Four Britons and Nationalism: Henry Wickham Steed, Robert William Seton-Watson, Arnold Joseph Toynbee and Carlile Aylmer Macartney in/on East-CentralUp to this day nationalism has remained a powerful and durable phenomenon: nations in East Central Europe and beyond have not only survived into but even thrived in the twenty first century, while their deeply ingrained nationalism has remained incomprehensible to the West. This is despite the fact that the region has been a hotbed of ethnic conflict, where two world wars have started, and where even today (in 2024) there is no peace. The four Britons

Up to this day nationalism has remained a powerful and durable phenomenon: nations in East-Central Europe and beyond have not only survived into but even thrived in the twenty-first century, while their deeply ingrained nationalism has remained incomprehensible to the West. This is despite the fact that the region has been a hotbed of ethnic conflict, where two world wars have started, and where even today (in 2024) there is no peace. The four Britons profiled in this volume were among the few Westerners who made a sincere effort to understand the nationalist spirit which has historically played such an important role in the region.

These influential journalists and scholars were; Robert William Seton-Watson, the much-celebrated historian of East-Central Europe, the influential Vienna correspondent and later editor-in-chief of The Times (London), Henry Wickham Steed, as well as the world-renowned scholar and Director of the Royal Institute of International Affairs, Arnold Joseph Toynbee, and the British Foreign Office-expert on minorities and Hungary, Carlile Aylmer Macartney. All four lived in East-Central Europe for a time and learned its language(s).

Drawing on a vast amount of archival material, this book outlines Seton-Watson's, Steed's and Toynbee's pre-1920-activities that were rooted in the belief that national self-determination would provide "one cure for all". The volume then focuses on nationalism within the Successor States of Austria-Hungary during the interwar period and World War II.

Excellent Details
Format: Kindle
If you're like me, you've probably either never heard of these cases or heard about them in only the broadest of strokes. For remedying that, this book is excellent. Thomas provides a detailed account of how these complaints came to be, how they wended their way through the cases, and why they are important in terms of outcome and legal precedent. This is a book that I'm glad to have read and one that I would highly recommend to others.

engrossing, revealing, shocking, fascinating -- 10 gritty women who won big cases at great personal loss
Format: Kindle
Thankfully, women no longer have to pay more for retirement plans, and get lower payouts, than men. Amazing how many different, inventive the ways were in the 1960's to keep women out of jobs. Bless Title VII and the attorneys and clients who fought these battles; we stand on their shoulders. The saddest part is the update, at the end of the book showing how protections against gender discrimination in the workplace have weakened in recent years. In particular, it has become difficult, or nearly impossible, to prove that a hostile work environment exists so long as employers pay lip service to certain ideas and practices and hide what's really going on--which we working women KNOW still goes on, unfortunately.

Entertaining, personal history of landmark cases
Format: Hardcover
Amazing look behind the scenes at the people (plaintiffs and lawyers) who made equality for women at work a reality. Compelling, heartwarming, and educational - should be required reading for anyone who holds a job in 21st century America - both to learn how far we've come and to see the ways in which we need to continue the fight for equality at work.

Great Process for Presentation Noobs
Format: Paperback
I had already agreed to give a workshop to my co-workers about how to give more effective presentations when I purchased this book for prep. I immediately adapted the recommended process. After years of creating my own slide decks I have my quirky development process. Following the guidelines in this book will allow anyone at any skill level to methodically create a dynamic slide deck and give a speech that will move the audience to action. I wish I'd had it 35 years ago, when I first started making slide decks, before I learned the hard way that bullets kill.
