How is it that in the twentieth century virtually all Americans came to think of themselves as "middle class"? In this cultural history of real estate brokerage, Jeffrey M. Hornstein argues that the rise of the Realtors as dealers in both domestic space and the ideology of home ownership provides tremendous insight into this critical question. At the dawn of the twentieth century, a group of prominent real estate brokers attempted to transform their occupation into a profession. Drawing on traditional notions of the learned professions, they developed a new identity-the professional entrepreneur-and a brand name, "Realtor." The Realtors worked doggedly to make home ownership a central element of what became known as the "American dream." Hornstein analyzes the internal evolution of the occupation, particularly the gender dynamics culminating in the rise of women brokers to predominance after the Second World War. At the same time, he examines the ways organized real estate brokers influenced American housing policy throughout the century.Hornstein draws on trade journals, government documents on housing policy, material from the archives of the National Association of Realtors and local real estate boards, demographic data, and fictional accounts of real estate agents. He chronicles the early efforts of real estate brokers to establish their profession by creating local and national boards, business practices, ethical codes, and educational programs and by working to influence laws from local zoning ordinances to national housing policy. A rich and original work of American history, A Nation of Realtors(R) illuminates class, gender, and business through a look at the development of a profession and its enormously successful effort to make the owner-occupied, single-family home a key element of twentieth-century American identity.

Our beaches are eroding, sinking, washing out right under our houses, hotels, bridges; vacation dreamlands become nightmare scenes of futile revetments, fills, groins, what have you-all thrown up in a frantic defense against the natural system. The romantic desire to live on the seashore is in doomed conflict with an age-old pattern of beach migration. Yet it need not be so. Conservationist Wallace Kaufman teams up with marine geologist Orrin H. Pilkey Jr., in an evaluation of America's beaches from coast to coast, giving sound advice on how to judge a safe beach development from a dangerous one and how to live at the shore sensibly and safely.

The worldwide development of ecotourism-including adventures such as mountain climbing and whitewater rafting, as well as more pedestrian pursuits such as birdwatching-has been extensively studied, but until now little attention has been paid to why vacationers choose to take part in what are often physically and emotionally strenuous endeavors. Drawing on ethnographic research and his own experiences working as an ecotour guide throughout the United States and Latin America, Robert Fletcher argues that participation in rigorous outdoor activities resonates with the particular cultural values of the white, upper-middle-class Westerners who are the majority of ecotourists. Navigating 13,000-foot mountain peaks or treacherous river rapids demands deferral of gratification, perseverance through suffering, and a willingness to assume risks in pursuit of continuous progress. In this way, characteristics originally cultivated for professional success have been transferred to the leisure realm at a moment when traditional avenues for achievement in the public sphere seem largely exhausted. At the same time, ecotourism provides a temporary escape from the ostensible ills of modern society by offering a transcendent "e;wilderness"e; experience that contrasts with the indoor, sedentary, mental labor characteristically performed by white-collar workers.

Domestic and international development strategies often focus on private ownership as a crucial anchor for long-term investment; the security of property rights provides a foundation for capitalist expansion. In recent years, Thailand's policies have been hailed as a prime example of how granting formal land rights to poor farmers in low-income countries can result in economic benefits. But the country provides a puzzle: Thailand faced major security threats from colonial powers in the nineteenth century and from communism in the twentieth century, yet only in the latter case did the government respond with pro-development tactics.In Land and Loyalty, Tomas Larsson argues that institutional underdevelopment may prove, under certain circumstances, a strategic advantage rather than a weakness and that external threats play an important role in shaping the development of property regimes. Security concerns, he find, often guide economic policy. The domestic legacies, legal and socioeconomic, resulting from state responses to the outside world shape and limit the strategies available to politicians. While Larsson's extensive archival research findings are drawn from Thai sources, he situates the experiences of Thailand in comparative perspective by contrasting them with the trajectory of property rights in Japan, Burma, and the Philippines.

Nature in Translation is an ethnographic exploration in the cultural politics of the translation of knowledge about nature. Shiho Satsuka follows the Japanese tour guides who lead hikes, nature walks, and sightseeing bus tours for Japanese tourists in Canada's Banff National Park and illustrates how they aspired to become local "e;nature interpreters"e; by learning the ecological knowledge authorized by the National Park. The guides assumed the universal appeal of Canada's magnificent nature, but their struggle in translating nature reveals that our understanding of nature-including scientific knowledge-is always shaped by the specific socio-cultural concerns of the particular historical context. These include the changing meanings of work in a neoliberal economy, as well as culturally-specific dreams of finding freedom and self-actualization in Canada's vast nature. Drawing on nearly two years of fieldwork in Banff and a decade of conversations with the guides, Satsuka argues that knowing nature is an unending process of cultural translation, full of tensions, contradictions, and frictions. Ultimately, the translation of nature concerns what counts as human, what kind of society is envisioned, and who is included and excluded in the society as a legitimate subject.

