Victoria and Albert at Home

Victoria and Albert at Home

First Published in 1980 Victoria and Albert at Home describes the sitting construction and decorating of the two royal residences at Osborne and Balmoral and paints a memorable portrait of the Queen’s family and her Court beside the Solent and the Dee. At the time of their marriage the royal couple had the use of many crown properties but except for Windsor Castle they found none to their taste and began to look for a home of their own. Sir Robert Peel found them an estate on the Isle of Wight which was peaceful beautiful and at that time sufficiently remote from London. However when access from London became swifter and easier their privacy was lost and they looked elsewhere for a second private family residence. A small estate in Scotland was recommended and Prince Albert once again designed the house this time in Scottish baronial style. Drawing on memories archives and family papers some of which with a number of illustrations have never been published before Tyler Whittle has written an interesting entertaining and vivid account of life at a time so very much more elegant and yet at the same time so very much robust than anything that can be imagined today. This is a must read for students and scholars of British history and Royal history.

Accounting at War The Politics of Military Finance

Accounting at War The Politics of Military Finance

Accounting is frequently portrayed as a value free mechanism for allocating resources and ensuring they are employed in the most efficient manner. Contrary to this popular opinion the research presented in Accounting at War demonstrates that accounting for military forces is primarily a political practice. Throughout history military force has been so pervasive that no community of any degree of complexity has succeeded in. Through to the present day for all nation states accounting for the military and its operations has primarily served broader political purposes. From the Crimean War to the War on Terror accounting has been used to assert civilian control over the military instill rational business practices on war and create the visibilities and invisibilities necessary to legitimize the use of force. Accounting at War emphasizes the significant power that financial and accounting controls gave to political elites and the impact of these controls on military performance. Accounting at War examines the effects of these controls in wars such as the Crimean South African and Vietnam wars. Accounting at War also emphasizes how accounting has provided the means to rationalize and normalize violence which has often contributed to the acceleration and expansion of war. Aimed at researchers and academics in the fields of accounting accounting history political management and sociology Accounting at War represents a unique and critical perspective to this cutting-edge research field. | Accounting at War The Politics of Military Finance

Materials for Learning How to Teach Adults at a Distance

Materials for Learning (1981) examines the ability of books and broadcasts to change lives. The combination of print radio television and group meetings – distance teaching – can transform education in developing countries.

The Routledge Companion to Mental Health at Work

The Routledge Companion to Mental Health at Work

The issue of mental health at work has become a hot topic in both the popular media and academic writings. Although job stress and mental ill-health are associated with negative outcomes for individuals teams and organizations there has been some suggestion that changing the work environment and creating healthy workplaces can improve worker health. Much of the current works in the general of health is fractured coming from a variety of disciplines and perspectives without an organizing framework to help guide research and practice in the area. Having this individualized compartmentalized perspective constrains our ability to fully understand the scope of the issue the key factors in supporting or detracting from one’s mental health and interventions focusing on mental health at work. Given the importance of understanding mental health at work and the current lack of coverage on workplace mental health there is a need for a book to provide a holistic overview of the issue targeting the environmental individual and group influences of mental health and well-being as well as the impact on individuals and workplaces. This handbook provides a conceptual framework for examining these issues. Each chapter offers an in-depth examination of the key facets of mental health at work focusing both on the seminal and current literature on the topic and practical suggestions for best practices for organizations. With contributions from leading experts authors address the state-of-the-art research and integrate current events that are shaping the way we work and our wellbeing at work.
