Scorched Earth

Scorched Earth

Kathleen S. McFall; Clark D. Hays

Pumpjack Press
2021
nidottu
A MURDER ON MARS LEADS TO HELL ON EARTHThe year is 2188 and the Earth-long-ago abandoned for Mars by the plutocrats-is scorched by poverty, disease and environmental collapse. Meanwhile, the red planet is a flourishing playground for the Five Families who, thanks to Halo-an advanced AI-control everything and everyone on Earth, including Crucial Larsen, a disillusioned labor cop. The wealthy elite of Mars don't know that on his last trip up-universe, Crucial stumbled onto a secret that could destroy them. Yet, despite fervent pleas from his sister (a leader in the resistance), Crucial believes fighting back against the Five Families is a fool's game destined for failure-or worse. Plus, he never wants to set foot on that damn planet again. Then Melinda, his long-lost love and a staff scientist on Mars, begs for his help clearing her fianc e of a murder charge. Crucial jumps on the next quantum rocket, hoping maybe this time he can patch things up with Mel. His investigation ultimately leads back to Earth's radiation-blasted sunbelt, where cannibal lizard-people-a climate change mitigation genetic experiment gone terribly wrong-hold the key to a different future, if only Crucial can stay alive long enough to unlock it. Blending science-fiction with a classic, hard-boiled detective story, Scorched Earth is the second book in The Halo Trilogy, an irreverent series set on post-colonial Mars, and the ninth novel by Clark Hays and Kathleen McFall.

THE ONLY PERSON LEFT ALIVE WHO CAN SAVE MARS AND EARTH HAS VANISHED The year is (still) 2188 and Crucial Larsen is officially done with Mars. Just as he's set to head back to his beloved Earth, meteors crash into the orbital platforms, ravage the luxury domes and knock Halo--the powerful AI running both Mars and Earth offline. And this is no random cosmic event. A mysterious invading force can redirect space rocks at will and intends to level the Five Families. The invaders' first act? Put a bounty on missing Staff Scientist Melinda Hopwire, Crucial's ex-lover--the only person who can find the back-up servers and introduce the empathy hack, the endgame of the beleaguered Resistance. Crucial has to fight and claw his way across the deadly Choke on the red planet armed with only a glue gun, some expired maple rum and Sanders, a malfunctioning cybanism, to find Mel and her synthetic perma-kitten Wisp. If he fails, it's the end for both planets. Blending science-fiction with a classic hard-boiled detective story, Mars Adrift is the final book in The Halo Trilogy, an inter-planetary mystery and a searing critique of the contemporary billionaire quest for Mars. This is the tenth book by Clark Hays and Kathleen McFall.

What Burden Do Those Trains Bear Away: A Memoir in Poems

What Burden Do Those Trains Bear Away: A Memoir in Poems

Kathleen S. Burgess

Bottom Dog Press
2018
nidottu
In 1971-72, Kathleen Burgess hitchhiked through Mexico, Central and South America with a lover. These poems tell the story. They are hip, astute, sumptuous, simultaneously accessible and cultured, their hint of the classical journey spun with the unique dangers a woman faces on the road, which couldn�t be more timely given recent issues of sexual abuse. Her lyric poems sing of the trek, of love, of time, place, and sensibility. Readers can identify with a young, nubile, daring young woman, indignant about injustice, hungry for the lilt of another language, new foods, and a culture so close yet so far away. The experience transcends the vicarious, in poems so lush, your body slides right in, and wither it goes, the mind and heart follow. Her poems, Chekhovian in their toggle between humor and struggle hardship and sensory opulence, revivify memories. It is no accident, in terms of the gist of the collection, that laughter at times averts tragedy. ↵-Charlene Fix, author of Taking a Walk in My Animal Hat: Poems === Kathleen S. Burgess fashions the world of a couple hitchhiking from the United States into Mexico and then into South America: �From the mirage of puddle and sky, / a black Cadillac emerges. Pulls to the berm, / blows up a storm cloud of grit and sting.� Burgess�s poems delight and entertain and remind us of who we are as they herald a respect for the Journey. Hers is a book whose success comes in letting us ride shotgun on a bona fide adventure, one in which �Breezes spray us / in rainbows, rainbows dispersing the heat, the sting of home.� �Roy Bentley, author of Walking with Eve in the Loved City

