Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become an increasingly heated topic since the 1980s. This title proposes that the concept of Corporate Social Irresponsibility (CSI) offers a better theoretical platform to avoid the vagueness, ambiguity, arbitrariness and mysticism of CSR.

This book details the silent cry of a father s struggle, who tried to obtain justice in a woman s world. She did not want Brian to see or establish a relationship with his son. He did not know Brian, and Brian did not know him. She only wanted monetary support. The name Kamon means a peaceful place and was God s answer to Brian s cry to his heavenly Father for his son, and his son crying out for his father s love. As you finish reading this book, ask yourself, who is crying for the children; can anyone hear the cry of the children? Brian hears the cries of the children, who desire to know, if you will, the other half of their 23 chromosomes. Brian Jones is a father and mentor for other children. He has a Bachelors of Science in Business Management, and is currently working on his Masters Degree."

The Yearbook of Astronomy 2022 is the Diamond Jubilee edition of this iconic publication, the annual appearance of which has been eagerly anticipated by astronomers, both amateur and professional, ever since this invaluable book first appeared in 1962. As the preface to the 1962 edition informed its readers, the post-war years had seen a tremendous growth of interest in astronomy and space research. Doubtless fueled by the dawn of the Space Age, the launch of Sputnik 1 in October 1957 marked a significant change in the course of history. This epoch-making event, coupled with the subsequent flights of Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin (April 1961) and American astronaut Alan Shepard (May 1961), served to engender a public interest in astronomy and space that has continued to grow and expand to this day. Maintaining its appealing style and presentation, the Yearbook of Astronomy 2022 contains comprehensive jargon-free monthly sky notes and an authoritative set of sky charts to enable backyard astronomers and sky gazers everywhere to plan their viewing of the years eclipses, comets, meteor showers and minor planets as well as detailing the phases of the Moon and visibility and locations of the planets throughout the year. To supplement all this is a variety of entertaining and informative articles, a feature for which the Yearbook of Astronomy is known.

The Yearbook of Astronomy continues to be essential reading for anyone lured and fascinated by the magic of astronomy. It remains an inspiration to amateur and professional astronomers alike, and warrants a place on the bookshelf of all stargazers and watchers of the Universe.

This book is for those who still follow the old school jiujitsu way. Its purpose is to give a voice to the original fighting art of jiujitsu and differentiate it from modern sport jiujitsu. It's a manifesto - a statement of principles. Rather than an argument to convince or convert, this book explains plainly what many refuse to acknowledge. Jiujitsu is no longer a unified system. Increasing differences between traditional self-defense jiujitsu and sport jiujitsu dwarf any similarities left between the two such that they are now completely different styles. Despite the name, old school jiujitsu represents a mindset and method rather than a time period. It continues in the tradition of its Japanese roots while following the original intentions of its Brazilian founders. Old school jiujitsu also draws upon the ideas and experiences of the pioneers who spread the art around the world. It honors those in modern times who continue the legacy of the original art just as it dismisses early attempts to steer it in the direction of common sport. The ideas in this book often run counter to modern mainstream thought about jiujitsu, and in true manifesto style, opinions will be polarized. Readers will likely either love or hate it. Agree with it completely, or laugh it off as the antiquated ramblings of a disgruntled oldster. Regardless, the spirit of the old school will never die - those who believe as I do will continue its legacy out of duty and love. Those dedicated to the old school way will hold the line in our own academies, with our own students, and on our own mats. We do so because it's our passion and our obligation, and no trend will ever divert us from our charge.The Old School is the Best School.

Domitian, Emperor of Rome AD 81-96, has traditionally been portrayed as a tyrant, and his later years on the throne as a `reign of terror'. Brian Jones' biography of the emperor, the first ever in English, offers a more balanced interpretation of the life of Domitian, arguing that his foreign policy was realistic, his economic programme rigorously efficient and his supposed persecution of the early Christians non-existent. Central to an understanding of the emperor's policies, Brian Jones proposes, is his relationship with his court, rather than with the senate. Roamn historians will have to take account of this new biography which in part represents a rehabilitation of Domitian.

This encyclopedia introduces readers to American poetry, fiction and nonfiction with a focus on the environment (broadly defined as humanity’s natural surroundings), from the discovery of America through the present. The work includes biographical and literary entries on material from early explorers and colonists such as Columbus, Bartolomé de Las Casas and Thomas Harriot; Native American creation myths; canonical 18th- and 19th-century works of Jefferson, Emerson, Thoreau, Whitman, Hawthorne, Twain, Dickinson and others; to more recent figures such as Jack London, Ernest Hemingway, Norman Mailer, Stanley Cavell, Rachel Carson, Jon Krakauer and Al Gore. It is meant to provide a synoptic appreciation of how the very concept of the environment has changed over the past five centuries, offering both a general introduction to the topic and a valuable resource for high school and university courses focused on environmental issues.

Judy was diagnosed at the age of 18 months, soon after her first fit. This is a frank and personal account of the difficulties and joys of learning to live with an epileptic dog. It is not all doom and gloom and the good days far outweighed the bad days. Thankfully, very few epileptic dogs are as profoundly afflicted as Judy was. It is hoped that this book will provide some insight into the condition, helping to alleviate any fears a dog owner may have when their beloved pet is first diagnosed. Both dog and owner can look forward to a long a happy life together.
