From an award-winning biographer, a riveting and deeply researched portrait of Mormonism’s charismatic founder

Turner John G.: Joseph Smith

The Rise and Fall of an American Prophet

A rich history of the development of American minimum wage policy with lessons for today. Despite broad popular support for robust minimum wage policy, the federal minimum wage is now worth less--in real, inflation-adjusted terms--than at any time since 1949. While some state and local governments have stepped in to fill this void, others have declined to set any minimum wage standard at all. Traversing more than 100 years of history, Raising the Floor examines how interest groups have navigated the highly decentralized American political system to shape the development of federal, state, and local minimum wage laws. In her analysis, Shanna Rose highlights the importance of American federalism. She argues that because federalism creates multiple arenas for policy change, interest groups have sought out the sites most conducive to their goals, shifting their lobbying efforts as new obstacles and opportunities emerge. Federalism has facilitated minimum wage policymaking by fostering policy experimentation, learning, and diffusion across states and by allowing state and local governments to overcome gridlock and status-quo biases at the national level. Yet, federalism has also been an instrument for containment, enabling those opposed to minimum wage increases to litigate and preempt local-level laws. With rich historical chapters that illuminate different phases in the development of today's patchwork of wage standards, Raising the Floor is a deep examination of the past, present, and future of American minimum wage law.

Raising the Floor

This groundbreaking volume shatters many longstanding myths about the Declaration of Independence. Although states-rights advocates have long claimed that the Declaration created thirteen independent nations, Carlton F. W. Larson shows that the Declaration announced the birth of a new nation: the United States of America, a nation governed by an unwritten constitution in which the states were confederated and subject to national authority from the very beginning. Larson counters libertarian claims that the Declaration views government as a necessary evil, demonstrating instead how it embraces constitutionalism, active government, and the rule of law as positive goods. Along the way, Larson debunks other myths, such as the notion that the Declaration is the parchment text enshrined in the National Archives and that it was authored by Thomas Jefferson. By exploring the true meaning of the Declaration of Independence, One Nation Under Law helps us better understand America itself.

Routledge Environmental History

Providing an in-depth exploration into the rivers of Habsburg Galicia (part of Austrian Poland) in the 19th century, this volume combines analysis of historical hydrographic data with modern GIS and remote sensing tools.Considering geographical and historical factors, the book draws on both natural processes and human activities, to analyse how river valleys function and highlight contemporary challenges relating to water resource management in the context of climate change. The collection is divided into four parts, Rivers, Flow, Control, and Economy. The first part consists of studies on rivers in Galicia from geographical, borderland, legislative and literary perspectives. The second deals with the floods that regularly affected Galicia in the 19th and 20th centuries, causing significant economic and social damage, providing pertinent parallels with current issues in the context of climate change. The third part analyses the actions of the state and autonomous authorities, aimed at controlling rivers through regulation, the construction of flood embankments, and the drainage of wetlands. The final part includes studies on the role of rivers in the economic life.This is a detailed and fascinating examination for scholars and students interested in Eastern European environmental history, hydrology, environmental management and water resource governance, and environmental economics.

Newly revised and redesigned, this is the human history of the company that powered the development of the electric system in British Columbia—and in turn played an integral role in shaping the province. “A utility is a thing with a heartbeat—a steady beat of progress brought about not by water and wire, turbines and transformers, but by all the people who put our resources and equipment to the benefit of all.”—Sam Weston of the BC Power Commission From its earliest days in colonial Victoria to the initiation of the massive Site C power project in 2015, BC Hydro and its predecessor companies have played a central role in the history of British Columbia. Told through the voices of its employees over three different centuries, Gaslights to Gigawatts recounts the story of the people and projects that delivered power–and much more–to the citizens of the province. It opens in an era when the gas street lamps were lit by hand each evening, covers the decades when the company offered a remarkable array of services to more and more of the province, and finishes in a century when advanced technologies and societal expectations have dramatically altered the way power is delivered to British Columbians. First published in 1998, Gaslights to Gigawatts was a BC Bestseller. This edition brings the story up to date with new interviews and a contemporary design, and includes more than 200 black-and-white and full-colour archival photographs and illustrations, a glossary, chronology, and index. Proceeds from the sale of this book go to the BC Hydro Power Pioneers Miracle Millions Campaign for BC Children’s Hospital.

Gaslights to Gigawatts

And wonderfully blunt. This is just a small sampling of the reasons we love Diane Keaton, and they all permeate the pages of her new memoir' Elle 'A brilliant actress who time and again laid herself bare to tell our stories' Nancy Meyers 'Her influence on culture, fashion, art and women can't be overstated' Elizabeth Banks
