This book promotes an understanding of ageism, discrimination and
mistreatment of older adult workers, incorporating an international
human rights perspective. The impact of ageism on the mistreatment
of older adult workers has not to date been examined in depth
through the lens of international human rights instruments, nor has
discrimination against older adults in the workplace been framed as
a form of elder abuse for research and policy making purposes. This
book presents a multi-disciplinary exploration of these themes as
they affect work and retirement of older adults. It reflects the
view that older people who choose to work into old age should be
able to do so in enabling work environments that promote dignity
and are free of abuse. The contributing authors come from many
disciplines, including law, psychology, social work, business, and
international affairs. Many are members of the International
Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse (INPEA), a
non-governmental organization with consultative status at the
United Nations, and have devoted their professional careers to
increase awareness and understanding of elder abuse in order to
prevent it. The editors hope that broadening the framework within
which elder abuse in the workplace is understood will stimulate
further research, policy and program development to address this
troubling social problem.

This book presents an international comparison of legal responses
to the issue of vacant housing in Japan, the USA, France and
Germany. While vacant housing is a shared problem in these four
countries, the origin and context of the problem, as well as the
focus of legal responses, differ considerably. Presenting the
outcomes of an international symposium, this book explores
different legal approaches (private/public law,
federal/national/municipal governments,
demolition/expropriation/requisition/planning) taken in the
respective jurisdictions. It is highly recommended to readers whose
work involves practical issues concerning vacant housing and who
are interested in theoretical aspects of property law, building law
and administrative law. The book also includes a chapter exploring
the implications of the "tragedy of the commons/anticommons" for
contemporary land use issues in Japan such as landscape protection,
area management and unclaimed land.
During the first decade of the twentieth century the Roman Catholic
Church was shaken to its core by an intellectual reform movement,
'modernism', seeking radical changes in the traditional approaches
to biblical studies, philosophy and theology. The repercussions of
the church authorities' condemnations and repression of the
so-callled modernist heresy persisted for more than half a century.
Then, liberated by Pope John XXIII, himself suspected of being a
modernist, the Second Vatican Council created the possibility for
many modernist ideas to resurface and initiate a renewal of the
church in the modern world. The present work contains the integral
correspondence of the leader of this modernist movement, Baron
Friedrich von Hugel to Maude D. Petre along with her two extant
letters to him. The correspondence offers a unique glimpse into the
history of the movement and an example of how its leading
protagonist promoted the novel ideas of many of the seminal
thinkers of the time among his friends and colleagues. Sadly, the
letters also depict the often unchristian nature of the
authorities' response and the subsequent suffering inflicted on
some of the church's most critical but faithful and enlightened
members.
In making a comparison of the British intelligence of the Egyptian
expeditionary force in the Palestine campaign, under the command of
Sir Edmund H. H. Allenby gives a staggered group of centers of
collection to the rear. The study conveys a most interesting lesson
to be learned from the success of the British service and teaches
the necessity for cooperation between the intelligence and
operation sections of the staff.
Drafting Organizational Documents teaches clinical law students the
indispensable skill of legal drafting by introducing them to the
nonprofit and for-profit corporate documents they are most likely
to create before graduating. Also appropriate for simulation and
other skills courses, this book takes students through the process
of identifying key issues, formulating provision options and
crafting legal language. With chapters on the foundational
documents for nonprofit corporation, limited liability companies,
Delaware corporations and benefit corporations, this book enables
students to draft documents from scratch in order to critically
analyze and adapt forms.
