Sinopsis

Corn Law Battles explores the tumultuous political and economic landscape of 19th-century Britain, centering on the controversial Corn Laws. These laws, designed to protect domestic agricultural interests through tariffs on imported grain, ignited fierce debates between the landed aristocracy and the rising industrial bourgeoisie.

 
The book argues that the repeal of the Corn Laws, often seen as a victory for free trade, was a complex process deeply intertwined with class conflict and the demands of industrial expansion. Examining the impact on grain prices, wages, and profits, the book reveals how these laws fueled social unrest and the formation of movements like the Anti-Corn Law League.

 
The book challenges simplistic views of economic history by showcasing how power dynamics and unforeseen outcomes molded economic policy. It investigates the historical context, key players, and economic arguments surrounding the Corn Laws, drawing from parliamentary debates, pamphlets, and statistical data.

 
Progressing through the origins and evolution of the laws, the book dissects the class dynamics, the Anti-Corn Law League's strategies, and the repeal's short and long-term impacts on British society.

 
Ultimately, Corn Law Battles provides a nuanced understanding of the Corn Laws' legacy and their relevance to contemporary discussions on trade, protectionism, and globalization.

    Tina Corner - Stolz has been driven by one mission for almost two decades: creating such an exquisite Member Experience (MX) for her peer advisory councils (PaCs) that, year after year, members wouldn’t think twice about renewing. And she succeeded. 
     
    A veteran of the peer group industry who sold her franchise for the highest multiple ever recorded and has trained and mentored hundreds, Tina cracked the code for MX as well as for how to skillfully moderate PaCs. She’s been teaching other driven entrepreneurs her formula for success through her Peer Advisory Council Academy since 2019, and now she shares her secrets in Your Seat at the Table: How to Create and Run a Peer Advisory Council. 
     
    The peer group space is competitive while being fraught with confusing terminology and lacking in organization and standards. As Tina says, it’s still in the “Wild-West stage.” If you’re going to attempt to navigate this precarious terrain, you’ll need a guide who can help you avoid some of the most common mistakes and missteps. 
     
    Your Seat at the Table: How to Create and Run a Peer Advisory Council is a how-to book that combines Tina’s deep knowledge and experience, along with cautionary tales and tales of triumph. And she does it all in an easy-to-read style that demystifies the jargon and presents everything you need to know, do, and decide, step by step, before you sign your first member and all the way through to selling your profitable business or winding it down. 
     
    Tina Corner - Stolz will show you why your seat at the table — the moderator’s seat — is key to creating a level of experience for your members that’s incomparable. And she’ll tell you who else and what else you need for your PaC business to be pr profitable. If you’re someone who doesn’t want to reinvent the wheel, this book is for you.

This is about staying in control when the paperwork starts working against you. 
    What makes this audiobook different is the exclusive bonus content after every chapter. Cian expands on each lesson with additional context, real-world examples, and tactical commentary you will not find in the printed book. It feels like having a contract expert in your ear, walking you through how these principles play out on live projects. 
    If you are tired of learning contract lessons the expensive way, this audiobook gives you the edge you should have had from day one.

    Today’s business leaders are always on the lookout for the information and tools to help them build high-performing teams, to lead with purpose, to remain engaged and to win the long game. Authors Sébastien Sasseville and Gabriel Renaud masterfully transform the lessons learned in the mind-blowing Race Across America into concrete, actionable and relatable business insights.
    		 
    When Sébastien Sasseville, an athlete with type 1 diabetes, decided to take part in the Race Across America solo, he knew he was embarking on the most difficult ultra-cycling race in the world. What he didn’t realize was that this experience, and the work needed to be done ahead of it, would inform his thinking around a team-building model that had application beyond sports and deep into workplaces and boardrooms.
    		 
    This crossing of the United States from west to east, in a time trial of no more than 12 days, forces the riders to stay in the saddle for about 21 hours a day. The challenge is impossible to accomplish without an exceptional team that follows and supports the cyclist night and day.
    		 
    Together, Sébastien and co-author Gabriel Renaud, a high-performance athlete, corporate trainer and leader of the race team, have taken the model they used to build the Race Across America team and written Building Unstoppable Teams, a tool kit for building highly engaged teams that can accomplish the exceptional.

    Managing your money and finances can be stressful and can take a toll on your relationships and well-being. But it doesn't have to be that way. Join certified financial coach and mom Jessi Fearon as she helps you get a handle on your finances and lays out the doable steps her family took to pay off all their debts--including their mortgage!--and pursue their dreams, all on a $47,000-a-year salary. 
    Jessi Fearon vividly remembers the day she broke down, knowing that her family could not pay the bills with a second baby on the way. Like many Americans, they were overwhelmed by debt and living paycheck to paycheck, wondering if it was possible to ever get ahead or even catch up. But on that day, something changed, and she and her husband decided to make a drastic lifestyle change that would put them back on the path toward their dreams. 
    Their decision not only allowed her to stay home with their children, but in two years, they were able to pay off their consumer debt, and, in six years, they paid off their home mortgage--all on their $47,000-a-year income. And now she shares what she's learned with others who are struggling just like she once did. 
    With been-there wisdom and step-by-step help, Jessi gives you the tools you need to:Take control of your finances with practical first steps to budgeting and understanding debtIdentify the four different ways we struggle with money and how each one affects the way we manage--or mismanage--our moneyReplace the lies you've been taught about moneyDiscover money-saving apps, financial tips, and ideas for generating additional income to pay off debt more quickly 
    Take it from Jessi: you don't need a finance degree or a six-figure income to build a great life for your family. Getting Good with Money will inspire, encourage, and equip you to achieve financial freedom that lasts. 
    Praise for Getting Good with Money: 
    "In the age of consumerism, Jessi brings calm into the chaos of living financially strapped by encouraging and guiding families to discover the beauty of living in financial freedom. No matter the size of your income, Getting Good with Money will lead you toward the stability you crave."
