Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made

This book traces the study of American oratory from the ministers
of Colonial New England up to the time of Woodrow Wilson. Extensive
attention is given to great public debates such as those between
Webster and Hayne and Lincoln and Douglas. The public speaking of
religious figures, lawyers, and social reformers, as well as
statesmen, is discussed.
This book evaluates why cities choose to bid for the Olympics, why
Olympic bids fail, and whether cities can benefit from failed bids.
Attention is shifted away from host cities (or winners), to
consider the impact of the bidding process on urban development in
losing cities. Oliver and Lauermann show that bidding is often a
politically strategic exercise, as planning ideas are recycled from
one bid project to the next. As Olympic bids become more deeply
embedded in urban development and bid teams engage in legacy
planning, Oliver and Lauermann demonstrate that bid failure is
rarely definitive and is often a desirable result. This volume adds
a new and innovative perspective to Olympic Studies and mega-events
more broadly, with appeal to a variety of other disciplines
including geography, urban planning, spatial politics and sport and
civic policy.
Forced migration has yet to be sufficiently addressed from the
perspective of health policy and systems research, resulting in
limited knowledge on system-level interventions and policies to
improve the health of forced migrants. The contributions within
this edited volume seek to rectify this gap in the literature by
compiling the existing knowledge on health systems and health
policy responses to forced migration with a focus on asylum
seekers, refugees, and internally displaced people. It also brings
together the work of research communities from the fields of
political science, epidemiology, health sciences, economics,
psychology, and sociology to push the knowledge frontier of health
research in the area of forced migration towards health policy and
systems-level interventions, while also framing potential routes
for further research in this area. Among the analyses within the
chapters: The political economy of health and forced migration in
Europe Innovative humanitarian health financing for refugees
Understanding the resilience of health systems Health security in
the context of forced migration Discrimination as a health systems
response to forced migration Health Policy and Systems Responses to
Forced Migration offers unique and interdisciplinary theoretical,
empirical, and literature-based perspectives that apply a health
policy and systems approach to health and healthcare challenges
among forced migrants. It will find an engaged audience among
policy makers and analysts, international organizations, scholars
in academia, think tanks, and students in undergraduate programs or
at the graduate level, for policy, practice, and educational
purposes.
This book's aim is to make accessible techniques for studying
Whitehead groups of finite groups, as well as a variety of related
topics such as induction theory and p-adic logarithms. The author
has included a lengthy introduction to set the scene for
non-specialists who want an overview of the field, its history and
its applications. The rest of the book consists of three parts:
general theory, group rings of p-groups and general finite groups.
The book will be welcomed by specialists in K- and L-theory and by
algebraists in general as a state-of-the art survey of the area.

Considers naval leadership and management very widely, moving
beyond a focus on leading admirals. Many works on naval history
ascribe success to the special qualities of individual leaders,
Nelson being the prime example. This book in contrast moves away
from focusing on Nelson and other leading individuals to explore
more fully how naval leadership worked in the context of a large,
complex, globally-capable institution. It puts forward important
original scholarship around four main themes: the place of the hero
in naval leadership; organisational friction in matters of command;
the role of management capability in the exercise of naval power;
and the evolution of management and technical training in the Royal
Navy. Besides providing much new, interesting material for naval
and maritime historians, the book also offers important insights
for management and leadership specialists more generally. HELEN DOE
is a Fellow of the Centre for Maritime Historical Studies,
University of Exeter and author of Enterprising Women and Shipping
(Boydell, 2009). RICHARD HARDING is Professor of Organisational
History at the University of Westminster and author of The
Emergence of Britain's Global Naval Supremacy (Boydell, 2010),
Amphibious Warfare in the Eighteenth Century (Royal Historical
Society, 1991) and six other books. Contributors: GARETH COLE, MIKE
