Sinopse

The Maner of the Tryumphe of Caleys and Bulleyn is a fascinating historical account that delves into the ceremonial pageantry surrounding the 1544 triumphal entry into Calais, France, and the subsequent celebrations in Bulleyn. Written in a richly descriptive style, the text captures the intricate details of the events, from the opulent costumes to the symbolic performances that underscored the power dynamics of the period. This work not only serves as a chronicle of a specific moment in Anglo-French relations but also reflects the broader context of Tudor England's political ambitions and cultural exchanges, marked by elaborate rituals and expressions of national pride. This book is attributed to various authors, incorporating a collective perspective that reveals the collaborative nature of historical documentation during the Renaissance. The contributors were likely influenced by the tumultuous political atmosphere of the time, particularly the reign of Henry VIII, who sought to solidify his legacy through grand acts of diplomacy and conquest. Their nuanced descriptions reflect an awareness of how such public spectacles played a crucial role in shaping public opinion and political narratives. Readers interested in early modern history, performance studies, or cultural rituals will find The Maner of the Tryumphe of Caleys and Bulleyn to be an invaluable resource. Its vivid imagery and rich historical context not only entertain but also provoke deeper reflections on the interplay between spectacle and power in shaping national identity.

Otherful - How To Change The...

Mike Kleba, Ryan O'Hara

What’s the secret to becoming a successful, inspiring school leader? Learning how to unlock and support greatness…in OTHERS.
With apologies to the Navy Seals, professional sports coaches, and Fortune 500 CEOs:
Your leadership advice doesn’t always apply to what's going on in education.
Leading at school isn't like leading anywhere else. We should probably stop pretending that it is.
At school, we must serve any and all clients (whether they pay or not), it's nearly impossible to fire our people (we love tenure but there are downsides to everything), and we are often supervised by elected officials (many of whom have never worked a day in our profession).
From an extraordinary partnership between a teacher and an administrator, best-selling Otherful is the easy-to-read (and laugh-out-loud) book for those who’ve discovered that influence is mightier than control. Research-backed and practitioner-tested, it’s a brilliant resource for in-school PD, administrator leadership classes, and faculty retreats. Otherful reveals an ancient truth of leadership: the most formidable power isn’t force; it’s relationship building.
Otherful will give you the tools to:
● Replace faculty complaining with proactive problem-solving
● Undercut conflict through active listening and tactical reframing
● Do less work, get better results, and be respected more
"DESPERATELY NEEDED IN EDUCATION... Otherful is NONSTOP TAKEAWAYS, ACTION PLANS, AND FUN with insights that defy the confines of school and will impact your work in any organization." -Greg Rosenbaum, Senior Director of SXSWEDU
"...AN EXCEPTIONAL BOOK...Kleba & O'Hara's book could sit comfortably in a business bookcase under leadership development." -Getting Smart
Don’t be selfless or selfish; be otherful

The Revolutionary Self - Social...

Lynn Hunt

An illuminating exploration of the tensions between self and society in the age of revolutions. 
 
 
 
The eighteenth century was a time of cultural friction: individuals began to assert greater independence and there was a new emphasis on social equality. In this surprising history, Lynn Hunt examines women's expanding societal roles, such as using tea to facilitate conversation between the sexes in Britain. In France, women also pushed boundaries by becoming artists, and printmakers' satiric takes on the elite gave the lower classes a chance to laugh at the upper classes and imagine the potential of political upheaval. Hunt also explores how promotion in French revolutionary armies was based on men's singular capabilities, rather than noble blood, and how the invention of financial instruments such as life insurance and national debt related to a changing idea of national identity. Wide-ranging and thought-provoking, The Revolutionary Self is a fascinating exploration of the conflict between individualism and the group ties that continues to shape our lives today.

Mahatma Gandhi - The Most Famous...

Kelly Mass

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was an Indian attorney, anti-colonial patriot, and political ethicist who used nonviolent resistance to lead the triumphant struggle for India's independence from British rule, motivating civil liberties and liberty movements around the globe. The epithet Mahtm (which means "great-souled" or "age-old" in Sanskrit) was at first appointed to him in South Africa in the year 1914 and is now used all across the world.
Gandhi was born into a Hindu family in seaside Gujarat and studied law at the Inner Temple in London.
In the year 1893, he came to South Africa to represent an Indian business owner in a case after 2 years in India, where he was not able to establish a rewarding law practice.
He spent the next 21 years of his life in South Africa. Gandhi raised his family here and was the first to use nonviolent resistance in a civil liberties struggle.
He went back to India in the year 1915, at the age of 45. He started setting in motion peasants, farmers, and city workers to fight oppression and high land taxes. Gandhi led statewide projects to reduce poverty, promote women's rights, build spiritual and ethnic amity, get rid of untouchability, and, above all, accomplish swaraj, or self-rule, after presuming management of the Indian National Congress in the year 1921.
Gandhi has meant much for the peace, the independence, and the culture of India, as well as his acts of non-violent resistance that have influenced the world. Let’s take a look at what else he did.
