"This incisive book examines how the values of social justice can be protected against attacks from the interacting economic, social, environmental, and health crises of the 21st century. Global contributors outline key elements of a political programme that resists the shift to the right caused by this turbulence through centring fairness, equality, respect and inclusion. Integrating policy, practical, and political perspectives, this book analyses the Covid-19 pandemic, the rise of racism and xenophobia, the growth of right-wing populism and nationalism, the 2008 economic crisis, and the impacts of climate change. Arguing that the current era is unique for the global nature of its turbulences, it illustrates how and why the gap between the advantaged and disadvantaged has grown more rapidly due to recent crises. Contributors focus on how these crises relate to and reinforce each other, providing roadmaps for political action across national borders. This book will be essential reading for academics in sociology, politics, public and social policy, sustainability, and human rights. Providing ideas and models to support the practical struggle for social justice, it will also be an invaluable guide for activists, politicians, and policymakers"-- Provided by publisher.

"The bestselling "untextbook" that makes the familiar strange. The market leader for introductory sociology courses and a welcome alternative to traditional textbooks, You May Ask Yourself engages students with an irreverent narrative style. It questions what is often taken for granted and helps students apply sociological ways of thinking to their own experiences. The Seventh Edition features new coverage of pressing social issues related to aging, health, and inequality. Several new video interviews introduce important current research, and a thoughtfully revised InQuizitive course uses what learning experts call the "retrieval effect" to help students master core concepts"-- Provided by publisher.

The book describes the contributions that many prominent management thinkers have made to the study of organizations and how they are managed. This omnibus edition of earlier successful books covers a wide range of writers across the whole of the Twentieth Century whose writings have had a great impact on organizational thinking and managerial behaviour. Great early writers such as Henri Fayol, Frederick W. Taylor, and Max Weber are considered: as are the classical writings of Alfred D. Chandler, Peter F. Drucker and Frederick Herzberg among many others. Modern writers with great impact such as Oliver E. Williamson, Rosabeth Moss Kanter and Thomas J. Peters and Robert H. Waterman are discussed. The volume is an indispensable introduction for the busy manager to what the great writers have to say on the key managerial subjects of how to organize and motivate.

"Les années folles qui ont suivi Mai 68 donnent lieu à des interprétations qui oscillent entre la nostalgie et le rejet. L'état d'esprit de l'époque, les Trente Glorieuses, n'avait rien de dépressif, il était au contraire transgressif et jubilatoire. C'est peut-être cela qu'il est difficile de comprendre pour les nouvelles générations qui vivent dans un présent anxiogène et ont une vision catastrophique de l'avenir. J'avais 20 ans, j'étais étudiant à Caen et j'ai vécu intensément ces années avec d'autres, en croyant que tout était possible, y compris nos rêves les plus fous. Ce récit ne se situe pas en surplomb de l'histoire, mais décrit de l'intérieur des rencontres, des lectures et des violences. L'amour fou y côtoie le militantisme, les idées se mêlent aux passions dans un milieu contestataire et gauchiste en pleine ébullition. Telle est mon hypothèse : Mai 68 n'est pas seulement un remake dérisoire des révolutions passées auxquelles il se réfère, sa singularité tient à une "révolution culturelle" qui a bouleversé le tissu éducatif et sociétal. Les plus enragés d'entre nous entendaient renverser toutes les valeurs en y trouvant un plaisir certain. C'est en ce sens qu'il me paraît fondé de parler de "révolte" et de "nihilisme" du peuple adolescent." Dans ce livre vivant et lucide, Jean-Pierre Le Goff explore une époque qui a entraîné un glissement anthropologique dont nous continuons de subir les effets."--Page 4 of cover.
