Free Download Michelle Higgs, "Tracing Your Medical Ancestors: A Guide for Family Historians" English | 2011 | ISBN: 1848842775 | EPUB | pages: 192 | 1.5 mb The medical profession had as much influence on the lives of our ancestors as it does on our lives today.

This is the main purpose of Michelle Higgs's accessible and authoritative introduction to the subject.

Mark Crail provides a graphic and authoritative account of the history of the labor movement in Britain from the early nineteenth century to the modern day. He gives a vivid insight into the key stages in the development of labor relations - the battles fought by labor movement pioneers, the formation of the first unions, the influence of Chartism and the early socialist societies, the rise of the Labor Party and other left-wing groups, and the impact of organized labor on workers' lives as ordinary people gradually won the right to vote over the course of 200 years. At the same time he describes in detail the various books, museums, archives, websites and other resources that researchers can use to explore labor history for themselves and to uncover the careers and experience of their ancestors. A mass of information is available relating to individuals and to labor history in general, and this handbook is an invaluable guide to it. 'Tracing Your Labor Movement Ancestors' should be essential reading for anyone who wishes to learn about the origins and development of the labor movement and the role of individuals within it.

That is why Sue Wilkes's well researched and highly readable handbook on the subject is so valuable.

Daniel English | 2024 | ISBN: 3111201104 | 192 pages | True PDF EPUB | 9.84 MB  Free Download Toxic Cultures at Work: The Eight Drivers of a Toxic Culture and a Process for Change English | 2023 | ISBN: 1032309350 | 264 Pages | EPUB | 2.3 MB Existing books on toxic culture either skim the surface of the latest scandal or take a theoretical approach of limited use to practitioners trying to improve their organisations. Now, organisational development expert James Cannon presents an all-in-one resource based on organisational and individual psychology research that offers actionable suggestions for required change. Cannon provides a framework to understand the complexities of a toxic culture, identifying eight drivers: power, leadership personalities, values, organisation design, formal and informal systems, relations with the external environment and individual systems of motivation and reward. The book also offers a comprehensive toolkit with questionnaires and checklists to manage and achieve cultural change.
 Free Download Bareez Majid, "Towards an Understanding of Kurdistani Memory Culture: Apostrophic and Phantomic Approaches to a Violent Past " English | ISBN: 3031375130 | 2023 | 326 pages | PDF | 8 MB This book presents a thorough analysis of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq's memory culture, focusing particularly on commemorations and representations of the Anfal and Halabja atrocities. The author employs a transdisciplinary approach that draws on Memory Studies, Postcolonial Studies, Heritage Studies, Kurdish Studies, Literary Studies and Trauma Studies, to analyze cultural objects such as Kurdistani literary novels, museums, and school curricula. The book introduces two key concepts: the "phantomic museum" and the "apostrophic museum." The former explores the fragile and politicized nature of memories of missing individuals who disappeared during Saddam Hussein's genocidal campaigns and who have never been found, primarily as they return in the Halabja Monument and Peace Museum. The latter examines how the addressing - apostrophizing - of Kurdistan, in and by the Amna Suraka museum in the city of Sulaymaniyah, institutionalizes "official" and highly politicized versions of the past. |
