Описание:
The reign of Edward II (1307-27) was a serious of total disasters, making him unsuccessful to an extent almost without equal. At some level Edward simply did not inspire trust or respect. He failed to be kingly, preferring ditching and cart-racing to jousting and falconry. He relied on favourites and seemed to alienate even the most natural supporters of the throne. His reign was convulsed by rebellion and attempts to reform the king's behaviour. In an attempt to throw off the spectre of his regal, soldierly father, Edward I, he invaded Scotland and suffered catastrophic defeat at the Battle of Bannockburn. After twenty ruinous years, betrayed and abandoned by most of his nobles and by his wife and her lover, Edward was imprisoned in Berkeley Castle where he was murdered.
Christopher Given-Wilson's remarkable book gives a glimpse into the abyss: the terrors of kingship--where royal authority is based around strict succession by the eldest son, what happens when that eldest son is incapable of doing the job?

Описание: What does a person have to do to achieve success in the workforce, or more broadly, in life? If you've ever asked yourself these questions, look no further than here. Author Christopher Wilson's BA to Boardroom with No BS, Skills for Life delivers an answer that's straightforward, sensible, and, as the title suggests, devoid of all the "BS" clouding most forms of career advice these days. Described by Paul F. Levy, former CEO of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, as "one of those essential life guides that everyone should have," BA to Boardroom with No BS gives readers what they need to know. The book offers pragmatic, usable advice on how to affect positive change and practical growth in one's career and personal life. By honing the interpersonal and professional skills necessary not only to spur, but also to respond to, one's rise through the ranks, individuals are set up to achieve more successful outcomes. Wilson's unique brand of no-nonsense advice is based on the premise that, while knowledge is important in any job, skills are what ultimately move people forward and enable them to climb the workplace ladder. To illustrate this point, Wilson compares the accumulation of job skills to the act of filling a toolbox with tools. With each new tool added to the box, one becomes more equipped to build a better outcome, more mindful of the results each tool produces, and more capable of choosing, and effectively using, the right tools for the right job. Through a series of very relatable, often funny, and always edifying stories, Wilson identifies very specific personal and professional skills and depicts the application of those skills to actual workplace scenarios, as he encountered them during his thirty-plus years working as a corporate employee, CEO, mentor, parent, and executive coach. While the stories in BA to Boardroom with No BS can be read straight through and in order, success-driven individuals will want to revisit the text over and over again as they progress through career and life, calling upon it as a reference whenever the need arises to learn how to deal with a new, different, or challenging work or personal situation. An "Index of Skills" near the front of the book enables readers to do just that. After finding the desired skill in the index, they need only flip to the correct page to find the desired information. Some of the skills featured in the book include: - personal skills, such as resume writing, salary negotiation, and peer relations; - management skills, such as hiring people, building a team, and managing up; - leadership skills, such as influencing, situational leadership, and stakeholder analysis; and - life skills, such as investing, credit, and insurance basics. However accurate the title may be when it comes to "No BS," do not be deceived by the appearance of "BA" in the title. Though the book is intended primarily for college students and graduates entering the workforce for the first time, BA to Boardroom with No BS offers benefits to a much larger audience. In addition to providing a resource for new workers, the book offers invaluable information, instruction, and motivation for those who are returning to work after hiatus, assuming greater leadership and/or management roles in an existing job, looking to get a tighter grasp on workplace dynamics, or simply looking to get ahead in any aspect of life.

Описание: Nahant, Massachusetts, 12 miles north of Boston, consists of two islands connected to the mainland by a causeway. Small in land area--1.2 square miles--it has a big history. This book examines Nahant thematically in over 200 images. East Point is seen as the site of an 1823 resort hotel and later a distinguished senator's residence. It was also used as a military installation and is currently an educational facility and public park. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow describes, in his own words, his 25 years in Nahant. The Samuel Hammond family is shown as a representative of the wealthy Bostonians who enjoyed Nahant as a summer colony. Many images illustrate full-time residents who invested their lives here participating in a rich civic life. Work, play, and entertainment are documented. Social issues, such as women's suffrage, were confronted. Current issues, like the Black Lives Matter movement, continue to draw attention.
