Paperback. A compelling investigation into the global race to exploit our world's dwindling natural resources.In order to transition to clean energy in the coming decades, billions of tons of copper, nickel, silver, and other metals will be required to build electric vehicles and green infrastructure, and power smart technology. We need more metals than ever before, yet the qualities and quantities are diminishing, making the extraction process more polluting to land, air and water. And most of these metals will be mined from the global south, where social conflict will only grow, led by Indigenous peoples demanding a greater say in how their wealth is used.In Pitfall, investigative journalist Christopher Pollon charts how transnational companies have controlled copper, precious metals and lithium mining in Latin America, made inroads into war-torn countries in Africa, and extracted nickel, industrial and rare earth metals across Australia, Asia and the Pacific. Industry attention is now moving to deeper and darker places, including the depths of the ocean, sacrifice zones, and near-earth asteroids.The stakes couldn't be higher- How can we mine the metals we need without replicating the environmental and human rights abuses of the past?

This step-by-step practical diagnostic guide takes a fresh look at inflammatory skin disorders by focusing on the practicalities of correlating the histopathologic and clinical features, and highlighting useful diagnostic tips and potential pitfalls. Covering a wide range of both common and rare but critically important inflammatory skin disorders, it outlines their clinical and microscopic features, including histopathologic variations.

The book is packaged with a password, giving the user online access to all the text and images.

Perils and Pitfalls of California Employment Law provides a detailed and thorough summary of the key substantive employment laws in the Golden State and discusses the ways in which they most differ from the federal statutes that guide most of the rest of the country. Author Matthew S. Effland approaches this topic from the perspective of an experienced HR professional who is tasked with managing a workforce in California for the first time by asking basic questions, such as How do California’s wage and hour laws compare with the federal Fair Labor Standards Act standards? How is overtime treated? Are the risks of violating the harassment laws greater in California than elsewhere? What about California’s privacy rights? Medical marijuana laws? Background check limitations? To answer these questions, and more, the book is divided into five chapters. The first two chapters deal with the most fundamental of issues—what it means to be an “employee” in California, and how to schedule and pay employees. It then turns to a discussion of the requirements found in California’s primary antidiscrimination and harassment statute, the FEHA, and how it significantly expands the rights of employees well beyond what is found in the various federal employment laws. This is followed by considering California’s numerous leave of absence laws as the state goes far beyond anything the federal government requires and provides a dozen different forms of protected leave. Finally, the book concludes with a “day in the life” of a California HR director. Follow HR Manager Shelia on her journey through a typical day in the world of HR management as she hits on many of the other laws that companies run into on a daily basis in the Golden State.

Urban decay and suburban sprawl have become major issues throughout the country. Increasingly even small towns are being hollowed out and seem destined to end up as "inner-city" slums. One remedy is to prevent, or reverse, the decline of the older retail shopping districts. This is easier said than done. Ed Crow has spent his career studying what works – and what doesn’t. He was instrumental in the revitalization of Manayunk; a decaying mill town has been turned into a vibrant restaurant and shopping district. In this book, Mr. Crow shows how it was done, but he doesn’t stop there. He gives other examples to show what can go wrong. All this is distilled into an action plan which can be applied elsewhere. Any group with concerns about its own retail district can profit from Ed’s experiences.
