A veteran of World War I, Erich Maria Remarque found himself in a unique position to render the experience of war, both its internal and external ravages, in an intimate and realistic way. Responding directly to the then-nameless trauma many veterans and soldiers experienced in their lives, Remarque's novel is often hailed as pacifist work, though it often defies classification as a result of its undeniable loyalty to simple storytelling. This compelling volume explores the life and work of Erich Maria Remarque and expands upon the theme of war present in his classic novel. Readers are presented with a diverse set of essays that provide a wide range of perspectives on questions such as whether war results in a loss of innocence, and whether the book offers critiques of modern warfare. This edition also touches upon current perspectives related to war and peace, allowing readers to connect the events of the text to the issues of today's world.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics states that in 2016, 16.3 million American wage and salary workers were represented by a union. Statistics correlate that union workers are paid at least 200.00 dollars higher per week than non-union workers. Unions are specifically created and operated to protect the worker from unfair business practices, and improve the quality of life for workers. Conversely, some unions have such a stronghold on productivity numbers, that workers, once having met their quota for the day, can stop working. Big businesses view unions as friends or foe because of their power and ability to change the workplace on behalf of the worker's rights and desires. While sheer numbers of membership show that unions are relevant, there are several factors left to debate. This volume offers the full breadth of perspectives on unions, through eyewitness accounts, governmental views, scientific analysis, and newspaper accounts. Your readers will be able to use this one source as an excellent research tool. Main ideas are copied from the text and repeated as pull quotes so that readers can track the important facts as they are developing opinions on unions, writing reports, or otherwise.