DES RÉPONSES CONCRÈTES POUR REPRENDRE LE POUVOIR SUR VOTRE CARRIÈRE.Même quand elles en font deux fois plus au travail, les femmes sont deux fois moins reconnues. Pourquoi ?Nous avons été éduquées à rester sages et à ne pas prendre trop de place, ce qui nous pénalise dans la vie professionnelle. Nous nous mettons une pression immense : nous voulons être parfaites (syndrome de la bonne élève), être appréciées de tous (syndrome de la miss), nous nous responsabilisons à la place des autres (syndrome de la boule de cristal). Et surtout, nous doutons trop souvent de notre légitimité (syndrome de l'impostrice).Être BADASS, c'est tordre le cou à tous ces biais. Ne plus s'excuser ni attendre l'autorisation et la validation d'autrui, mais prendre la place que l'on mérite. Être un peu plus égoïste et un peu plus prétentieuse. Défendre ses intérêts, quitte à ne pas plaire à tout le monde. Assumer son ambition, poser ses limites. Préférer être estimée plutôt qu'aimée. Prendre la lumière, rayonner, négocier, sans honte ni culpabilité, tout en restant authentique.Ce guide d'auto-coaching vous donnera des conseils et des exercices concrets pour déconstruire vos blocages, valoriser votre travail, rebooster votre ego, négocier votre salaire ou vos tarifs, réseauter de façon décomplexée, faire votre auto-promotion et votre storytelling, activer les bons leviers pour obtenir ce que vous voulez... et avoir la carrière que vous méritez vraiment.

Au printemps 2022, le ministre Christian Dubé présente son plan concret pour améliorer le système de santé québécois, cette grande institution maintes fois mise à mal par de multiples réformes, coupures budgétaires et, plus récemment, par la pandémie de COVID-19. En réponse à ce vaste programme, Alain Vadeboncoeur nous propose Prendre soin, sa contribution pour la réanimation de notre réseau. Comment mieux prendre soin des malades, des soignants et de tous les acteurs qui composent ce système ? Comment veiller au bien-être du système lui-même ? L’auteur nous donne ici ses prescriptions pour la Santé en abordant une multitude d’enjeux, comme l’accès aux soins, la prévention et le dépistage, l’efficacité des logiciels informatiques, les médicaments, le financement public et les ententes professionnelles. Il invite à la réflexion et à l’engagement social dans l’optique de redonner un second souffle à nos établissements de santé. Surtout, il nous rappelle la mission première qui inspire tant de gens dévoués : soigner, tout simplement.

Il n’est pas courant de considérer sa résidence d’abord et avant tout comme une marchandise intrinsèquement liée à l’économie capitaliste. Pourtant, ce chez-soi dont on a tant rêvé, et auquel on a finalement accès, a été construit puis mis en vente ou en location par des entreprises capitalistes, sur un marché qui s’adresse à des consommateurs dont le pouvoir d’achat provient lui-même d’un autre marché, celui du travail. Et, comme l’a démontré la crise de 2008, le marché de l’immobilier peut subir des bouleversements considérables, affectant de manière drastique l’économie et la société dans son ensemble. Dans cet ouvrage, Louis Gaudreau entreprend d’illustrer le caractère évolutif de la relation entre capitalisme et logement, en retraçant l’histoire de ses trois principaux protagonistes : le promoteur, la banque et le rentier. Car même si le marché de l’habitation fait depuis longtemps partie intégrante du capitalisme, il n’est plus le même qu’au xixe siècle ou qu’il y a trente ans. Il s’appuie désormais sur des logiques financiarisées qui en modifient le fonctionnement. Cette tendance impose de nouvelles conditions au développement du logement et à ses usages, qui révèlent à leur tour la façon dont se pose aujourd’hui la question du droit au logement.

Critically examines the emerging field of popular culture tourism and its close connection with fan studies and placemakingThis volume considers world-making as the intersection of the fan pilgrimage experience and the responses of destinations. It critically examines the emerging field of popular culture tourism and its close connection with fan studies and placemaking. The chapters illustrate how different destinations capitalise on expressive cultural practices to attract fan tourists, the processes involved in their tourismification, and the outcomes for both visitors and local communities. The book establishes a common ground for the comprehensive and critical study of popular culture tourism development and fandom. It integrates theory and practice and provides evidence-based recommendations for popular culture destinations. It is a useful resource for researchers in tourism management, fandom, pop culture and media studies, as well as for those working in the tourism industry.Contributors Prologue Chapter 1.

