Third edition of the illustrated guide to the greatest payers in the NBA right now, featuring 130 action photographs and 50 player profiles.

This work provides a comprehensive account of 20th-century coal mining disasters in South Yorkshire. It features many previously unpublished illustrations and is based on original research by a well-known local historian.

In the period that we now call the Industrial Revolution mining disasters wrecked the lives of thousands of South Yorkshire families and devastated entire communities. The Husker pit flooding of 1838 in which 26 young girls and boys were killed shocked Victorian society and and was a significant factor in the 1842 Report on Employment of Women and Children in Mines; but earlier, long forgotten disasters are also explored. The Barnsley area was particularly hard-hit during the middle decades of the century with major mining accidents, usually great explosions of firedamp occurring, for example, at Lundhill Colliery (189 men and boys killed); Oaks (361 fatalities, Britain’s worst pit disaster) and Swaithe Main (143 dead). Scenes of grief, mourning and remarkable heroism provided spectacular copy for Victorian newspapers and magazines such as The Illustrated London News, focusing on the very uncertain and dangerous life of the miner. Despite the importance and widespread occurrence of South Yorkshire mining disasters, which also included dreadful winding accidents and gas emissions, their story has never been told in a single volume.

A selection of photographs that illustrates the transformation that has taken place in Barnsley during the 20th century. It offers insight into the daily lives and living conditions of local people and gives the reader glimpses and details of familiar places during a century of change. It records the process of transformation.

Heavily illustrated with a number of unseen images from the authors own archive, this title covers mining regions in Scotland, northern England, the midlands, Wales, Cumbria and Somerset. Many books cover the mines but this focuses on the miners themselves.

"The pace of change in the way that we work is accelerating faster than what leaders ever imagined possible. What felt like radical shifts driven by the pandemic ended up being the beginning of empowering individuals to do their best work while also leading better lives. But achieving true flexibility -- not only in where but critically when people work -- requires overcoming decades of reflexes leaders have built up around "the right way to work" based on 9-to-5 days full of meetings in office buildings. And it requires building new reflexes, new skills, new strengths -- moving from resistance to re-design -- to lead with purpose, to coach rather than tell, and to believe that by letting go, you'll get more back. This is a how to-book that empowers leaders with the tools and tips to do better for their people and, in turn, their businesses. The insights draw from extensive original global research from Future Forum and case studies from a wide range of companies like Levi's, Genentech, Salesforce, Slack, Royal Bank of Canada, and IBM, "-- Provided by publisher
