No one ever said pension scheme trusteeship was easy. Indeed, this is particularly true with regard to the investment aspects of trusteeship, with its many nuances and often mystifying jargon and terminology. Trustees must strive to improve upon their skill, expertise and organisational effectiveness in determining and monitoring a scheme's investment strategy, because simplicity in many aspects of trusteeship and investment are continually giving way to increased complexity. Written by two renowned and highly experienced industry practitioners, with a mission to advance trustees' investment knowledge and to provide them with the necessary confidence and competence to adopt an advanced level of investment governance for their scheme, The Trustee Guide to Investment is a uniquely and refreshingly objective and practical guide to the ever expanding range of markets, investments, tools and techniques to which pension scheme trustees are increasingly exposed by their fund managers and advisers.

Taking place in 1982, a major event in both post-colonial history and the final phase of the Cold War, as well as a cultural touchstone for two different countries, the Falklands/Malvinas Conflict is one of the most important events of the last two decades of the twentieth century. This volume builds upon the aims of the international Falklands/Malvinas Conflict 37th anniversary conference held at The University of Manchester on 25th and 26th April 2019, examining both Argentine and British sides of the conflict, as well as joining together the voices of the Falklands/Malvinas veterans with those of Falklands/Malvinas commentators, teasing out the multi-faceted nature of the conflict. This allows readers to connect first-hand veterans’ accounts with academics’ and commentators’ research, as well as providing a larger picture and broader scope of how the 1982 conflict played out and is remembered in not only Argentina and Britain, but the US also, forty years after the conflict. Including previously unheard first-hand accounts of the Falklands/Malvinas Conflict from key Argentine and British participants and combatants, such as Commodore Michael Clapp and Major General Julian Thompson and key members of 2 PARA, this volume offers a unique understanding of the conflict from a range of perspectives. Therefore, this volume is an invaluable resource for students and researchers interested in the Falklands/Malvinas Conflict.

This book examines British and Argentine media output in the prelude to and during the 1982 Falklands/Malvinas Conflict and acknowledges the aftermath and legacies of the media response. Yards of ink have been spilt, reinforcing the view that the Argentine Junta's action on 2nd April 1982 was a 'diversion' from domestic tensions. This view, coupled with the paucity of any thorough, in-depth analysis afforded to Argentine media aspects of the War - particularly the press - necessitates this volume's copious international study of the Conflict. Uniquely, US media output is also analysed alongside Britain's and Argentina's, all drawing upon Cold War historiography and media theory, with a view to contesting the traditional consensus that media outlets merely reflected government opinion during the Crisis, providing almost no effective dissent. Asserting media and culture influenced the climatic decision-making process of key actors in the Conflict, this book's triangulated approach explores the integral, influencing role played therein by culture, and how it was not only instrumental to government actions, but also to Argentine, British and US media output. This book's revisionist approach makes it a reference point for any nascent research on Falklands/Malvinas media reporting and Argentine and international approaches-particularly the US-to the 1982 Conflict.

The primitive mind does not differentiate the supernatural from reality, but rather uses "mystical participation" to manipulate the world. According to Bruhl, moreover, the primitive mind doesn't address contradictions. The modern mind, by contrast, uses reflection and logic. Bruhl believed in a historical and evolutionary teleology leading from the primitive mind to the modern mind.

Levy-Bruhl speculates about what he posited as the two basic mind-sets of mankind; "primitive" and "Western."

Text extracted from opening pages of book: HENRI BERGSON BY JACQUES CHEVALIER BROFESSOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF GRENOBLE Translation by LILIAN A. CLAEE LONDON: RIDER AND CO. PATEBNOSTER HOUSE, E. G. 1928 AH rights PKINTE0 IN THE UNITED STATES TRANSLATOR'S NOTE THE translation here presented of the lectures on Bergson and his doctrine given by Professor Chevalier at Grenoble University during the spring months of 1926, has been undertaken under his own eye and with his personal collaboration throughout. Had this valuable help not been available, the difficulty of the subject would have made it an impossible task for the present translator, Professor Chevalier's familiarity with the English language and his sym pathetic understanding of the aims and ideals of the English-speaking races have often smoothed the way, and given additional interest and pleasure to the work of translation. Wherever reference has been made to already existing authorized translations of Professor Berg son's work, the direct quotation has been given, although this has now and then occasioned slight differences in the interpretation of a terminology which the philosopher has made his own. Through the author's personal friendship and constantly maintained intercourse with his subject, sources of information, hitherto untapped, have also been directly available, The translation of Bergson's criticism of the Ein stein theory of relativity has been very kindly undertaken by Professor Chevalier's friend, Thomas Greenwood, MA, F. R. G. S., of the University of London. vl TRANSLATOR'S NOTE It should be noted that the term spiritualism is used throughout in its older and philosophical sense, as denoting a systemwhich claims the inde pendent existence of spirit as opposed to matter, A list of Professor Bergson's works to which refer ence is made is appended. In the footnotes they are referred to in an abbreviated form. LILIAN A. CLARE. INTRODUCTION THE pages which follow do not in any way aspire to be exhaustive, or even original, The circum stances which gave rise to them will sufficiently account for this characteristic, , and will serve the author at least he hopes soas an excuse to those who may be inclined to reproach him on that score. In the spring of 1924, a few weeks before the opening of the holiday courses for foreign students given every year by the Grenoble University, I was asked if I would devote six lectures to the philosophy of Henri Bergson. I agreed, but as a matter of fact, time was lacking to reread the philosopher's works in their entirety. Nor was it possible to set forth, in six lectures of an hour each, the intricacies of so vast a doctrine, the wealth of proofs and analyses it contains, and the vistas it opens up in all directions of human thought. For both these reasons I had to practice intellectual asceticism, and felt constrained to omit a very great deal By concentrating upon, I will not say essen tials, but upon certain aspects of Bergson's philosophy which were most familiar and congenial to me, because they had allowed of my handling its substance and arriving at its core, I might hope that my audience by pursuing the same path with me would reach it also* I therefore sought, by a kind of reflective self-communion, to live over again those vii viii INTRODUCTION trains of thought whose vitalizing power and fer tility had been tested in the depths of my own mindduring a period of twenty years. They were indeed the foundations of the thought by which 1 had lived, and which I had been reliving. Now it turned out that this sparse and summary method of treating my subject, which circumstances had rendered necessary, fulfilled the aim of my teaching, and enabled it to touch, not merely the mind, but the heart.
