It is impossible to view the news at present without hearing talk of crisis. This timely book looks at how three major crises - the economy, pandemic and climate - are related to the crisis of work, making it more precarious, intense and unequal. Providing an original and critical synthesis of recent trends in the field, expert scholars offer a programme for transcending the crisis of work. Offering a timely contribution to understanding the important issues facing the world, this book presents an important new way of thinking about work in contemporary societies.

Richard III is perhaps the most well-known King of England. Many books have been written about Richard over the 500 plus years since he was crowned King. This book is based upon a review of all available sources. Richard has been judged good, bad, evil even. Opinions have changed through the years. History has been written, rewritten and revisited so many times. Many questions have been asked and many answers given. Yet there is no certainty. Much is still unclear. The passage of time clouds the picture. New theories are put forward and old ones updated. Fresh research is conducted. Conclusive proof remains lacking. Richard is born on 2nd October 1452 to Richard the 3rd Duke of York and Cecily Neville. He is of royal blood and is descended from Edward III. As the youngest of four sons surviving past infancy, he is more likely to be destined for the church. Yet he becomes King. Richard's father and a brother are killed. His eldest brother Edward seizes the throne. Twice he flees England for his life. His mentor and uncle Warwick dies fighting against him on the battlefield. Another brother rebels and is executed for treason. The unexpected early death of his brother King Edward IV results in him being appointed Protector to his nephew Edward V. Richard is crowned King himself yet within two years he loses his wife and son and is killed on the battlefield at Bosworth. Richard experiences the wheel of fortune like few others. His life is but a roller coaster of emotions. Events cannot fail to influence and shape Richard. Medieval life is harsh and brutal. Richard is a man of his time.
