Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Provides a holistic look at the application of leadership theories
in a neurodiverse context and how the workplace can be adapted to
accommodate for neurodiverse employees Explores effective
recruitment strategies by looking into applicant screening as well
as interviewing and selection, adapting internal organizational
resources to a neurodiverse workforce, and legal and regulatory
environment considerations for autism hiring programs Each chapter
provides an overview of existing knowledge on effective workplace
inclusion practices across the employment process, specific
implications of research to date for a more
neurodiversity-inclusive workplace, and what future research is
needed to further inform these practices
In this experimental work of ecocriticism, Vincent Bruyere
confronts the seeming pointlessness of the humanities amid
spectacularly negative future projections of environmental
collapse. The vanitas paintings of the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries dazzlingly depict heaps of riches alongside skulls,
shells, and hourglasses. Sometimes even featuring the illusion that
their canvases are peeling away, vanitas images openly declare
their own pointlessness in relation to the future. This book takes
inspiration from the vanitas tradition to fearlessly contemplate
the stakes of the humanities in the Anthropocene present, when the
accumulated human record could well outlast the climate conditions
for our survival. Staging a series of unsettling encounters with
early modern texts and images whose claims of relevance have long
since expired, Bruyere experiments with the interpretive
affordances of allegory and fairytale, still life and travelogues.
Each chapter places a vanitas motif—canvas, debris, toxics,
paper, ark, meat, and light—in conversation with stories and
images of the Anthropocene, from the Pleistocene Park
geoengineering project to toxic legacies to in-vitro meat.
Considering questions of quiet erasure and environmental memory,
this book argues we ought to keep reading, even by the flickering
light of extinction.

Health organizations in social, medico-social and health sectors
are not immune to the pressures of productivity, efficiency and
quality. The race against time, which is far more problematic today
than 20 years ago, makes care in the workplace much more difficult
to implement, though it is essential. The onset of the Covid-19
pandemic in 2020 only reinforced this stance. Caring Management in
Heath Organizations questions the benevolent nature of management,
understood here to mean taking care, according a central role to
relationships. It takes a political, historical and international
perspective on health management, examining successful
implementations of this practice in health organizations, with all
its difficulties, pitfalls and riches. Other sectors are also
explored. This book takes a critical look at the very foundations
of "caring management". It opens up the debate between researchers
from different backgrounds and professionals in the field.
Wheels of Light explores the seven chakras, or energy centers, of the body with particular focus on the first chakra, which has to do with our basic life force, our physical bodies, and our sexuality. Drawing on scientific research, Native American culture, the ancient traditions of the Egyptians and Greeks, the philosophies of the Hindus, and the religions of the East, Rosalyn L. Bruyere presents a unique perspective on the value and healing potential of the chakra system.
Wicihitowin is the first Canadian social work book written by First
Nations, Inuit and Metis authors who are educators at schools of
social work across Canada. The book begins by presenting
foundational theoretical perspectives that develop an understanding
of the history of colonization and theories of decolonization and
Indigenist social work. It goes on to explore issues and aspects of
social work practice with Indigenous people to assist educators,
researchers, students and practitioners to create effective and
respectful approaches to social work with diverse populations.
Traditional Indigenous knowledge that challenges and transforms the
basis of social work with Indigenous and other peoples comprises a
third section of the book. Wicihitowin concludes with an eye to the
future, which the authors hope will continue to promote the
innovations and creativity presented in this groundbreaking work."
The Svalbard Global Seed Vault project is an arctic archive
designed to preserve the world's agricultural biodiversity. What do
it and other novel forms of storage tell us about our relationship
to the future in a time of resource depletion and extinction
scenarios? In this innovative book, Vincent Bruyere offers an
invitation to look at the present we live in through a fresh lens:
the difference between storage and burial in the age of
sustainability science. Perishability Fatigue considers questions
of permanence and the potentiality of retrieval, noting the
tensions within our collective sense of time and finitude. Bruyere
reflects on the nature and significance of perishability, asking
what it means to have one's sense of temporality engendered by seed
banks and frozen embryo storage, genetically modified organisms and
the "de-extinction" of species, nuclear-waste repositories,
oncology, and palliative care. He draws attention to the scripts
and scenarios that mediate our relations to loss and decay,
preservation and conservation, emphasizing the inequalities
implicit in technologies of perishability, which promise continuity
in the future to some while refusing it to others. A highly
interdisciplinary study, Perishability Fatigue reframes the
environmental humanities and humanistic inquiry into sustainability
science by developing a new language to commemorate fatigue and
transience in a culture of preparedness and survival.
