Synopsis

In "The Ancient Stone Implements, Weapons and Ornaments, of Great Britain," John Evans meticulously catalogues the prehistoric artifacts of Great Britain, offering a comprehensive examination that intertwines archaeology and anthropology. His scholarly approach combines detailed descriptions with insightful analyses of the materials and crafting techniques used in these stone implements, reflecting a burgeoning interest in prehistoric life during the Victorian era. The book, rich in illustrations and archaeological context, becomes an indispensable resource for understanding the technological innovations and cultural practices of ancient British societies. John Evans, a distinguished antiquarian and numismatist, was an early advocate for the systematic study of prehistoric artifacts. His extensive knowledge of archaeology and his passion for uncovering the narratives embedded within ancient tools likely propelled him to compile this extensive work. Evans's dedication to meticulous research and clarity in writing provides readers not only with facts but also a compelling story of human ingenuity across time. This book is highly recommended for scholars, students, and enthusiasts of archaeology and history alike. Evans' pioneering work not only deepens our understanding of ancient civilizations but also inspires continued exploration of our shared human heritage. It remains a vital reference in the study of prehistoric Britain, appealing to anyone keen to uncover the layers of history woven into the fabric of our past.

    Don’t despair. Don’t retreat. Fight back. 
    A call-to-action for Democrats, moderate Republicans, and other anti-Trump dissenters, detailing the history of social and political policies, how Obama treated them, how Trump has the power to undermine them, and what people can do to fight back. 
    The stunning election of Donald J. Trump rocked an already divided America and left scores of citizens, including the nearly sixty-five million voters who supported Hillary Clinton, feeling bereft and powerless. Now, Gene Stone, author of The Bush Survival Bible, offers invaluable guidance and concrete solutions the resistance can use to make a difference in this serious call-to-arms—showing them how to move from anger and despair to activism against the Trump presidency and its potentially lasting effects on our democracy.   
    Before we can successfully engage, we need to be clear about the battles we face. Stone outlines political and social concepts—including such issues as Civil Rights, Women’s Rights, the Environment, Obamacare, International relations, and LGBTQ Rights—providing a brief history of each, a refresher on Obama's policies over his eight years in office, and an analysis of how Trump’s administration is threatening them. But lest we feel overwhelmed by the scale of the threat and settle for aimless outrage, Stone then provides an invaluable guide for fighting back—referring to organizations, people, sites, and countless other resources that are working tirelessly to restore the power of the people, safeguard our democracy, and ensure that none of us are left behind in our quest for relentless and equitable progress. 
    While marches and social media are important forms of protest, concrete actions that achieve real and measurable change are a vital part of the fight. Positive and reinforcing, The Trump Survival Guide presents the essential information we need to effectively make our voices heard and our power felt, during the Trump presidency and beyond.

    Fanny Price, in Mansfield Park, tells her persistent suitor that 'we have all a better guide in ourselves...than any other person can be'. Sometimes, however, we crave external guidance: and when this happens we could do worse than seek it in Jane Austen's own subtle novels. Written to coincide with Austen's 250th birthday, this approachable and intimate work shows why and how - for over half a century - Austen has inspired and challenged its author through different phases of her life. Part personal memoir, part expert interaction with all the letters, manuscripts and published novels, Janet Todd's book reveals what living with Jane Austen has meant to her and what it might also mean to others. Todd celebrates the undimmable power of Austen's work to help us understand our own bodies and our environment, and teach us about patience, humour, beauty and the meaning of home.

    In einer groß angelegten europaweit durchgeführten Studie – mit einem besonderen Schwerpunkt auf die den sog. Visegrád-Staaten – war es Zielsetzung, die Unternehmensethik als Wettbewerbsfaktor zu erforschen. Dies mit dem Ziel, die Voraussetzungen für den nachhaltigen Transfer ethischer Werte in die unternehmerische Praxis (das unternehmerische (Personal-)Management) zu untersuchen und daraus portable Modelle für die Implementierung und Validierung (Zertifizierung, Messung) ethischer Schlüsselwerte zu entwickeln. Leitfrage der Untersuchung war es dabei, wie sich der Bezug zwischen ökonomischem Interesse und ethischer Normenorientierung so vermitteln lässt, dass die Etablierung ethischer Werte im Unternehmensmanagement anstatt zu einer Einschränkung zu einer Erhöhung der Wettbewerbsstärke (Ethik als Erfolgsfaktor) führt.
