Raising the Floor

Raising the Floor

Shanna Rose

THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO PRESS
2026
sidottu
A rich history of the development of American minimum wage policy with lessons for today. Despite broad popular support for robust minimum wage policy, the federal minimum wage is now worth less—in real, inflation-adjusted terms—than at any time since 1949. While some state and local governments have stepped in to fill this void, others have declined to set any minimum wage standard at all. Traversing more than 100 years of history, Raising the Floor examines how interest groups have navigated the highly decentralized American political system to shape the development of federal, state, and local minimum wage laws. In her analysis, Shanna Rose highlights the importance of American federalism. She argues that because federalism creates multiple arenas for policy change, interest groups have sought out the sites most conducive to their goals, shifting their lobbying efforts as new obstacles and opportunities emerge. Federalism has facilitated minimum wage policymaking by fostering policy experimentation, learning, and diffusion across states and by allowing state and local governments to overcome gridlock and status-quo biases at the national level. Yet, federalism has also been an instrument for containment, enabling those opposed to minimum wage increases to litigate and preempt local-level laws. With rich historical chapters that illuminate different phases in the development of today’s patchwork of wage standards, Raising the Floor is a deep examination of the past, present, and future of American minimum wage law.

Everything's bigger in Texas--including romance, magic, and danger Katie Chandler has fled fast-paced Manhattan and returned home to a simpler life, working at her family's feed-and-seed store in Cobb, Texas. In a painfully selfless gesture, Katie had left the sexy wizard Owen Palmer to battle his demons in the magical realm-after all, Katie just seemed to attract evil, which only made Owen's job a lot harder. But now it seems that trouble has followed her home: Despite the fact that Merlin, Katie's old boss at Magic, Spells, and Illusions, Inc., has assured her that Cobb is free of enchantmen, (magically speaking), Katie begins to notice curious phenomena. Cobb is being plagued by a series of inexplicable petty crimes and other devilish mischief, and after her experiences in Manhattan, Katie knows "unauthorized magic" when she sees it. As this new darkness strikes deep in the heart of Texas, Owen appears (literally) to investigate. Now Katie's friends and family must show the bad guys why it's bad luck to hex with Texas, while Katie and Owen combine their strengths like never before to uncover a sinister plot before evil takes root in the Lone Star State.

Wealth Creation

Wealth Creation

Shanna E. Ratner

Routledge
2019
sidottu
A new approach to rural development is emerging. Instead of being about attracting companies that might create jobs over which communities have no control, the emerging paradigm is about connecting the unique underutilized assets of place with market opportunity to grow assets that are owned and controlled by and for the benefit of low-wealth people and places. But asset development is about more than bricks and mortar or narrowly defined financial assets. There are many kinds of assets that communities require to thrive – such as social capital, natural capital, political capital, and intellectual capital. The emerging new approach to rural development is, then about broadening the definition of "wealth," engaging underutilized assets, and a key third element: harnessing the power of the market – rather than relying solely on philanthropy and government. Wealth Creation provides a conceptual guide with practical examples for policymakers, practitioners of economic and community development, community organizers, environmentalists, funders, investors, and corporations seeking a values-based framework for identifying self-interests across sectors that can lead to opportunities to transform existing systems for the collective good.

Financing Medicaid

Financing Medicaid

Conventional wisdom holds that programs for the poor are vulnerable to instability and retrenchment. Medicaid, however, has grown into the nation’s largest intergovernmental grant program, accounting for nearly half of all federal funding to state and local governments. Medicaid’s generous open-ended federal matching grants have given governors a powerful incentive to mobilize on behalf of its maintenance and expansion, using methods ranging from lobbying and negotiation to creative financing mechanisms and waivers to maximize federal financial assistance. Perceiving federal retrenchment efforts as a threat to states’ finances, governors, through the powerful National Governors’ Association, have repeatedly worked together in bipartisan fashion to defend the program against cutbacks.Financing Medicaid engagingly intertwines theory, historical narrative, and case studies, drawing on sources including archival materials from the National Governors’ Association and gubernatorial and presidential libraries, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services data, the Congressional Record, and interviews.

