During the past 25 years Elizabethan history has been transformed
by the work of Simon Adams. Famous for the depth and breadth of his
research in libraries and archives throughout Britain, Western
Europe and the USA, he has brought to life the most enigmatic of
the greater Elizabethans: Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester.
Together with his edition of Leicester's accounts and his
reconstruction of Leicester's papers, Adams has published numerous
essays and articles on Leicester's influence and activities. They
have reshaped our knowledge of Elizabeth and her Court, Parliament,
the localities from Wales to Warwickshire and such subjects of
recent debate as the power of the nobility and the noble affinity,
the politics of faction and the role of patronage. Sixteen of Simon
Adams' essays are found in this collection, organized into three
groups: the Court, Leicester and his affinity, and Leicester and
the regions. The collection ranges from much-cited essays in
standard textbooks to papers at international conferences, as well
as articles in a variety of journals.

This book ambitiously weaves together history and politics to
explain all of the major situations where mass atrocities have
occurred, or been prevented, over the 15 years since the
'Responsibility to Protect' (R2P) was adopted at the 2005 UN World
Summit. The author provides a history of human rights, mass
atrocities and the principle of the R2P from the perspective of
someone whose day job has been to work with the UN Security
Council, various governments and civil society to help ensure the
international community does not fail those who face the threat of
genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity today. It examines
the implementation of the controversial principle of R2P since 2011
and how we end the politics of impunity, indifference and inaction
once and for all. Using case studies from Iraq, Syria, Myanmar and
Libya, the book offers a unique perspective regarding how we make
'never again' a living principle, rather than a cliche and how we
end the politics of impunity, indifference and inaction once and
for all. It will be of especial interest to scholars, students and
policymakers working in the fields of international politics or
concerned about human rights, atrocities, the United Nations and
international justice in the world today.

A pathbreaking call to halt the intertwined crises of cultural
heritage attacks and mass atrocities and mobilize international
efforts to protect people and cultures. Intentional destruction of
cultural heritage has a long history. Contemporary examples include
the Bamiyan Buddhas in Afghanistan, mosques in Xinjiang, mausoleums
in Timbuktu, and Greco-Roman remains in Syria. Cultural heritage
destruction invariably accompanies assaults on civilians, making
heritage attacks impossible to disentangle from the mass atrocities
of genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and ethnic
cleansing. Both seek to eliminate people and the heritage with
which they identify. Cultural Heritage and Mass Atrocities
assembles essays by thirty-eight experts from the heritage, social
science, humanitarian, legal, and military communities. Focusing on
immovable cultural heritage vulnerable to attack, the volume's
guiding framework is the Responsibility to Protect (R2P), a United
Nations resolution adopted unanimously in 2005 to permit
international intervention against crimes of war or genocide. Based
on the three pillars of prevent, react, and rebuild, R2P offers
today's policymakers a set of existing laws and international norms
that can and--as this book argues--must be extended to the
protection of cultural heritage. Contributions consider the global
value of cultural heritage and document recent attacks on people
and sites in China, Guatemala, Iraq, Mali, Sri Lanka and
Afghanistan, Syria, and Yemen. Comprehensive sections on vulnerable
populations as well as the role of international law and the
military offer readers critical insights and point toward research,
policy, and action agendas to protect both people and cultural
heritage. A concise abstract of each chapter is offered online in
Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian, and Spanish to facilitate robust,
global dissemination of the strategies and tactics offered in this
pathbreaking call to action. The free online edition of this
publication is available at
getty.edu/publications/cultural-heritage-mass-atrocities. Also
available are free PDF, EPUB, and Kindle/MOBI downloads of the
book.
Is unabated inflation the new normal? Inflation is back and here to
stay. For companies, this means that the world in which they do
business has fundamentally changed. This book examines inflation
from multiple perspectives and offers actions and strategies for
companies to cope with and manage it to ensure their survival. For
businesses and consumers, it is not a question of eliminating
inflation, but how to cope with it in order to suffer as little
damage as possible. This includes not just price management, but
also sales, finance, purchasing, cost management along with
digitalization and innovation activities in equal measure. It also
requires corporate cultural change, which if managed fast and
successfully, the prospects of defeating inflation and thus
ensuring the survival of the company are good.

opportunities, to spread religious beliefs or for personal gain or
glory.With the aid of over 250 illustrations, maps and photographs,
this accessible reference work captures all the excitement and
spirit of adventure.

No one thought that Elizabeth would live to become Queen of
England. Her father, Henry VIII, beheaded her mother, Anne Bolyn,
for treason in 1536. He then disowned his daughter, declaring her
illegitimate. But in 1544, Parliament reestablished the young
princess in the line of succession after her half brother and her
half sister. Endowed with immense personal courage and a keen
awareness of her responsibility as a ruler, Elizabeth commanded
throughout her reign the unwavering respect and allegiance of her
subjects.

This collection of hitherto unpublished material sheds important
light on the English court and its relationship with a wider
political society in the sixteenth century. The 'Journall' of
political events covering 1547-52 and 1559-1562, possibly by the
'commonwealth man' John Hayles, offers arresting insights on court
politics, foreign affairs and events in the life of London. It is
published alongside a related account of the rivalry between the
Dukes of Somerset and Northumberland. Court religious ceremonial is
illustrated through an edition of regulations for the royal chapel.
The memoir of Jean Malliet, sent to England to solicit a loan for
the beleaguered city of Geneva in 1582-3, demonstrates the
'Calvinist international' at work. A tranche of letters from Sir
Robert Cecil to Sir Christopher Hatton offers fresh material on
court politics in this period.
