Almost every person works at some point in their lives. The
Research Handbook on Work and Well-Being examines the association
of particular work experiences with employee and organizational
health and performance. Ronald J. Burke and Kathryn M. Page bring
together an impressive collection of contributions where well-being
is considered an umbrella term for happiness, satisfaction, flow,
engagement, commitment and organizational identification, among
other concepts. Chapters describe successful organizational efforts
to achieve high levels of employee well-being and creating
psychologically healthy workplaces. They cover topics such as
transformational leadership, organizational support, training and
development and supportive work-family policies and programs.
Acknowledging that work experiences and conditions can also
contribute to dissatisfaction, insecurity, illness, injuries and
even death, they also examine negative work experiences and
conditions such as abusive supervision, occupational stress, little
control and insecurity. Practical and engaging, this Handbook will
appeal to academics and students interested in work and health.
Containing the latest research evidence, it will also offer
valuable insights to human resource managers, organizational
wellness managers and occupational health practitioners.

Hailed as groundbreaking upon its original release, the
Oscar-winning film Boys Don't Cry offered the first mainstream
access to transmasculine embodiment in North America, one that many
simultaneously celebrated and rejected. More than two decades after
its original release, the film has become a lightning rod for
contemporary debates about the representation of trans lives and
deaths on screen. Representational possibilities for trans people
have changed dramatically since 1999. Morgan Page and Chase Joynt
approach the accumulated tension with a spirit of curiosity about
the limits of these historical returns. They argue that new
visibilities of transness on screen require us to re-engage earlier
portrayals: Boys Don't Cry is central to conversations about
casting, violence against gender non-conforming people, and the
borders between butch and trans identities. Acknowledging a younger
generation of queer and trans people who are straining against the
images foisted upon them, including this film's egregious violence,
and an older cohort for whom it remains a formative, if
complicated, touchstone, Joynt and Page revisit the original
contexts of production and distribution to unsettle the
overdetermined ways the work has been understood and interpreted.
Boys Don't Cry ultimately relocates the film in a way that attends
to the story's violence and values, both on and off screen.

Although references to stigma were commonplace in the field of
social policy and elsewhere, the concept was often used in a rather
imprecise way. Originally published in 1984, this book assesses the
relevance of the concept of stigma for the study of social policy.
Investigations of the concept within the welfare field have tended
to be far too narrow in focus (i.e. the concept has been regarded
as a technical problem which can be eradicated by greater adherence
to the principle of universalism). As a counter to this
perspective, Robert Page argues that it is necessary to distinguish
much more clearly between various aspects of the concept of stigma
(e.g. stigmas, stigmatization and felt stigma). He examines the
reasons why, and the ways in which, one particular 'welfare' group
- unmarried mothers - have been stigmatized over the centuries in
order to highlight the importance of examining existing patterns of
'welfare' and other forms of stigmatization within their political,
economic, social and historical context. It is concluded that
stigma will continue to be a key concept for both students and
practitioners within the field of social policy provided that it is
examined from this wider perspective.

The histories of the trans and sex worker rights movements are
closely intertwined and, particularly in the UK, it's rare to find
a carceral feminist who isn't also a rabid transphobe. What does it
mean to write as part of a community that is under attack? Where,
in fiction, is the line between exploring harmful ideology and
humanising it? In Morbid Obsessions Alison Rumfitt and Frankie
Miren explore these questions and talk about the crossover in the
ways they chose to approach them in their novels Tell Me I'm
Worthless (Cipher Press) and The Service (Influx Press), covering
the pornographic interest in sex workers and trans women, online
violence, moral panic, creative representation, and paying tribute
to sex worker and trans activism through fiction. Frank, funny, and
hopeful, and featuring two new stories, an introduction by writer
and historian Morgan M. Page, and an interview with Natalia Santana
Mendes, Morbid Obsessions is an urgent and vital conversation about
making art as collective struggle. All proceeds (after production
costs) from the sale of this book will be donated to Babeworld, a
collective which seeks to create a more representative art world,
and will go into direct grants to marginalised artists.
Originally published in 1934 as part of the Cambridge Studies in
Economic History series, this book describes nearly three hundred
years of manorial administration at Crowland Abbey. Crowland's
court- and account-rolls, now held at Queens' College, Cambridge,
are the fullest record for the Cambridgeshire manors of Oakington,
Dry Drayton and Cottenham, and contain an economic account of the
political and legal arrangements in place in the fens during a
period which included the Black Death. This book will be of value
to anyone with an interest in social and economic history or the
history of East Anglia.
Happiness in one aspect of our life can positively impact our
satisfaction within other domains of our life. The opposite also
rings true. Today's generation of working people have often been
called the generation who want it all. But can we really have it
all? And at what cost to our and others' happiness? Flourishing in
Life, Work and Careers explores ways in which contemporary working
people can thrive in a complex, volatile and uncertain world.
Combining both research and practice, the contributors of this book
cover all bases from individual wellbeing, family and work, to
career experiences and leadership. They conclude by providing the
reader with tools to combine what they have learnt and apply it to
their lives. Researchers and PhD students interested in positive
psychology and related disciplines will find this to be an
intriguing book. Human resource managers and human resource
development consultants will also find the tools in this book
useful for their work. Contributors: S.L. Albrecht, P.W.B. Atkins,

Has the modern Conservative Party developed a distinctive approach
to the post-war welfare state? In exploring this question, this
accessible book takes an authoritative look at Conservative Party
policy and practice in the modern era. The book's time-defined
content and broad historical thread make it a valuable resource for
academics and students in social policy and politics as well as
social history.
A comprehensive analysis of the role that prison policy can play in
the reduction of terrorism, this book examines the experience of
three western Europe jurisdictions: Northern Ireland, Italy and the
Spanish Basque Country. It looks at the role of the prisons both as
tools for counter-insurgency and as part of a process of conflict
resolution. It looks in detail at each jurisdiction and then
compares the experience of the three conflicts.
There are nearly 1,000 species of freshwater fishes in North
America alone, and identifying them can sometimes be a daunting
task. In fact, in just the twenty years since publication of the
first edition of the "Peterson Field Guide to Freshwater Fishes,"
the number of species has risen by almost 150, including 19 marine
invaders and 16 newly established nonnative species. This second
edition incorporates all of these new species, plus all-new maps
and a collection of new and revised plates. Some of the species can
be told apart only by minute differences in coloration or shape,
and these beautifully illustrated plates reveal exactly how to
distinguish each species.
The guide includes detailed maps and information showing where to
locate each species of fish--whether that species can be found in
miles-long stretches of river or small pools that cover only dozens
of square feet. The ichthyologic world of the twenty-first century
is not the same as it was in the twentieth, and this brand-new
edition of the definitive field guide to freshwater fishes reflects
these many changes.
