 Erin Wunker, "The Routledge Introduction to Twentieth- and Twenty-First-Century Canadian Poetry" English | ISBN: 0367371669 | 2022 | 216 pages | PDF | 14 MB When asked the question "what is the power of poetry?," writer Ian Williams said "poetry punctures the surface." Williams' statement―that poetry matters and that it does something―is at the heart of this book. Building from this core idea that poetry perforates the everyday to give greater range to our lives and our thinking, the practical and pedagogical aim of this book is twofold: the first aim is to provide students with an introduction to the key cultural, political, and historical events that inform twentieth- and twenty-first-century Canadian poetry; and to familiarize those same readers with poetic movements, trends, and forms of the same time period. This book addresses the aesthetic and social contexts of Canadian poetry written in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries: it models for its readers the critical and theoretical discourses needed to understand the contexts of literary production in Canada. Put differently, readers need a sense of the "where" and "how" of poetic production to help situate them in the "what" of poetry itself. In addition to offering a historically contextualized overview of the significant movements, developments, and poets of this time period, this book also familiarizes readers with key moments of reflection and rupture, such as the effects of economic and ecological crisis, global conflicts, and debates around appropriation of culture. This book is built on the premise that poetry in Canada does not happen outside of political, social, and cultural contexts.

Cătălin Gabriel Stănescu, "The Regulation of Debt Collection in Europe: Understanding Informal Debt Collection Practices " English | ISBN: 1032380330 | 2022 | 256 pages | PDF | 3 MB Due to the absence of due process and other procedural guarantees generally offered by judicial enforcement, informal debt collection practices (IDCPs) can become abusive, harming both consumers and the economy by threatening consumers' physical, psychological, and economic wellbeing; exposing law-abiding debt collectors to unfair competition; undermining the financial system, and negatively impacting social peace by resorting to criminal activity. The need to control and harmonize IDCPs surfaced in connection with the European Commission's Action Plan to tackle the high level of non-performing loans caused by the financial crisis and the Covid-19 pandemic - specifically the Proposal for a Directive on Credit Servicers, Credit Purchasers, and the Recovery of Collateral (CSD). Harmonizing the regulation of abusive IDCPs is vital for several reasons. First, IDCPs have a cross-border dimension due to the freedom of movement, enabling debt collection operations across the internal market. Second, the internal market's size amounts to over 450 million citizens potentially exposed to abusive IDCPs. The regulatory frameworks addressing IDCPs in the EU display divergent characteristics that may be difficult to navigate and require creating a level-playing field for consumers and debt collectors, especially when approaches vary at Member State level. This book addresses this gap by providing a comprehensive guide to regulating informal debt collection practices in eight Member States (MS) of the EU and the United Kingdom (UK). It serves as a comparative law instrument for implementing the recently adopted Credit Servicers Directive (CSD). It will be important reading for students, academics and stakeholders with an interest in debt collection practices and the law.  The Rape of Justice: America's Tribunals Exposed By Eustace Clarence Mullins 2016 | 426 Pages | ISBN: 1911417029 | PDF | 23 MB The first codifications of law recorded in civilization acknowledged the importance of law to our human systems. Noah enjoined his sons to observe justice, to cover the shame of their flesh, to bless their Creator, to honor their father and mother, and to refrain from iniquity and uncleanness. These principles were later refined into the form in which we know them, the Ten Commandments. Man's very existence was predicated upon his obedience to the Law of God. Tradition maintains that this law was formulated as a verbal acknowledgement of the covenant between God and His People. It entailed consideration from both parties, and thus was a legal and binding contract according to the established principles of law. However, this Covenant did not encompass all of the known population of the world, but merely that group known as God's People, the People of Israel. As chronicled in Genesis, the first book of the Bible, Man, that is, Adam, was ruddy of complexion. This ruddiness was the conscious reminder of his dedication to upholding the Law of God. Whenever he transgressed this law, he would blush, in conscious acknowledgement that he had been disobedient. The blood would rush to his face, in a visible blush, as the mark of his disobedience and the reminder that he must fulfill the Law.  The ROI of Human Capital: Measuring the Economic Value of Employee Performance By Jac FITZ-ENZ 2009 | 336 Pages | ISBN: 0814436730 | PDF | 32 MB The lifeblood of any business enterprise is its people. Dr. Jac Fitz-enz helps readers quantify that statement by critically gauging their true human costs and their employees' productivity. The ROI of Human Capital does this this by providing readers with detailed material on topics including corporate outsourcing, developments in behavioral science, and advances in trending and forecasting that have dramatically changed the way organizations measure the bottom line effect of employee performance. You'll learn how to evaluate people metrics at three critical levels: organizational (contributions to corporate goals), functional (impact on process improvement), and human resources management (value added by five basic HR department activities) to most effectively and accurately determine your profit and results. For years, The ROI of Human Capital has been the number-one resource for decision makers and human resources professionals assessing employee contributions and ROI. Now updated with the most relevant, up-to-the-minute metrics, the second edition continues to add value to teams by helping them perform the essential task of measuring the value of their people.  The Quest for "Just and Pure Law": Rocky Mountain Workers and American Social Democracy, 1870-1924 By John P. Enyeart 2009 | 344 Pages | ISBN: 0804749868 | PDF | 6 MB Focusing on the political culture forged by Rocky Mountain workers from the 1870s through the 1920s, this book shows how the unique working-class politics of the region led to remarkable successes in securing progressive labor legislation. These successes―especially in improving workers' hours, wages, and safety―in turn played a central role in transforming the nation's attitudes toward workers' rights. Examining political culture in the everyday lives of workers (from shop floors to union halls to recreation), the author uncovers a labor movement based as much on pragmatism as on ideology, and he traces how its members productively focused their efforts on political action at the local and state levels. In the process, they developed a genuinely social-democratic political culture. |
