In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, this timely Handbook builds upon
research and practice to discuss and assess what is currently known
about virtual work and its evolution, given the increasing numbers of
those working virtually.
Taking a holistic approach to the subject, the expert contributors
review the critical areas of virtual work split into five thematic
parts. Firstly technology, the foundation of virtual work, is
thoroughly discussed focussing on new forms of technology and the use
of AI. Working practices of both the individual and virtual teams are
then fully reviewed alongside the organisation, context and emerging
systems that support virtual work in practice. Forward-thinking, this
Handbook, looks at the future direction and where we go from here
towards the next decade of virtual work.
Managers and practitioners who are moving towards virtual or hybrid
working or continuing to work remotely will find this an excellent
resource for ongoing and future guidance. Scholars and researchers
interested in this expanding subject will find this illuminating and
informative.
This Research Handbook offers unparalleled insights into the
large-scale resurgence of interest in Marx and Marxism in recent
years, with contributions devoted specifically to Marxist critiques
of law, rights, and the state. The Research Handbook brings
together thirty-three scholars of Marx, Marxism, and law from
around the world to offer theoretically informed introductions to
the Marxist tradition of social critique, contemporary Marxist
analyses of law and rights, and future orientations of Marxist
legal analysis. Chapters testify to the strength of Marxist
critical tools for understanding the role of law, rights, and the
state in capitalist societies. Â Exploring Marxist critique
across an extraordinarily wide range of scholarly disciplines, this
Research Handbook is a must-read for scholars of law, politics,
sociology, philosophy, and political economy who are interested in
Marxism. Graduate and advanced undergraduate students in these and
related disciplines will also benefit from the Research Handbook.

The inventive, hilarious and deliciously spooky second book from Mr
Spicebag author, Freddie Alexander First off, let’s get one thing
clear. Monsters under the bed are real. Let me repeat. MONSTERS
UNDER THE BED ARE REAL… Eleven-year-old Sam has been shipped off
from her city home to the wild and windy Draymur Isle, where she
lives in an old lighthouse with Granddad and his mischievous goat,
Myrtle. Not all is as it seems on Draymur Island, and Granddad
keeps telling Sam to put jam on her feet before bedtime to keep the
monsters away. Sam thinks he might be bonkers, but then she wakes
to hear an odd squelching sound coming from under the bed… Is it
just Myrtle eating another one of Sam’s socks? Or are
Granddad’s tales of mysterious monsters on the island true?
Better get the jam, just in case!

Be warned, Reader, this book isn’t about a normal spice bag, nor
is it about a normal boy. Quite the opposite. This book is about
the Spice Bag, and our unlikely hero: a 10-year-old boy named
George… It also has: A dash of adventure A sprinkle of mystery A
greasy villain And a talking mouse And then there’s Mr
Spicebag’s chipper, which seems to be at the centre of
everything. George is about to have the weirdest week of his life.
‘The greatest adventure about spice bags ever written!’ Chip
Chipwell, The Chipper Times ‘The best book I have eaten. No
competition.’ George McGorge, Competitive Eater Magazine
Frank Knox served as Secretary of the Navy during some of the most
eventful years in U.S. naval history, his tenure coinciding with a
number of dramas such as the innovative 1940 bases-for-destroyers
initiative (which he conceptualized prior to entering the
administration), the undeclared naval war in the Atlantic against
Germany’s U-boats in 1941, the December 1941 attack on Pearl
Harbor, the subsequent naval war in the Pacific, and naval landings
in North Africa and Italy. Knox’s most important contribution to
the war effort was his leadership in building a 1,000-ship fleet,
without which the much-heralded landings and battles might never
have been possible. In this comprehensive biography, Christopher D.
O’Sullivan offers a portrait of the Roughrider in FDR’s
cabinet.

This book is not about leadership, at least in the way we normally
think about it. Leadership is not about position, or
authority.It’s not about big speeches or grand visions.
Leadership is engaging others to solve daunting challenges. Those
challenges appear in our professional lives, in our communities,
our families—and they seem unsolvable, beyond our ability to see
what needs to be done or outside our capacity to make the changes
needed. They are not. Because, leadership is an activity—small
actions taken in moments of opportunity. And as you start to look
around, you can begin to see more of those moments, seize the
opportunity in those moments. Most importantly, you can help others
see those opportunities too. That’s why everyone can lead and the
real power to solve our most important challenges is when everyone
leads.
