When It All Burns: Fighting Fire in a Transformed World
"Exceptional. . . . When It All Burns is one of those books that immerses the reader in the nuances of a world most of us know only through the lens of tragedy and destruction. Thomas' visceral, crystalline prose only adds fuel to the fire." --Los Angeles Times A hotshot firefighter's gripping firsthand account of a record-setting fire season Eighteen of California's largest wildfires on record have burned in the past two decades. Scientists recently invented the term "megafire" to describe wildfires that behave in ways that would have been nearly impossible just a generation ago, burning through winter, exploding in the night, and devastating landscapes historically impervious to incendiary destruction. In When It All Burns, wildland firefighter and anthropologist Jordan Thomas recounts a single, brutal six-month fire season with the Los Padres Hotshots--the special forces of America's firefighters. Being a hotshot is among the most difficult jobs on earth. Thomas viscerally renders his crew's attempts to battle flames that are often too destructive to contain. He uncovers the hidden cultural history of megafires, revealing how humanity's symbiotic relationship with wildfire became a war--and what can be done to change it back. Thomas weaves ecology and the history of Indigenous peoples' oppression, federal forestry, and the growth of the fire industrial complex into a riveting narrative about a new phase in the climate crisis. It's an immersive story of community in the most perilous of circumstances, told with humor, humility, and affection.

Their specialized task force has taken up the unenviable task of hunting Dupes before their violence can spread. To the government, they're the Duplicate Identification and Capture Division. To everyone else, they're the "Skin Police." The worst part of the job? It's always the one you least suspect . . . Collecting Skin Police #1–4.

The Pioneer Kingdoms of Macedon and Qin critically compares the cultures of Ancient Greece and Early China in the first millennium BC through following the histories of two of its peripheral cases: Argead Macedon and Qin. Emerging from being fringe states to producing Alexander the Great and the First Emperor of China, then rapidly collapsing, these polities had a unique parallel historical experience, though vastly separated by the political developments brought on by the unique features of Greek and Zhou culture within which they operated. Jordan Thomas Christopher undertakes a holistic comparison of these states from their earliest origins through to the reigns of Alexander the Great and the First Emperor, which receive an extended and multi-layered analysis. He thereby highlights the particularities of Greek and Zhou cultures that often go underappreciated as causal factors in history.

Kränkningar kan uppstå i många situationer. Exempelvis att läraren kränker elever, att omsorgspersonal kränker vårdtagare eller att vi blir kränkta på olika sociala medier. I arbetslivet upplever många chefer och skyddsombud att det är svårt att dra gränsen mellan kränkning och arbetsledning. Vågar chefen agera som en tydlig arbetsgivare eller leder det till kränkande särbehandling? Hur ska skyddsombudet agera i dessa frågor? Kan en arbetstagare utsätta chefen för kränkande särbehandling? Vad finns det för skillnader och likheter mellan kränkande särbehandling utifrån arbetsmiljölagen och trakasserier utifrån diskrimineringslagen? Eller är det bara skitprat på jobbet? Detta är en enkel och konkret bok för chefer, skyddsombud och HR-funktioner. Den innehåller beskrivningar av olika dilemman och case, gällande lagstiftning och rättsfall. Boken innehåller också en del praktiska checklistor. Bokens främsta fokus är dels den rättsliga grunden och dels ett proaktivt förhållningssätt för att därigenom förebygga att kränkningar och trakasserier uppstår på jobbet. De senaste åren har mycket uppmärksamhet ägnats åt utredningar kring denna problematik. Förvisso ska utredningar i vissa avseende genomföras men baserat på den rättsliga grunden ska fokus primärt vara på det förebyggande arbetet. Detta är den andra reviderade upplagan med en del nya rättsfall samt förord av Thomas Jordan, docent och tidigare lektor i arbetsvetenskap vid Göteborgs universitet.

Thomas Jordan's Diary

Thomas Jordan's diary is a day-by-day account of farm life in rural Maine during the 1840s. The writer, an intelligent and industrious farmer, provides us with an unparalled look at the past as our country was entering a new age. Extensive annotation by one of the diarist's descendents serves to bridge the time gap between then and now.
The Campaigns Of General Nathan Bedford Forrest And Of Forrest's Cavalry
In June 1861, practically unschooled, without military training or experience, Nathan Bedford Forrest (1821-1877) enlisted in the Confederate Army as a private. Yet by the Civil War's end he was a lieutenant general whose dazzling exploits and bloody victories caused him to be regarded by his Northern opponents as a "devil," by Southerners as a living legend, and by historians as the greatest cavalry commander and one of the few authentic military geniuses produced by the war. His spectacular, unparalleled career has intrigued generations of Civil War scholars and enthusiasts. Subsequent biographies or studies of him have never totally superseded The Campaigns of General Nathan Bedford Forrest (1868) by General Thomas Jordan (West Pointer and chief of staff to Generals Beauregard, Albert Sidney Johnston, and Braxton Bragg) and the professional journalist J. P. Pryor. Forrest himself gave them complete access to his military papers, spent many hours in interviews with them, and closely supervised their writing. Hence, this work is not just a flat campaign study of Forrest,in effect, it is his military memoir and as such remains the most valuable source on Forrest and his cavalry.
