Adverse Impact Analysis
Compliance with federal equal employment opportunity regulations, including civil rights laws and affirmative action requirements, requires collection and analysis of data on disparities in employment outcomes, often referred to as adverse impact. While most human resources (HR) practitioners are familiar with basic adverse impact analysis, the courts and regulatory agencies are increasingly relying on more sophisticated methods to assess disparities. Employment data are often complicated, and can include a broad array of employment actions (e.g., selection, pay, promotion, termination), as well as data that span multiple protected groups, settings, and points in time. In the era of "big dat...

White Man's Problems
Short stories by an author who offers “shrewd, bitingly funny commentary on his own privileged class” (Time). In nine stories that move between nouveau riche Los Angeles and the working class East Coast, and strike a balance between comedy and catastrophe, Kevin Morris explores the vicissitudes of modern life. Whether looking for creative ways to let off steam after a day in court or enduring chaperone duties on a school field trip to the nation’s capital, the heroes of White Man’s Problems struggle to navigate the challenges that accompany marriage, family, success, failure, growing up, and getting older. “Kevin Morris is that rare writer who bridges the class divide, illuminating...
Food and Package Engineering
For the first time, engineering for the packaging industry – and for the biggest packaging user, food processing – is presented in a way that clearly demonstrates its interconnected, globally integrated nature. Food and Package Engineering is a groundbreaking work that serves as a comprehensive guide to the complexities and the potential of the industry. Packaging draws on nearly every aspect of science, technology, business, social science, and engineering. Rather than present a traditionally linear view of these topics, the author takes a "Packaging Cycle" approach by guiding readers through the life of the package from raw materials and conversion, operations, distribution, retail, al...
Absent All Remorse
Following the death of her beloved Gran, former Navy JAG officer Charlotte Morris went through some terrible times. She’d become practically a recluse when her best friend, Tanya, dragged her from an emotional coma and taught Charley how to live again. Now, Tanya has been abducted, and the apparent perpetrators have far-reaching, international sway. Joshua Williams was a commissioned officer in the United States Navy for eighteen years. He lived the dream, serving his country while seeing exotic, exciting places. Then, tragedy struck, and Josh sought a reason to keep going. He has now been assigned to assist Charley in her search for Tanya—whether he likes it or not. Charley joins forces with Josh, whom she must trust with her life despite her better instincts. She’s still not sure what politics have to do with Tanya’s abduction, but she doesn’t really care, so long as she can get Tanya back alive. Their investigation takes Charley and Josh halfway around the world, and as they grow closer to their culprit, they also grow closer to each other. However, pursuing Tanya’s captors means pursuing the world’s super powers. This could end in war.

Detraditionalization

Everyday Post-Socialism
This book offers a rich ethnographic account of blue-collar workers’ everyday life in a central Russian industrial town coping with simultaneous decline and the arrival of transnational corporations. Everyday Post-Socialism demonstrates how people manage to remain satisfied, despite the crisis and relative poverty they faced after the fall of socialist projects and the social trends associated with neoliberal transformation. Morris shows the ‘other life’ in today’s Russia which is not present in mainstream academic discourse or even in the media in Russia itself. This book offers co-presence and a direct understanding of how the local community lives a life which is not only bearable, but also preferable and attractive when framed in the categories of ‘habitability’, commitment and engagement, and seen in the light of alternative ideas of worth and specific values. Topics covered include working-class identity, informal economy, gender relations and transnational corporations.
