In this major new work, Michael J. Moore and W. Kip Viscusi explore the question, "How are workers compensated for exposing themselves to the risk of physical injury while on the job?" The authors detail the diverse nature of labor market responses to job risks and the important role played by compensation-for-risk mechanisms. Following an overview of the literature, they present a number of unprecedented results. Comprehensive and systematic discussions of issues such as wage-risk tradeoffs, the effects of workers' compensation on wages and risk, the role of unions, and the role of product liability suits in job-related injuries make the volume an essential work for all those interested in risk policy and workplace safety. Among the major results presented for the first time are the first estimates of the value of life derived from recently released occupational fatality risk data from the National Traumatic Occupational Fatality Survey. From these same data the authors also demonstrate that higher workers' compensation benefit levels significantly reduce fatalities on the job--a finding that challenges virtually every other treatment of this topic.

Описание: This new volume starts with a detailed Introduction that discusses key points of war and military history beginning with ancient civilizations. A broad historical overview of war and the military explores early warfare, why wars are started, anti-war movements and protests, military spending, and the modern fluctuation of military support. A comprehensive Timeline highlights significant events from the establishment of the first policing systems in antiquity to the United States withdrawing their remaining troops from Afghanistan in 2021.
The 28 chapters that follow begin with the formation of a national American army by the Second Continental Congress and end with the newly created Space Force. Fluctuations in public support of the military are discussed in relation to the major conflicts of American history as well as to the evolution of the military. Topics include civilian control of the military through the office of the president, piracy in the early years of the Navy, the establishment of West Point, the Selective Service, the Geneva conventions, the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Cold War, 9/11, African American and Native American participation in the military, and changing perceptions and rights for women and LGBTQ individuals in the military.
From the Revolutionary War to the current US withdrawal from Afghanistan, changes in technology are discussed, as is the nature of war itself, along with public opinion on individual conflicts and its effect on how the government presents military action. As real-time images of actual combat became available to the American people, and as the theater of war changed from the homelands of major world powers to proxy settings in less-powerful countries, a gradual shift occurred, decreasing trust in the government and support for military operations. Finally, nuclear capabilities, drone warfare, and lethal autonomous weapons have raised serious questions regarding international law and what is considered acceptable in combat.

Описание: This volume of Opinions Throughout History looks at the history and evolution of "free speech" and the freedom of expression and also of efforts to limit this right through censorship. While Americans are accustomed to viewing the United States as the exemplar of free speech and the free press, this has not always been the case. Until relatively recently in the nation's history, censorship in the media in the public discourse was quite common. Though the First Amendment guarantees are a traditional and cherished part of American culture, the idea of free speech has changed over time, as have attitudes about when it is acceptable to censor and control speech. Topics covered in this volume will include political debates, the function of the free press, censorship of literature, video games, and various kinds of art, and the debate over free speech and corporations.

Описание:
In a recent survey, 20 percent of the workers interviewed reported that they had either experienced religious prejudice while at work or knew of a coworker who had been subjected to some form of discriminatory conduct. Indeed, according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the filing of religious discrimination charges under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (which prohibits discrimination in employment based on race, color, national origin, sex, and religion) increased 75 percent between 1997 and 2008. The growing desire on the part of some religious groups to openly express their faith while at work has forced their employers and coworkers to reconsider the appropriateness of certain aspects of devotional conduct. Religion in the workplace does not sit well with all workers, and, from the employer's perspective, the presence of religious practice during the workday may be distracting and, at times, divisive. A thin line separates religious self-expression—by employees and employers—from unlawful proselytizing.
In Encountering Religion in the Workplace, Raymond F. Gregory presents specific cases that cast light on the legal ramifications of mixing religion and work—in the office, on the factory floor, even within religious organizations. Court cases arising under Title VII and the First Amendment must be closely studied, Gregory argues, if we are to fully understand the difficulties that arise for employers and employees alike when they become involved in workplace disputes involving religion, and his book is an ideal resource for anyone hoping to understand this issue.
