The Third Duke of Portland served twice as Prime Minster and had a long and distinguished political career from 1760s to the 1780s. This study details how he was transformed from a pillar of the grand Whiggery (he was the brother-in-law of Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire) into the figurehead for would-be Tories. The book also examines how he played an important public role in many of the political crises of his era (including the French Revolution and the Union) as well as a hidden role in British history (he was involved in the secret service and political corruption).
The ability to deal with ambiguity is what separates great leaders
from average leaders and is a defining moment for all leaders. This
book shows that the key factor for great leadership is the ability
to recognize, explore, and profit from ambiguous and chaotic
situations and to lead others through them. Drawing upon the latest
research, the book shows how to lead others through ambiguity and
uncertainty in a manner that creates opportunity, innovation, and
competitive advantage.

This monograph is a call to action. It is an urgent request to
those using the web to help find solutions to problems facing
healthcare globally. The disciplines of Web Science and its
subfield Health Web Science explore how the World Wide Web drives
discussions, technologies, policies, and solutions, which surround
health issues. The monograph presents Health Web Science as a
sub-discipline of Web Science that, while being concerned with the
Web's impact on health and wellbeing, also examines the impact of
the Web's health-related uses on the design, structure, and
evolution of the Web itself. Understanding and appreciating the
overlapping, yet divergent disciplinary orientation of Health Web
Science compared to related research domains, motivates specific
research efforts around better utilization of, innovation on, and
communication over and within the Web. Health Web Science is an
ideal reference for researchers and practitioners with an interest
in this emerging topic.
The religion that feeds and fosters all religions and emphasizes
their common greatness. -Sathya Sai Baba Discipline of the mind is
a basic ingredient of genuine morality and, therefore, of spiritual
strength. Spiritual power is the eternal guide in this life and the
life after, for man ranks supreme among all creatures. Led forward
by spiritual power, man can reach the summit destined for him by
the great creator. "Since nobody can interfere in the realm of God,
we should tolerate and live side by side with those of other
faiths. In the mystic traditions of different religions, we have a
remarkable unity of spirit. Whatever religion they profess, they
are spiritual kinsmen. While the different religions in their
historic forms bind us to limited groups and militate against the
development of loyalty to the world community, the mystics have
already stood for the fellowship of humanity in harmony with the
spirit of the mystics of ages gone by. No one should question the
faith of others, for no human being can judge the ways of God. This
is an excerpt from the speech on spiritual progress. -H.I.M. Haile

For sophomore/senior-level courses in 20th Century Europe, Europe
Since 1914, Contemporary Europe. Earlier editions have also been
used in advanced (A.P.) high school courses on European history.
Clearly written and organized, this classic survey of European
political, social, economic, and intellectual history covers events
throughout the Continent from 1914 to the present within a broadly
comparative context, treating Europe as a single unit. The author
begins with a view of Europe in 1914 with an emphasis on Eastern
Europe, Scandinavia, the Mediterranean as well as on Western
Europe. New edition features thoroughly updated final chapter with
the latest research on contemporary topics.
Camus, Sartre, and Beauvoir in France. Eich, Richter, and Boell in
Germany. Pavese, Levi, and Silone in Italy. These are among the
defenders of human dignity whose lives and work are explored in
this widely encompassing work. James D. Wilkinson examines for the
first time the cultural impact of the anti-Fascist literary
movements in Europe and the search of intellectuals for renewal-for
social change through moral endeavor-during World War II and its
immediate aftermath. It was a period of hope, Wilkinson asserts,
and not of despair as is so frequently assumed. Out of the
shattering experience of war evolved the bracing experience of
resistance and a reaffirmation of faith in reason. Wilkinson
discovers a spiritual revolution taking place during these years of
engagement and views the participants, the engages, as heirs of the
Enlightenment. Drawing on a wide range of published writing as well
as interviews with many intellectuals who were active during the
1940s, Wilkinson explains in the fullest context ever attempted
their shared opposition to tyranny during the war and their
commitment to individual freedom and social justice afterward.
Wilkinson has written a cultural history for our time. His wise and
subtle understanding of the long-range significance of the engages
is a reminder that the reassertion of humanist values is as
important as political activism by intellectuals.
