Struggles for environmental justice involve communities mobilising
against powerful forces which advocate 'development', driven
increasingly by neoliberal imperatives. In doing so, communities
face questions about their alliances with other groups, working
with outsiders and issues of class, race, ethnicity, gender,
worker/community and settler/indigenous relationships. Written by a
wide range of international scholars and activists, contributors
explore these dynamics and the opportunities for agency and
solidarity. They critique the practice of community development
professionals, academics, trade union organisers, social movements
and activists and inform those engaged in the pursuit of justice as
community, development and environment interact.
Equality and Anti-Discrimination Law covers The Equality Act 2010
and other anti-discrimination protections both within the UK
legislation and in the context of EU law. The UK's approach to
ensuring equality for the workforce is notoriously difficult to
navigate, with various aspects of protection being contained and
discussed across a range of statutory and non-statutory
instruments. Although the Equality Act 2010 is often viewed as
central to the equality laws of the UK, there are other key areas
that must also be borne in mind, including atypical worker
protection and family friendly regulation: each of these are
discussed to sufficient detail to enable the reader to gain a
working understanding of how each operates. In considering each of
these key areas this text attempts to decipher and navigate each of
them with the end user in mind. The protections, and the thresholds
that need to be satisfied to acquire the protections, are broken
down into their constituent parts and analysed using key case law
and relevant codes of practices with a view to ensuring that their
practical use is understood by the reader. Through adopting this
approach the book ensures that the reader gets to grips with key
concepts that protect on an equality footing. The text takes
account of case law from both UK courts, and European Courts where
this is needed. This helps show the interaction that UK and EU law
has in the area of equality law, and that the systems are
interdependent to some extent. For those wishing to go beyond the
simple practical application of the law the text touches upon a
number of academic debates that exist in the area of equality law,
to further stimulate those with an interest in the law, but further
to highlight some of the perceived weaknesses that exist with the
UK's current approach to equality protection, and whets the
appetite for further discussion.

Lion Hearted Love is a rowdy, fun look at the marital partnership
— love included, money included, sacrifices included
— over the long arcs of time. The modern agenda for
marriage is ambitious It's to be a partnership of romantic love and
robust economy and individual fulfillment. Did we say ambitious?
Mark Butler, maestro of the alt-money universe, delivers once
again. Expect a little wisdom, a little practical advice, and a
trove of kicky and poignant stories about the crazy things we
humans can do in this domain.
We know that personal finance should be simple math: spend less
than what comes in the door. Yet we also know thatpeople being
peoplethis is rarely done with ease. Enter Mark Butlers winsome,
original work on the psychology of money. While encountering a
variety of irrepressible characters and their all-too-human
stories, were presented a compelling new paradigm through which to
finally see who we are in relation to our personal money. In Zen
Money Blues, this proves to be a most humorous and satisfying
journey.
The book reviews the evolution of labour law within the EU,
analyses the distinct regional approaches to employment and
welfare, and looks at the pressures for change within a further
enlarged EU. The authors then provide a basic outline of employment
law in each of the 28 member states, and in Turkey, Montenegro and
Bosnia Herzegovina (all of whom are preparing for membership). In
the six years since the second edition of this book was published
in 2010 the economic consequences of the global financial crisis of
2008 onwards have forced many EU member states to revisit their
labour laws, and attempt to make their labour markets more
competitive while remaining in the EU framework. These changes have
been incorporated into the third edition. The book identifies those
areas where the law is unified by the enactment of European
Directives, and regional differences which are potential pitfalls
for employers with workers in more than one EU state. It is
intended for HR persons, lawyers looking for basic knowledge,
policymakers & lawmakers elsewhere in EU, and EU bodies. About
the authors: Stephen Hardy LLB PhD FRSA MCIArb FHEAcad, is

(Social Entitlement Chamber). Mark Butler LLB LLM PhD is a

University. He is the author of Spiramus's Equality and

Advanced Australia explores the politics of ageing in Australia.
The addition of 25 years to average life expectancy in Australia
over the past century is a monumental achievement, but many
commentators are greeting the prospect of Australians living longer
with horror. The ageing of Australia's baby boomers will sharpen
this debate, both because of the size of their generation, as well
as their history of reshaping every phase of life in their own
image. Ageing will dominate Australian politics for years to come,
touching almost every area of policy - retirement incomes, housing,
employment, urban design and more. Advanced Australia makes the
case for a much more positive approach to ageing that celebrates
the continuing contribution older Australians make to our
community.
