Academic literature has to a large extent ignored how leaders
present themselves physically. This volume invites leadership
scholars to inquire rigorously into the physical aspect of leading
and leadership. By noticing and dwelling with the visible facets of
leading, the book suggests new possibilities for how leadership can
be created and studied.

The second of four volumes containing the edited texts,
commentaries and source notes for each of the nearly nine hundred
occasions of special worship and for each of the annual
commemorations in England and Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. Since
the sixteenth century, the governments and established churches of
the British Isles have summoned the nation to special acts of
public worship during periods of anxiety and crisis, at times of
celebration, or for annual commemoration and remembrance. These
special prayers, special days of worship and anniversary
commemorations were national events, reaching into every parish in
England and Wales, in Scotland, and in Ireland. They had
considerable religious, ecclesiastical, political, ideological,
moral and social significance, and they produced important texts:
proclamations, council orders, addresses and - in England and
Wales, and in Ireland - prayers or complete liturgieswhich for
specified periods supplemented or replaced the services in the Book
of Common Prayer. Many of these acts of special worship and most of
the texts have escaped historical notice. National Prayers. Special
Worship since the Reformation, in four volumes, provides the edited
texts, commentaries and source notes for each of the nearly nine
hundred occasions of special worship, and for each of the annual
commemorations. The second volume,General Fasts, Thanksgivings and
Special Prayers in the British Isles 1689-1870, contains the texts
and commentaries for the numerous and frequent special prayers,
fast days and thanksgivings during the wars which consolidated the
1688 revolution, through the long imperial wars of the eighteenth
century, and the wars against revolutionary and Napoleonic France,
as well as prayers and thanksgivings associated with Jacobite
risings, epidemics, socialunrest, and episodes in the lives of the
kings and queens.

Anxiety sensitivity (AS) is the fear of anxiety sensations which
arises from beliefs that these sensations have harmful somatic,
social, or psychological consequences. Over the past decade, AS has
attracted a great deal of attention from researchers and clinicians
with more than 100 peer-reviewed journal articles published. In
addition, AS has been the subject of numerous symposia, papers, and
posters at professional conventions. Why this growing interest?
Theory and research suggest that AS plays an important role in the
etiology and maintenance of many forms of psychopathology,
including anxiety disorders, depression, chronic pain, and
substance abuse. Bringing together experts from a variety of
different areas, this volume offers the first comprehensive
state-of-the-art review of AS--its conceptual foundations,
assessment, causes, consequences, and treatment--and points new
directions for future work. It will prove to be an invaluable
resource for clinicians, researchers, students, and trainees in all
mental health professions.
Aristotle's Politics is widely recognized as one of the classics of
the history of political philosophy, and like every other such
masterpiece, it is a work about which there is deep division. Many
readers of Aristotle are uncertain whether his Politics has any
contribution to make to contemporary debates about political life
and political theory. The essays in this volume aim to address,
implicitly or explicitly, this very question about the relevance of
Arisotle's thinking in contemporary political philosophy. Written
by leading scholars in lucid and accessible style, the nine essays
in this volume will be a critical resource for newcomers to
Aristotle.

Edward Pellew, captain of the legendary Indefatigable, was quite
simply the greatest frigate captain in the age of sail. An
incomparable seaman, ferociously combative yet chivalrous, a master
of the quarterdeck and an athlete of the tops, he was as quick to
welcome a gallant foe into his cabin as to dive to the rescue of a
man overboard. He is the likely model for the heroic but
all-too-human Jack Aubrey in Patrick O'Brian's novels. Pellew was
orphaned at eight, but fought his way from the very bottom of the
Navy to fleet command and a viscountcy. Victories and eye-catching
feats won him a public following. Yet as an outsider with a gift
for antagonizing his better-born peers, he made powerful enemies.
Redemption came with his last command, when he set off to do battle
with the Barbary States and free thousands of European slaves.
Contemporary opinion held this to be an impossible mission, and
Pellew himself, in leading from the front in the style of his
direct contemporary Nelson, did not expect to survive. Pellew's
humanity as much as his gallantry, fondness for subordinates and
blind love for his family, and the warmth and intimacy of his
letters, make him a hugely engaging and sympathetic figure. In
Stephen Taylor's magnificent new life he at last has the biography
he deserves.
After decades of neglect there has been a resurgence of interest in
the history of the Church of England in 'the long eighteenth
century'. This volume of essays brings together the fruits of some
of this research. Most of the essays have been written, not by
traditional ecclesiastical historians, but by political, social and
cultural historians, a fact which reflects the diversity of
approaches to the study of the Church of England in the eighteenth
century. As a whole, the volume demonstrates that religion and the
Church can no longer be regarded as a discrete subject in the
history of eighteenth-century England, but are central to a full
understanding of its life and thought.
Famously dubbed 'Bandit Country' by a UK government minister in
1975, South Armagh was considered the most dangerous part of
Northern Ireland for the British Army and Royal Ulster Constabulary
during the years of violence known as the 'Troubles' that engulfed
the province in the last three decades of the twentieth century.
This was also true for the helicopter crews of the RAF, Royal Navy
and Army Air Corps who served there. Throughout the 'Troubles' the
Provisional IRA's feared South Armagh brigade waged a relentless
campaign against military aircraft operating in the region, where
the threat posed by roadside bombs made the security forces highly
dependent on helicopters to conduct day-to-day operations. From
pot-shot attacks with Second World War-era rifles in the early days
of the conflict to large scale, highly co-ordinated ambushes by
PIRA active service units equipped with heavy machine guns,
rocket-propelled grenade launchers and even shoulder-launched
surface-to-air missiles (SAMs), the threat to British air
operations by the late 1980s led to the arming of helicopters
operating in the border regions of Northern Ireland. Drawing on a
wide range of sources, including official records and the accounts
of aircrew, this book tells the little-known story of the battle
for control of the skies over Northern Ireland's 'Bandit Country'.

