In honor of the 75th anniversary of the 1940 Caldecott Medal award this edition reintroduces readers young and old to America's most beloved President through exquisite illustrations made from the original lithographic proofs the authors created in 1939. This delightful biography traces Lincoln's life from his birth in the Kentucky wilderness, to his shop-keeping days in New Salem, becoming a lawyer in Springfield, and his eventual election as President. Woven throughout are his legendary adventures, his humor and wit, and stories you won't read anywhere else.
Of our nation's historical icons, Lincoln is the quintessential embodiment of American possibility in his mythic-like rise from rail-splitter to Chief Executive and Emancipator of the oppressed. The admiration felt by Americans for Lincoln's humble integrity, his noble statesmanship, and his keen sense of justice, is beautifully captured in the illustrations and text. 1940 Caldecott Medal Winner.

Required for peace and security, economic governance, sustainable
development and humanitarian support, International Organisations
(IOs) are central to the structure of global governance.
Introducing the importance of governance in IOs, this Handbook
addresses the collective challenges and synthesises the expertise
of global or regional representativeness for international
cooperation. Addressing four key themes the contributors explore
approaches to understanding governance in IOs; who governs IOs; the
roles of states; organisational culture, leadership and gender; and
the influence of civil society. Chapters further evaluate
historical representations of successful and unsuccessful
governance, including effective governance; institutional and
individual accountability; and the need for reform. The Handbook
then concludes with key reflections on the frequently asked
question: have international organisations had their day? With
contributions by leading academics and practitioners in the field,
this Handbook elucidates the evolution of governance in IOs. It
will be of great value to students and researchers in international
relations, global governance, and gender and governance.

Adapted from a five-and-a-half-hour television miniseries, this
three-hour biopic chronicles 20 years in the life of Venezuelan
revolutionary Ilich Ramírez Sánchez aka Carlos the Jackal. Édgar
Ramírez stars in the title role as the ambitious, egotistical, yet
powerfully charismatic man who founded a worldwide terrorist
organisation and raided the OPEC headquarters in 1975 before
finally being captured by the French police.
HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved,
essential classics. ‘True! Nervous, very, very dreadfully nervous
I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease
had sharpened my senses, not destroyed, not dulled them.’ This
ultimate collection of the infamous author’s works includes
‘The Raven’, ‘The Fall of the House of Usher’ and ‘The
Tell-Tale Heart’. They focus on the internal conflict of
individuals, the power of the dead over the living, and
psychological explorations of darker human emotion. An American
writer of fantastical, bizarre and sometimes disturbing short
stories, Poe wrote in the first half of the nineteenth century.
Preoccupied with delving into the darker reaches of the human
psyche, Poe is inventor of the detective story and master of the
macabre.
