In the neoliberal world, rising individualism has frequently been
linked to rising inequality. Drawing on social theory, philosophy,
history, institutional research and a wealth of contemporary
empirical data, this innovative book analyzes the tangled
relationship between individualism and inequality and explores the
possibilities of rediscovering individualism's revolutionary
potential. Ralph Fevre demonstrates that a belief in individual
self-determination powered the development of human rights and
inspired social movements from anti-slavery to socialism, feminism
and anti-racism. At the same time, every attempt to embed
individualism in systems of education and employment has eventually
led to increased social inequality. The book discusses influential
thinkers, from Adam Smith to Herbert Spencer and John Dewey, as
well as the persistence of discrimination despite equality laws,
management and the transformation of individualism, individualism
in work and mental illness, work insecurity and intensification.
This multi-disciplinary book will be essential reading for students
and scholars of sociology, economics, philosophy, political
science, management science and public policy studies, among other
subjects. It will also be of use to policymakers and those who want
to know how the culture and politics of the neoliberal world are
unfolding.

Trouble in the workplace - whether it is bullying, harassment or
stress - is always in the headlines. Yet, in many discussions, the
research and statistics that are cited prove unreliable. This book
summarizes the largest specialist research programme on
ill-treatment in the workplace so far undertaken. It provides a
powerful antidote to half-truths and misinformation and offers a
new way of conceptualizing trouble at work, moving the discussion
away from individualized explanations - and talk of 'bullies' and
'victims' - towards the workplace characteristics that cause
trouble at work. The biggest problems arise where organisations
fail to create a workplace culture in which individuals really
matter. Paradoxically, these are often the organizations which are
well-versed in modern management practices.

This volume discusses Alfred Binet's works on pedagogy based on his
"Orthopedie Mentale". Binet had empirically found that his idea of
a test of general intelligence could be replaced by a test on
"problem areas". These problem areas were then to be specifically
addressed and improved within a relatively short time. As a result,
students dramatically improved in their IQ test results. Binet died
before he could publish the results. Fortunately, the rector of the
school, Victor Vaney, published the results of Binet's experiments
in his school. This volume provides the first English translation
of Vaney's publication as well as an introduction to Binet's mostly
forgotten late work.

In this fourth book in the popular series, Theodosia sets off to
Egypt to return the Emerald Tablet--embedded with the knowledge of
some of the ancient world's most guarded secrets. Accompanied by
her cat, Isis (smuggled along in a basket), Theo plans to return
the artifact, then explore the mysteries surrounding her own birth
and oh, yes--help her mother dig up treasures on her archeological
expedition. But nothing ever works out as planned, especially when
a precious treasure appears suddenly, and then just as suddenly
disappears . . . When the Serpents of Chaos get involved, Theo
finds she's digging up a lot more than she expected! This highly
praised, exciting middle grade series is a must for fans of
mysteries, humor, and nonstop action.
Being able to detect black magic isn't all tea and crumpets--and
for Theodosia Throckmorton, it can be a decidedly tricky business
When Sticky Will drags Theo to a magic show featuring the Great Awi
Bubu, she quickly senses there is more to the magician than he lets
on . . .
Meanwhile, back at the Museum of Legends and Antiquities, Henry is
home for the spring holidays and discovers an artifact that
alchemists have been hunting for centuries. Soon, every occultist
in London is after it.
