The collection, enhanced by both attributed and anonymous works, represents a spectrum of historical epochs, each piece resonating with the timeless appeal of understanding life's complexities. Notable are the philosophical treatises and the articulate translations that bring forth the subtleties of Eastern wisdom to the Western mind. The compendium benefits immensely from the diverse backgrounds of its authors and editors, each a luminary in their respective realms—be it philosophy, military strategy, or sinology. These contributors collectively illuminate the thematic cores of morality, governance, and strategy, aligning with Confucian and Taoist thought streams, as well as practical military philosophies. The anthology serves as a confluence where historical narratives and cultural dialogs meld, providing a comprehensive understanding of ancient Chinese ideologies and their persistent relevance in contemporary discourse.

    In 1913 Lieutenant General Sir Francis Lloyd was appointed to the supreme position reserved for Guardsmen, the command of the London Districts.  The war saw an extension of his responsibilities to include the hospitals and main railway termini in the metropolis.   He was also put in charge of the construction of the defensive circle of trenches around London.  Whether it was meeting hospital trains returning from the front with wounded soldiers, or visiting areas of the City that had suffered from the Zeppelin and Gotha Bomber air raids, Francis Lloyds presence would help to revive the populations flagging morale.  This led him to be described by newspapers as The Man who runs London.

    Giving My All captures the journey of Earl Martin Phalen as he navigates family, self-identity and purpose.As a black boy adopted into a large, loving Irish Catholic family at age two, Earl discovered at a young age that he was meant to stand out. Yet whether it was on the basketball court or early in his career as a young and ambitious “edupreneur,” Earl encountered opportunities that required him to give his all, but often found himself holding back. Earl faced both subtle and overt racism in his predominantly white neighborhoods, but with the love and unrelenting support of his family, he was able to overcome much—facing it most directly and intentionally for the first time when he arrived on Yale campus as a young athlete scholar. While at Yale, Earl gained a new sense of pride and purpose as he connected with his black and African American heritage. This would continue throughout his studies and into graduate school at Harvard Law, where his calling to education—particularly that of black and brown children—came to life. Earl has dedicated his life to improving the access poor, black and brown children have to quality education and opportunities.
