  In this rare and mystical work, Manly P. Hall unveils the hidden thread of spiritual brotherhood that guides the evolution of humanity from behind the veil. The Brothers of the Shining Robe refers to the invisible order of Initiates, Sages, and Adepts who, throughout the ages, have silently labored for the advancement of truth, beauty, and enlightenment on Earth. 
  Through poetic symbolism and philosophical insight, Hall traces the legacy of these hidden guardians—from ancient Egypt and Greece to the esoteric schools of the East and the secret societies of the modern West. He explores their doctrines, their sacred duty to the soul of the world, and their constant battle against ignorance and materialism. 
  More than a history, this book is a spiritual call to remembrance: that there are still those who wear the shining robe—not of cloth, but of light—and who work for the regeneration of the human spirit. Their presence is known not by words, but by their silent wisdom and unwavering service.

  “Let the muse of history be silent, and make way for genetics.” Jean Tulard. 
  “Fascinating.” Jean-Noël Fabiani, Professor Emeritus, Chair of the History of Medicine. 
  
  Until recent years, many mysteries and rumors have surrounded Napoleon. Was Napoleon's body taken by the British and placed in Westminster Abbey? Was he poisoned with arsenic? Did he die of hereditary stomach cancer, as the English claimed, or of hepatitis and dysentery rampant on that unhealthy island? Was Napoleon III descended from the Emperor? Did the Emperor's physician remove Napoleon's penis after his death on St. Helena in 1821?
  To answer these and many other questions, Professor Gérard Lucotte spent twelve years working on this subject. He was commissioned by Prince Charles Napoléon (a descendant of the Emperor, through the branch descended from Jérôme Bonaparte, the Emperor's youngest brother) and Count Walewski (a descendant of Napoleon the First’s natural son) to work on Napoléon's DNA. Thanks to his genetics laboratory and electron microscope, he has achieved a gigantic feat that will astound all Napoleon enthusiasts.

  Countless books are designed to help leaders to become better leaders. But most resources neglect the underlying emotional struggles of both emerging and established leaders, who are often isolated and suffering in silence. Leadership professor Nicholas Rowe and counselor Sheila Wise Rowe offer their expertise in helping leaders process painful and traumatic experiences. Trauma contributes to how we lead others in either empowering or dysfunctional ways. Understanding how these experiences formed us is the beginning of the path to healing. 
   
   
   
  Woven throughout each chapter are five themes—invitation, attachment, remembrance, healing, and reconnection. Healing Leadership Trauma lays out the emotional challenges of leadership and offers encouragement, prayer, and therapeutic tools to help leaders face their pain and begin to heal.