Critically examines the emerging field of popular culture tourism and its close connection with fan studies and placemakingThis volume considers world-making as the intersection of the fan pilgrimage experience and the responses of destinations. It critically examines the emerging field of popular culture tourism and its close connection with fan studies and placemaking. The chapters illustrate how different destinations capitalise on expressive cultural practices to attract fan tourists, the processes involved in their tourismification, and the outcomes for both visitors and local communities. The book establishes a common ground for the comprehensive and critical study of popular culture tourism development and fandom. It integrates theory and practice and provides evidence-based recommendations for popular culture destinations. It is a useful resource for researchers in tourism management, fandom, pop culture and media studies, as well as for those working in the tourism industry.Contributors Prologue Chapter 1.

Join Michael Tuso as he guides sellers out of the antiquated world of “one size fits all” pitching and into a world that empowers buyers and sellers alike through problem-solving and system building. If you find the traditional methods of hard selling and forceful tactics to be outdated and exhausting, then Crafting the Sale is the refreshing people-focused approach you need. Learn how to solve buyer problems, increase your sales numbers, and create impeccable sales and buying experiences. Buyers don’t have to work with you; they choose to work with you—and Crafting the Sale shows you exactly how to get those buyers to engage, act, and convert. In this modern approach to selling, Tuso tosses aside canned sales pitches and instead shows how true success in sales stems from understanding others and problem-solving. Throughout, Tuso takes on old-school methodologies and shows how to equip sales teams with newer, more refined approaches to their craft, demonstrating how to: create space for the buyer, unlock the power of emotional connection, ask thoughtful questions that build trust, put the buyers’ needs first instead of the product, save floundering customer relationships, craft messages that buyers actually want to read, prevent buyers from ghosting you, build the right habits to help you sell more sustainably, remain top of mind even when the buyer is not in the market, deploy the most up-to-date sales tactics to increase revenue, and much more. Crafting the Sale is the ultimate tool for anyone new to sales or looking to level-up their skills, improve their outcomes, and create lasting connections with customers. Salespeople can be successful by adapting to the changing dynamic between buyer and seller and providing experiences that benefit both sides. All it takes is genuine conversation, a problem-solving attitude, and a commitment to learning.

Achieve more, do more, create more with the power of creative courage Creative Courage challenges you to step outside of your comfort zone and truly make an impact. Set aside the same old routine and break the status quo—because you can only rise to new heights if you first smash the ceiling. Written by the former Executive Creative Director of Creations at Cirque du Soleil, this book shows you how to step up your game, flex your creativity, and make big things happen. Whether you work independently or as part of a team, whether you're self-employed or part of an organization, and even if you think creativity isn't a part of the work that you do—this book gives you the perspective, courage, and kick start you need to think differently about the things you do every day. Creative courage is more than a strategy, it's a way of life. It opens your mind—and the minds of those around you—to new approaches, new ideas, and new schools of thought that can revolutionize the way you work. This book invites you to experience the freedom and power at the intersection of courage and creativity so you can finally: Foster a more collaborative culture Bring depth and meaning to every project Turn challenge into opportunity Create work that matters The value of creative thinking extends far beyond the arts, but the work it allows you to produce has the power to touch like great art can. You gain the ability to make a more profound impact, and you inspire and motivate others to do the same; you become a catalyst for bigger, better things, driven by the enormous potential of the free-thinking mind. Creative Courage helps you break out of the box and start making things happen today. Acknowledgments xiii Foreword xv Preface xix Introduction xxi Chapter 1 The Central Problem Affecting Work: The War on Imagination, and How I Lost My Creative Courage 1 Chapter 2 Care First: Respect is Not the First Step When Disengagement is the Status Quo 37 Chapter 3 Secure Safety: No Safety, No Trust 57 Chapter 4 Foster Trust: The Natural State of Silos 71 Chapter 5 Play with Danger: When the Stakes are So High That We Just Want to Play It Safe 87 Chapter 6 Dream: Spreadsheets Don’t Dream Yet 107 Chapter 7 Discover Breakthroughs: The Neglected Area of Human Emotions and the Edge of the Future 123 Chapter 8 Grow: What If It’s Not about the Logo? 145 Chapter 9 Start to Dance: When is It Too Late? 163 Conclusion: 50 Percent More 169 Notes 173 Index 179
