Sinopsis

Indyref: the Scottish Referendum of 2014 in which 84.6% of the Scottish public voted, making it one of the largest voter turnouts in British political history.

This book is an inside account of the independence referendum campaign. It captures the highs and lows and twists and turns from a perspective close to the decision-making frontline, but far enough removed to offer a dispassionate and personal perspective of the unfolding events. Wishart takes the reader back to the energy, excitement and drama of the biggest political decision the Scottish people have ever been asked to participate in – a truly immersive experience, with people previously uninterested in political campaigning engaged in trying to win for their respective camp. 

The referendum changed everything in Scottish political life and its influence is felt in every one of our political institutions, and remains indelibly embedded in our political culture.

There is a very real sense that the many promises made around more powers for Scotland, made during the independence referendum 
by the uk Government, have not been realised.

The independence referendum itself may be long concluded, but its impacts, effects and legacy remain very much live. There can be no doubt that many of the constitutional debates that continue to take place today have their origins in the absorbing and beguiling campaign for independence.

In her new inspirational memoir, Dr. Hattie N. Washington reveals how a country girl from the backwoods of Meherrin, Virginia succeeded through life with optimism, drive, and a belief in God to become an honor student, a master teacher, a parent to two accomplished daughters, and a foster parent to numerous abused foster boys over twenty-two years. She writes about family, relationships, and the complexities of growing up during the segregation and desegregation era, when the strike at R.R. Moton High School in Farmville, Virginia in 1951 led to the historic Brown v. Board of Education 1954 desegregation case.

Ardennes - The Secret War

On the morning of 16 December 1944, a monumental German force of six hundred thousand men crashed into the Allied lines in the snowbound hills of the Belgian Ardennes. Why were Allied forces so surprised by this counterattack? And why have the German sabotage and deception operations that disrupted supply lines and outwitted Allied intelligence been so overlooked by historians? 
 
 
 
Through interviews with three key German officers undertaken shortly after the end of the war, Charles Whiting examines the Battle of the Bulge from a new perspective. Hermann Giskes, a German Army counterintelligence officer, sheds light on his activities directing spies and saboteurs. Paratrooper Freiherr von der Heydte tells how his men were blown over great distances but managed to engage and tie down thousands of Allied troops who thought Nazi paratroopers were landing everywhere. And SS commando leader Otto Skorzeny recounts how he led a handful of special forces, wearing US uniforms and driving US equipment, behind enemy lines to wreak havoc. 
 
 
 
Ardennes: The Secret War exposes the weaknesses of Allied intelligence and shows how, even when it seemed that the war would be over by Christmas, the Germans nearly turned defeat into victory.

Crucibles - How Formidable Rites...

Throughout human history, civilizations have stratified their citizens, often by establishing royal, priestly, executive, or warrior castes. Many who have achieved elite-level power joined their civilizations' premier organizations not through birthright or sociopolitical attainment, but rather by completing codified rites of passage that demonstrated their exceptional physical, spiritual, or psychological capabilities, and their deep commitment to their cultures. 
 
 
 
Crucibles: History's Most Formidable Rites of Passage explores fourteen elite organizations, with a special emphasis on the onerous trials designed to cull initiates from aspirants. It analyzes the underlying commonalities of such trials, describing how they work, why people are willing to subject themselves to such rigors, and how such tests benefit or harm the organizations that require them. 
 
 
 
Crucibles distills both positive and negative perspectives on tests and trials into actionable concepts which may be deployed in modern business, social, academic, or political spheres. In a time where there is a long-overdue focus on the ethical roles and responsibilities of cultural gatekeepers, Crucibles stands as a valuable resource for leaders and managers seeking to convert historic practices into useful, moral, and legal modern policies.
