Sinopsis

In a rapidly changing world of work, labor movements are facing unprecedented challenges. Globalization, technological change, and the erosion of labor laws have all contributed to a decline in union membership and a weakening of workers' bargaining power. Yet, despite these challenges, there are also signs of hope for the future of labor. A new generation of activists is using social media and other online tools to organize and mobilize workers, and they are winning victories on issues such as wages, benefits, and working conditions.

This book provides a comprehensive examination of labor movements in the 21st century. It explores the challenges and opportunities facing labor movements today, and it offers recommendations for how labor movements can adapt to the changing world of work. The book also provides case studies of successful labor movements from around the world, including the Fight for Fifteen movement in the United States, the resurgence of labor unions in South Korea, and the migrant worker movement in Qatar.

This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the changing world of work and the role that labor movements can play in shaping a more just and equitable future. It is also a valuable resource for labor activists, union leaders, and anyone who is interested in the history and future of labor movements.

In this book, you will learn about:

* The history of labor movements, from the first stirrings of worker unrest in the early 19th century to the rise of powerful unions in the 20th century.
* The challenges and opportunities facing labor movements in the 21st century, including globalization, technological change, and the erosion of labor laws.
* How labor movements can adapt to the changing world of work, including by using social media and other online tools to organize and mobilize workers.
* Case studies of successful labor movements from around the world, including the Fight for Fifteen movement in the United States, the resurgence of labor unions in South Korea, and the migrant worker movement in Qatar.

    This book consists of 4 titles, which are the following: 
    History of Bulgaria - The history of Bulgaria is rich and complex, tracing its roots from the earliest settlements in the region to its emergence as a modern nation-state. The story of the Bulgarian people is intertwined with their origins, showcasing a diverse tapestry of cultures, languages, and traditions that have evolved over millennia. 
    History of Hungary - The history of ancient Hungary begins well before the arrival of the Hungarians themselves, tracing back to the Iron Age and the early cultural developments in the Carpathian Basin. Around 800 BC, the Iron Age began to shape this region, with the emergence of "Thraco-Cimmerian" artifact types that suggested a significant overlap between the pre-Scythian cultures (Novocherkassk culture) and the pre-Celtic Hallstatt culture. This cultural intermingling marked the beginning of a complex interplay between indigenous peoples and incoming groups. 
    History of Romania - The earliest evidence of human habitation in what is now Romania dates back to prehistoric times, but one of the first recorded mentions comes from the writings of the ancient Greek historian Herodotus. In his work Histories, Book IV, written around 440 BC, Herodotus described the Getae, a Thracian tribe residing in the region that would later become Romania. According to Herodotus, the Getae were defeated by Persian Emperor Darius the Great during his military campaign against the Scythians. 
    History of Ukraine - The early history of the territory now known as Ukraine is marked by a series of ancient cultures and civilizations that shaped the region's development before and during the Dark Ages. The area was initially inhabited by the Dacians, a group known for their connections to the wider Thracian culture, alongside various nomadic tribes such as the Cimmerians, Scythians, and Sarmatians.

    You may think you know the stories behind the world's most well-known, groundbreaking achievements, but To Her Credit is here to make you reevaluate our collective story. This book celebrates the stories of women, from ancient times until the 1990s, whose contributions have been overwritten and accredited to men. 
     
     
     
    The pattern of female achievements being stolen, overwritten, or straight-up ignored is as old as time. Authors Kaitlin Culmo and Emily McDermott reclaim the work of these heroines and offer reminders of what we lose when we don't question history as it has been written.

    It's time to talk about the thousands of years' worth of art, inventions, innovations, and world-changing achievements made by women that have been ascribed to men.

    Benedict Spinoza's 'A Theologico-Political Treatise' challenges prevailing religious and political dogmas of his time. With bold reasoning, Spinoza advocates for intellectual freedom, questioning the role of theology in governance. This seminal work lays the groundwork for secularism, advocating for a state where reason prevails over religious authority. A visionary treatise, it remains a cornerstone in discussions on freedom, politics, and the separation of church and state. Read in English, unabridged.