Plastik als Rechtsproblem

Plastik als Rechtsproblem

Kathleen S. Feurich

Mohr Siebeck
2020

Plastikabfall stellt für Menschen, Tiere und Klima eine der größten ökologischen Herausforderungen der Gegenwart dar. Effektive rechtliche Steuerungsinstrumente sind unverzichtbar zur Vermeidung von Plastikabfall. Kathleen S. Feurich untersucht bisherige und mögliche zusätzliche Instrumente zum Umgang mit Plastikmüll im Mehrebenensystem. Behandelt werden aktuelle Themen wie zum Beispiel eine mögliche internationale Plastik-Konvention, die EU-Richtlinie zur Verringerung der Auswirkungen bestimmter Kunststoffprodukte auf die Umwelt, ein nationales Plastiktütenverbot, eine kommunale Verpackungsteuer und Initiativen bezüglich Coffee-to-go-Becher. Sie entwickelt Regulierungsvorschläge zur besseren Reduktion von Plastikabfall und erarbeitet einen differenzierten, gestuften Maßnahmenkatalog (Instrumentenverbund) im Mehrebenensystem. Die Arbeit wurde 2021 mit dem 1. Preis des Umweltpreises der Gesellschaft für Umweltrecht (GfU) ausgezeichnet.

The Politics of Trash

The Politics of Trash

Patricia Strach; Kathleen S. Sullivan

CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
2023
sidottu
The Politics of Trash explains how municipal trash collection solved odorous urban problems using nongovernmental and often unseemly means. Focusing on the persistent problems of filth and the frustration of generations of reformers unable to clean their cities, Patricia Strach and Kathleen S. Sullivan tell a story of dirty politics and administrative innovation that made rapidly expanding American cities livable. The solutions that professionals recommended to rid cities of overflowing waste cans, litter-filled privies, and animal carcasses were largely ignored by city governments. When the efforts of sanitarians, engineers, and reformers failed, public officials turned to the habits and tools of corruption as well as to gender and racial hierarchies. Corruption often provided the political will for public officials to establish garbage collection programs. Effective waste collection involves translating municipal imperatives into new habits and arrangements in homes and other private spaces. To change domestic habits, officials relied on gender hierarchy to make the women of the white, middle-class households in charge of sanitation. When public and private trash cans overflowed, racial and ethnic prejudices were harnessed to single out scavengers, garbage collectors, and neighborhoods by race. These early informal efforts were slowly incorporated into formal administrative processes that created the public-private sanitation systems that prevail in most American cities today. The Politics of Trash locates these hidden resources of governments to challenge presumptions about the formal mechanisms of governing and recovers the presence of residents at the margins, whose experiences can be as overlooked as garbage collection itself. This consideration of municipal garbage collection reveals how political development often relies on undemocratic means with long-term implications for further inequality. Focusing on the resources that cleaned American cities also shows the tenuous connection between political development and modernization.

Toward More Family-Centered Family Sciences

Toward More Family-Centered Family Sciences

Howard M. Bahr; Kathleen S. Bahr

Lexington Books
2009
sidottu
Much academic writing on families reflects the ideal of non-involvement and distanced subject matter. Toward More Family-Centered Family Sciences suggests that the family sciences, in their effort to be scientific, have perpetuated this distance between researcher and subject, to the detriment of both. The authors argue that family and kinship ties are transcendent ties, boundary-crossing in numerous ways. They place an emphasis on family love, in contrast and in addition to romantic love, and criticize current approaches for neglecting the importance of transcendent concepts such as love, commitment, respect, and sacrifice in the development and well being of family structures. Drawing from insights both inside and outside of academia, the authors seek to reincorporate transcendent concepts into the study of the family as a unit of society. They argue for a more collaborative, family-centered family science and offer recommendations for how family researchers might work to change the scientific monologue about families to a systemic dialogue with families.

