University of Toronto Press Collected Works of Erasmus
Book SynopsisVolume 79 in the Collected Works of Erasmus series presents two works written by Erasmus in a controversy with the Carthusian monk Pierre Cousturier.Erasmus had ignited controversy throughout Europe with his criticisms of the Vulgate in current use and his attempts to produce better texts and better Latin translations of Scripture, as well as a new version of the Greek New Testament. Erasmus’s work came under the scrutiny of the Paris faculty of theology. The resulting controversy between Erasmus and various Paris theologians culminated in a formal censure of both vernacular translations of the Bible and new Latin translations from Hebrew and Greek sources.In 1522, Pierre Cousturier began to attack humanist translators in a series of publications, arguing for the accuracy and divine inspiration of the commonly used Latin Bible, which rendered further Latin translations unnecessary, even dangerous. The fact that Cousturier had a doctorate in theology from Paris a

University of Toronto Press Local Campaign Behaviour in Canadian Elections
Book SynopsisLocal Campaign Behaviour in Canadian Elections investigates the relationship between the local and national components of Canadian political parties. Jacob Robbins-Kanter emphasizes the significance of local campaigns – often overlooked by scholars, voters, and the media – and examines when and why these campaigns deviate from national directives during federal elections. Grounded in original data, the book explores the intricate dynamics between local campaigns and central party headquarters during Canadian elections, highlighting their cooperation, clashes, and divergences. It reveals the prevalence of undisciplined local campaign behaviour and the underestimated agency of local actors. The book argues that local campaigns retain meaningful agency to make critical decisions, influence election outcomes, and articulate local interests.Drawing on nearly 100 interviews, primary source documents, and data collected as an embedded researcher during the 2019 federal election, Robbins-Kanter delves into the practice of undisciplined local campaign behaviour, which often challenges or diverges from central party directives. Local Campaign Behaviour in Canadian Elections presents a nuanced portrayal of local actors, positioning them as neither entirely autonomous nor merely instruments of a central party apparatus.

MY - University of Toronto Press Diary of an Uncertain Psychic
Book SynopsisIn Diary of an Uncertain Psychic, artist-anthropologist Deena I.J. Newman explores the life and lessons of Elizabeth, a California psychic and radio talk show host. Following the thread of spontaneous inner images, she ties together personal stories and fieldwork experiences in Israel, Ethiopia and the United States. Through vivid graphic narrative, this detailed account tells a story about images through images.In Western culture, the phenomenon of spontaneous inner imagery is often considered unusual or abnormal. Newman challenges this perspective by suggesting that many people experience spontaneous visual, auditory, and kinesthetic imagery and contends that such imagery may be a potential key to understanding psychic and mental processes. She shows how these images may be interpreted differently across different cultures – as spiritual messages, omens, sources of scientific and artistic inspiration, psychological insights, symptoms of mental illness, or si

The University of North Carolina Press The Vice Presidents Black Wife
Book SynopsisAward-winning historian Amrita Chakrabarti Myers has recovered the riveting, troubling, and complicated story of Julia Ann Chinn (ca. 1779 1833), the enslaved wife of Richard Mentor Johnson, owner of Blue Spring Farm, veteran of the War of 1812, and US vice president under Martin Van Buren. Johnson never freed Chinn, but during his frequent absences from his estate, he delegated to her the management of his property, including Choctaw Academy, a boarding school for Indigenous men and boys on the grounds of the estate. This meant that Chinn, although enslaved herself, oversaw Blue Spring's slave labor force and had substantial control over economic, social, financial, and personal affairs within the couple's world. Chinn's relationship with Johnson was unlikely to have been consensual since she was never manumitted. What makes Chinn's life exceptional is the power that Johnson invested in her, the opportunities the couple's relationship afforded her and her daughters, and their community's tacit acceptance of the familyup to a point. When the family left their farm, they faced steep limits: pews at the rear of the church, burial in separate graveyards, exclusion from town dances, and more. Johnson's relationship with Chinn ruined his political career and Myers compellingly demonstrates that it wasn't interracial sex that led to his downfall but his refusal to keep itand Julia Chinnbehind closed doors.

University of Toronto Press The Talent Revolution
Book SynopsisThe Talent Revolution has been pivotal in exposing work-life longevity as the most influential driver transforming today’s workplaces. It offers a competitive edge for organizations smart enough to capitalize on its lessons.In a rare turn from the norm, this book positions older workers as revolutionaries and reveals how intergenerational organizations that engage employees across all life stages will outperform their competitors. In this updated paperback edition, authors Lisa Taylor and Fern Lebo draw on their expertise in leadership and career development to offer a timely picture of the post-pandemic modern workplace – defined by hybrid arrangements, shifting expectations, and evolving employee-employer dynamics. With clarity and precision, they describe new models, debunk commonly held myths about older workers, demolish justifications for traditional structures and attitudes, and build the case for a reset that will help smart companies profit from their most valuable assets, all while taking into consideration our current realities. Through case studies, metrics, strategies, and tactics, The Talent Revolution explores the impact of supercharged workforce demographics on the future of work, and offers new, actionable strategies for transforming an aging workforce into a competitive advantage.Plotting new directions for both organizations and employees, Taylor and Lebo guide us towards the opportunities that come with leaving behind outdated career models and embracing longer working life expectancies in the workplace.

MB - Cornell University Press Reforming Social Services in New York City How Major Change Happens in Urban Welfare Policies
Book SynopsisReforming Social Services in New York City examines efforts across six decades to respond to poverty, joblessness, and homelessness through the establishment and periodic restructuring of the city's Human Resources Administration (HRA) and related social welfare agencies. As Thomas J. Main shows through archival research and interviews with key figures, the HRA has been the focus of several mayoralties. The John Lindsay administration's creation of the HRA in 1966 was a classic liberal effort to fight poverty; Rudy Giuliani brought dramatic change by implementing work-oriented welfare reform; and the Bill de Blasio administration attempted to install a progressive social welfare agenda within the city's social service agencies to reduce inequality. Reforming Social Services in New York City tells the story of these efforts, assessing the strategies employed and the success of their outcomes, concluding that major nonincremental change in urban welfare policy is not only possible but has been effective.
