Humanity is “standing at the centre of two eternities.” This collection of poetry reflects a cross-road where “here” meets “there”; a challenging journey through the contemporary worlds of spiritual exploration in both the East and the West. It is a quest along the path to understanding the totality of a profoundly perceptive life in which love and despair, life and death, the word and silence, are recognized as relationships within one infinite whole.These poems draw meaning from the world about humanity and give testimony to the inextricably interwoven experienc

Exploring recent changes in employment practices in seven industrialized countries (Australia, Britain, Germany, Italy, Japan, Sweden, and the United States) and in two essential industries (automobile and telecommunications), Harry C. Katz and Owen Darbishire find that traditional national systems of employment are being challenged by four cross-national patterns. The patterns, which are becoming ever more prevalent, can be categorized as low-wage, human resource management, Japanese-oriented, and joint team-based strategies. The authors go on to show that these changing empl

In the 1990s, labour productivity growth accelerated in the United States, yet slowed down in other industrialised countries, reversing a three decade long tendency of convergence. The book explores this phenomenon. It first identifies the methodological and statistical problems involved in measuring productivity and making cross-country comparisons in this area. Then the role of factor accumulation for the diverging trends across the OECD world, with a particular focus on the dispersion of information and communication technology (ICT), is reviewed. In-depth studies of single countries provid
