The Chicano Worker is an incisive analysis of the labor-market experiences of Mexican American workers in the late twentieth century. The authors—each established in the fields of labor economics and research on Chicano workers—describe the major employment patterns of the Chicano labor force and discuss the historical and institutional factors determining these patterns. This work speaks to the continuing widespread public interest in Mexican immigration, migrant farm labor, unionization of farm workers, Chicano education and training needs, and the legacy of discriminatory treatment against Chicanos. The authors treat the convergence of these issues and their public policy implications.Drawing from census data as well as other sources, The Chicano Worker reports on Chicano unemployment, labor-force participation, occupational and industrial distributions of employment, and various indices of earnings. It also deals with such issues as history, family size, health, and culture. The Chicano Worker is likely to open new areas of interest, discussion, and criticism concerning Chicanos in the United States.
Humans have become much taller and heavier, and experience healthier and longer lives than ever before in human history. However it is only recently that historians, economists, human biologists and demographers have linked the changing size, shape and capability of the human body to economic and demographic change. This fascinating and groundbreaking book presents an accessible introduction to the field of anthropometric history, surveying the causes and consequences of changes in health and mortality, diet and the disease environment in Europe and the United States since 1700. It examines how we define and measure health and nutrition as well as key issues such as whether increased longevity contributes to greater productivity or, instead, imposes burdens on society through the higher costs of healthcare and pensions. The result is a major contribution to economic and social history with important implications for today's developing world and the health trends of the future.

"There is a pulse of all life being awakened in each one of us. We are holy carriers of the Divine Feminine, and She is here, now, whispering into the recesses of our sacred hearts..."-Jacqueline L. RobinsonThe vision of this collection aims to explore all aspects of the authentic integrity of the Divine Feminine, and the "swinging to the opposite extreme" mentalities and actions that have emerged as the Divine Feminine grows in acknowledgement and reclaims Her equal place on Earth, as it should have been all along.Many have gone to the extreme of taking back the Divine Feminine power by becoming practically anti-masculine and basically feminine versions of the exact male-centered control and domination that is attempting to be balanced in these times. This is completely normal, as many things in our lives swing to the opposites in order to break free of a system or habit, and then eventually swing back to the center middleground where balance and equality exist.Written entirely by female authors for women and men both, this book hopes to assist in finding that center balance, fanning the flame of equality and understanding, in the light of love and compassion.

Leading a generationally diverse workforce is challenging; this book provides a reader's guide of best-in-class strategies for harnessing and unleashing its potential.Gentelligence: The Revolutionary Approach to Leading an Intergenerational Workforce presents a transformative way to end the generational wars once and for all. This book first introduces Gentelligence as a powerful business strategy and shows why it is critical for the future of work. It then presents a practical guide and a call to action for leaders of all ages to unlock the potential strengths of each generation. Readers will learn how an intergenerational workforce can be reframed as a profound business opportunity and discover how Gentelligence can help them win the talent war, create strong, diverse teams, and build adaptable cultures that will flourish in an era of rapid change.Gentelligence shares groundbreaking evidence that will have readers thinking about their generationally diverse workforce in an entirely different way. Readers will discover:Where generational conflict originates, and how it results in both dangerous ageism and reverse ageism in today’s workplaces.Why the generation gap stems from a misunderstanding of shared core values across all generations. How to find essential common ground with colleagues, both older and younger, and recognize the unique needs that come with different generational identities. How generational shaming leads us to view those from other generations as competitors rather than collaborators, further damaging employee engagement, team dynamics, innovation, and organizational culture. How leveraging the unique strengths of each generation at work can lead to a win-win outcome for all. How traditional views on leadership have been turned upside down as a result of new generational dynamics, with many employees currently being led by managers that are younger than themselves, and older leaders struggling to make sense of changing norms around authority and power. Gentelligence reveals the opportunities within an intergenerational workforce and provides actionable tools to help leaders build Gentelligent organizations. Unlike other books on generational leadership, this book rejects common stereotypes assigned to different generations, replacing them with a deep understanding of why those who grew up in different times may behave in unique and valuable, ways. We challenge leaders to go beyond simply accepting generational differences to leverage them proactively to increase engagement, innovation, and organizational success.
No pleasure lasts long unless there is variety in it. Publilius Syrus, Moral Sayings We've been very fortunate to receive fantastic feedback from our readers during the last four years, since the first edition of How to Solve It: Modern Heuristics was published in 1999. It's heartening to know that so many people appreciated the book and, even more importantly, were using the book to help them solve their problems. One professor, who published a review of the book, said that his students had given the best course reviews he'd seen in 15 years when using our text. There can be hardly any better praise, except to add that one of the book reviews published in a SIAM journal received the best review award as well. We greatly appreciate your kind words and personal comments that you sent, including the few cases where you found some typographical or other errors. Thank you all for this wonderful support.

Hundavel är ett fascinerande ämne som spänner över ett stort och föränderligt kunskapsområde. Den genetiska forskningen går framåt i rask takt och nya verktyg och metoder för avelsarbetet tillkommer kontinuerligt. Hundavel i teori och praktik vänder sig i första hand till dig som föder upp hundar eller äger en avelshane, men även till dig som är intresserad av att lära dig mer om avel och genetik. Boken innehåller bland annat grundläggande genetik, nedärvning, DNAtester och skattning av avelsvärden. Exempel på kapitel från boken är: "Från förälder till avkomma - hur egenskaper ärvs", "Släktskap och inavel", "Genetiska tester i avelsarbetet" och "Avel med sikte på mentalitet och funktion". Boken fokuserar även på praktiska råd för att underlätta avelsarbetet för bättre hälsa och funktion hos våra hundar. Boken behandlar inte de mer praktiska delarna av uppfödningen, som parning, dräktighet, valpning och de första veckorna i valplådan. Här handlar det i stället om det långsiktiga avelsarbetet för hundens och hundrasens bästa och på de steg du som uppfödare tar innan själva parningsbeslutet fattas. Oavsett om du står inför att ta din första valpkull, eller har fött upp hundar under många år, erbjuder boken intressant läsning och bidrar till att ge dig som uppfödare goda möjligheter till ett lyckat avelsresultat, många år framöver.
In this book the authors present a unique synthesis of materials that evolved from the World Conference on Innovative Higher Education, which brought together the heads of universities from over thirty countries, along with other prominent men and women concerned with higher education, to share information on education innovation and change. Much more than simply a conference report, the book addresses the fundamental issues of change in higher education and how change works and where it is leading and looks at the ways in which innovations meet changing needs.
