Employment Law - David Cabrelli
Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring In today''s society, work takes up a vast proportion of the time and energy of ordinary people. Although use of the phrase ''work-life balance'' is now commonplace in the media and ordinary conversation, people work longer hours than ever before. However, rather than purely a means to an end in terms of supporting oneself financially, the workplace is a place to develop skills and talents and build lasting friendships. For these reasons, people want to know about their rights in the workplace. Issues of equal pay, discrimination, discharge/dismissal, and redundancy are prevalent within the media, and there is a growing public appetite for knowledge of the law governing the employment relationship. This Very Short Introduction provides an overview of the main kinds of employment rights and labour laws found in many countries. It unpicks and evaluates some of the assumptions underpinning contemporary attitudes to such rights and laws in order to measure whether they are warranted. Throughout it also considers the economic, political, sociological, and social justifications for employment rights and laws.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.

Cry for Me, Argentina - Tamara Yajia
Beautiful Country meets I’m Glad My Mom Died in this hilarious, moving memoir by Argentine-American comedian Tamara Yajia about growing up between two worlds as an immigrant.From the day she was born, Tamara Yajia entered the world on a wave of absurdity. She was the newest member of a family no one would call normal, from her grandfather the salami obsessed poppers salesman, to her mother, the OnlyFans model. Not only is her family the type of people who’ll try anything once, like moving to the United States and becoming the owners of a food stand named “Sexy Chicken,†but they’ll try anything multiple times, like moving back to Argentina, then back to the United States, all while Tamara manages to achieve some success as a pre-teen child actress after a jaw dropping performance where she strips down to a garter belt in front of a crowd of rabbis. The road doesn’t get easier for a 12-year-old Argentinian Jew trying to make it big in Orange County. The disappointment of giving up her childhood career as a performer makes for a rather tumultuous coming of age. But through grit, hustle, and a series of creative endeavors like joining a girl ...

Tamara Drewe - Posy Simmonds
Winner of the Grand Prix 2009 de la Critique Bande Dessinée.Tamara Drewe has transformed herself. Plastic surgery, a different wardrobe, a smouldering look, have given her confidence and a new and thrilling power to attract, which she uses recklessly. Often just for the fun of it.People are drawn to Tamara Drewe, male and female. In the remote village where her late mother lived Tamara arrives to clear up the house. Here she becomes an object of lust, of envy, the focus of unrequited love, a seductress. To the village teenagers she is ''plastic-fantastic'', a role model. Ultimately, when her hot and indiscriminate glances lead to tragedy, she is seen as a man-eater, a heartless home-wrecker, a slut.First appearing as a serial in the Guardian, in book form Tamara Drewe has been enlarged, embellished and lovingly improved by the author.

The Painted House of Maud Lewis - Laurie Hamilton
For many years, Maud Lewis was one of Nova Scotia''s best-loved folk painters. In the 1990s she was embraced by the rest of the country when the landmark exhibition of her work The Illuminated Life of Maud Lewis travelled across Canada. By the time the tour was over, half a million people had become acquainted with her delightful work. Between 1938, when she married Everett Lewis, until her death in 1970, Maud Lewis lived in a tiny one-room house near Digby, Nova Scotia. Over the years, she painted the doors inside and out, the windowpanes, the walls and cupboards, the wallpaper, the little staircase to the sleeping loft, the woodstove, the breadbox, the dustpan, almost everything her hand touched. Her house was a joy to behold, and it became a magnet for tourists as well as a focal point in her village. In 1979, after Everett Lewis died, the Maud Lewis Painted House Society worked diligently to raise funds to acquire, preserve, and display the house as part of the cultural heritage of the area as well as a memorial to their beloved artist. In 1984, the house and its contents were purchased by the Province of Nova Scotia for ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Bolest si věk nevybírá - Tamara Petkevičová
Může se čtenář v 21. století po kanonických dílech Solženicyna, Ginzburgové a Šalamova dozvědět o stalinských lágrech vůbec ještě něco nového? Kniha herečky a teatroložky Tamary Petkevičové klasikům lágrové prózy směle konkuruje. Angažovaný dokumentarismus Solženicynova Souostroví gulag či skeptický naturalismus Šalamovových Kolymských povídek doplňuje o vypjatý emoční náboj a z pekla gulagu přináší všemu navzdory letmý úsměv. Osud petrohradské rodačky Tamary Petkevičové, která v nesvobodě, v táborovém divadelním souboru, našla svou celoživotní profesi, je vpravdě románový - plný nečekaných zápletek a zvratů, zrady těch nejbližších, ale i pomoci cizích. Petkevičová jej ve své vzpomínkové próze představuje s neobyčejným citem pro detail a pointu. Její kniha nevypráví jen o táborových hrůzách a fungování toho zrůdného mechanismu, ale především o tom, jak se totalitní stát dokáže zcela a nelítostně zmocnit života nevinného člověka a jak mu jednou provždy vypálí svůj nesmazatelný cejch. Je to však také naléhavé svědectví o nekompromisním odmítnutí jakékoli diktatury.

The story of "natural law" - the idea that God has written a law on the human heart so that ethical norms derive from human nature - in twentieth-century Protestant ethics is one of rejection and resurgence. For half a century, luminaries like Karl Barth, Carl F. H. Henry, and Cornelius Van Til cast a shadow over natural law moral reflection because of its putative link to natural theology, autonomous reason, associations with Catholic theology, and ethical witness devoid of special revelation. However, over the past twenty years, Protestant theologians have renewed their interest in the subject, often animated by debates on Christian involvement in the public arena and on matters of life, death, and gender and sexuality. Much of this engagement has happened within Reformed circles and has largely been conducted without reference to Roman Catholic construals of the natural law. Conversely, Catholic developments in natural-law thinking have paid little attention to the surge of interest on the Protestant side. As a result, Protestant and Catholic natural proponents - and even those skeptical of the natural law - are not in conversation with one another.The lack of dialog between the various schools of natural law has left a historic ...

