Provides for a selection of texts, together with scholarly introductions, from one of the world's great private libraries, covering a period from Elizabeth I to the Church's involvement in homosexual law reform. This volume of the Church of England Record Society, published in celebration of the 400th anniversary of the foundation of Lambeth Palace Library, is a tribute to the value of one of the world's great private libraries to the scholarly community and its importance for the history of the Church of England in particular. Thirteen historians, who have made considerable use of the Library in their research, have selected texts which together offer an illustration of the remarkable resources preserved by the Library for the period from the Reformation to the late twentieth century. A number of the contributions draw on the papers of the archbishops of Canterbury and bishops of London,which are among the most frequently used collections. Others come from the main manuscript sequence, including both materials originally deposited by Archbishop Sancroft and a manuscript published with the help of the Friends of Lambeth Palace Library in 2007. Another makes use of the riches to the papers of the Lambeth Conferences. Each text is accompanied by a substantial introduction, discussing its context and significance, and a full scholarly apparatus. The themes covered in the volume range from the famous dispute between Archbishop Grindal and Queen Elizabeth I, through the administration of the Church by Archbishop Laud and Archbishop Davidson's visit to the Western Frontduring World War I, to involvement of the Church in homosexual law reform.

"I've made a career out of challenging conventional sales wisdom, and I can tell you that very few writers have done this effectively. It's not demolition that's hard; anyone can say that everything you've ever read is wrong. The trick is building something better in its place. The Contrarian Effect does this well. It's filled with true stories about what works and what doesn't. It's fun to read and will challenge your thinking."
--Neil Rackham, author of SPIN Selling

The Contrarian Effect is not for wimps.

If you're one of those Neanderthal salespeople who doesn't want to adapt to the changing times, buy one of those books that will tell you what you want to hear rather than what you need to hear. Certainly don't buy this book. It could make you uncomfortable. It could suggest you change the entire way you and your organization approach selling. But, if you do buy this book, you'll make more money and you'll even be more popular. Plus, you'll be a better salesperson--and person--for it.

Use the gigs you get to get the gigs you want. You spend a ton of time building your personal brand to generate more speaking opportunities. You write a blog, record podcasts, post on Instagram, and upload to YouTube. You refine your speaking website, work on that book, participate in Clubhouse, and comment on LinkedIn. You share your expertise and insight freely. All of that hard work might get you one gig. And, unfortunately, none of those things will guarantee you the next gig. But what if you became a referable speaker? In this ground-breaking guide to building a speaking career, New York Times bestselling author Michael Port, co-founder of Heroic Public Speaking, teams up with bestselling author and world-renowned keynote speaker Andrew Davis to show you the fastest, most practical way to increase your fee and generate more leads.

Port and Davis show you why you need to stop investing in marketing yourself as a great speaker and start investing in your speech.

You'll learn exactly how 81 speakers built sustainable speaking revenues by evaluating the three F+E+E Factors and 10 sub-factors-factors that turn novice presenters into transformational keynote speakers. And you'll evaluate how to make the most meaningful impact through 58 professional speaker case studies based on six years of industry data. See how elegantly simple it is to make the leap from breakout rooms to the keynote stage. You'll leave with an entirely new, eye-opening, and refreshing understanding of how the speaking business really works and how you can make an impact fast. Do you have what it takes to become a referable speaker? You do. Go ahead, take a look inside!

CSAF's number one vector for 2010-2011 is, "to continue to strengthen the Air Force nuclear enterprise." Realizing many non-nuclear-enterprise-affiliated flag officers and SES civilians were either mid-to-senior captains or junior members of the Civil Service when the Cold War ended, this paper provides instructors with the tools necessary to educate and make conversant all general officer and senior civilians on the Air Force's nuclear enterprise. Using the CAPSTONE (officers) and APEX (civilians) courses as a foundation, respective syllabus architects should add a day to each course to introduce key Air Force and other Service (if so desired) nuclear enterprise topics. For both officers and civilians, this should occur on the USSTRATCOM visitation day. Due to ever-shrinking budgets, time management constraints for senior leaders, and a truly Air Force focus if Sister Services elect not to participate/add curricula, an on-line course could be constructed with personnel completing it upon CAPSTONE/APEX "graduation." Instructors and leaders throughout the Air Force could also use such an on-line course to augment existing professional military education and leadership development courses as well. The proposed unclassified version of the course will begin with discussions on Air Force MAJCOM contributions to the nuclear enterprise. Topics will include AFGSC wings, weapon systems, and the roles performed by AMC, AFMC, ACC, AFSPC, and AETC. Remembering that Airmen are the Air Force's most important resource, course attendees will also gain insight into special requirements levied on personnel and nuclear weapons equipment through the PRP and the NWRM programs, respectively. Furthermore, prospective students must also understand how AFGSC provides forces to USSTRATCOM, how nuclear weapons are targeted and executed, and why a triad of weapon systems and capabilities instead of a dyad or monad is vital to the national defense.

This study of the early nineteenth-century Church Building Commission and its churches first appeared in 1961 and has long been difficult to obtain. The author has now thoroughly revised it, adding much new material and a wealth of illustrations, many of which have never been published before. The book tells of the setting up of the Commission to build churches in the godless new towns, its trials and tribulations as it went about its work, the buildings it erected, and the architects who designed them. Historic and modern photographs, plans and drawings all reveal a huge diversity of architecture, much of it of the highest quality. It is now clear that, far from being a modest prelude to the full-blown Gothic Revival, the Commissioners churches were an essential factor in making the great Victorian explosion of church-building possible.
