Contemporary issues in human resource management 4e, is written by
a team of international authors presenting the latest thinking on
HRM in today's organisations. There is a strong focus on applying
current theories and models to successful companies, both within
the global and local contexts. The latest research in the field of
HRM is used to demonstrate topical issues with a strategic and
innovative perspective.
There is an urgent need to develop new approaches to treat
conditions as- ciated with the aging global population. The
surgeon's approach to many of these problems could be described as
having evolved through three stages: Removal: Traditionally,
diseased or badly damaged tissues and structures might simply be
removed. This was appropriate for limbs and non-essential organs,
but could not be applied to structures that were critical to
sustain life. An additional problem was the creation of disability
or physical deformity that in turn could lead to further
complications. Replacement: In an effort to treat wider clinical
problems, or to overcome the limitations of amputation, surgeons
turned to the use of implanted materials and medical devices that
could replace the functions of biological structures. This field
developed rapidly in the 1960s and 1970s, with heart valve and
total joint replacement becoming common. The term "biomaterial" was
used increasingly to describe the materials used in these
operations, and the study of biomaterials became one of the first
truly interdisciplinary research fields. Today, biomaterials are
employed in many millions of clinical procedures each year and they
have become the mainstay of a very successful industry.
In an innovative and wide-ranging collection of essays, The
Performing Century looks at modes of performance and forms of
theatre in Nineteenth-century Britain and Ireland. From the vogue
for fairy plays to the acting styles of melodrama, from the work of
a single impresario to the nature of a genre, from ship-launches in
Belfast to royal weddings in England, from the representation of
economics to the work of a parliamentary committee in regulating
theatres, the authors bring new perspectives on familiar material
and radically redefine what theatre and performance in the
Nineteenth century might be.
A collection of original case studies of different types of
political violence in the 20th and 21st century inspired by the
pioneering work of Robert Conquest. They focus on the origins,
manifestations and legitimation of such violence. Historic settings
and case studies include the former Soviet Union, Mao's China,
Castro's Cuba and the terrorism associated with radical-militant
Islam.
This collection brings together a group of distinguished and
original theater historians engaged in rethinking the nature of
early modern theater history as a discipline. Whether focusing on
the relation between scripts and performance practice, the
structure of theatrical companies, the social dimensions of drama,
or the archaeology of the stage, all are concerned with basic
questions of evidence and interpretation, and offer significant,
and often startling, revisions of our view of the early modern
theater.

the vogue for fairy plays to the representation of economics to the
work of a parliamentary committee in regulating theatres, the
authors redefine what theatre and performance in the Nineteenth

In a series of essays, several of the most significant figures in the field present a wide-ranging interrogation of the practice of theatre history studies at the present time, raising questions of history and historiography; the bearing of national, sexual, and racial identity on the canons of theatre history; the limits of print and the history of non-textual forms of performance; the intersections between theatre and other forms of commodification; and even the work of performance at the borders of the human.
What can the printed texts of plays from Shakespeare's time say
about performance? How have printed plays been read and
interpreted? This collection of essays considers the evidence of
early modern printed plays and their histories of production and
reception, examining a wide variety of cases, from early
performance to the psychology of Hamlet.
