What is the work ethic? Does it justify policies that promote the
wealth and power of the One Percent at workers' expense? Or does it
advance policies that promote workers' dignity and standing?
Hijacked explores how the history of political economy has been a
contest between these two ideas about whom the work ethic is
supposed to serve. Today's neoliberal ideology deploys the work
ethic on behalf of the One Percent. However, workers and their
advocates have long used the work ethic on behalf of ordinary
people. By exposing the ideological roots of contemporary
neoliberalism as a perversion of the seventeenth-century Protestant
work ethic, Elizabeth Anderson shows how we can reclaim the
original goals of the work ethic, and uplift ourselves again.
Hijacked persuasively and powerfully demonstrates how ideas
inspired by the work ethic informed debates among leading political
economists of the past, and how these ideas can help us today.

This book examines the possibilities and realities of promoting
citizenship, peace, and reconciliation through schooling in divided
and post conflict societies. With specific attention to the case of
Northern Ireland and the Local and Global Citizenship (LGC)
initiative, the book investigates the faltering progress to develop
and teach school curricula aimed at promoting citizenship as well
as peace, tolerance, and mutual understanding. Following an
overview of the scholarship on citizenship education, the author
provides a broad social and political historical context within
which to understand the educational reforms and changes that have
taken place in Northern Ireland, highlighting various education
initiatives of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s that sought to foster
understanding of "the other" and promote reconciliation. The book's
focus then shifts to the implementation of LGC, which began in
2007. Despite initially strong political support and a considerable
investment in terms of financial and human resources, LGC has had
limited impact. The book analyzes the obstacles impeding its
success, which include marginalization within the curriculum and
competing conceptions of the purpose of education. A concluding
chapter reflects upon what we can learn from LGC's implementation
and highlights innovative recent initiatives to bring the young
people of Northern Ireland together. This book will appeal to
scholars and students of education studies with interests in
citizenship education, peace studies, educational policy, and
curricula and practice.
La derniere edition des Lettres sur les animaux, ouvrage de
l'encyclopediste mineur Charles-George Le Roy, date de 1896. Cette
nouvelle edition propose une presentation tres respecteuse de la
pensee originale de l'auteur, elle precise dans quelles
circonstances les divers elements du livre furent successivement
publies et retrace son evolution depuis les articles HOMME (Morale)
et INSTINCT de l'Encyclopedie jusqu'a l'edition complete de 1802.
L'introduction situe les Lettresdans l'oeuvre de Le Roy qui,
comptant l'ecriture parmi ses activites, fut d'autant plus mele aux
conflits d'idees de l'epoque. Des documents inedits permettent
d'etablir avec exactitude combien Le Roy a su mettre a profit ses
fonctions de lieutenant des chasses des Parcs de Versailles pour
exercer ses talents d'auteur. A la lumiere de divers autres
documents, et parmi eux des inedits, il apparait que Le Roy
frequentait quelques-uns des penseurs les plus connus de l'epoque
(Condillac, Buffon, Diderot, Helvetius, d'Holbach), ainsi que des
personnalites de la haute societe (en particulier Mme de Marchais),
deux mondes don't l'influence est perceptible dans les Lettres sur
les animaux. Celles-ci font echo non seulement aux ecrivains que
leur auteur connaissit personnellement, mais aussi aux nombreux
autres qu'il avait lus, notamment Montesquieu, Voltaire, Rousseau.
Inspire et nourri de ces contacts scientifiques, litteraires et
philosophiques, Le Roy a su s'en degager pour developper sa propre
pensee et, a l'image de l'excellent accueil que les contemporains
et la posterite ont reserve a l'ouvrage, ses idees ne peuvent
qu'eveiller un vif interet.
Why our workplaces are authoritarian private governments-and why we
can't see it One in four American workers says their workplace is a
"dictatorship." Yet that number almost certainly would be higher if
we recognized employers for what they are-private governments with
sweeping authoritarian power over our lives. Many employers
minutely regulate workers' speech, clothing, and manners on the
job, and employers often extend their authority to the off-duty
lives of workers, who can be fired for their political speech,
recreational activities, diet, and almost anything else employers
care to govern. In this compelling book, Elizabeth Anderson
examines why, despite all this, we continue to talk as if free
markets make workers free, and she proposes a better way to think
about the workplace, opening up space for discovering how workers
can enjoy real freedom.

