Sent to a remote village for the duration of the war, two children
devise physical and mental exercises to render themselves
invulnerable to pain and sentiment. The Notebook distils the
experience of Nazi occupation and Soviet 'liberation' during World
War II into a stark fable of timeless relevance. In The Proof and
The Third Lie perspectives shift and identity becomes unstable as
Claus and Lucas, isolated in different countries, yearn for the
restoration of their lost connection. The novels are an exploration
of both the after-effects of trauma and the nature of
story-telling.
This book explores a wide range of topics in digital ethics. It
features 11 chapters that analyze the opportunities and the ethical
challenges posed by digital innovation, delineate new approaches to
solve them, and offer concrete guidance to harness the potential
for good of digital technologies. The contributors are all members
of the Digital Ethics Lab (the DELab), a research environment that
draws on a wide range of academic traditions. The chapters
highlight the inherently multidisciplinary nature of the subject,
which cannot be separated from the epistemological foundations of
the technologies themselves or the political implications of the
requisite reforms. Coverage illustrates the importance of expert
knowledge in the project of designing new reforms and political
systems for the digital age. The contributions also show how this
task requires a deep self-understanding of who we are as
individuals and as a species. The questions raised here have
ancient -- perhaps even timeless -- roots. The phenomena they
address may be new. But, the contributors examine the fundamental
concepts that undergird them: good and evil, justice and truth.
Indeed, every epoch has its great challenges. The role of
philosophy must be to redefine the meaning of these concepts in
light of the particular challenges it faces. This is true also for
the digital age. This book takes an important step towards
redefining and re-implementing fundamental ethical concepts to this
new era.
In this groundbreaking interdisciplinary work, the authors focus on
organizational analysis to understand workplace wellbeing,
deviating from previous research that mostly looks at the
individual worker or intervention. In addressing the question of
why workplace health and wellbeing practices initiatives fall short
of delivering sustained improvements in worker wellbeing, this book
moves beyond localized explanations of the failure of specific
interventions. Instead, it creates theoretical frameworks that
explain how wellbeing at work can be improved and sustained. The
authors use evidence from systematic and comprehensive surveys of
the literature as well as new empirical research, and present an
explanatory framework of the processes through which organizations
change to implement and accommodate workplace health and wellbeing
practices. Learning, adaptation and continuation explain successful
implementation of workplace health and wellbeing practices, while
Gestalting, fracturing and grafting explain how organizations
resolve or negotiate conflict between health and wellbeing
practices and existing organizational procedures, systems and
practices. In addition, the authors reflect on the implications for
research of reframing the unit of analysis as the organization and
how studies on workplace wellbeing practices can provide a
conceptual platform for thinking about the way organizations can
create social value in a broader sense. This book, authored by
experts in their field, is a great resource for academics and
professionals of organizational studies and of worker wellbeing
across the social sciences, behavioural sciences, business and
management courses, wellbeing research, and labour studies.
This is one of the first books to draw together information and
views about international control of food safety from around the
world. Demands for safe food, against a background of increasing
trade, are making international controls on food safety essential.
Agreements on how to control the safety of food to meet these needs
are now in place among the major trading blocks, particularly in
Europe and in the USA, and more recently, in Australia. This book
also describes progress in areas such as systematically reviewing
risk from food; developing national infrastructures to enforce
standards; and growing input from consumer groups and others,
including economists, to the debate on how to set international
food standards. Discussed in depth is the effort to achieve global
standards for food safety under the auspices of the Codex
Alimentarius Commission. There are chapters from world-leading
experts on Codex, international control of radiological
contamination, pesticides and veterinary drugs, and other chemical
contaminants.
The Big House Anthology is a celebration of the last decade of work
and plays by a unique theatre company, featuring five original
plays that offer a chance for stories with diverse casts to
contribute to the canon of theatre's literature. As a UK-based
theatre company, The Big House empowers care leavers and other
disadvantaged young people through performance and long-term
support. Their plays are born from the hearts and minds of the
young people they engage, with this anthology offering five very
different plays: a runner struck down by MS; a rapper who spits and
snarls and tries to find it in herself to forgive; a teenager who
fights for wealth, status and respect in the underworld of county
lines; a cackling cowboy they call Corona; and a dog that has been
tracked, murdered and stuck in a stew. This anthology celebrates
the explosive creativity that comes from mobilising and platforming
diverse voices, and its importance in generating social change.
Framed and introduced by directors and writers discussing their
practice, along with an introduction by Jez Butterworth, this is a
book for students, educators, artists, theatre-practitioners,
social workers and storytellers to tell stories that are rarely
told, let alone with such fierce authenticity.

Originally published in 1978, Philosophy in Social Work is a
collection of papers that invites reflective consideration of the
philosophical issues arising out of social work. The work stemmed
from a series of meetings at the University of Glasgow, designed to
encourage philosophers to look at traditional problems raised in
the comparatively unfamiliar setting of social work and social
service, and for social workers to see the place for philosophical
reflection on what they are doing. Among the subjects discussed in
the collection are discretion, rights, charity and the Welfare
State, the morality of law and the politics of probation, authority
and the social workers, and social work and ideology. The
underlying theme of all the papers is the away in which philosophy
can revive discussion of beliefs and values in social work. It also
asks philosophers to intensify their treatment of concrete issues
of social significance.
Originally published in 1976 Talking About Welfare is a collection
of essays providing a general survey of the problems facing social
welfare. The book introduces a number of philosophers, social
workers and social administrators, concentrating on problems in
describing a general philosophical orientation to social work, what
it means to understand another person, and to problems in
describing and justifying social work and social welfare activity.
The essays collected contribute to discussion of a wide range of
welfare issues, principally that of personal and social welfare,
the moral justification of welfare provision, and conceptions of
community.
The world keeps turning to apocalypticism. Time is imagined as
proceeding ineluctably to a catastrophic, perhaps revelatory
conclusion. Even when evacuated of distinctly religious content, a
broadly ecclesial structure persists in conceptions of our
precarious life and our collective journey to an inevitable
fate-the extinction of the human species. It is commonly believed
that we are propelled along this course by human turpitude, myopia,
hubris or ignorance, and by the irreparable damage we have wrought
to the world we inhabit. Yet, this apprehension is insidious. Such
teleological convictions and crises-laden narratives lead us to
undervalue contingent, hesitant and provisional forms of experience
and knowledge. The essays comprising this volume concern a range of
writers' engagements with apocalyptic reasoning. Extending from a
reading of Percy Bysshe Shelley's 'Triumph of Life' to critiques of
contemporary American novels, they examine the ways in which 'end
times' reasoning can inhibit imaginative reflection, blunt
political advocacy or - more positively - provide a repertoire for
the critique of complacency. By gathering essays concerning a wide
range of periods and literary dispositions, this volume makes an
important contribution to thinking about apocalypticism in
literature but also as a social and political discourse. This book
was originally published as a special issue of Studia
Neophilologica.
