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.
Works of theatre that depict grievous histories derive their force
from making audible voices of the past. Such performances,
theatrical or tourist, require the attentive belief of spectators.
This engaging new study explores how theatricality works in each
instance and how 'playing the part' of the listener can be
understood in ethical terms.
This book focuses on the relationship between health sector and
industrial relations reforms and the impact these have had on
employment relations in Australia since 1990. The book adds to the
international literature on New Public Management with a
distinctively Australian focus and synthesizes the impact of health
sector and industrial relations reforms on health care management
and work practices. It illustrates that New Public Management
practices have been implemented creatively at both macro and micro
levels. The book provides context to the changing work practices in
the health care sector.
We Americans have enshrined our most cherished rights in the
First Amendment to our Constitution, including the freedom of
religion, speech and press; the right to assemble; and the right to
petition the government for redress of grievances. Since the
formation of the republic, Congress has been actively engaged in
enacting laws that have a direct and significant bearing on First
Amendment rights. This ideal student resource provides the
carefully edited and explained text of 31 landmark Congressional
laws in all areas of First Amendment rights-from internal security
to symbolic speech, campaign financing, obscenity, intellectual
property, and freedom of religion. Organized topically for ease of
use, this resource allows students to examine and compare the
landmark laws on a particular topic across the breadth of American
history through the year 2000. For instance, students can compare
changes in the laws on obscenity from the Comstock Act of 1873, to
the Anti-Dial-a-Porn Act of 1989 and the Child Online Protection
Act of 1998.
The landmark laws are organized into nine categories: internal
security, symbolic speech, election campaign activities, obscenity,
intellectual property, labor-management relations, federally funded
programs, and freedom of religion. Each category opens with a
general overview of the laws covered in that section and a brief
summary of how they relate to each other. The entry on each
landmark law features a discussion of the historical background of
the law, the intent and purpose of the law, an examination of the
substance and impact of the law, and a carefully edited actual text
of key passages of the law. Each entry concludes with a
bibliography of recommended print sources and Web sites for
students. An introductory overview of Congressional legislation on
the First Amendment, followed by a detailed timeline of milestones
in the history of Congressional legislation on First Amendment
issues, put the topic in historical context for students. An
appendix of tables of the statutes and cases with complete
citations will aid student researchers.

A classic of British cultural studies, "Profane Culture" takes
the reader into the worlds of two important 1960s youth
cultures--the motor-bike boys and the hippies. The motor-bike boys
were working-class motorcyclists who listened to the early rock 'n'
roll of the late 1950s. In contrast, the hippies were middle-class
drug users with long hair and a love of progressive music. Both
groups were involved in an unequal but heroic fight to produce
meaning and their own cultural forms in the face of a larger
society dominated by the capitalist media and commercialism. They
were pioneers of cultural experimentation, the self-construction of
identity, and the curating of the self, which, in different ways,
have become so widespread today.
In "Profane Culture," Paul Willis develops an important and
still very contemporary theory and methodology for understanding
the constructions of lived and popular culture. His new preface
discusses the ties between the cultural moment explored in the book
and today.
The testimonies that you will read on the following pages are
personal stories of courage, hope, faith and strength in the face
of adversity. Some will make you cry, some will make you laugh and
some will simply bring home the fact that God is. A Book of
Triumphs and Impossibilities There is definitely a higher power up
there in the heavens. My co-author Andreka Eberhart and I know this
first hand because I was brought back from not being able to see at
all, to being able to see; not being able to walk at all, to
walking with confidence - to being on the brink of certain death to
doing things I once did before and sometimes better than before -
and Andreka's bout with MS had her brain ravished, where doctors
gave her little chance of a complete recovery. We contribute all of
our health and wealth and blessings to God - Jesus Christ - our
Lord and Savior. What is a testimony? The dictionary defines a
testimony as a statement under oath, proof or evidence of
something. My definition of a testimony is simply a lesson: a
lesson in life, in truth and the knowledge of God and His promises.
It is my hope that your faith will be strengthened and you will
have greater hope, peace and joy by reading these testimonies and
that you will discover beyond a shadow of a doubt that with God,
all things are possible
This is a new release of the original 1924 edition.
One of the most complex challenges facing the U.S. military today
is the problem of imposing stability over the chaos that follows
major combat operations. Despite the U.S. military's predilection
to distill warfare into the linear, Newtonian paradigm, recent
experience in Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) suggests that the cause
and effect correlation between high-velocity major combat
operations and achieving a complex political endstate such as
regime change is becoming less certain in the contemporary
strategic environment. The transition to stability operations in a
non-linear, dynamic environment is proving more difficult, and
perhaps more decisive, than the major combat phase of a campaign.
At some point in every war, the focus must shift from rupturing the
existing system to stabilizing and legitimizing a new one; the
center of gravity from the enemy's military forces to ending the
chaos and violence that follow major combat operations. The aim of
this study is to examine the difficulty in planning and executing
these transitions from a historical perspective.
