Human Resource Management And The New Industrial Relations
Authors: Guest David , Hoque Kim 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
‘Human resource management’ and the ‘new industrial relations’, like most terms in the field of management and organization, originated in the United States. Those using the terms were not doing so with a concern for precision; nor were they proposing any tight distinction between them. Rather, they were seeking to convey to a predominantly management audience a sense of innovation and change. There appear to be no compelling reasons why we should therefore seek to impose artificial boundaries of our own. However, ‘human resource management’ generally conjures up an image of a high technology non-union environment while the use of the term ‘industrial relations’ inevitably implies that trade unions or some other form of workforce representation are involved. In considering human resource management and the new industrial relations, it is on this absence or presence of a trade union and its consequences for policy, practice, and performance that we will concentrate.
Public Sector Industrial Relations
Authors: Bail1ey Rachel 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In recent years organizational change in the public sector has been unprecedented in its scope and speed of introduction. It has not only focused on alternative methods of service delivery, but has put industrial relations firmly in the spotlight, both as a necessary partner in service reforms, and as a focus for reform in its own right. The changes have all affected the way in which the employment relationship in the public sector is managed, both at the collective and individual levels. How this relationship has been affected, and with what actual and potential consequences provide the two main themes of this chapter. What has been the rationale for the changes which have occurred over the last decade or so, and do they reflect a substantial shift in what is considered important in the employment relationship by public sector managers, unions, and employees?
In seeking to answer these questions, we concentrate on the most important developments of the 1980s and 1990s, analysing different aspects of the management of industrial relations. Section 3 focuses on the collective, formal organization of industrial relations, with particular reference to pay determination mechanisms. In Section 4, a partial assessment of these arrangements is given by looking at two key industrial relations outcomes, pay and strikes. We then look at some of the main tools used in the management of human resources, such as pay and grading structures (Section 5), to understand what is happening to the employment relationship at the individual level. Throughout, it should be borne in mind that where changes are noted, they should not be viewed as departures from some neat model of the ‘old’ public sector employment relationship.
Playing Recorder Sonatas
Authors: Rowland-Jones Anthony 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This is a comprehensive introduction to the art of playing recorder sonatas, written by a teacher and player of wide experience. It is designed not only for students and teachers, but also for those self-taught recorder players who have reached the point where they feel ready to embark upon solo sonata playing. It aims to encourage players whose experience has been limited to consort music to extend their playing to sonatas by Handel, Telemann and others, so increasing their enjoyment and skill in recorder playing in all its varied forms. Through this book they will encounter sonatas from the seventeenth, eighteenth, and twentieth centuries, which often make challenging demands upon the recorder's expressive capabilities. Each of the sonatas considered is described in relation to its musical background (illustrated by parallels with other arts) and to the performance practices of each period.
Conflict of Laws Within The Uk
Authors: Hood Kirsty J 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This is the first major treatment of the conflict of laws within the UK, a subject often dealt with only incidentally in the main texts on private international law. In particular, the book examines the effect of the UK’s changing constitutional arrangements on questions of jurisdiction, choice of law and issues of recognition and enforcement which arise within the UK. The book offers practical guidance on the applicable rules in intra-UK conflicts situations with sections devoted to forum shopping within the UK, and other procedural matters. A chapter is also included on the impact of EU legislation on intra-UK conflicts, concluding with a discussion on how “Europeanization” might affect the conflict of laws in the UK. There is also coverage of how public policy functions in the conflict of laws. The book’s approach to the treatment of intra-UK conflicts is enhanced by a comparative analysis of the recent response of Canada and Australia to, respectively, interprovincial and interstate conflicts.
Bismarckian Germany
Authors: Lerman Katharine Anne 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In the spring of 1870 a south German aristocrat, Prince Chlodwig zu Hohenlohe-Schillingsfürst, was visiting Berlin. Born of a Protestant mother, brought up a Catholic, and married to a Russian princess, Hohenlohe was liberal in his political views and, unusually for a man of his background, he had come to support the idea of a united Germany under Prussian leadership. Some twenty-four years later he would become the first chancellor of the German Empire who did not come from Prussia. But at the time of his visit in April 1870 the German Empire did not exist, and the only representative political institution linking the recently created North German Confederation with the German states south of the River Main was a customs parliament. Moreover, just six weeks before his visit, Hohenlohe had been forced to resign as chief minister of Bavaria because of his political views. Having spent three years working to improve relations between Prussia and the south German states after they had fought on opposing sides in the Austro-Prussian War of 1866, Hohenlohe had finally accepted in March 1870 that his policies were out of tune with a Bavarian electorate that was increasingly clerical and anti-Prussian.
