ISBN: 9780313393792 / Angielski / Twarda / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Profit of Education" makes it clear that rethinking the teaching profession is the key to repairing America's broken-down education system and securing our nation's future.

Trade Union Merger Strategies: Purpose, Process, and Performance
ISBN: 9780199544943 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As Trade Union membership has declined, union mergers have been prominent features in strategies of revitalization. Yet, there is very little systematic and empirical research into the effects of union mergers on the unions actually merging or of their impact on the wider union movement. This ground-breaking study fills this gap with its in-depth analysis of British unions' mergers since 1978: the point at which British unions moved from growth into decline, primarily due to adverse and damaging changes in the British industrial relations climate.

Innenräume in der Literatur des deutschen Mittelalters
ISBN: 9783484108110 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 476 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Eine Auseinandersetzung um "Innenraauml;ume" verbindet zwei Paradigmen der aktuellen kulturwissenschaftlichen Diskussion: Raum als Ordnungkategorie sowie die Leitdifferenz von Innen und Auen. Die Literatur des deutschen Mittelalters inszeniert solche "Innenraume" auf verschiedenen Ebenen und stellt so die Frage von Differenz, Grenze und Uberschreitung. Zugleich werden abstrakte symbolische Groouml;en und Prozesse semantisierbar ― "Innenraume" reflektieren somit in einer Kultur der Prasenz Vorstellungen uuuml;ber psychische, kosmologische oder textuelle Ordnungen.

ISBN: 9780719065910 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Starting with the cult of St. Monday, the problem of absenteeism of northern textile workers during Wakes Week, and ending with the cheap foreign package holiday of the late twentieth century, this study recounts how short, unpaid and often unauthorised periods of leave from work became organised and legitimised through...
