal, formally submitted by University of Westminster/London,
University ofMaastrichti Netherlands, Fachhochschule
Dortmund/Germany and University of Osnabriick/ Germany was accepted
by the European Commission in May 1996. Additional funding was then
obtained from the Hans-Bockler-Stiftung and the Dutch Organisation
for Scientific Research allowing, in particular, participants from
Central and East European countries to be invited. The subject of
wage relations, as a central issue of European social policy, was
intended to be tackled in an open debate between scientists and
policy makers, the latter as individual experts rather than
representatives.
