During the refounding of the Anthroposophical Society as the
General Anthroposophical Society at Christmas 1923/24, Rudolf
Steiner also reconstituted, as the School of Spiritual Science, the
Esoteric School he had led in three classes from 1904 to 1914, at
the same time extending its scope by adding artistic and scientific
Sections. However, owing to his illness and later death in March
1925, he was only able to make a beginning by establishing the
First Class and the Sections. The actual step from the Esoteric
School to the School of Spiritual Science was nevertheless an
exceptional one. The Esoteric School from Helena Blavatsky's time
had been secret. Its existence was known only to those personally
invited to participate. In contrast, the existence of the School of
Spiritual Science was stated openly in the public statutes of the
General Anthroposophical Society. From the Christmas Conference
onwards, Rudolf Steiner worked within this publicly acknowledged
framework. The Class Lessons comprise a complete spiritual course
of nineteen fundamental lessons given between February and August
1924, several lessons given at other locations, and seven further
lessons from September 1924 which take up the themes of the first
part of the nineteen lessons in a modified form. This authentic,
accurate and high-quality bilingual edition - with English and
German texts printed side by side - is published in conjunction
with the School of Spiritual Science at the Goetheanum. A compact
four-volume clothbound set, it features plates with Rudolf
Steiner's handwritten notes of the mantras and reproductions of his
original colour blackboard drawings. The translations of the
mantric verses have been reworked by a committed group of
translators, linguists and editors, expressing subtleties of
meaning, grammatical accuracy and poetic style whilst retaining the
original sound and metre of the German mantric forms. Three
versions of the existing English translations are also included.

This book was immediately recognised on its publication in 1894 as
a major work of scholarship, and reached twenty-five editions
during its author's lifetime. The intention of George Adam Smith
(1856 1942) was to produce a work which would 'give a vision of the
land as a whole' and help the reader 'to hear through it the sound
of running history'. Smith, an enthusiastic alpinist, had studied
divinity in Edinburgh, and first visited Palestine in 1880,
travelling around the country on foot. The book was written while
Smith was teaching at Glasgow, and working on various social
projects in Scotland. His detailed knowledge of the territory,
together with his wide familiarity with the archaeological and
historical background, gives the work authority. The book places
the land in its historical context, and describes the physical
geography and climate; the readability of its style is enhanced by
detailed maps, some in colour."
First published in two volumes between 1907 and 1908, this major
work by the Scottish biblical scholar and geographer Sir George
Adam Smith (1856-1942) is organised into three books. Volume 1
contains the first two books. Book 1 covers the topography, geology
and climate of ancient Jerusalem, while Book 2 focuses on the
economic and political development of the city. Best known for his
celebrated Historical Geography of the Holy Land (1894), Smith
provides here a more detailed and specialist analysis, based on
first-hand knowledge derived from the visits he made to the region
over the years. Spanning more than fourteen centuries of
Jerusalem's history from 1400 BCE to 70 CE, these well-illustrated
volumes remain a standard work of scholarship, expertly elucidating
the changing shape of the city.

At the end of his life, Rudolf Steiner took up the task that was
his special destiny: to bring to the West a knowledge of
reincarnation and karma. To do this, he gave over eighty lectures
in 1924 in which he explicitly and concretely revealed the
destinies of various individuals from one life to the next in order
to show how the general laws of karma operate in individual cases.
He also revealed many details of the karmic streams of the members
of the Anthroposophical Society. These volumes constitute an
immeasurable contribution to the understanding of reincarnation and
karma, and the tasks of the Anthroposophical Society in connection
with the Archangel Michael. This new edition also includes
Steiner's last address along with; the karmic groups of souls
connected to Aristotelianism and Platonism, the karma of the
anthroposophical movement, as well as the individual incarnations
of Ernst Haeckel, Vladimir Solovioff and others.
Entrepreneurship is changing. Technology and social networks create
a smaller world, but widen the opportunity horizon. Today's
entrepreneurs build organisations and create value in entirely new
ways and with entirely new tools. Rather than just exploit new
ideas, innovative entrepreneurs design organisations to make sense
of unlikely opportunities. The time has come to overhaul what we
know about entrepreneurship and business models. Models of
Opportunity links scholarly research on business models and
organisational design to the reality of building entrepreneurial
firms. It provides actionable advice based on a deeper
understanding of how business models function and change. The six
insights extend corporate strategy and entrepreneurship in a
completely new direction. Case studies of innovative companies
across industries demonstrate how visionary entrepreneurs achieve
unexpected results. The insights, tools and cases, provide a fresh
perspective on emerging trends in entrepreneurship, organisational
change and high-growth firms.
