Holy Bible. It is a summary of the main issues presented in the Bible,

In 2017 an intense fundraising campaign ensured that what came to
be known as 'the Galloway Hoard' was saved for the nation. Since
then work has been ongoing to preserve and understand it. Over 5kg
of silver bullion, many unique and enigmatic gold objects, the rare
preservation of textiles and an unusual range of other materials,
make the Hoard the richest collection of Viking-age objects every
found in Britain and Ireland. Dr Martin Goldberg and Dr Mary Davis
provide the first full description of the Hoard and place the find
in a wider historical and geographical context.

Sylvia Pankhurst was a tireless activist for a variety of radical
causes, including women's suffrage, labour movements and
international solidarity campaigns. She made pioneering
contributions to gender and class politics, revolutionary communist
politics and the struggles against imperialism, racism and fascism.
In addition, Pankhurst founded and edited four newspapers, and
wrote and published twenty-two books, and numerous pamphlets and
articles. In this biography, Mary Davis provides a much-needed
reappraisal of a woman whose contribution to a wide variety of
causes is too often marginalised or overlooked, whether as the
employer of the first black journalist in Britain - the activist
and writer Claude McKay - or as an early campaigner for
pan-Africanism. Pankhurst's changing affiliations and commitments -
from her early suffragette activities, though her involvement with
disenfranchised and impoverished women in London's East End, to her
passionate embrace of the Soviet revolution, the cause of communism
worldwide and the fight against imperialism and fascism - mirror
the history of radical politics in the twentieth century. Mary
Davis's lucid and accessible account of Pankhurst's political life
restores a remarkable woman to her rightful place in
twentieth-century history.
‘The history of parliament in the UK has a consistent theme: the
refusal to accept any binding contract with the people. This
unacceptable status quo goes for Holyrood as much as for
Westminster. The time has come for people to challenge the power of
the ruling class. We want to see the Scottish Parliament become an
institution that it has so far failed to be: an institution
committed to the sovereignty of the people. We want the people of
Scotland to lead the rest of the UK by example, and ensure that the
actions of a government are bound by shared political and ethical
values. And we propose the first step: a modest proposal, for the
agreement of the people. Are you with us?’ ANGUS REID and MARY
DAVIS

How women can make it to the top by adopting the new rules of
leadership
Women hold just 11 percent of the most senior-level leadership
positions in U.S. Corporations--a number that hasn't changed in
over 30 years. How can women break through? "Break Your Own Rules"
distills the six faulty assumptions (or "rules") most women follow
that get in the way--then delivers the correlating new rules that
promise to clear that path. For example, the old rule of "Focus on
Others" must be replaced by "Take Center Stage," "Hard Work Will
Get You There" must yield to "Be Politically Savvy." "Play It Safe"
must give way to "Play to Win." "Ask Permission" must be replaced
by "Proceed Until Apprehended."Features the results of over 1,700
interviews with executives in Fortune 1000 companies, as well as
the authors' new research and ongoing work with over 5,000
professional womenShowcases previously-untold stories from high
profile women including Ann Moore (CEO, Time Inc.), Susan Ivey
(CEO, Reynolds American), Cathy Bessant (Global Executive for
Technology and Operations for Bank of America), Lynn Ford (CEO, ING
Solutions), and moreReveals what it really takes for any woman to
succeed at the highest levelsForeword by Sharon Allen, Chairman of
Deloitte
This hands-on guide is for women who are ready to transform
their assumptions and join the senior ranks of American
business.
This is volume 1 of six accessible volumes covering UNITE's history
from 1880-2010. The history of the TGWU is the core of this
collection, with a significant emphasis on the union's regions, as
well as several key themes, such as equality, internationalism, the
wider labour movement, and its attitude to the conflict between
capital and labour. This first volume (1880-1931) covers the
formation of the TGWU. It was rooted in an era in which, starting
in the 1880's, a mass trade union movement was formed. The drive to
amalgamate the unions was spearheaded by Ernest Bevin and resulted
in the creation of the TGWU, 1920-22 - a period which witnessed an
intensification of pre and post WW1 militancy. Such militancy
continued, albeit unevenly until 1926 and was met with resistance
from employers and the State culminating in the mighty
confrontation of the General Strike. Politically the union had a
close relationship with the Labour Party and its two minority
Governments (1923-4 and 1929-31). The defeat of 1926 marked a
watershed in British labour history in which, again, the TGWU
played a key role. Trade union militancy was succeeded by an
attempt at negotiated accommodation with the employers, known as
'Mondism'. Bevin was central to this development.
Bleuette is a nine-year-old French girl in 1905. She is based on
the French porcelain doll of the same name that debuted in a French
magazine in 1905. Bleuette comes from a family of moderate means,
but her class mates thinks she's from a well off family because she
always has new dresses. When she's invited to a fancy birthday
party by the richest girl in class, she can't wait to go and see
the fancy house. But will the girl learn she is just the daughter a
seamstress and withdraw the invitation?
