BOOK EXCERPT:
Behaviour at work can no longer be stereotyped as global or local – modern or traditional – with very little in-between. Instead work behaviour is a complex interplay between Global and Local values. It takes place in a Glocality. Thus individual achievement co-exists with group aspirations, pay diversity takes place in a social context, teamwork reflects cultural narrative, and labour mobility is bound by community bias. Globalization and Culture at Work: Exploring their Combined Glocality breaks new ground by exploring such glocalities, and the implications they create for managing human potential better. The volume is essential reading for researchers, managers, culturalists and consultants of work behaviour alike.

BOOK EXCERPT:
Globalization challenges social work with constant social change, making a social worker's job and the task of social work education more complex and uncertain. Post-modern thinking suggests that social workers must learn to cope with complexity in ways that are in tension with the increasingly managerialist organization of the social services. The authors explore and question the concepts of 'postmodern', 'international' and 'global' in light of growing interest in international social work in the early 21st century. Emphasizing the importance of critical reflection, they argue that educational colonization can be challenged and effective anti-discriminatory and pro-equality practice and education promoted. Each chapter provides direct examples of how students and academics can apply these ideas in practice and in their learning, and how they can respond to and influence the challenges and changes that are taking place. The authors also examine educational and practice issues arising from attempts to incorporate international understanding into national practice and education systems. The book is designed to be stimulating to academics interested in international social work while remaining accessible to practitioners and students without international experience.

BOOK EXCERPT:
""Ill at Work: Navigating Health Challenges in the Modern Workplace"" explores the crucial intersection of personal health and professional life in today's fast-paced work culture. This comprehensive guide delves into the phenomenon of presenteeism - working while ill - and its far-reaching impacts on individuals, organizations, and society at large. The book examines the physiological, psychological, and economic consequences of pushing through illness at work, offering a balanced perspective on this complex issue. Through a blend of medical research, case studies, and economic analyses, ""Ill at Work"" presents a compelling argument for a paradigm shift in how we approach health in the professional sphere. It traces the evolution of sick leave policies and explores cultural attitudes towards illness and work across the globe. The book is structured in three parts, progressing from the introduction of presenteeism to its multifaceted consequences, and finally to practical solutions for creating healthier work environments. What sets this book apart is its holistic approach, considering not just individual responsibility but also the roles of organizational culture, societal expectations, and policy frameworks. Written in an accessible yet authoritative style, it offers valuable insights for working professionals, managers, and policymakers alike, making it an essential resource for anyone seeking to navigate the complex balance between health and work in the modern era.

BOOK EXCERPT:
Social and cultural anthropology and archaeology are rich subjects with deep connections in the social and physical sciences. Over the past 150 years, the subject matter and different theoretical perspectives have expanded so greatly that no single individual can command all of it. Consequently, both advanced students and professionals may be confronted with theoretical positions and names of theorists with whom they are only partially familiar, if they have heard of them at all. Students, in particular, are likely to turn to the web to find quick background information on theorists and theories. However, most web-based information is inaccurate and/or lacks depth. Students and professionals need a source to provide a quick overview of a particular theory and theorist with just the basics—the "who, what, where, how, and why," if you will. In response, SAGE Reference plans to publish the two-volume Theory in Social and Cultural Anthropology: An Encyclopedia. Features & Benefits: Two volumes containing approximately 335 signed entries provide users with the most authoritative and thorough reference resource available on anthropology theory, both in terms of breadth and depth of coverage. To ease navigation between and among related entries, a Reader's Guide groups entries thematically and each entry is followed by Cross-References. In the electronic version, the Reader's Guide combines with the Cross-References and a detailed Index to provide robust search-and-browse capabilities. An appendix with a Chronology of Anthropology Theory allows students to easily chart directions and trends in thought and theory from early times to the present. Suggestions for Further Reading at the end of each entry and a Master Bibliography at the end guide readers to sources for more detailed research and discussion.
