In 1994, the mountain territory of Chechnya was witness to the largest military campaign staged on Russian soil since World War II. The Russo-Chechen war is examined within the context of the bitter history between the two peoples, culminating in the expression of conflict from 1994-1996.
In Working towards Equity, Dustin Galer argues that paid work significantly shaped the experience of disability during the late twentieth century. Using a critical analysis of disability in archival records, personal collections, government publications and a series of interviews, Galer demonstrates how demands for greater access among disabled people for paid employment stimulated the development of a new discourse of disability in Canada. Family advocates helped people living in institutions move out into the community as rehabilitation professionals played an increasingly critical role in the lives of working-age adults with disabilities. Meanwhile, civil rights activists crafted a new consumer-led vision of social and economic integration. Employment was, and remains, a central component in disabled peoples' efforts to become productive, autonomous and financially secure members of Canadian society. Working towards Equity offers new in-depth analysis on rights activism as it relates to employment, sheltered workshops, deinstitutionalization and labour markets in the contemporary context in Canada.

Sarah has a book, and she is not afraid to use it. She wants to know more about the universe than what the Elders seem to know. There are powers waiting for her outside the simple village life that is all she has known. From orbit, Captain Marshall is on the lookout for someone like her. Genetic engineering gone wrong came close to making humans extinct. Everyone thought telepathy would bring new ways of solving humanity's problems. At last, an egalitarian society beckoned. Instead, the enhancements unleashed a psychotic storm of violence. The Great Catastrophe had befallen human society. When people saw the mundane evil of their neighbours they went on the attack. Everywhere, people turned on one another. The killing went on unabated until a fix reversed some of the damage done. Humanity had to leave Earth behind. The risk has hardly lessened in more than three hundred years of resettlement. Sarah's explorations threaten to undo the truce in killing. Now Captain Marshall must deal with her all alone.

This book is about how people construct career stories: the stories we use to make sense of our work life. Mark Scillio explores the idea of security in the current turbulent employment climate, investigating employment experiences in developed, wealthy countries like Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom—where careers have become fragmented, complex, and uncertain. Using Anthony Giddens’ notion of ontological security, Scillio develops a concept of career security that goes beyond economic and financial concerns and encompasses the personal and social meaning of work. The ramifications of succeeding (or failing) to forge a good career narrative are explored through a series of detailed case studies.
