Grote's History of Greece is one of the classic works of historical
interpretation and scholarship. George Grote - banker, MP and a
founder of London University - was the first historian to give a
high value to the Greek creation of democracy, and this aspect of
his work is closely relevant to current debates about democracy in
our times. This abridgement of the original twelve volume work,
which was made in the early years of the century and published by
George Routledge and sons, is now available again and makes
accessible the essential Grote. In a new and original introduction,
based on the latest research into Grote and into Greek history,
Paul Cartledge places Grote's history in its intellectual context,
discusses its salient features and traces its subsequent reception
over the past century and a half.
'George Grote was one of the most remarkable minds of the early Victorian age Routledge's reissue prefaced with an illuminating new introduction by Paul Cartledge, provides the best chance that there is likely to be of bringing him to a modern readership.' - Richard Jenkins, London Review of Books

STAYING THE COURSE AS A CIO: HOW TO OVERCOME THE TRIALS AND
CHALLENGES OF IT LEADERSHIP The shelf-life of a Chief Information
Officer can be shockingly short. Few survive in post for more than
a few years. More often each falls prey to insurmountable problems
and their careers come to a sharp and ignominious end. In this
book, a global CIO with over thirty years of experience in major
corporations examines the main reasons why this happens. Readers
will understand which types of issue can cause problems for an IT
Leader and more importantly, they will learn strategies of how
these problems can be minimized or even avoided. IT is often seen a
technical backwater, but it is a discipline which has the
capability to add massive value to an organisation whether it is in
the private or the public sector provided of course it has the
right leadership doing the right things. Aspiring IT Leaders will
need to deal with a common set of recurring trials and challenges.
These include: * Overcoming the challenge of managing diverse and
conflicting stakeholders * How to deal with large and complex
projects * Making sense of software and how to handle the rapidly
changing technology landscape * Knowing when to outsource and how
to get the best out of an outsourcing partner * Harnessing the
intellectual power of consultants to help you meet your goals * And
last but not least, how to develop a set of strategies that are
aligned with your corporate goals and then make sure your resources
are properly targetted so that the IT function generates maximum
positive impact for the enterprise. For IT professionals looking to
fully integrate their function into the enterprise, 'Staying the
Course as a CIO is a valuable source of practical advice, all based
on real experience.

When the Revised Common Lectionary was implemented in the Episcopal
Church in 2010 many conservative clergy were appalled and refused
to use the text in their churches. This text provides an overview
of the Anglican Scriptural Canon which has guided North American
Anglicans for over 460 years and examines whether the misgivings of
conservative Episcopal clergy regarding the use of the Revised
Common Lectionary are historically founded. Written to enrich the
devotional life of Anglicans, the Holy Scriptures in this text have
served as the catechism for over twenty generations of Anglicans.
The readings are organized by historical period and liturgical
season.
Written by a survivor, for survivors, this devotional will
introduce you to the Stations of the Cross as a path to healing
from the trauma of childhood sexual abuse.