For Virginia Woolf, H.D., Mary Butts and Gwendolyn Brooks, things
mobilise creativity, traverse domestic, public and rural spaces and
stage the interaction between the sublime and the mundane. Ordinary
things are rendered extraordinary by their spiritual or emotional
significance, and yet their very ordinariness remains part of their
value. This book addresses the intersection of spirituality, things
and places - both natural and built environments - in the work of
these four women modernists. From the living pebbles in Mary
Butts's memoir to the pencil sought in Woolf's urban pilgrimage in
'Street Haunting', the Christmas decorations crafted by children in
H.D.'s autobiographical novel The Gift and Maud Martha's love of
dandelions in Brooks's only novel, things indicate spiritual
concerns in these writers' work. Elizabeth Anderson contributes to
current debates around materiality, vitalism and post-secularism,
attending to both mainstream and heterodox spiritual expressions
and connections between the two in modernism. How we value our
spaces and our world being one of the most pressing contemporary
ethical and ecological concerns, this volume contributes to the
debate by arguing that a change in our attitude towards the
environment will not come from a theory of renunciation but through
attachment to and regard for material things.
Prepare your students for professional nursing practice in the
community. Packed with real-life examples and the latest
information in the field, this award-winning book helps students
develop the knowledge and skills needed to develop true
partnerships with communities. Using their renowned Community As
Partner Model to illustrate how the community, environment, health,
and nursing intertwine, the authors take students through the
entire nursing process with a real-life community as an example.
Retaining the features that have made the book a classic around the
world, this edition offers a foundational overview of the concepts
of epidemiology, environment, culture, ethics, empowerment, health
policy, informatics, bioterrorism, and emerging infectious diseases
as they relate to community health, while enhancing coverage of
timely topics, such as Participatory Research and the latest on the
Affordable Care Act. Highlights of the 8th Edition A focus on the
practical skills outlined by ACHNE as essential for generalist
nurses prepares students to do a community assessment, analyze
data, form a community nursing diagnosis, and plan, implement, and
evaluate a community health program. The book's Community As
Partner Model inspires students to contribute to the reduction of
global health challenges and to promote health for all, including
marginalized populations and school communities, rural communities,
and faith communities. Built-in learning tools, include Learning
Objectives , Take Note boxes that highlight key concepts as
students go through the steps of the nursing process for a
community, chapter-ending Critical Thinking Questions that enable
students to review and apply chapter content, and Further Readings
that offer additional references. Enhanced Instructor's Resources

application level and higher.
More than forty years have passed since Congress, in response to
the Civil Rights Movement, enacted sweeping antidiscrimination laws
in the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and
the Fair Housing Act of 1968. As a signal achievement of that
legacy, in 2008, Americans elected their first African American
president. Some would argue that we have finally arrived at a
postracial America, but "The Imperative of Integration" indicates
otherwise. Elizabeth Anderson demonstrates that, despite progress
toward racial equality, African Americans remain disadvantaged on
virtually all measures of well-being. Segregation remains a key
cause of these problems, and Anderson skillfully shows why racial
integration is needed to address these issues. Weaving together
extensive social science findings--in economics, sociology, and
psychology--with political theory, this book provides a compelling
argument for reviving the ideal of racial integration to overcome
injustice and inequality, and to build a better democracy.
Considering the effects of segregation and integration across
multiple social arenas, Anderson exposes the deficiencies of racial
views on both the right and the left. She reveals the limitations
of conservative explanations for black disadvantage in terms of
cultural pathology within the black community and explains why
color blindness is morally misguided. Multicultural celebrations of
group differences are also not enough to solve our racial problems.
Anderson provides a distinctive rationale for affirmative action as
a tool for promoting integration, and explores how integration can
be practiced beyond affirmative action.
Offering an expansive model for practicing political philosophy
in close collaboration with the social sciences, this book is a
trenchant examination of how racial integration can lead to a more
robust and responsive democracy.