Gabriella Franklin is a born leader and a resilient woman who rebukes conformity and dances to the beat of her own song. In spite of humble beginnings and her strong stances, she has managed to achieve success by all social standards. She's checked all the socially required blocks of womanhood, has a list of superlatives and certificates a country mile long, secured a corner office in the heart of Washington, D.C., and schmoozes with some of high society's most powerful and elite. To all her friends, Gabriella's world is perfect. In spite of all she has managed to achieve on her own terms, she feels trapped in a restrained identity and longs to be free. Gabriella's journey to freedom is interrupted when she meets Dasht D. Spelbender, a powerful attorney and suave Southern gentleman by all definitions. Dasht, a self-made man who in some ways marches along with the band of social conformity and at other time robustly rebels, literally takes her world by storm. The two of them embark upon a journey with Gabriella throwing all caution to the wind and opening up to find a freedom she has never known, only to have it snatched away with no alarm signaling the approaching storm.

Awakening to the Sacred Love of the Twin Flame

Awakening to the Sacred Love of the Twin Flame

Shanna MacLean

Shanna MacLean

nidottu
Each of us has a Twin Flame, the exact being with whom we were created at the thrilling Moment of Creation, when God expanded Itself and created from that Self a new being. God then divided that being into Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine. This template of masculine and feminine can be seen throughout all Earth life. The expansion from the ALL THAT IS came from God's strong desire to extend Love through its Creations (on Earth, for example) and have a way to know and observe Itself by living through us. This Twin is the other half of yourself, with whom you share the most exquisite Love and Oneness possible -- which you will know when you unite with that divine one...AWAKENING opens with a series of transcendent experiences in which the author, Shanna, makes contact with her Twin Flame during her meditations. Her unique and intimate sharing of their meetings and travels shows us many facets of this supreme Love. Pra, her Twin, is not in physical embodiment on Earth, but rather resides in higher vibrational consciousness. They meet somewhere between Earth and the Higher Realms.In the second section, we are led through a series of powerful excerpts of "Messages from God," channeled by Yael Hana Powell, in which the essence and purpose of the Twin Flame is explained. We are told that the coming together of Twin Flames at this time can create an amplification of Love that can completely shift life on our struggling planet to Love and only Love. In the third section, Shanna's beloved Twin Flame, Pra, answers questions, giving detailed suggestions on how to make contact with one's Twin, including bringing your Twin through the person you are currently with. The other-worldliness and loving atmosphere of this book will uplift you and perhaps open you to the possibility of finding Love with your own Twin Flame, the other half of your being.

In her second collection, Shanna Compton leads readers on a lightly satirical tour through various works of advice for young women, including antique etiquette manuals, pseudoscientific physiology textbooks, 19th-century sermons, contemporary newspaper clippings, and Internet chatter. Counseling girls on everything from fashion to family, the multiple personae in FOR GIRLS (& OTHERS) clamor to convey their contradictory (and often ridiculous) wisdom as their polyvocal cacophony pitches toward hysterical heights.

Trust and Fear in Civil Wars

Trust and Fear in Civil Wars

Shanna Kirschner

Lexington Books
2014
sidottu
Why do some civil wars last a long time, while others end relatively quickly? Trust and Fear in Civil Wars examines the conditions under which individuals are willing to lay down their weapons under a settlement agreement. The author argues that wars are easiest to resolve when combatants believe that their adversaries will uphold a deal or that the costs of renewed war will be low. Several key sources of information inform this calculation. Drawing on both cross-national and case study data, including detailed interviews, the book demonstrates that when information suggests either that a peace agreement is likely to break down or that the results of a broken deal will be especially deadly, a settlement leaves combatants too vulnerable to countenance, resulting in wars lasting longer.
