Carter, "Sharing Milk: Intimacy, Materiality and Bio-Communities of Practice " English | ISBN: 1529202086 | 2020 | 232 pages | PDF | 18 MB The feeding of human milk to socially and biologically unrelated infants is not a new phenomenon, but the Euroamerican values of individualism have generated expectations that mothers are individually responsible for feeding their own infants. Using a bio-communities of practice framework, this dynamic new analysis explores the emotional and material dimensions of the growing milk sharing practice in the Global North and its implications for contemporary understandings of infant feeding in the US. Ranging widely across themes of motherhood, gender and sociology, this is a compelling empirical account of infant feeding that stimulates new thinking about a contentious practice. ![]() Free Download Rachel Brooks, "Sharing Care: Equal and Primary Carer Fathers and Early Years Parenting " English | ISBN: 1529205964 | 2020 | 230 pages | PDF | 12 MB Drawing on detailed qualitative research, this timely study explores the experiences of fathers who take on equal or primary care responsibilities for young children. ![]() Free Download Shareholder Value und die Kriterien des Unternehmenserfolgs By Peter Koslowski (auth.), Professor Dr. Peter Koslowski (eds.) 1999 | 261 Pages | ISBN: 3790811793 | PDF | 15 MB Ist die Maximierung des Shareholder Value oder der Kapitalrendite der Unternehmenseigner das entscheidende Kriterium des Unternehmenserfolgs und wie verhält es sich zu den anderen Kriterien des Erfolgs des Unternehmens wie Beschäftigung, Konsumentenbefriedigung, etc.?

Robert Sutter shows that although it appears to be in U.S. interests for post-Mao leaders to continue moving toward international norms, a post-Deng leadership backed by growing economic and military power and reflecting profound changes in China's economy and society could move in markedly different directions. Most foreign powers appear willing to accommodate China, avoiding actions that could prompt a sharp shift in Chinese foreign policy, but Sutter argues that current U.S. policy intrudes on so many issues that are particularly sensitive for Beijing and for China's future that it represents perhaps the most critical variable determining how China will position itself in world affairs. Concluding that there is no guarantee the United States will use this influence wisely, Sutter examines the uncertainty and unpredictability of U.S. foreign policy in the post-Cold War environment that work against the creation of an effective U.S. policy toward China. ![]() Free Download Liz Frost, "Shame and Social Work: Theory, Reflexivity and Practice" English | ISBN: 1447344065 | 2020 | 218 pages | PDF | 5 MB For many service users and professionals in the field of social work, shame is an ongoing part of their daily experience.

Charting high profile events and everyday activities, it covers government's approaches towards political, strategic and operational situations, looking also at traditions of public service and freedom under the law. Centrally the book discusses the relationship between civil servants and ministers; also with judges, magistrates and criminal justice services across a 30-year time frame (from the late-1950s to the early-1990s). It includes an explanation of the author's understanding of a civil servant's duty as a servant of the Crown, historically and in a world where public services have become increasingly subject to political intervention. The book is illustrated by examples of the interaction between political and professional points of view, covering situations familiar to the police, courts and correctional services. Equally it will be of interest to students of government, especially those concerned with how policy is formulated in answer to the immediacy of political events or the continuum of knowledge and experiences of civil servants (whichever administration is in power).

He was appointed CB in 1985. ![]() Free Download Annemarie Peen Rodt, Stefan Wolff, "Self-Determination after Kosovo" English | 2015 | ISBN: 1138057282, 1138851272 | EPUB | pages: 172 | 0.3 mb Kosovo embodies a key moment in the international practice of dealing with secessionist self-determination conflicts. For the first time, outside of the colonial context, and excepting Bangladesh in 1971, an entity's declaration of independence has been widely, albeit not universally, recognised. As such, the case of Kosovo has sharpened the focus and intensified the debate on the issue of self-determination conflicts and how they are managed by the international community. This volume contributes to this debate by examining Kosovo in historical and contemporary comparative perspective and by reflecting on the legal, ethical and political implications of its successful declaration of independence. ![]() Free Download Michael F Noone Jr, "Selective Conscientious Objection: Accommodating Conscience And Security" English | 2019 | ISBN: 0367287021 | EPUB | pages: 160 | 0.3 mb Demographic trends indicate that, if the size of our nation's military forces is to be maintained through the 1990s, a larger proportion of the declining number of eligible young men and women must be recruited and retained. Some experts have suggested that it may be necessary to return to conscription in order to achieve the necessary force levels. However, the pool of young people, on whom the military must rely, have had the unprecedented experience of having been exhorted for most of their lives to conscientiously question the use of armed force. Our political and moral systems are in conflict over their right to refuse military service. Ninety-four percent of Americans believe in God and seventy percent attend a church or synagogue. 1 Their religious leaders insist on the individual's obligation to selectively object to the use of military force and urge that the law be changed to protect selective objectors. At present, the legal system recognizes only the conscientious objection claims of complete pacifists, who need not be religiously motivated. ![]() Free Download Joyce Badgley Hunsaker, "Seeing the Elephant: Voices from the Oregon Trail" English | 2003 | pages: 279 | ISBN: 0896725049 | PDF | 0,9 mb "The target audience for this book is middle and high school students. However, its information will appeals to a far broader audience. . . . .A useful introduction to trail travel and associated incidents."-Journal of the West"[A] little gem of a book."-Overland JournalTheirs has been called America's single largest voluntary, historical migration. From the late 1830's to the mid-1870's-a span of just over forty years-nearly half a million ordinary folk left farms and families, friends, and all that was familiar and turned their faces west to Oregon, to California, to the valley of the Great Salt Lake, and to the gold fields of Montana. All "saw the elephant" along the Oregon Trail.Whether viewed from the perspective of Manifest Destiny or through the vision-dreams of tribal elders, this mass overland migration to the "Land of Milk and Honey" forever changed our nation and forever altered the way Americans saw themselves. The clash of cultures and beliefs that followed left its mark upon the American spirit as indelibly as the Oregon Trail rutted the land over which it crossed.Seeing the Elephant lets the people of the Trail speak for themselves and their times. Drawn from first-hand accounts in diaries, journals, and letters and interpreted by the author of the much acclaimed Sacagawea Speaks, their voices ring true. From Narcissa Whitman, who made an amazing trek into the unknown in 1836, through Lucy Alice Ide, who proclaimed her own modern passage in 1878, each voice of Seeing the Elephant is infused with character and instruction-and the immediacy that comes only from living history.Seeing the Elephant leaps from our nation's historic archives into the imagination. Timelines, maps, photographs, and historical illustrations enable readers young and old to trace Trail migration chronologically and geographically. |
