Michigan Employer's Guide: A Handbook of Employment Laws and Regulations
Mark S. Summers , and Michele A. Potts Manufacturer: Summers Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Ring-bound ASIN: 0962596930 |
Book Description
This book concerns the most important relationship most people have outside the family: the relationship between an employer and an employee. That relationship is crisscrossed by a complex web of laws and regulations. This book describes those laws in a direct, straightforward fashion.The Michigan Employer's Guide provides the "lay of the land" of personnel law and regulations and integrates the state and federal law that is relevant to an employer. Each section of the book attempts to include both the underlying concept and a simple, straightforward rule.
This book is written in small, self-contained sections. The reader does not need to refer to the rest of the chapter, much less the rest of the book, to find information about a topic. Although this method of writing causes some duplication, it more than repays the reader in the efficiency of its use.
The Michigan Employer's Guide is supplemented at least yearly, and more often if major legislation or court cases require. In order to incorporate updated pages easily, the book is published in a three-ring notebook. The Michigan Employer's Guide is, and will continue to be, one of the most current employment law books available anywhere in the nation.
"Memo English" is used throughout this book. Whenever possible, the author has avoided terms not found regularly in a newspaper and discussions that would appear out-of-place in a business memo. This book is a non-technical discussion of technical topics.

The Forgotten Fifth: African Americans in the Age of Revolution (The Nathan I. Huggins Lectures)
Gary B. Nash Manufacturer: Harvard University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0674021932 |
Book Description
As the United States gained independence, a full fifth of the country's population was African American. The experiences of these men and women have been largely ignored in the accounts of the colonies' glorious quest for freedom. In this compact volume, Gary B. Nash reorients our understanding of early America, and reveals the perilous choices of the founding fathers that shaped the nation's future.
Nash tells of revolutionary fervor arousing a struggle for freedom that spiraled into the largest slave rebellion in American history, as blacks fled servitude to fight for the British, who promised freedom in exchange for military service. The Revolutionary Army never matched the British offer, and most histories of the period have ignored this remarkable story. The conventional wisdom says that abolition was impossible in the fragile new republic. Nash, however, argues that an unusual convergence of factors immediately after the war created a unique opportunity to dismantle slavery. The founding fathers' failure to commit to freedom led to the waning of abolitionism just as it had reached its peak. In the opening decades of the nineteenth century, as Nash demonstrates, their decision enabled the ideology of white supremacy to take root, and with it the beginnings of an irreparable national fissure. The moral failure of the Revolution was paid for in the 1860s with the lives of the 600,000 Americans killed in the Civil War.
The Forgotten Fifth is a powerful story of the nation's multiple, and painful, paths to freedom.

First-Time: The Historical Vision of an Afro-American People (Johns Hopkins Studies in Atlantic History and Culture)

Triumphant Slave revolts. That led to authonomy in 1776.......2002-08-27
History at its Finest.......1999-04-07
However, in writing about topics in colonial American history, one must heed the ever-present danger of Euro-centricity. Most of the non-Europeans who took part in the creation of colonial societies (e.g. Africans and Native Americans) are all too silent in the available sources. Because of this, many scholars tend to rely too heavily on European perspectives. On the other hand, some have adopted the opposite extreme and have relied almost solely on non-European accounts when available.
Richard Price, in examining the early history of the Saramaka maroons of Suriname with his 1983 work First-Time: The Historical Vision of an Afro-American People, is fortunately able to find the mean between these extremes. The strength of Price's book lies in its respect for non-European views, its impartiality, and its truth-seeking. Price makes explicit the extant importance of the Saramaka's oral history, not only the history itself, but also the manner in which the Saramaka preserve it. However, while he uses the Saramaka versions of events as a framework, Price is always sure to corroborate these accounts with "documentary" or "archival" evidence, and when he is unable to do so, he candidly alerts the reader. Price has a hunger for the truth. He often researches the most subtle details of Saramaka stories in order to provide the reader with a fuller story. These details are often also linked by Price to historical realities and conditions that are easily overlooked in a reading of the Saramaka accounts.
Finally, I was impressed by the structure of the book- each page divided into two halves: the top sections containing a piece of Saramaka oral history, the bottom halves analyzing and critiquing these accounts using all other available sources and discussing their importance in Saramaka history and to the Saramaka people despite their flaws and inaccuracies.
Overall, Price's work is a valuable asset to the collective history of colonial America, and a seeming treasure for the Saramaka people today.

Fantastic resource for learning and reviewing anatomy.......2003-09-18
Instead of relying solely on illustrations (as the venerable "Gray's Anatomy" does), this atlas also employs superb photographs from cadavers and selected radiographs. But let's go back to the illustrations. These detailed, finely rendered color illustrations set this atlas apart. Pairing these with the photographs allows one to clearly see structures, tissues, and organs.
A brief but thorough user's guide clearly explains how to effectively use this atlas. Armed with an understanding of how of how the images are labeled, what nomenclature is used, and which abbreviations have been appropriated, even a lay person can set off to explore the inner structures of the human body.
Note that, as the preface states, this test "is foremost a visual guide and interactive learning resource to be used in conjunction with a clinical anatomy book." Hence, one must not expect this book to explain the role and function of the body's various systems and structures.
Human interior designýwhat is digastric?.......2001-07-07
Is there a doctor or nurse in your story?
The renderings of cadavers show the entire system of nerves, muscles, tendons, veins, arteries, etc. Therefore, if your character is hiking, falls, and breaks a bone you can be very specific about the break and how it affects the surrounding tissue. Was the bone an ulna or a fibula? The first is a broken arm, and it is possible that both major bones (second is radius) are broken. If repelling down a cliff wall in order to get away from a pack of wolves is part of the story, how will s/he do it? What muscles and tendons are affected by the break? The second is a leg bone between the knee and ankle; if this and the femur are broken, do the bones protrude through the skin? Can s/he stand, walk, or crawl?
What I specifically like about this book is the ability to describe the details surrounding any body part because I can see it. The diagrams are clearly labeled in each of the sections, which are the Trunk --Body Wall and Spine, Thorax, Abdomen, Pelvis and Perineum, Lower Limb, Upper Limb, Head and Neck, and Cranial and Autonomic Nerves.
Remember, if the digastric is inflamed, the culprit could be a rusty nail that caused lockjaw because there is no vaccine available. For my research, this is book is five stars.