Moje vítězství nad autismem - Tamara Morarová
Když byly Paulovi čtyři roky, dozvěděli se jeho rodiče od lékařů, že je postižen autismem. Po prvotním šoku se Tamara Morar odmítla smířit s tím, že jejímu synovi údajně není pomoci, s pesimismem lékařů a se vzdělávacím systémem, v němž pro Paula není místo. Začala si shánět informace a na základě metody vypracované zkušenou terapeutkou věnovala veškerý svůj čas a energii pokusu "dostat svého syna zpátky". Začátky jsou krušné - ze všeho nejdřív se jí totiž musí podařit vůbec nějak upoutat jeho pozornost. Ve své knize, kterou, jak sama říká, napsala "jako rodič pro rodiče", popisuje trnitou a dlouhou cestu, kterou absolvovala se svým synem, jenž dnes chodí do normální školy a v mnoha aspektech se autistických rysů zcela zbavil. Tamara Morar netvrdí, že nalezla "zázračný prostředek" na autismus nebo že její metoda funguje u všech takto postižených dětí stejně. Chce jen rodičům, kteří mají podobné starosti jako ona, vylíčit své osobní zkušenosti a úspěchy a dodat jim trochu odvahy a naděje.

The Playdate - Tamara R. Mose
A playdate is an organized meeting where parents come together with their children at a public or private location to interact socially or "play." Children no longer simply "go out and play," rather, play is arranged, scheduled, and parentally-approved and supervised. How do these playdates happen? Who gets asked and who doesn't? What is acceptable play behavior? In The Playdate, Tamara R. Mose focuses on the parents of young children in New York City to explore how the shift from spontaneous and child-directed play to managed and adult-arranged playdates reveals the structures of modern parenting and the new realities of childhood. Mose argues that with the rise of moral panics surrounding child abuse, pedophilia, and fears about safety in the city, as well as helicopter parenting, and over-scheduling, the playdate has emerged as not just a necessity in terms of security and scheduling, but as the very hallmark of good parenting. Based on interviews with parents, teachers, childcare directors, and nannies from Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Long Island, the book provides a first-hand account of the strategies used by middle-class parents of young children to navigate social relationships—their own and those of their children. Mose shows how parents use playdates ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Philosophical Manuscripts - David Lewis-Williams
David Lewis (1941-2001) was a celebrated and influential figure in analytic philosophy. When Lewis died, he left behind a large body of unpublished notes, manuscripts, and letters. This volume contains two longer manuscripts which Lewis had originally intended to turn into books, and thirty-one shorter items. The longer manuscripts are ''The Paradoxes of Time Travel'', his David Gavin Young Lectures at the University of Adelaide, and ''Confirmation Theory'', which is based on a graduate course on probability and logic that he gave at UCLA. Lewis''s described his purposes in ''The Paradoxes of Time Travel'' as being, `(1) to solve a philosophical problem hitherto largely ignored or casually mis-solved by philosophers […]; (2) to introduce the layman to various topics in metaphysics, since our problem turns out to connect with many more familiar ones; and (3) to show of several of my favorite doctrines and methods in metaphysics''. By contrast, ''Confirmation Theory'' is a technical work in which Lewis aimed to present in a unified fashion what he considered to be the best from competing theories of confirmation. Lewis described the work as ''Mathematically self-contained, with proofs for the major theorems; but the mathematics is kept down to hairy high-school algebra''. ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Vademecum of International Law - Mach Tomáš
Vademecum of International law, as the label of this textbook indicates, is a brief handbook of public international law. The objective of this textbook is to provide its readers with a coherent introduction into the study of public international law. This textbook therefore explains the main concepts and institutions of public international law. In doing so, where appropriate, the text takes into consideration historic origins and development of the respective institutions of public international law, as well as the historic development of public international law as a whole. This textbook also deliberately includes extensive quotations of both primary texts (such as court decisions or texts of international treaties) as well as thoughts of influential writers in the respective fields of public international law. The resort to extensive quotations should provide the reader with first hand resources without the (always subjective) deformation of the respective source via paraphrasing. This textbook is not intended to serve as an all-encompassing textbook or encyclopedia. After all, for that it would be too short in the first place. The objective here is to provide the reader with a basic introduction into the key areas of public international law, foundations upon which one can built further ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The Curious Life of the Cuckoo - John Lewis-Stempel
The perfect gift for nature lovers, in this beautifully illustrated small format hardback, John Lewis-Stempel delves into the cuckoo's unique behaviour and captivating role in our cultural imagination, in folklore, myth, literature and music, turning his exquisite prose to one of the strangest tales of the countryside. ---Is there any bird more mysterious than the cuckoo?It is invariably heard, and not seen. And if seen, it is mistaken for a sharp-winged hawk. The female cuckoo - by a trick that borders on alchemy - is able to disguise its egg as another's. In Greek myth the god Zeus assumed the form of a cuckoo to seduce Hera. But we forgive the cuckoo its con-artistry, because it is the true herald of spring. It is the bird that uplifts our wintered hearts, with that first two-note 'cuk-koo' unmistakable as it sounds across the country. In The Curious Life of the Cuckoo, John Lewis-Stempel explains one of nature's greatest enigmas in vivid, lyrical prose, and celebrates this iconic bird. ---‘That John Lewis-Stempel is one of the best nature writers of his generation is undisputed.’ – Country Life‘His immense, patient powers of observation – along with a flair for the anthropomorphic – mean ...