1578-1580: Chronology as a Vocation
Authors: Grafton Anthony 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
We have now mapped the segments of chronology that Scaliger knew when he finished editing Manilius in 1578. Certain features dominate: the great volcanoes of Postel and Goropius, belching out their powerful new theses, overwhelm the flocks of modest schoolteachers quietly browsing over mentions of Attic months in classical texts and the Italian antiquaries bickering over the pieces of the Fasti. Every feature, great or small, is still seen at a fair distance, and much of it through a haze of uninvolvement. Chronology still seemed to Scaliger one Hilfswissenschaft among many, no more and no less pressing in its claims on his attention than numismatics, and far less so than epigraphy.
The Later History of the Julian Calendar
Authors: Grafton Anthony 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Once Scaliger had made clear the difference between the Julian calendar founded by Caesar and that represented by the ecclesiastical computus, he filled in the historical space that lay between them. He argued, at length, that the Julian calendar of Alexandria began on 29 August because the pontifices had been too zealous in intercalation. Had they done as Caesar desired, the year would have begun on 31 August in Nabonassar 719. He traced the continued use of this calendar in Plutarch—sometimes erroneously—and among the Copts.
Scaliger as Varro: The Chronologer’s Task
Authors: Grafton Anthony 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Book iv marks the end of Scaliger’s history of calendars. For most readers this break, coming halfway through the book, must have seemed less a pause for refreshment than the end of an ordeal. Even a sympathetic reader could hardly find his exposition of the calendars clear or linear. Nicolas Vignier, for example, paid tribute to what he described as Scaliger’s splendid interpretation of the Greek calendar but admitted that this needed an ‘interprete’ in its own right. Kepler struck a sharper note, as we have seen. Moreover, for most consumers the proof of Scaliger’s pudding would lie not in his indigestible and rebarbative sections on calendars but in the juicy and palatable historical dates with which the whole book was thickly studded. Books v-vi treated these directly and in detail.
From Chronology to Computus
Authors: Grafton Anthony 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Book vii of the De emendatione—probably the original nucleus of the work—presents Scaliger’s systematic reconstructions of calendars in the traditional form of the computus: instructions and commentary. Short sections deal with the mechanics of the Julian ecclesiastical calendar: epacts, regulars, and the mnemonic verses that reveal a year’s position in the solar and lunar cycles. Another summarizes the results of Scaliger’s work on eras in books v and vi. But the core of the work, as his early descriptions of it had already promised, consisted of editions of three texts with commentaries: a Jewish computus, an Ethiopic computus, and sections from the Byzantine computus of Maximus Monachus (sixth century), all with commentary and the first two with translations as well.
Editing Jerome: The Elusiveness of a Tradition
Authors: Grafton Anthony 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Now that we have established the context and chronology of Scaliger’s book, we shall undertake its anatomy. We shall begin, paradoxically, at the core: with the text Scaliger innocently set out to edit, Jerome’s Latin version of the Chronicle of Eusebius. Scaliger’s first effort to produce a critical text of this was doomed, for the printed and manuscript sources available to him were both too recent and too corrupt to meet his needs. The first printed edition, that by Mombritius, accurately reproduced an older layout of the text, as found in a ninth-century manuscript now in Oxford (Merton 315). But Santritter’s interventionist edition, published by Ratdolt in 1483, drove the older one off the market.
A bird’s-eye view of metamaterials
Authors: Solymar L , Shamonina E 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to provide an introduction to the subject. It is called a bird’s-eye view because it looks at the subject of metamaterials, admittedly superficially, from above, pausing at certain views that the authors like to share with the reader and making some relevant comments without going into very much detail. Physical concepts, most of them already introduced in Chapter 1, will be further developed. The mathematics will be kept to an absolute minimum. It will mostly be simple algebra.
