Book excerpt: The question of immigration is a perennial hot topic in politics around the world. What gets far less attention is what happens to immigrants after their arrival—how they integrate into their newly chosen societies. This book draws on fieldwork in London and eastern England, analyzing and critiquing the effectiveness of recent policies that aim to promote integration and social cohesion. Successful management of immigration, Jill Rutter argues, requires a greater emphasis on the social aspects of integration and opportunities for meaningful social interactions between migrants and long-settled residents, particularly in workplaces.

But what happens to migrants after their arrival – integration and social cohesion – has received less attention, yet these conditions matter to migrants and to wider society. Drawing on fieldwork in London and eastern England, Moving up and getting on is the first accessible, yet comprehensive, text to critique the effectiveness of recent integration and social cohesion policies and calls for a stronger political leadership. Written for those interested in public policy, the book argues that if the UK is to be successful in managing migration, there needs to be greater emphasis on the social aspects of integration and opportunities for meaningful social contact between migrants and longer-settled residents, particularly in the workplace.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Upward mobility through the path of higher education has been an article of faith for generations of working-class, low-income, and immigrant college students. While we know this path usually entails financial sacrifices and hard work, very little attention has been paid to the deep personal compromises such students have to make as they enter worlds vastly different from their own. Measuring the true cost of higher education for those from disadvantaged backgrounds, Moving Up without Losing Your Way looks at the ethical dilemmas of upward mobility--the broken ties with family and friends, the severed connections with former communities, and the loss of identity--faced by students as they strive to earn a successful place in society"--Dust jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, there is a huge income gap between college graduates and high school graduates. Yet, many young Americans still believe that "they don't need college" to get rich or get ahead. For every "self made millionaire" who skipped college, there are millions of high school graduates who will struggle financially for the rest of their lives. For about the same cost to buy and insure a "nice" new car, then drive it for four years, many young adult Americans could pay for a four year college degree instead. That degree then would earn them enough extra income on average to buy a new car for cash every two years for the rest of their lives! Take out a car loan or a school loan? It's a no brainer!Dr. Mike Santaniello, who drove a truck for fourteen years and was the first person in his family to attend college, destroys the myths about college. His book proves once and for all that going to college is "worth it" for almost everyone. Based on years of research on college students and their families, this book teaches parents and grandparents who are not college graduates what they could do to encourage their children to become successful college students. From over twenty five years of teaching, advising, and studying working college students, Dr. Mike Santaniello offers the aspiring college student inside information on how to excel in college and beyond.ABOUT SOPHIAOMNI PRESSThis text is published by SophiaOmni Press.

Book excerpt: Consider this book a guide for growing your network marketing business. It is essentially a collection of many of the ideas, strategies, and tactics that I was taught by my mentors, as well as practical applications that I've discovered along my own path to success. Take from this book what works for you--and don't stop there. This is one good source. Learn from other people, even from leaders in other industries, who share their experience and key learning principles. When it comes to moving up, your goal is to grow your business and to grow as a person, and there's plenty of wisdom available to be found on bookshelves, in lecture halls, and even from your audio player while you're driving your car. The truth is that by building your network marketing business, you are contributing to job creation. You are helping to educate the children of your distributors by giving them an opportunity to earn an income. You are contributing to society by paying taxes on your earnings to build better schools, roads, and infrastructure. Your direct-sales business is vital to the entire well-being of the planet by bringing life-changing products or services that offer people more value than anything else they could spend their hard-earned money on. Therefore I wrote this book--to share the wealth of what I've learned as I have made my journey to success in direct sales. Get ready to start moving up!

She lays out a powerful framework for shaping a satisfying, meaningful career, revealing how to: -Identify work that matches what you care most about -Succeed in a corporate career or an entrepreneurial venture -Spot and seize newly emerging professional opportunities -Use your unique capabilities to become an effective leader Provocative and engaging, What's Next, Gen X? helps you break free from the middle and chart a fulfilling course for the years ahead.

Book excerpt: From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together
