From the acclaimed author of The Pope's Daughter, the beautifully told story of the most brilliant and celebrated woman of Renaissance Florence - and her brutal end. Charming and funny, intelligent and immensely wealthy, Isabella was the true star of the powerful house of Medici. Her father, Duke Cosimo de' Medici, allowed her a freedom that was experienced by few - if any - women in Italy. She spent her life on a quest for beauty, love and pleasure, determined always to hold her own among men. With her husband conveniently absent from Florence for much of the time, Isabella held sway over a court of nobles, musicians and artists who were committed above all to decadent living. But Isabella's golden existence could not last for ever. When her father died he was succeeded as head of the Medici clan by her unforgiving brother Francesco, and Isabella's life took a very different and tragic turn. Based on documents newly discovered in Italian archives, this richly illustrated biography reveals Isabella's extraordinary true story for the first time. Caroline P. Murphy's narrative flair and deep understanding of the period bring alive all the grandeur, achievement and treachery of a great family at the height of Italy's Renaissance.

This book focuses on zero hours and on-call work as an extreme form of casual and precarious employment. It includes country studies of the USA, Canada, Australia, the UK, New Zealand and Ireland, where there has been increasing concern about the prevalence of such work, and working time uncertainty, as well as varying levels of public policy debate on regulation. The book incorporates a comparative review of zero hours work based on the findings of the country studies. This pays particular attention to state regulatory responses to zero hours work, and incorporates the sociological concepts of accumulation and legitimation functions of the state. Exploring the regulation of zero hours work beyond individual countries, the book includes an analysis of external regulation of zero hours work at the supranational level, namely the European Union and ILO. Further, it assesses the implications of zero hours for workers in new sectors of economic activity, particularly the impact of the platform or ‘gig’ economy on the fundamental nature of the employment relationship. It also considers the societal implications of zero hours work and the ethical responsibilities of employers and governments towards workers as citizens. .
