Sexuality is arguably the most under-researched of all diversity
areas in work organizations. This book brings together and relates
stories of minority sexual identity from six organizations drawn
from three different industry sectors: the Emergency Services, the
Civil Service and the Banking sector. Here sexual minorities freely
recount stories of their own workplace experiences. Three main
themes emerge from the data: silence, disclosure and response.
Issues of voice and silence are particularly pertinent for those
who are not part of the dominant heterosexual discourse; issues of
disclosure are highly important for sexual minorities for whom
coming out is a major defining moment; and, highly unusually, in
this book readers get an insight into how people respond to sexual
minorities, as other employees' reactions to stories are related
too. This book makes a significant contribution to our
understanding discursive construction of identity in the workplace,
as experienced by sexual minorities and provides a snapshot of
minority working lives at the beginning of the 21st century. This
is an extremely well written, highly innovative, timely and
engaging book which as well as human resources management, it will
also be of interest to scholars in other areas such as sociology
and general business and management.
This book illuminates how the 'long eighteenth century' (1660-1800)
persists in our present through screen and performance media,
writing and visual art. Tracing the afterlives of the period from
the 1980s to the present, it argues that these emerging and
changing forms stage the period as a point of origin for the
grounding of individual identity in personal memory, and as a site
of foundational traumas that shape cultural memory.
Originally published in 1926, this book presents the content of a
series of lectures written by the British philosopher and
psychologist James Ward (1843-1925). Their focus is on the theory
and practice of education, providing an account regarding the
application of psychological methods within an educational context.
The 14 lectures were, for the most part, first delivered during the
Easter Term of 1880 in the Literary Schools at Cambridge
University. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest
in psychology, the history of education and child development.

We are surrounded by stationery: half-chewed Cristal Bics and bent
paper clips, rubber bands to fiddle with or ping, blunt pencils,
rubbers and Tipp-ex are integral parts of our everyday environment.
So much so that we never think about where they come from, why they
are the way they are - or what stories they might have to tell. But
luckily, James Ward does and he's here to tell you all about the
secret pull stationery exerts on our lives. After all, who remains
unmoved by the sight of a pristine blu-tak slab, or the first
unmarked sheet of a brand new notepad? And which of humanity's
brightest ideas didn't start life on a scrap of paper, a Post-it,
or in the margins of a notebook? Exploring the stories behind these
everyday objects, Ward reveals tales of invention - accidental and
brilliant - and bitter rivalry. He also asks the questions you
never thought you had: Who is Mr Pritt? What does shatter-proof
resistant mean? How many pens does Argos use? And what does design
evolutions in desk organisers mean for society? This witty and
entertaining book, packed with fascinating facts, will change the
way you look at your desk, pencil case or stationery cupboard
forever.
