This is the true story of the most remarkable horse in history. Foaled in the lavish Ottoman stables of the Topkapl Palace in the late 1870s, this dark bay stallion was hard schooled in the disciplines of war. Until now, his remarkable story has never been told.

As in other areas of conservation, the crucial question concerning plant biodiversity isn't whether to conserve but how best to conserve diversity at the different levels of biological organization--the gene, the species and the community. Conservation biology is faced with several controversial issues, such as the dichotomy between the preservation of individual species versus a broader focus on the environment, the relative importance to give to endangered species, the design and management of reserves, and the drive for increasing agricultural productivity through plant improvement versus the drive to maintain traditional peasant varieties in cultivation. These and other issues are dealt with here by emphasizing and exploring the underlying scientific principles. The conservation of whole communities emerges as the paramount strategy for maintaining the evolutionary potential of plant life.

You can be a leader regardless of who you are or the job or position you hold. It doesn't take any extra schooling or a fancy title to make you a leader - it takes integrity and character - qualities that come from within. The Heart of A Leader is about leading people and how to become more effective at it. In the process of becoming a more effective leader, you'll probably find that you have become a better person. The Heart of A Leader is not about the tactics of managing. It is designed to give you the framework by which you will be in a better position to appreciate and take advantage of what those people you work with have to offer you as a leader and your organization in general.
The Heart of A Leader is not long or hard to read. It is designed to have all the information in bite-size chunks of information that you can read and then implement. It is divided into four sections each of which becomes a layer on top of the previous section - You, Your Talk, Your People, and Business Realities. Each concept within those sections is made in one page and is designed to focus on those aspects that will help you become a better and more focused leader.
