Exploring the contentious relationship between trade and labour,
this book looks at the impact of the EU's 'new generation' free
trade agreements on workers. Drawing upon extensive original
research, including over 200 interviews with key actors across the
EU and its trading partners, it considers the effectiveness of the
trade-labour linkage in an era of global value chains. The EU
believes trade can work for all, claiming that labour provisions in
its free trade agreements ensure that economic growth and high
labour standards go hand-in-hand. Yet whether these actually make a
difference to workers is strongly contested. This book explains why
labour provisions have been profoundly limited in the EU's
agreements with the CARIFORUM group, South Korea and Moldova. It
also shows how the provisions were mismatched with the most
pressing workplace concerns in the key export industries of sugar,
automobiles and clothing, and how these concerns were exacerbated
by the agreements' commercial provisions. This pioneering approach
to studying the trade-labour linkage provides insights into key
debates on the role of civil society in trade governance, the
relationship between public and private labour regulation, and the
progressive possibilities for trade policy in the twenty-first
century. This book will appeal to research scholars, post-graduate
students, trade policy practitioners, policy researchers allied to
labour movements, and informed activists.

In the endless debate about the Two Cultures no book until this
attempted to provide a selection of scientific writing on specific
themes to stimulate students of arts subjects into discussion and
writing about the nature of science and its relationship with the
rest of life. This book is based on a selection of prose passages
written by scientists about science, supplemented by notes and a
brief linking commentary. Originally published in 1965, the
passages were chosen to illustrate or comment on different aspects
of eleven main themes, ranging from surveys of changing ideas on
the nature of the universe and the material of which it was made,
to evolution past and future and the relation of science with
religion and art. Most of the extracts were from contemporary
authors, but there are passages by Aristotle, Bacon, Boyle, Hooke,
Newton, Dalton, Faraday and Darwin. At the end of the book there
are suggestions for discussion to accompany each chapter, to
encourage the study of the use of language in consideration of the
nature, history and role of science.

We live in perilous times: the truths of Christianity are under
daily attack. Anti-religious books are everywhere - even in
"Christian" bookstores. Consider The God Delusion by Richard
Dawkins, God is not great by Christopher Hitchens, or The End of
Faith by Sam Harris. These books and others are converting America
to a secular, atheist state. Plus, Islam is growing worldwide.
Fewer people identify themselves as Christians than in the past, a
decrease of 10 to 20 percent in just the last few years. Young
people are leaving the church in record numbers, as many as 70
percent in a decade. Intellectual skepticism is growing at an
unprecedented pace as the truths of the Gospels are under daily
assault. What can we do? Clearly we must confront these attacks and
beat them at their own game: reason and science. James Harrison
shows us how to do this in The Pattern & The Prophecy: God's
Great Code. At the core of all the sciences is mathematics. The
author proves God put as much mathematics into His Word as he
placed in His Works. Everyone knows the number of the Antichrist,
but who knows the number of Christ or the number of Jesus? And how
is Jesus' number related to Noah, to being born again, and the
resurrection. And since fishermen never count fish, what is the
purpose of exactly 153 fish from John 21:11? Harrison reveals all
this and much, much more proving mathematics lies at the heart of
God's Holy Word from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21, the Bible's
first and last verses. Armed with this absolute certainty
Christians can convert any non-believer. As Isaiah 54:17 says, "No
weapon forged against you will prevail." After reading this book,
you will be an expert on the Bible's patterns, numbers, and
symbolism. You have never read like this before - a book that comes
along once in a lifetime to change lives forever. This book is
destined to become an American classic. Look for yourself Included
are many color photographs, numerous illustrations, bibliography,
proofs, and three indexes: scriptural, number, and subject. Easy to
read and informative, this book will enrich the spiritual life of
every Christian. This book has garnered a consistent string of rave
reviews - here are two: The author, guided by the Holy Spirit,
connects Old Testament dates and history and connects them to New
Testament reality, straight forward to our days. With even-handed
treatment that presents different views in an organized and logical
form, The Pattern & The Prophecy is a great resource for
putting the information into an easy to understand format and
teaching eschatology. The author is simply brilliant, a scrupulous
scholar, and his point of view is based primarily on the Canonized
Holy Scriptures although he is not afraid to gain insights from
other sources of information. This particular book plows new
ground. I need to re-read it. I think it's worth the time and
effort. Very thought provoking A must read for those who want to
know the truth in a beautiful new eBook format. Gerry, Alabama,
Teacher If you want more understanding as you read the Bible, read
this book. It proves that God is the Master Mathematician.
Actually, I'm not any good at math at all, but I understand the
basic concept Harrison is writing about. As a matter of fact, its
easy to do this yourself. For example: In Chapter 8 I read that
"153" is Jesus' celestial number, so I found out on my own that the
word "lamb(s)" is in the Old Testament 153 times (Jesus is the
"Lamb" of God that takes the sin away from the world) Also,
regarding the 144,000 Jews that will be saved after the rapture, I
counted Jerusalem in the New Testament and it's in there 144 times
I love this book Go for it - you can find your own pieces of the
"God" puzzle as I have. God is letting us in on so many things.
