The ultimate visual journey into the beautiful and complex world of wasps
Wasps are far more diverse than the familiar yellowjackets and hornets that harass picnickers and build nests under the eaves of our homes. These amazing, mostly solitary creatures thrive in nearly every habitat on Earth, and their influence on our lives is overwhelmingly beneficial. Wasps are agents of pest control in agriculture and gardens. They are subjects of study in medicine, engineering, and other important fields. Wasps pollinate flowers, engage in symbiotic relationships with other organisms, and create architectural masterpieces in the form of their nests. This richly illustrated book introduces you to some of the most spectacular members of the wasp realm, colorful in both appearance and lifestyle. From minute fairyflies to gargantuan tarantula hawks, wasps exploit almost every niche on the planet. So successful are they at survival that other organisms emulate their appearance and behavior. The sting is the least reason to respect wasps and, as you will see, no reason to loathe them, either. Written by a leading authority on these remarkable insects, Wasps reveals a world of staggering variety and endless fascination.

Описание: SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2020 CUNDILL HISTORY PRIZE'Remarkable ... this brilliant book stands as an important monument to an almost forgotten world' William Dalrymple, Spectator A sweeping, magisterial new history of India from the middle ages to the arrival of the BritishThe Indian subcontinent might seem a self-contained world. Protected by vast mountains and seas, it has created its own religions, philosophies and social systems.
And yet this ancient land experienced prolonged and intense interaction with the peoples and cultures of East and Southeast Asia, Europe, Africa and, especially, Central Asia and the Iranian plateau between the eleventh and eighteenth centuries. Richard M. Eaton's wonderful new book tells this extraordinary story with relish and originality.
His major theme is the rise of 'Persianate' culture - a many-faceted transregional world informed by a canon of texts that circulated through ever-widening networks across much of Asia. Introduced to India in the eleventh century by dynasties based in eastern Afghanistan, this culture would become thoroughly indigenized by the time of the great Mughals in the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries. This long-term process of cultural interaction and assimilation is reflected in India's language, literature, cuisine, attire, religion, styles of rulership and warfare, science, art, music, architecture, and more.
The book brilliantly elaborates the complex encounter between India's Sanskrit culture - which continued to flourish and grow throughout this period - and Persian culture, which helped shape the Delhi Sultanate, the Mughal Empire and a host of regional states, and made India what it is today.

Описание:
Kaiser Permanente is the largest managed care organization in the country. It also happens to have the largest and most complex labor-management partnership ever created in the United States. This book tells the story of that partnership-how it started, how it grew, who made it happen, and the lessons to be learned from its successes and complications. With twenty-seven unions and an organization as complex as 8.6-million-member Kaiser Permanente, establishing the partnership was not a simple task and maintaining it has proven to be extraordinarily challenging.Thomas A. Kochan, Adrienne E. Eaton, Robert B. McKersie, and Paul S. Adler are among a team of researchers who have been tracking the evolution of the partnership between Kaiser Permanente and the Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions ever since 2001. They review the history of health care labor relations and present a profile of Kaiser Permanente as it has developed over the years. They then delve into the partnership, discussing its achievements and struggles, including the negotiation of the most innovative collective bargaining agreements in the history of American labor relations. Healing Together concludes with an assessment of the Kaiser partnership's effect on the larger health care system and its implications for labor-management relations in other industries.

Описание: When Janet's employer, whom she loves as a father, suffers a heart attack and is near death, she has no alternative but to fly to a remote area in Montana to get his estranged son Patrick to sign papers giving her Power of Attorney. This will allow her to carry on negotiations for Mayhew Enterprises. Patrick assumes this beautiful woman is another ploy his father sent to "woo" him back to St Louis. Too bitter toward his father to listen, Patrick turns a deaf ear when Janet tries to convince him that Christopher Mayhew is a changed person since he's found God. Then she learns Patrick has an eleven year old son he has kept secret all these years. She begs him to tell his father he has a grandson but Patrick adamantly refuses. She knows the boy will give Christopher reason to fight for his life, while she desperately battles the fact that she's having romantic feelings for this tall, handsome...stubborn Montana Ranger. Matt, Patrick's son, adores Janet who also is enamored with him. Matt openly plays match-maker, telling his dad that they need "A Woman's Touch". Although Patrick has never felt for a woman the way he does for Janet, they live in two different worlds and a relationship will never work. However, the way their passionate embraces and kisses pull at his heart strings, cannot be denied. He tries to persuade Janet to forget they ever met, but convincing his heart he means what he says is another matter. Never did Janet think she would fall so hard for a man she just met. In his arms is where she belongs and she's sure he feels the same, but she will never leave Christopher and Patrick refuses to forgive his father. Her heart is broken and it's time to go, but just before she is scheduled to return to St. Louis, Matt disappears and they are caught in the harrowing experience. Can love survive when two worlds collide?
