Temporary Works Principles of Design and Construction (2024)


Free Download Murray Grant, Peter Pallett, "Temporary Works: Principles of Design and Construction"
English | 2012 | ISBN: 0727741772 | PDF | pages: 379 | 52.4 mb
Temporary works have long been the poor relation of the construction process. Only when spectacular accidents have occurred, resulting in injuries and deaths, have they been given wide attention by the industry and the popular press. Yet there is little in the construction field that can be building without their use. Indeed, they form the interface between design and construction. Fully up-to-date with acts, codes (including Eurocodes), CDM regulations and forms of contract, Temporary Works presents a valuable reference to the method and theory, providing ideas and solutions for all aspects of temporary works.

Enduring Work Experiences with Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker Program


Free Download Enduring Work: Experiences with Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker Program by Catherine E. Connelly
English | May 15, 2023 | ISBN: 0228016681 | 228 pages | PDF | 2.69 Mb
If you believed most of what’s said about the Canadian Temporary Foreign Worker program, you might naturally assume that there is a trade-off between workers’ poor experiences with the program and employers’ significant benefits. In reality, the experiences of workers are far worse than is commonly acknowledged, while employers are not reaping as much benefit as the public might suppose.In Enduring Work Catherine Connelly draws on over one hundred interviews with people connected to different aspects of this program, analyzing their experiences from the perspective of organizational behaviour and human resources management. She compares the lived reality of agricultural workers, in-home caregivers, and low- and high-wage workers, showing how and why each group is vulnerable to mistreatment, albeit in different ways. She further explores how employment agencies and immigration consultants contribute to program abuses. Critically, Enduring Work provides the perspectives of employers, distinguishing between the reluctant users of the program who follow the rules and the reckless users who do not.Groundbreaking in its analysis of an issue very much in the news, Enduring Work unpacks the harms within Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker program and offers nuanced strategies to improve it.

The Yiddish Stage As a Temporary Home Dzigan and Shumacher’s Satirical Theater 1927-1980


Free Download Diego Rotman, "The Yiddish Stage As a Temporary Home: Dzigan and Shumacher’s Satirical Theater 1927-1980"
English | ISBN: 3110717425 | 2021 | 380 pages | EPUB, PDF | 6 MB + 3 MB
The Yiddish Theater Stage as a Temporary Home takes us through the fascinating life and career of the most important comic duo in Yiddish Theater, Shimen Dzigan and Isroel Shumacher. Spanning over the course of half a century – from the beginning of their work at the Ararat avant-garde Yiddish theater in Lodz, Poland to their Warsaw theatre – they produced bold, groundbreaking political satire. The book further discusses their wanderings through the Soviet Union during the Second World War and their attempt to revive Jewish culture in Poland after the Holocaust. It finally describes their time in Israel, first as guest performers and later as permanent residents. Despite the restrictions on Yiddish actors in Israel, the duo insisted on performing in their language and succeeded in translating the new Israeli reality into unique and timely satire. In the 1950s, they voiced a unique – among the Hebrew stages – political and cultural critique. Dzigan continued to perform on his own and with other Israeli artists until his death in 1980.

Marko Batista Temporary Objects and Hybrid Ambients


Free Download Andreja Hribernik, Janez Janša, "Marko Batista: Temporary Objects and Hybrid Ambients"
English | 2014 | ISBN: 1312684739 | PDF | pages: 98 | 66.3 mb
Marko Batista is an artist working at the intersection of science and art. By creating hybrid technological, electromagnetic or chemical systems, he confronts the mystification of technology while also opening up new ways of thinking about technology. With his experimental systems, which bring together the abovementioned fields, he expands the sphere of human perception and the phenomenology of unstable audio-visual systems in space and time. This book brings together four different perspectives on Marko Batista’s work. Jurij Krpan’s text analyses Marko Batista’s work chronologically and positions it in the Slovenian as well as the broader cultural space. Andreja Hribernik tackles the artist’s work from the perspective of theoretical starting-points. This is taken up by Ida Hiršenfelder, who analyses Batista’s work primarily in light of the development of contemporary technologies and DIY principles. Rounding out the book, Luka Zagoričnik’s text describes the artist’s works from the perspective of sound.