Who might benefit from this survey? Well, the authors have certainly benefited from writing it because they were forced to pronounce judgment on the relative simplicity of the various parts of the subject and had to decide on where to start, how to proceed and what to include. For a beginner, who first comes into contact with the subject, there might be too many new concepts. Even then it is hoped that some concepts will be picked up, stored in the brain, and will later act as catalysts facilitating the absorption of further information. For a research student who has already acquired some familiarity with the fundamentals it might serve as a reinforcement of existing knowledge. For unbelievers who question the correctness of all new ideas wherever they come from, until properly checked, this chapter might offer new things to worry about. For those who are thoroughly familiar with all the basic tenets of modern research in metamaterials this might still be suitable for bedtime reading.
A historical review
Authors: Solymar L , Shamonina E 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
It is probably too early, the subject is too young and not very well defined, for writing an all-embracing review of the history of metamaterials. Our aim here is much more modest. We shall make am attempt at finding the various antecedents leading to the birth of the subject and enumerate the seminal papers instrumental in establishing the initial momentum. A large number of closely related topics will be described that contributed to the process of cross-fertilization and led to sustained interest and further rapid development.
Some births are more difficult than others. Pallas Athene is reputed to have sprung out of Zeus’ head, and Aphrodite from the foam of the sea. Other births have been known to be less instantaneous and to have required the simultaneous efforts of a number of parents. Metamaterials belong to that category. It had a long gestation period and many contributors. Before going into specifics and enumerating the various prior influences it might be worth having a broader look at Physics that has often been accorded a privileged position in the ranks of natural science. We may even go further and quote Ernest Rutherford saying that ‘Physics is the only science: the rest is stamp collecting.’ This is not quite true in the twenty-first century. Many other disciplines have been using rigorous criteria for proving their theses. Nonetheless, we could claim with good conscience that Physics is still the discipline farthest away from the art of stamp collecting.

The Science of Golf
Authors: Wesson John 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This book gives a scientific account of all aspects of the game of golf and answers the questions which occur to all who play the game. The mechanics of the swing and the impact of the club on the ball are explained. Together these decide the range of the ball - which is shown to be the most important factor for success. The aerodynamics of the ball's flight has several surprises, including the effects of dimples and spin. Understanding these effects allows a calculation of the ball's flight and explains how the range depends on the clubhead speed and the characteristics of the club. Putting is analysed to find the optimum strategy and to understand how winds, slopes, and mud affect the run of the ball. Handicaps are perhaps the most discussed topic in golf and the book examines the handicaps system to identify their consequences in matches and competitions, with results which will surprise many players. The famous question - "what is the probability of a hole-in-one?" is discussed and a neat way of answering it is proposed. Further chapters examine the players, the equipment, and the economics of the game, discussing the aspects of play that determine success, how much the improvments in clubs and balls have affected performance and the remarkable growth of both the amateur and the professional game.
Conclusion and recommended amendments to the Regulations
Authors: Kruger Thalia 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Coming to the end, one sees a building constructed upon a quadrangle, and one has to admire what the EU has achieved in the area of civil jurisdiction. However, this building does not seem to have enough windows and doors to the outside world. It appears that the rules were drawn up from the inside, for the inside. It is a pity that the drafters paid little attention to the outside world. In its judgments on civil jurisdiction, one sometimes finds that the European Court of Justice attaches more weight to the functioning of the European judicial area than to considerations of international trade more generally and to the interests of third States.
Acoustofluidics
Authors: Bruus Henrik 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
When the acoustic waves or radiation are propagating in liquids, the associated fast-moving and rapidly oscillating pressure and velocity fields can impart a slow non-oscillating velocity component to the liquid or to small particles suspended in the liquid. In microfluidic systems these normally quite minute effects can be of significance. Interestingly, the origin of these effects can be traced back to two hydrodynamic properties largely ignored in the preceding chapters, namely the non-linearity of the Navier–Stokes equation and the small but non-zero compressibility of ordinary liquids.
Consciousness and Quantum Theory: Strange Bedfellows
Authors: Loewer Barry 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
When I look at the scale of the apparatus I know what it reads. Those absurdly delicate, hopelessly inaccessible, global correlations obviously vanish when they connect up with me. Whether this is because consciousness is beyond the range of phenomena that quantum mechanics is capable of dealing with, or because it has infinitely many degrees of freedom or special super selection rules of its own, I would not presume to guess. But this is a puzzle about consciousness that should not get mixed up with efforts to understand quantum mechanics as a theory of subsystem correlations in the nonconscious world.
