Maurice Henry Harris's superb translation and commentary on the
sacred texts of Judaism are authentic, well-researched and
impeccably presented. Together they form a superb introduction to
Judaism and the Hebraic traditions. In this book, Harris undertakes
a thorough study of the ancient Jewish texts, hoping to present
them to Jewish and non-Jewish readers alike in a manner both
accessible and comprehensible to English speakers. The result is
this translated compendium of three of the most fundamental sacred
texts of Judaism: Together, these texts comprise three broad
compendiums constituting (alongside the Torah and Hebrew Bible) the
core principles of the Jewish faith. As such they hold immense
historical, philosophical and religious insights into Jewish
beliefs, and how ancient Rabbis sought to interpret God as
presented in the Bible. In addition to the three principle texts,
Harris explains the major Jewish fasts, festivals and customs, and
introduces a variety of common proverbs and sayings.
Dr. Harris has played a major role in the development of this
organism as a model system. Her previous version of the
"Chlamydomonas Sourcebook" which published in 1989, has been a
classic in the field and is considered required reading for anyone
working with this organism. This latest edition has been expanded
to include three volumes providing molecular techniques, analysis
of the recently sequenced genome, and reviews of the current status
of the diverse fields in which Chlamydomonas is used as a model
organism. Methods for Chlamydomonas research and best practices for
applications in research, including methods for culture,
preservation of cultures, preparation of media, lists of inhibitors
and other additives to culture media, are included. Additions to
this volume also include help with common laboratory problems such
as contamination, student demonstrations, and properties of
particular strains and mutants.

Inventing the Future: Information services for a New Millenium is a
sequel to Harris and Hannah's 1998 book Into the Future. In this
book they move beyond the rhetorical contests about the future of
the library and turn their attention to the more prosaic but vital
task of managing our ever more complex and constantly changing
libraries. The pages in this book present a blueprint that will
guide us in the re-visioning of library and information services,
allowing us to remain true to our inherited legacy while looking
insistently for innovative and effective ways of "inventing"our
future.
The Nigerian Diaspora is now world-wide, and when Yoruba travel,
they take with them their religious organizations. As a member of
the Cherubim and Seraphim church in London for over thirty years,
anthropologist Hermione Harris explores a world of prayer, spirit
possession, and divination through dreams and visions. Through
their religious practice, church members enlist the Holy Spirit to
defend themselves against witchcraft and evil spirits, and make a
success of their lives. Although the new Nigerian 'Born Again'
Pentecostals in Britain turn away from C&S ritual, Harris
argues that they too are engaged in the search for spiritual power.
for SATB (with divisions) unaccompanied A beautifully simple
setting of familiar words by Langston Hughes, Bring me all your
dreams showcases Harris's effective homophonic writing and rich
harmonic palette. The piece is incredibly atmospheric, with Harris
employing soft dynamics, lush harmonies, and expansive textures to
perfectly conjure the realm to which dreams can be brought 'away
from the too-rough fingers of the world'.

Shows how Hegel gradually discovers philosophy and the necessiy of
personal commitment as a philosopher.
This book, which takes account of everything that survives from the
manuscripts Hegel produced during his first academic career at the
University of Jena, is the first comprehensive survey of the
development of Hegel's mature system.
Exploring a new agenda to improve outcomes for American workers.As
the United States continues to struggle with the impact of the
devastating COVID-19 recession, policymakers have an opportunity to
redress the competition problems in our labor markets. Making the
right policy choices, however, requires a deep understanding of
long-term, multidimensional problems. That will be solved only by
looking to the failures and unrealized opportunities in anti-trust
and labor law. For decades, competition in the U.S. labor market
has declined, with the result that American workers have
experienced slow wage growth and diminishing job quality. While
sluggish productivity growth, rising globalization, and d union
representation are traditionally cited as factors for this historic
imbalance in economic power, weak competition in the labor market
is increasingly being recognized as a factor as well. This book by
noted experts frames the legal and economic consequences of this
imbalance and presents a series of urgently needed reforms of both
labor and anti-trust laws to improve outcomes for American workers.
These include higher wages, safer workplaces, increased ability to
report labor violations, greater mobility, more opportunities for
workers to build power, and overall better labor protections. Labor
Market Competition will interest anyone who cares about building a
progressive economic agenda or who has a marked interest in labor
policy. It also will appeal to anyone hoping to influence or
anticipate the much-needed progressive agenda for the United
States. The book's unusual scope provides prescriptions that, as
Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz notes in the introduction, map a
path for rebalancing power, not just in our economy but in our
democracy.
