Beschreibung

A Compilation of the Messages and Papers of the Presidents: James Buchanan presents a comprehensive anthology of the political philosophy, policies, and significant events of Buchanan's presidency (1857-1861). Written in a formal, historical style, the collection emphasizes primary source documents that illuminate the challenges faced by Buchanan during a tumultuous pre-Civil War era. This compilation includes inaugural addresses, state of the union messages, and letters that provide valuable context about the nation'Äôs divisive issues, including slavery and states' rights. The literary style is characterized by its somber, reflective tone, accurately mirroring the weight of the decisions that would shape America'Äôs trajectory. James Buchanan, the 15th President of the United States, has often been critiqued for his perceived indecisiveness and ineffective leadership in the lead-up to the Civil War. His background as a lifelong politician, diplomat, and lawyer informs the breadth of his writings. Facing deepening national discord, Buchanan sought to maintain the Union while grappling with both internal strife and external pressures, elements that obviously energize his communications within this compilation. This book is recommended for historians, political science students, and anyone interested in the detailed study of American presidential history. Through Buchanan's own words, readers gain unique insights into the complexities of governance during one of America's most critical periods, making it an essential addition to any scholarly collection.

    Do you feel confident at work? Are there times when you lack confidence but can’t show it? The role of confidence in successful leadership is both significant and undisputed and yet organizations are full of leaders and teams who don’t have as much as they want and, even worse, are not doing anything about it. 
     
    Attempts to develop confidence are usually confined to empty affirmations and vanilla-flavored self-help books. In contrast, this book provides an evidence-based code that outlines the steps we can all take to positively shift our confidence and that of our teams. Confident Leaders by Design is for leaders at all levels looking for a rigorous yet accessible approach to confidence development. Through research and fascinating anecdotes it reveals the surprising secrets to supercharging leadership potential through confidence creation. 
     
    Alongside the theory, listeners will practically locate their confidence sweet spot and explore activities like sludge audits, confidence curves, and self-efficacy circles which will help them to immediately start growing confidence in themselves and their teams.

    World War I, also known in its time as the “Great War” or the “War to End all Wars”, was an unprecedented holocaust in terms of its sheer scale. Fought by men who hailed from all corners of the globe, it saw millions of soldiers do battle in brutal assaults of attrition which dragged on for months with little to no respite. Tens of millions of artillery shells and untold hundreds of millions of rifle and machine gun bullets were fired in a conflict that demonstrated man’s capacity to kill each other on a heretofore unprecedented scale, and as always, such a war brought about technological innovation at a rate that made the boom of the Industrial Revolution seem stagnant.  
    	The enduring image of World War I is of men stuck in muddy trenches, and of vast armies deadlocked in a fight neither could win. It was a war of barbed wire, poison gas, and horrific losses as officers led their troops on mass charges across No Man’s Land and into a hail of bullets. While these impressions are all too true, they hide the fact that trench warfare was dynamic and constantly evolving throughout the war as all armies struggled to find a way to break through the opposing lines. 
    	Though World War I is almost synonymous with trench warfare, that method of combat was nothing new. There had been extensive use of trenches during the later stages of the American Civil War (1864-1865), and trench warfare was constant during the Second Boer War (1899-1902), the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905), and the Balkan Wars (1912-1913). These conflicts showed that modern firepower combined with entrenched positions gave a decisive advantage to the defender, yet European observers failed to learn any lessons from these conflicts, and the scale of trench warfare in World War I far eclipsed anything seen before or since, especially on the Western Front.

    Is moral philosophy more foundational than political theory? It is often assumed to be. David Schmidtz argues that the reverse is true: the question of how to live in a community is more fundamental than questions about how to live. This book questions whether we are getting to the foundations of human morality when we ignore contingent features of communities in which political animals live. 
     
     
     
    Schmidtz contends that theorizing about how to live together should take its cue from contemporary moral philosophy's attempts to go beyond formal theory, and ask which principles have a history of demonstrably being organizing principles of actual thriving communities at their best. Ideals emerging from such research should be a distillation of social scientific insight from observable histories of successful community building. What emerges from ongoing testing in the crucible of life experience will be path-dependent in detail even if not in general outline, partly because any way of life is a response to challenges that are themselves contingent, path dependent, and in flux. 
     
     
     
    Building on this view, Schmidtz argues that justice evolved as a device for grounding peace in the mutual recognition that everyone has their own life to live, and everyone has the right and the responsibility to decide for themselves what to want.
