Compensation experts Paula M. Singer and Laura L. Francisco update the groundbreaking 2002 book with new analysis of emerging workforce trends in "Developing a Compensation Plan for Your Library, Second Edition". In this edition, Singer and Francisco tackle the new challenges facing administrators and human resources planners such as retirement of the Baby Boomers, determining the compensation value of an MLS, and how to retain your organization's high-performing employees. Included within this user-friendly text, are the updated versions of the numerous checklists, worksheets, and salary surveys that made the first edition such a reliable resource.
The most diverse, enjoyable, and thought-provoking encyclopedia on language. Though not an alphabetical encyclopedia, the coverage of the 65 thematic chapters is encyclopedic--ideal for anyone interested in words, speech, writing, and thought, and certain to be a continual point of reference for any writer for years to come. Very Highly Recommended.
British State Romanticism: Authorship, Agency, and Bureaucratic Nationalism
"This book is a very well-argued, timely, and original intervention into debates over the late conservatism of the British Romantics. Frey accounts in a new way for the weakening of High Romantic poetics, arguing that British Romanticism used literary art to construct a conceptually coherent, conservative project: the reconfiguration of the individual's relationship to the state. British State Romanticism is a path-breaking contribution to the field."
