Fifty Quick Ideas to Improve Your Retrospectives

First published in 1947, this bestselling historical novel is cherished and remembered as one of the finest retellings of the Civil War saga—America's own War and Peace. In the first hard pinch of the Civil War, five siblings of an established Confederate Virginia family learn that their father is the grandfather of Abraham Lincoln. The family's story, and the story of their descendants, is presented in this tale that includes both soldiers and civilians—complete with their boasting, ambition, and arrogance, but also their patience, valor, and shrewdness. The grandnephew of General James Longstreet, the author brings to life one of the most extraordinary periods in history, and details war as it really is—a disease from which, win or lose, no nation ever completely recovers.

Kevin Hickson

This year marks the twentieth anniversary of one of the most momentous general elections this country has ever seen. John Major's defeat in 1997 ended a record eighteen years of Tory government, prompting accusations of failure and ignominy. A controversial leader, Major oversaw numerous crises in international and domestic policy. Between 1990 and 1997, he presided over Britain's participations in the Gulf War, the start of the Northern Ireland peace process, the Maastricht Treaty negotiations and, famously, Black Wednesday and Britain's exit from the ERM. Towards the end, Major's government was split over Europe and ridden with allegations of sleaze. Widely criticised by the media and politicians from all parties, Major went on to be crushed by Tony Blair and New Labour in the 1997 general election. An Unsuccessful Prime Minister? is the first wide-ranging appraisal of John Major's government in nearly two decades. This book reconsiders the role of John Major as Prime Minister and the policy achievements of his government. Major's government faced many more constraints and left behind a more enduring legacy than his critics allowed at the time or since.

John Major: An Unsuccessful Prime Minister?

"Even if there are only one or two validated Near Death Experiences in the AWARE study, then this proves the existence of the soul." This is the remarkable hypothesis generated by the author and medical scientist, Ben Williams. In AWARE of AWARE, the clear rationale behind this hypothesis is explained in lay terms. The book also details the enormous implications this study has for mankind: what to expect from the afterlife; evidence of heaven and hell, but not as you've been told; the existence of the Being Of Light (God); and the death of the soul. In the last quarter of the book, the question is asked: "Do any, just one or none of the Major Prophets completely represent the Being of Light?" If you have an unquestioning loyalty to Hinduism, Moral Relativism, Atheism, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism or orthodox Christianity, then you may find the conclusions of this objective analysis unsettling. If, on the other hand, you have an open mind, are intrigued by the idea that there is conclusive evidence of the existence of the soul and are keen to learn about how to look after that soul, then this might just be one of the most important books you ever buy.
