    “With penetrating insight, Lehrman unfolds the contrasts and similarities between these two leaders . . . I savored every page of this magnificent work.”—Doris Kearns Goodwin, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln  Winner of the Abraham Lincoln Institute of Washington’s 2019 book prize Lewis E. Lehrman, a renowned historian and National Humanities Medal winner, gives new perspective on two of the greatest English-speaking statesmen—and their remarkable leadership in wars of national survival. Abraham Lincoln and Winston Churchill, as commanders in chief, led their nations to victory—Lincoln in the Civil War, Churchill in World War II. They became revered leaders—statesmen for all time. Yet these two world-famous war leaders have never been seriously compared at book length. Acclaimed historian Lewis Lehrman, in his pathbreaking comparison of both statesmen, finds that Lincoln and Churchill—with very different upbringings and contrasting personalities—led their war efforts, to some extent, in similar ways. As supreme war lords, they were guided not only by principles of honor, duty, and freedom, but also by the practical wisdom to know when, where, and how to apply these principles. Even their writings and speeches were swords in battle. Gifted literary stylists, both men relied on the written and spoken word to steel their citizens throughout desperate and prolonged wars. And both statesmen unexpectedly left office near the end of their wars—Lincoln by the bullet, Churchill by the ballot. They made mistakes, which Lehrman considers carefully. But the author emphasizes that, despite setbacks, they never gave up. “Deeply researched and elegantly written. . . . a valuable contribution to our knowledge of the past. By expertly conjoining two great leaders in a single volume, he has enhanced our understanding of both.” ―The Wall Street Journal  Includes illustrations and photographs

    Family, Education, Beliefs and Law. 
    We live in a time of increasing conflict due to ignorance, misinformation and polarization. We must change this. How balanced order was and still can be achieved is described in this set of four books.  
    Heads filled with too many imagined injustices ignore realities generally experienced by the dispossessed and powerless, caused by "The Fortunate". A rebalancing is long overdue. But how? This starts and finishes through the actions of caring and well-informed individuals locally first, in areas of personal opportunity and influence, ever growing step by step. It is time to take command of enabling powers constructively, observing, sheltering, feeding and educating: positive change supercharged and empowered through action.  
    The best time to start change is NOW

    My name is Laura, I am 19 years old. I’m a student and I prostitute myself to pay for my studies. I’m not alone in this. It seems that many other students are doing the same thing. It all followed a strange logic, without me really realizing that I was falling. I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth. I’ve never known luxury or ease, but until this year, I’ve never lacked for anything. My thirst for learning and my convictions always made me think that my student years would be the most beautiful, the most carefree. I never thought that my first year at university would turn into a real nightmare.
    An unprecedented account of a contemporary phenomenon that has only become more pronounced with the prevalence of the Internet and cell phones. The Afterword includes a sociological perspective by Eva Clouet, author of the first survey on student prostitution in the age of new communication technologies, published at the same time by Max Milo.

    Earl Shoaff (March 21, 1916 - September 6, 1965) was a motivational speaker and entrepreneur. Shoaff was very influential in the early life of inspirational speaker Jim Rohn. At the age of 25, Rohn heard a "laws of success" lecture given by Shoaff and went to work for him. Rohn’s later work helped launch or further the career of many others in the personal development industry, including Tony Robbins, Mark Victor Hansen, Brian Tracy, and Jack Canfield. This recording is from a public lecture that Shoaff gave in the early 1950’s, and it is called “How To Become A Millionaire.”
