De acordo com a OIT, a cada ano, em algum lugar do mundo, 317 milhões de trabalhadores sofrem acidente do trabalho e 160 milhões recebem o diagnóstico de que têm alguma enfermidade relacionada ao seu trabalho. A cada 15 segundos, um trabalhador morre em razão do trabalho. Nesse cenário, a depressão já se consolida como a principal causa de afastamento do trabalho, caminhando para assumir o pódio das doenças mais incapacitantes do mundo. Daí decorre um prejuízo óbvio ao doente e sua família, mas, também, um enorme prejuízo social e econômico. Estudos revelam que somente no ano de 2010 a depressão representou um custo mundial de US$ 800 bilhões – prejudicando especialmente...
Oscar and Lilian Handlin show how the new voyagers in the twentieth century--from Asia, Africa, Australia, and Latin America--record their experiences in the United States.

In this exceptional collection of dispatches from occupied Donbas, writer and journalist Stanislav Aseyev details the internal and external changes observed in the cities of Makiïvka and Donetsk in eastern Ukraine. Aseyev scrutinizes his immediate environment and questions himself in an attempt to understand the reasons behind the success of Russian propaganda among the working-class residents of the industrial region of Donbas. In this work of documentary prose, Aseyev focuses on the early period of the Russian-sponsored military aggression in Ukraine’s east, the period of 2015–2017. The author’s testimony ends with his arrest for publishing his dispatches and his subsequent imprisonment and torture in a modern-day concentration camp on the outskirts of Donetsk run by lawless mercenaries and local militants with the tacit approval and support of Moscow. For the first time, an inside account is presented here of the toll on real human lives and civic freedoms that the citizens of Europe’s largest country continue to suffer in Russia’s hybrid war on its territory.

Tian, or Heaven, had multiple meanings in early China. It had been used since the Western Zhou to indicate both the sky and the highest god, and later came to be regarded as a force driving the movement of the cosmos and as a home to deities and imaginary animals. By the Han dynasty, which saw an outpouring of visual materials depicting Heaven, the concept of Heaven encompassed an immortal realm to which humans could ascend after death. Using excavated materials, Lillian Tseng shows how Han artisans transformed various notions of Heaven—as the mandate, the fantasy, and the sky—into pictorial entities. The Han Heaven was not indicated by what the artisans looked at, but rather was suggest...
This is a work in both the social history of professional historians, and a sociology of knowledge study of how and why a discipline surrenders the search for truth in favor of assertions of ideological purity. In a frenzied effort to cope with exaggerated claims that the study of history is the high road to statesmanship, citizenship, and good neighbors, historians struggled to innovate. Some became radicalized and threatened to tear the world apart, but the more common response was the assertion that the subject would equip citizens to solve current and future policy problems.
