This paper is concerned with corporate responses to grievances held by local communities in resource extractive settings. Across the pathologies, the common denominator is the corporate propensity to avoid recognising the legitimacy of a local grievance and the source of its cause. In practice, however, it is fiction, illegibility and invisibility that dominate. These managerial systems, or operational-level grievance mechanisms, map the procedural contours of how a local grievance would travel once it is made visible to the company. Our contention is that the grievance landscape is far more critical to understanding environmental, human rights, and mining interactions than the managerial systems that companies construct to signal compliance with voluntary international norms. The arguments draw on classic and contemporary literature on “grievance”, “right” and “entitlement”, and the authors’ own sustained engagement with global mining companies and local communities. This paper focuses on the complex operational and organisational settings in which grievances arise and the industrial pathologies that form around resource development projects. Grievance landscapes form in rapidly industrialising contexts where social and environmental impacts are inevitable.

He can’t read music very well, and he can’t improvise. Illustrations by the author not seen.īlack sixth-grader Jake Liston can only play one song on the piano. Whether some adults will find this morally unregenerative, still it's a thoroughly realistic story with lost of very funny scenes and commentaries, and it features one of the hardest to handle, easiest to like heroines in a long time. There's a (nicely handled) visit to a psychiatrist and then a letter from Miss Golly who gives her some pragmatic advice-"sometimes you have to lie" or apologize. After Miss Golly leaves to get married, things go very poorly Harriet's journal is found by her classmates who pillory her when they read what she has said about them. She lives in the city with her parents, generally not around, Miss Golly the nursemaid she had almost outgrown, and she spends all her time annotating what she sees since she wants to be a writer and a ""spy and know everything."" In any case, she often knows too much and this Junior Miss Pinkerton is seen inserting herself everywhere- even in dumbwaiters. Harriet is an 11-year-old snub-nosed gamin with an elephant child curiosity and, let's face it, a noticing eye that runs to nastiness. Now Chloe wants answers from the woman whose words command the loyalty of millions-and she's ready to storm the top-secret sanctuary known as the Clean Room to get them.īut there's more to Astrid Mueller than Chloe could ever imagine-and the truth that she's about to discover is more astonighing than any of Astrid's accomplishments, and more terrifying than any of her novels.įrom the mind of superstar writer Gail Simone and gifted artisti Jon Davis-Hunt comes CLEAN ROOM, VOL. Her fiancé was a devoted follower of Mueller, right up to the moment when he blew his brains out while holding a copy of her book. But reporter Chloe Pierce is sure that there's something deeper hiding behind Honest World's facade. That's almost all anyone knows about the movement-or is it a cult?-founded by reclusive guru Astrid Mueller. Now its adherents rule Hollywood while obeying their leader's every command. Its creator started out as an obscure writer of disposable horror fiction who decided to change the world-one mind at a time. Somewhere between the realms of self-help and religion lies the Honest World Foundation. The relationship between Kiara and Nino was steady. Especially, learning about why she is the way she is, or in better words what became of her in order to survive. I even had some tearful moments reading her story. I loved watching her grow and heal from her past. Call me sensitive but I see it that way.Īnd Kiara. Even though Kiara gave Nino permission to sleep with other women, it still is cheating to me. One of the reasons I didn't really feel as much for him like I did with the others because, just like Luca, Nina cheated on Kiara during their marriage. He is portrayed as a very interesting character and but not my favorite of all Reilly's male characters. But the whole book seemed more like a 'how to make this no-emotion guy feel emotion in the last 10 percent of the book'. I would have liked it if there would have been some subplot that would have challenged him on a professional level as well.

It was really was fighting hard to be a slow-burn but it just didn't fall for it for me. But this one sadly disappointed in that aspect. It's what I have come to expect from Cora Reilly's mafia books. I expected more action or at least a hiccup in the end before they get their HEA, which is typical in these kind of books. It started strong and very promising, but then sadly fizzled out.

So while his Ted Lasso colleagues were losing their minds – Brett Goldstein, the British actor who plays hard-nut ex-footballer Roy Kent, later admitted he was freaking out about what to do with his hands and spent the whole time trying not to swear – Sudeikis remained calm, somewhat. One of his beats was impersonating politicians, and Sudeikis made recurring appearances as George W Bush and Joe Biden, when he was vice-president to Barack Obama, in a mocked-up version of the same room. Before he was the creator and star of Apple TV+’s feelgood global sensation Ted Lasso, he spent almost a decade writing and performing sketch comedy on the US show Saturday Night Live.

Nor in any other of his writings is the attempt made to interweave life and speculation, or to connect politics with philosophy. Nowhere in Plato is there a deeper irony or a greater wealth of humor or imagery, or more dramatic power. But no other Dialogue of Plato has the same largeness of view and the same perfection of style no other shows an equal knowledge of the world, or contains more of those thoughts which are new as well as old, and not of one age only but of all. There are nearer approaches to modern metaphysics in the Philebus and in the Sophist the Politicus or Statesman is more ideal the form and institutions of the State are more clearly drawn out in the Laws as works of art, the Symposium and the Protagoras are of higher excellence. The Republic of Plato is the longest of his works with the exception of the Laws, and is certainly the greatest of them. 2 Plato, Republic Book 1 The Republic by Plato Translated by Benjamin Jowett Book I But Meg is finding out that living among the Others is confusing as she is still learning the rules on how to be human…and free.

The command of fire has defined and sustained us as a species – understanding its abuse will define our future.Ī powerful real-life thriller written with Hooper’s trademark lyric detail and nuance, The Arsonist is a reminder that in an age of fire, all of us are gatekeepers. It is also the story of fire in Australia, and of a community that owed its existence to that very element. The Arsonist takes readers on the hunt for this man, and inside the strange puzzle of his mind. But the detectives soon found themselves on the trail of a man they didn’t know. In the Valley, where the rates of crime were the highest in the state, more than thirty people were known to police as firebugs. On the scorching February day in 2009 that became known as Black Saturday, a man lit two fires in Victoria’s Latrobe Valley, then sat on the roof of his house to watch the inferno.

The later books have turned what once was a sci-fi/fantasy with werewolves and Angelic bird kids trying to survive on their own because adults are either useless or evil, into a green-peace adventure that has the kids going from Werewolf fighting to saving penguins in the Antarctic. It'd take too long to explain, and becomes so nonsensical that there's no way the author could ever explain it without using the whole "It was just a simulation" cliche, which he seems to be surely working his way towards, and used once.
