 Free Download Juan A. Bogliaccini, "Empowering Labor: Leftist Approaches to Wage Policy in Unequal Democracies" English | ISBN: 1009433520 | 2024 | 240 pages | PDF | 2 MB Empowering Labor uses a comparative study of Chile, Portugal, and Uruguay to analyze the underlying political dynamics that shape the use of wage policy as a pre-distributive instrument of leftist parties in power in unequal democracies. The book theorizes that the unity of the Left and labor's political legitimacy are two main drivers for relating on wage policy as a pre-distributive instrument for promoting inclusion. These factors are shaped by elite long-term strategies towards labor. Such strategies, when dominant for long-enough periods, create path dependency, shaping differential opportunities for further options down the road. The book integrates large-scale historical processes with frequently analyzed short-term and agency-based factors to elucidate variation in the crafting of wage policies and reshapes the debate on the politics of pre-distribution in unequal democracies by situating the cases in a longer historical arc.  Free Download Cynthia Hazel, "Empowered Learning in Secondary Schools: Promoting Positive Youth Development Through a Multitiered System of Supports " English | ISBN: 1433821915 | 2016 | 224 pages | PDF | 3 MB Positive youth development (PYD) is a strengths-based, positive psychology approach to fostering adolescents' educational engagement and achievement.

Free Download Jo Ingold, "Employer Engagement: Making Active Labour Market Policies Work" English | ISBN: 1529222990 | 2023 | 284 pages | PDF | 15 MB Active labour market policies aim to assist people not in work to move into employment through a range of interventions including job search, preparation, training and in-work support and development. While policies, programmes and scholarship predominantly focus on jobseekers' engagement with these initiatives, this book is the first text to shed light on the employer's perspective. Bringing together renowned scholars from social and public policy and human resource management, the book draws on empirical research, comparative case studies and real-life examples from practice, providing a comprehensive analysis of this under-explored issue. This go-to resource will inform HRM and public policy scholarship and promote collaborations between the disciplines.  Free Download Chia-Huei Wu, "Employee Proactivity in Organizations: An Attachment Perspective" English | ISBN: 1529200571 | 2019 | 142 pages | PDF | 771 KB What makes some people more likely to initiate positive change within their organizations? Can this behaviour be influenced by management? Employee proactivity has largely been understood in terms of employees changing their environment or changing themselves. In this novel study Wu offers an alternative lens through which to examine such behaviour - the concept of attachment theory. Wu integrates the current understanding of motivational factors in shaping proactive workers, through his introduction to attachment theory, and development of it as a theoretical framework. This compelling approach provides academics with a new way of thinking about employee behaviour while also acting as a guide for practitioners and managers.  Free Download Empires of Sustainability: People and Planet after Globalisation English | 2024 | ISBN: 1032478470 | 187 Pages | PDF (True) | 4 MB Evidence of this shift is clear in widespread and purposeful social change which is gathering momentum. The book explains how globalisation accelerated us towards the crisis, and today, even as its own legitimacy is being questioned, is evolving through solutions and responses to it. Looking ahead and as the environmental crisis worsens, two possible futures are discerned and explored. One is that through universal actions to save the planet, shaped by interweaving political and economic forces, the hegemony of globalisation is restored, albeit in a green form. The other is that the world reorganises into competing spheres of influence, with politics, economics and the environment interwoven differently in each case. In these ways, we face the prospect of one or more Empires of Sustainability emerging over the decades ahead, unless we build a better alternative society. The author presents an alternative: a more diverse World of Caring Places.  Free Download Empire of the Winds: The Global Role of Asia's Great Archipelago by Philip Bowring English | September 17, 2020 | ISBN: 1350162345 | 336 pages | PDF | 17 Mb Nusantaria - often referred to as 'Maritime Southeast Asia' - is the world's largest archipelago and has, for centuries, been a vital cultural and trading hub. Nusantara, a Sanskrit, then Malay, word referring to an island realm, is here adapted to become Nusantaria - denoting a slightly wider world but one with a single linguistic, cultural and trading base. Nusantaria encompasses the lands and shores created by the melting of the ice following the last Ice Age. These have long been primarily the domain of the Austronesian-speaking peoples and their seafaring traditions. The surrounding waters have always been uniquely important as a corridor connecting East Asia to India, the Middle East, Europe and Africa.  Free Download Jeanne C. Watson, "Emotion-Focused Therapy for Generalized Anxiety" English | ISBN: 143382678X | 2017 | 266 pages | EPUB | 590 KB Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)-characterized by near-constant worry that often coincides with intense feelings of shame and despair-is a highly treatment-resistant disorder, with clients often relapsing after making some progress.

Greenberg argue, however, that emotion-focused therapy (EFT) is uniquely capable of targeting the maladaptive emotional schemes that underlie GAD and helping clients maintain lasting, positive change.

Free Download Karen Coats, "Emotion in Texts for Children and Young Adults: Moving Stories " English | ISBN: 9027212813 | 2023 | 242 pages | PDF | 5 MB Emotion in Texts for Children and Young Adults: Moving stories takes up key issues in affect studies while putting forward new approaches and ways of thinking about the intricate entanglements of emotion, affect, and story in relation to the functions, processes, and influences of texts designed for youth. With an emphasis on national literatures and international scholarship, it examines a variety of storytelling forms, formats, genres, and media crafted for readers ranging from the very young to the newly adult. Layering recent cognitive approaches to emotion, affect studies, and feminist perspectives on emotion, it investigates not only what texts for children and young adults have to say about emotion but also how such texts try to move their readers. In this, the chapters draw attention to the ways narrative literary texts address, elicit, shape, and/or embody emotion.