This book explores the treatment, administration, and experience of
children and young people certified as insane in England during the
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It uses a range of
sources from Victorian institutions to explore regional
differences, rural and urban comparisons, and categories of mental
illness and mental disability. The discussion of diverse pathways
in and out of the asylum offers an opportunity to reassess
nineteenth-century child mental impairment in a broad
social-cultural context, and its conclusions widen the parameters
of a 'mixed economy of care' by introducing multiple sites of
treatment and confinement. Through its expansive scope the analysis
intersects with topics such as the history of childhood,
institutional culture, urbanisation, regional economic development,
welfare history, and philanthropy.
It’s Kwanzaa-time! Light the candles on the kinara! Fly the bendera, and tell stories from Africa! The festival of Kwanzaa was originated by Dr. Maulana Karenga to honor the customs and history of African Americans. The seven principles of Kwanzaa, called the Nguzo Saba, serve to remind African Americans of the struggles of the past, and also focus on present-day achievements and goals for the future. Activities at the end of the book include making your own cow-tail switch and baking benne cakes.
Poet and musician, artist and hostess, Lady Anne Barnard lived at
the heart of Georgian society. High-born yet egalitarian, she
travelled to France to observe the Revolution, rejected numerous
suitors, and lived independently. Her curious ways attracted gossip
right into her final years when she raised an illegitimate child at
her home in Berkeley Square. Written with full access to her
previously unseen private papers and unpublished memoirs, Defiance
shows Lady Anne to be one of the unheralded chroniclers and
pioneering women of her time.
The Indian Ocean, 1809. At stake: Britain's commercial lifeline to
India and naval supremacy. In one fatal season, the natural order
of maritime power since Trafalgar was destroyed. Storm and Conquest
brings together the terrifying ordeal of men, women and children
caught at sea in hurricanes, and those who survived to drive the
French from the Eastern seas. All shared a need to prove themselves
- to make a career, or a fortune, or a marriage - in places which
could be at once magnificent and terrifying.

’Livingstone’s Tribe is excellent… Taylor is an intelligent and stimulating companion’ Financial Times’At the book’s heart is a riveting examination of Livingstone’s tribe… the whites of post-independence Africa’ Independent on Sunday’Taylor’s expedition into the interior of the continent’s colonial past has got everything that such a book should have’ Guardian’Stephen Taylor, a third-generation émigré of British descent, finds a melancholy collection of white misfits and failures… as well as a heroic, dwindling clutch of missionaries still holding the line. The catalogue of theft, corruption, murder and superstition that Taylor chronicles makes appalling, fascinating reading. Yet Taylor is no Colonel Blimp, rather an anti-apartheid liberal who fled the old South Africa and welcomed independence for Mugabe’s Zimbabwe’ Daily Mail’Sights and travel experiences are vividly described and people both from Livingstone’s and from the other tribes are handled particularly well’ Sunday Times
The Grosvenor was one of the finest East Indiamen of her day, but
she ran aground on the treacherous coast of south-east Africa. An
astonishing number of her crew and passengers, including women and
children, reached the shore safely, but the castaways found
themselves hundreds of miles from the nearest European outpost -
and utterly ignorant of their surroundings and the people among
whom they found themselves. Drawing upon much new research, Stephen
Taylor pieces together this extraordinary saga, sifting the myths
that became attached to The Grosvenor from a reality that is no
less gripping. Taking the reader to the heart of what is now the
Wild Coast of Pondoland, he reveals the misunderstandings that led
to tragedy, tells the story of those who escaped, and unravels the
mystery of those who stayed.