Why our workplaces are authoritarian private governments--and why
we can't see it One in four American workers says their workplace
is a "dictatorship." Yet that number probably would be even higher
if we recognized most employers for what they are--private
governments with sweeping authoritarian power over our lives, on
duty and off. We normally think of government as something only the
state does, yet many of us are governed far more--and far more
obtrusively--by the private government of the workplace. In this
provocative and compelling book, Elizabeth Anderson argues that the
failure to see this stems from long-standing confusions. These
confusions explain why, despite all evidence to the contrary, we
still talk as if free markets make workers free--and why so many
employers advocate less government even while they act as dictators
in their businesses. In many workplaces, employers minutely
regulate workers' speech, clothing, and manners, leaving them with
little privacy and few other rights. And employers often extend
their authority to workers' off-duty lives. Workers can be fired
for their political speech, recreational activities, diet, and
almost anything else employers care to govern. Yet we continue to
talk as if early advocates of market society--from John Locke and
Adam Smith to Thomas Paine and Abraham Lincoln--were right when
they argued that it would free workers from oppressive authorities.
That dream was shattered by the Industrial Revolution, but the myth
endures. Private Government offers a better way to talk about the
workplace, opening up space for discovering how workers can enjoy
real freedom. Based on the prestigious Tanner Lectures delivered at
Princeton University's Center for Human Values, Private Government
is edited and introduced by Stephen Macedo and includes commentary
by cultural critic David Bromwich, economist Tyler Cowen, historian
Ann Hughes, and philosopher Niko Kolodny.
The authors, specialists in the UK, draw on developmental theory to
propose a model of practice specifically for dementia care. The
number of people who suffer from dementia is increasing and in
consequence the problems it presents are affecting a growing number
of therapists and carers. Many of these problems are peculiar to
dementia and the models of care used with other client groups have
proved inadequate when dealing with the provision of quality of
care to people who have dementia. This revised edition contains a
new opening chapter which brings our understanding of dementia
up-to-date. The book looks at the relationship between occupation,
wellbeing and dementia and examines the critical role of the carer
in developing therapeutic interventions.
A groundbreaking account of how the welfare state began with early
nineteenth-century child labor laws, and how middle-class and elite
reformers made it happen The beginnings of the modern welfare state
are often traced to the late nineteenth-century labor movement and
to policymakers' efforts to appeal to working-class voters. But in
Agents of Reform, Elisabeth Anderson shows that the regulatory
welfare state began a half century earlier, in the 1830s, with the
passage of the first child labor laws. Agents of Reform tells the
story of how middle-class and elite reformers in Europe and the
United States defined child labor as a threat to social order, and
took the lead in bringing regulatory welfare into being. They built
alliances to maneuver around powerful political blocks and
instituted pathbreaking new employment protections. Later in the
century, now with the help of organized labor, they created factory
inspectorates to strengthen and routinize the state's capacity to
intervene in industrial working conditions. Agents of Reform
compares seven in-depth case studies of key policy episodes in
Germany, France, Belgium, Massachusetts, and Illinois.
Foregrounding the agency of individual reformers, it challenges
existing explanations of welfare state development and advances a
new pragmatist field theory of institutional change. In doing so,
it moves beyond standard narratives of interests and institutions
toward an integrated understanding of how these interact with
political actors' ideas and coalition-building strategies.
Concentrating on female modernists specifically, this volume
examines spiritual issues and their connections to gender during
the modernist period. Scholarly inquiry surrounding women writers
and their relation to what Wassily Kandinsky famously hoped would
be an 'Epoch of the Great Spiritual' has generated myriad contexts
for closer analysis including: feminist theology, literary and
religious history, psychoanalysis, queer and trauma theory. This
book considers canonical authors such as Virginia Woolf while also
attending to critically overlooked or poorly understood figures
such as H.D., Mary Butts, Rose Macaulay, Evelyn Underhill,
Christopher St. John and Dion Fortune. With wide-ranging topics
such as the formally innovative poetry of Stevie Smith and Hope
Mirrlees to Evelyn Underhill's mystical treatises and
correspondence, this collection of essays aims to grant voices to
the mostly forgotten female voices of the modernist period, showing
how spirituality played a vital role in their lives and writing.