The Crisis: Communication Strategies to Protect Desired Images and Reputations
Authors: Dowling Grahame 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The Chinese characters for crisis denote two words—danger and opportunity. From the point of view of an organization’s desired reputation, it is the danger component that is the primary focus of this chapter. While opportunities may arise as the result of a crisis, the effects on corporate images and reputations are mostly negative. Inevitably, the publicity surrounding a crisis undermines many of the attributes of the organization such as being well managed, and carrying out a stewardship function. This will degrade the corporate image. If the crisis also leads to the erosion of respect and esteem, and ultimately, trust and confidence, then the corporate reputation has suffered. In effect, many serious crises make a withdrawal from the organization’s reputation bank account (recall Figures 10.1 and 10.2).
Thinking Creatively about Careers: The Use of Metaphor
Authors: Inkson Kerr 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
It is commonly agreed that metaphor-the substitution of a concept (for example, ‘the manager’) by another that is typically more concrete and more striking, and that carries fresh connotations (for example, ‘the general’, ‘the politician’, ‘the boy scout’)-is universal and inevitable. Metaphor, arguably, is not just an illustrative use of language, but also a way of cognitively appreciating and understanding the world (Ortony 1993; Grant and Oswick 1996). As I hope to show in this chapter, we do not just compose metaphors as devices of art or rhetoric: we think in metaphors (Mangham 1996).
Signaling Expertise: How Signals Shape Careers in Creative Industries
Authors: Jones Candace 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Creative industries are ‘goods and services’ associated with ‘culturalr artistic, or simply entertainment value’ (Caves 2000: 1). In creative industries, each project or product is a unique and non-routine combination of inputs, demanding both creative skills and flexibility in the enactment of one’s skills and careers. No two movies, buildings, or operas are alike, even if they draw heavily from a prior performance. Careers in creative industries such as film, music, fashion, architecture, and advertising are constructed around projects.
How Chaotic Careers Create Orderly Fields
Authors: Peterson Richard A , Anand N 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The concept of ‘field’ has become increasingly popular with students of organization theory. DiMaggio and Powell (1983: 148) formally defined an organizational field as ‘those organizations that, in the aggregate, constitute a recognized area of institutional life: key suppliers, resource and product consumers, regulatory agencies, and other organizations that produce similar services or pro ducts’. The concept is central to an institutional view of organizations, and theorists have used the term to denote formations of organizations that are similar, have common practices, or share a certain focus of attention such as a market (Scott 1995). The popularity of the notion of field may partly be because it transcends earlier dualistically related concepts such as ‘organization’ and ‘environment’ or ‘firm’ and ‘industry’ that deny the embeddedness of the one in the other and also because it slips across levels of analysis, allowing for a more naturalistic explanation of organizational phenomena.
John Fell: Education, Erudition and the English Church in Late Seventeenth-Century Oxford*
Authors: Keene Nicholas 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
John Fell, dean of Christ Church, vice-chancellor of the University of Oxford, and bishop of Oxford, has long been a figure of interest to historians of printing and typography and to those concerned with late seventeenth century nonconformity and to the politics of Restoration Oxford. This study will focus on Fell from three overlapping perspectives, demonstrating his considerable contribution to the religious, intellectual, and political issues of the era. First, it will highlight Fell’s lifelong participation in Oxford University life, his eagerness to bolster its reputation for learning at home and abroad, and his commitment to education and discipline there. Dean of one of the largest colleges for a quarter a century and vice-chancellor for most of the late 1660s, he played a significant role in the instruction and fostering of Restoration youth, from poor scholars to the offspring of the highest echelons of nobility. Second, it will assess Fell as a facilitator of erudite works, the pivotal figure in a network of formal and informal intellectual and commercial contacts that combined in the production of texts from the Sheldonian Theatre. Fell was committed to the ideal of a learned press, the cherished notion of Archbishop Laud, whose efforts to establish a press to print early Christian texts in their original languages had foundered with his fall from power, but the dream remained alive. Third, it will evaluate Fell’s contribution to biblical and patristic scholarship, particularly the publication of a Greek Testament and the works of the Church Father Cyprian that received domestic and foreign acclaim.