The Business Model: Using the Language of Work to Organize and Align Work

The Business Model: Using the Language of Work to Organize and Align Work

Danny G. Langdon; Kathleen S. Langdon

Performance International
2018

Langdon is a systems kind of guy who hates meetings, isn't fond of working, and can't stand work stupidity. Sitting through tons of meetings and reorga-nizations that did little to improve work effectiveness, he could have dropped out to become a guitar-playing hippie. Not his style though...instead he invented a work system--a Language of WorkTM--that allows everyone to see work quickly in the same way, identify needed improvements easily, and create good solutions together. Using the Language of Work Formula allowed emotional displays, political posturing, and irrelevant thoughts to disappear from discussions. Instead, everyone's point of view was visible. He and his business partner taught the Work Formula in 10 short minutes, then engaged clients to make clear work models. The models implicitly clarified work for everyone. In response to this acceptance and on the verge of actual retirement, the Langdons have produced The Work Trilogy--a legacy of practical knowledge and practice for executives, managers, and workers. Each book is based on the Language of Work Formula, translated into usable Work Analytic Tools, with decades of proof of concept. The Business Model is for executives to gain their commitment to a new way of looking at work. It explains how to align work at the business unit, core processes, jobs and team (or department) levels. Also how to set standards, align culture and human relations, and assure adequate financial support--using the same Work Formula. Executives can then have their managers and work force apply the other two books in The Work Trilogy to achieve enterprise-wide success. This is a business book unlike any you have read before. Its approach is systematic and systemic. Its focus is on operational soundness. It is practical and concrete, based on work factors unique in each business. Clarity brings transparency and consensus. Shared knowledge brings alignment. Shared discussions bring self-initiated continuous improvement.

Langdon is a systems kind of guy who hates meetings, isn't fond of working, and can't stand work stupidity. As a worker sitting through tons of meetings that got little accomplished to improve work, he could have dropped out to become a guitar-playing hippie. Not his style though...instead he invented a system--a Language of WorkTM-- that would allow everyone to see work quickly in the same way, and create good solutions together.

The models of jobs and teams showed their working relationship to the entire enterprise. In response to this acceptance and on verge of retirement, the Lang-dons have produced The Work Trilogy-- a legacy of practical knowledge and practice for executives, managers, and workers. The Working Model is written for individuals...in organizations big and small. It operationally shows how to understand and implement work at the individual job and team levels. Using a series of Work Analytic Tools workers can apply the Language of Work Formula to a variety of work issues, such as solving problems, planning projects, having meaningful performance reviews, developing a career, making job changes always in a state of continuous work improvement, and others. Workers aspiring to managerial responsibility will want to also read The Managing Model. This is a business book unlike any you have read before. Its approach is systematic and systemic. Its focus is on operational soundness. It is practical and concrete. You will be able to take charge of your own success at work.

International Employee Equity Plans: Participation Beyond Borders

International Employee Equity Plans: Participation Beyond Borders

Mary K. Samsa; Kathleen S. Scheidt

Kluwer Law International
2003
sidottu
Commercial Law AUTHORED BY WORLD GROUP MEMBER FIRMS Although the economic downturns of 2001 and 2002 have threatened to dampen enthusiasm for employee equity participation in business enterprises, such plans continue to be offered by employers in nearly all major national jurisdictions. The time is ripe, in fact, to clarify and elucidate the legal complexities of extending such plans across borders to employees working in other countries. This is the first book to provide in-depth, country-by-country coverage of the national law issues that must be considered by an employer implementing (or considering the implementation of) a multinational employee equity plan. For each of thirty countries, International Employee Equity Plans presents a detailed survey of applicable law, trends, and customs affecting employee participation. Each chapter is written by practicing employment lawyers in that particular jurisdiction, ensuring that the critical issues, potential pitfalls, and likely changes are incisively dealt with.Among the matters described and analysed for each country are the following: the most advantageous (and disadvantageous) types of plans; relevant securities offering rules; all legal compliance steps; available exemptions and reliefs and the conditions upon which they are offered; the fine line between "informing" and "advising"; taxation of employee benefits and other tax rules; and the extent to which local courts will recognize foreign law in all pertinent matters. The wealth of guidance and information in this book will help many more organisations to follow the lead of those companies that have already achieved remarkable success in this important area of international business. Legal practitioners, in-house counsel, human resources executives and others involved in implementing employee equity plans have here a detailed and user-friendly handbook covering the most important jurisdictions.
