The Inns of Court under Elizabeth I and the Early Stuarts: 1590-1640
English | 2023 | ISBN: 110884538X | 337 Pages | PDF | 2 MB
The Tudor and Stuart inns of court were major centres of learning and literature, as well as professional associations of practising lawyers. This book sketches the evolution of the inns from their medieval origins and traces the dramatic impact of the societies' rapid expansion through the Elizabethan era and beyond. Prest's comprehensive study based on original sources surveys the structure and functions of the inns, outlining key aspects, from tensions between junior and senior members to the nature and effectiveness of their educational role. Its lively prose locates the inns within the cultural, political, religious, and social context of Shakespearean and pre-civil war England. This corrected and revised second edition of a classic work addresses recent scholarship on the early modern inns of court and includes a new chapter introducing the book to twenty-first-century readers.

The Impact of European Integration on Political Parties: Beyond the Permissive Consensus By Dimitri Almeida
2012 | 216 Pages | ISBN: 0415693748 | PDF | 4 MB
This book traces the positions of national partisan actors towards the development of the European polity in an in-depth comparative analysis covering all member states of the European Union over a period of 60 years. The author examines the approach of the social democratic, radical left, liberal, Christian democratic and radical right party families, eliciting a comprehensive analysis of partisan positions on European integration. Demonstrating that attitudes and programmatic changes towards European integration must be understood both as the product of long-term ideological traditions and domestic opposition or incumbency-seeking strategies, this book examines how far common ideological traditions lead to the emergence of convergent European policies. Based on an interdisciplinary approach that encompasses political science, history and area studies, this book provides background and analysis, and develops theory in an open and accessible style that expands the understanding of party behaviour. Using party programmes and quantitative data, the book reveals considerable cross-family variations regarding the extent to which parties' genetic origins shape partisan responses to Europe. The Impact of European Integration on Political Parties will be of interest to students and scholars of European politics, European integration, comparative politics and political parties.

Eileen Burke-Sullivan, SJ Kevin F. Burke, Phyllis Zagano, "The Ignatian Tradition"
English | 2009 | ISBN: 0814619134 | PDF | pages: 208 | 2.7 mb
The Ignatian tradition sprang up in the sixteenth century, the fruit of graces bestowed on a Basque nobleman, Ignatius of Loyola. Guided by a passion to find God in all things, Ignatius and his first companions founded the Society of Jesus and inspired many other religious orders and lay movements. Their influence spread across the globe even as they embraced various aspects of the cultures, languages, and institutions they encountered.

The Hidden Hand of American Hegemony: Petrodollar Recycling and International Markets By David E. Spiro
1999 | 200 Pages | ISBN: 080142884X | PDF | 19 MB
Between 1973 and 1980, the cost of crude oil rose suddenly and dramatically, precipitating convulsions in international politics. Conventional wisdom holds that international capital markets adjusted automatically and remarkably well: enormous amounts of money flowed into oil-rich states, and efficient markets then placed that new money in cash-poor Third World economies. David Spiro has followed the money trail, and the story he tells contradicts the accepted beliefs. Most of the sudden flush of new oil wealth didn't go to poor oil-importing countries around the globe. Instead, the United States made a deal with Saudi Arabia to sell it U.S. securities in secret, a deal resulting in a substantial portion of Saudi assets being held by the U.S. government. With this arrangement, the U.S. government violated its agreements with allies in the developed world. Spiro argues that American policymakers took this action to prop up otherwise intolerable levels of U.S. public debt. In effect, recycled OPEC wealth subsidized the debt-happy policies of the U.S. government as well as the debt-happy consumption of its citizenry.

A. William Benitez, "The Handyman's Guide To Profit: Using Your Skills To Make Money In Any Economy"
English | ISBN: 0984248005 | 2009 | 106 pages | EPUB | 257 KB
"The Handyman's Guide To Profit" 2020 Revised Edition includes all the information you need to start a successful handyman business in your community using the skills you already have and basic consumer level tools. The 2020 Revised Edition is an updated version of "The Handyman's Guide To Profit" with price at only $10.95. If you were among the thousands who lost a job during the economic crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic or accepted a lower paying job, this book is for you. As a handyman you'll never get laid off again. Regardless of the economy, homes and buildings always need repairs. When the economy crashed in 2008 millions lost jobs and many struggled for years and some were still struggling to catch up when the Covid-19 pandemic hit. I was fortunate then but years before I had a profitable writing and consulting business helping federally funded housing programs across the country. My reputation was established and I was selling books, a monthly newsletter, and traveling to help communities leverage the housing funds they received from the federal government. Unfortunately, after a national election, everything changed and all the housing funds disappeared and so did my business. Just as those who lost their jobs, the money stopped. What saved me was the handyman and carpenter skills I learned in my youth. My limited savings were dwindling and I didn't have time to find a job. I no longer owned a truck so I purchased and outfitted a small trailer with all the handyman tools I needed and hit the ground running. After just a few ads in local weekly papers I was working everyday and making a decent living. At first most of the jobs were small and could have easily been handled by someone with limited experience and that was good because money flowed promptly. As time passed I started taking larger jobs and gradually moved from just handyman work to small remodeling jobs and finally, after renting a small shop, to woodworking which I continued for over twenty five years. Like losing a good job, a business failure can be traumatic and impose a serious financial hardship but with a few handyman skills anyone can quickly start making money. I know that first hand and my book "The Handyman's Guide To Profit: Using Your Skills To Make Money In Any Economy - Even In A Pandemic" can help you do the same on a full time or part time basis. This time, when the pandemic hit, I was luckier because of my publishing business but it's still a struggle. The economy has improved for many and the unemployment rate has dropped significantly but many of the new jobs are low paying so it's still tough for many others. Good paying jobs are often hard to find and keep. With your handyman business you're in control. Start out with small jobs that you finish quickly to maintain cash flow and then grow as you learn more. If you have home repair skills you can start making money now as a handyman using only those skills and my book as a simple guide. In "The Handyman's Guide To Profit" you'll find twelve chapters of valuable how-to information that teaches you how to: *Find new customers*Price every job to ensure profit*Get paid in full for every job*Expand your skills for profitability*Use the Internet and google to increase profits*Keep customers coming back and giving referrals*Handle your accounting and taxes easily*Become a highly paid home repair expertEverything you need to know to succeed financially as a handyman.
