The announcing of newborns or wedding dates adding to the weight? Would you really go down that path if you had a choice? Kaira thought she was independent from all this too, until age caught up. Suddenly, the whole wardrobe of social media had ramp walks of pregnant friends, photo shoots of newly-weds and wedding bling shining bright in her face. Hmm. This actually does seem enticing, she thought to herself. Is this what I really want though? Maybe it’s because my hair is only going to stay black for a few more years! Oh no, what if I don’t have any hair on my head (She touches the hair on her head) by the time I am 30? Will I die alone?(Her eyes grow wide and her heart pounds louder)What if I am buried alone too?

An illuminating, indispensable analysis of a watershed moment and its possible aftermath. For people and governments around the world, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic seemed to place the preservation of human life at odds with the pursuit of economic and social life. Yet this naive alternative belies the complexity of the entanglements the crisis has created and revealed not just between health and wealth but also around morality, knowledge, governance, culture, and everyday subsistence. Didier Fassin and Marion Fourcade have assembled an eminent team of scholars from across the social sciences to reflect on the myriad ways SARS-CoV-2 has entered, reshaped, or exacerbated existing trends and structures in every part of the globe. The contributors show how the disruptions caused by the pandemic have both hastened the rise of new social divisions and hardened old inequalities and dilemmas. An indispensable volume, Pandemic Exposures provides an illuminating analysis of this watershed moment and its possible aftermath.
Relationship management (RM) is an essential part of business, but its success as a business model can be hard to measure, with some firms embracing a model that is truly relationship-orientated, while others claim to be relationship-orientated but in fact prefer transactional short-term gain. This open access book aims to develop a mid-range theory of relationship management, examining truly relationship-orientated firms to discover not only what qualities these firms have that make them successful at the RM model, but also what benefits this model has for the firm. It addresses questions like how RM-mature companies achieve and sustain competitive advantage, and what determines the scale and scope of these firms, illustrating with case studies. This book will be of interest to scholars studying leadership and strategy, especially those interested in relationship management, business ethics and corporate social responsibility. It will also be of interest to professionals looking to develop their understanding of relationship management.

Biofertilizers emerge as an attractive alternative to chemic...
