The state is one of the most important concepts in explaining the
shape of modern life. It is also a concept surrounded with much
dispute. What exactly is the state? How important is it in
influencing personal conduct? Does it act impartially? What changes
has it undergone? What are the varieties of state organization?
These three volumes, edited by John Hall - one of the world's best
respected commentators on the subject - provide scholars and
students with a reliable and comprehensive guide to these
questions. The volumes will be essential reading for anyone with a
serious interest in the state.
The digital revolution is changing virtually every aspect of the
business world. However, most attempts at the digital
transformation of enterprises fail - largely because of a lack of
comprehensive and coherent strategy. This book takes lessons
learned from the rise of the digital platform giants and explores
how they can be adapted and effectively applied to established
businesses, allowing them to compete within the new digital
business paradigm. Offering a holistic perspective on the business
and technology landscape, the book describes the megatrends,
evolution and impact of digital technologies and business models.
It brings together what for many is a disjointed set of business
transformation imperatives, to provide a practical guide to digital
success. Drawing on the authors' decades of experience in
supporting transformation and innovation, the book lays out a path
to a progressive iteration of business change and value
realization, balancing the perspectives of revolutionary
transformation and change-enabling optimization.

The 2009 International Symposium on Rule Interchange and
Applications (RuleML 2009), collocated in Las Vegas, Nevada, with
the 12th International Business Rules Forum, was the premier place
to meet and to exchange ideas from all ?elds of rules technologies.
The aims of RuleML 2009 were both to present new and interesting
research results and to show successfully deployed
rule-basedapplications.This annualsymposium is the ?agshipevent of
the Rule Markup and Modeling Initiative (RuleML). The RuleML
Initiative (www.ruleml.org) is a non-pro't umbrella organi- tion of
several technical groups organized by representatives from
academia, industry and public sectors working on rule technologies
and applications. Its aim is to promote the study, research and
application of rules in heterogeneous distributed environments such
as the Web. RuleML maintains e?ective links with other major
international societies and acts as intermediary between v- ious
'specialized' rule vendors, applications, industrial and academic
research groups, as well as standardization e?orts from, for
example, W3C, OMG, and OASIS. To emphasize the importance of rule
standards RuleML 2009 featured, besides a number of tutorials on
various rule aspects, a tutorial and a workshop dedicated to the
newly released W3C Rule Interchange Format (RIF).
In the last two decades, civil society has re-emerged as a popular
notion amongst academics and politicians alike. John A. Hall and
Frank Trentmann provide the first critical selection of texts on
the evolution of civil society as a seminal and hotly debated idea
from the seventeenth century to the present. Combining European
texts with global debates about civil society, including texts
about Islam, China, and human rights, this critical edition is
essential reading for students and academics in history, sociology,
politics, and international relations as well as social activists
interested in civil society today.
The unique role that Westminster Abbey has played in the life of
the nation is revealed, detailing the special relationship it holds
with the Royal Family and what it meant to the Queen. The Queen,
when she was 21, declared that her whole life, whether it was long
or short, would be devoted to service. At her coronation, she was
set apart for service after the example of Jesus Christ. During Her
Majesty's diamond jubilee year, the Dean of Westminster recalled
the coronation, and special commemorations attended by The Queen in
Westminster Abbey, including the marriage of the Duke and Duchess
of Cambridge (which reached a television audience of 2.2 billion
people). He offers an insight into some very special occasions -
not all widely known - and reflects on a pattern of leadership as
devoted service.
You won't be able to stop reading once you pick up Dr. John Hall's
terrifying account, A New Breed: Satellite Terrorism in America.
Dr. Hall's narration is based on true-life events and what you'll
find will open your eyes to a completely new form of terrorism. Dr.
Hall has treated numerous patients who have complained about voices
in their heads, eventually being driven to a form of serious
psychosis. In his book, he describes his relationship with his
significant other, Mallory, a young, attractive woman with a bright
future. Upon beginning a new profession, Mallory was suddenly
struck down by unexplainable happenings: mind control,
surveillance, stalking, and rape. Hall and others sacrificed
themselves and their careers to bring her nightmare to an end. What
happened to Mallory and what is happening to countless others?
Hall's supposition is that we are faced with a type of terrorism
that is unseen but just as deadly. Our government satellite
surveillance systems are a new way for criminals to gain possession
not only of our financial lives, but our most precious resource:
Our minds. What can we do and who are these individuals who are
trying to control the way the think, feel, act and what we do?
Author Bio: Dr. John Hall has published numerous articles in
professional journals and currently works as a medical doctor
practicing anesthesia and pain management. Dr. Hall is currently
working on a second book detailing what safeguards one can take
against satellite surveillance. He lives near San Antonio, Texas.

The vital issue facing urban America during the 1960's--the
downward spiral of poverty, deterioration, and exploitation in poor
neighborhoods--was attacked by The Woodlawn Organization (TWO) in
Chicago. John Hall Fish, an active participant in TWO, tells the
story of one of the most exciting, controversial, and significant
experiments in community control. Founded in 1961 by a group of
clergymen, with tactical advice from Saul Alinsky, TWO grew to
become the major force for community development and
self-government in the Woodlawn area. The author traces TWO's
history as it struggled to achieve significant community control
over the problems that threatened the black inner-city community.
He concentrates on three controversial programs: the Youth Project
(involving the Blackstone Rangers), the Woodlawn Experimental
Schools project, and the Model Cities program. Although TWO
ultimately failed to overcome the entrenched opposition of city
agencies, its very survival, the author argues, is a measure of its
success. For as the cumbersome urban bureaucracies prove ever more
ineffective, it is the existence of organized and experienced
community organizations that will determine the possibility of
neighborhood rebirth and renewal. Originally published in 1973. The
Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology
to again make available previously out-of-print books from the
distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These
editions preserve the original texts of these important books while
presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The
goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access
to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books
published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

do many successful businesses and leaders have in common? They're

particular industries. How do you achieve this level of trust that
influences people to think of you in the right way at the right
time? By developing habits and strategies that focus on engaging
your audience, creating meaningful relationships, and delivering
value consistently, day in and day out. It's the winning approach
John Hall used to build Influence & Co. into one of "America's
Most Promising Companies," according to Forbes. In this
step-by-step guide, he shows you how to use content to keep your
brand front and center in the minds of decision makers who matter.
He reveals: - how consumer needs and expectations have changed and
what this shift means for you - how to build a helpful, authentic,
and consistent brand that serves others just as well as it serves
you - proven methods for using digital content to enrich your
target audience's lives in ways that build real, lasting trust
Whether you're a marketing leader engaging an audience of potential
customers, a business leader looking to humanize your company
brand, or an industry up-and-comer seeking to build influence,
maintaining a prominent spot in your audience's minds will increase
the likelihood that the moment they need to make a choice, you'll
be the first one they call. There's no better way to drive
opportunities that result in increased revenue and growth. Business
is never "just" business. It's always about relationships. It's
always about a human connection. When you're viewed as a valuable,
trustworthy partner, the opportunities are endless. Position
yourself for success by establishing and developing content-driven
relationships that keep you and your brand Top of Mind.
