Why do leading political figures arise when they do? Does sibling position determine political destiny?Originally published in 1992, a leading Jungian analyst at the time, Louis Stewart wrote an intriguing study of the influence of family and sibling position on the destiny of the individual and on the future of society. He shows how the four basic sibling positions are related to corresponding styles of political leadership, and uses examples of US presidents and UK prime ministers to illustrate his point. Stewart argues that world leaders owe their pre-eminence to a matching of political zeitgeist with sibling position within the family and he provides fascinating and persuasive material on major political figures, including Hitler, Saddam Hussein, Gorbachev, Stalin and Ghandi.

The Story of Britain's Immigrants Britain’s story is, in so many ways, an immigrant story. 100 Immigrants Who Made Britain Great gathers one hundred short, vivid biographies that celebrate people born elsewhere who helped shape the United Kingdom’s science, sport, culture, politics, business and everyday life. From the cover promise — “Inspiring Stories of Talented People” — to the final page, this is an uplifting, fact‑rich tour of ingenuity and grit. Introduced by playwright and commentator Bonnie Greer, the book sets the record straight: migration is not a footnote to British history — it’s part of the fabric. Then, in crisp, page‑turning entries, you’ll meet household names and hidden heroes across four centuries. The Contents span icons such as Mary Seacole, Alec Issigonis, Mo Farah, TS Eliot, Zaha Hadid, Claudia Jones, George Frideric Handel, Malala Yousafzai, Richard Rogers, Anish Kapoor, Raheem Sterling, Valerie Amos and many more. Each profile foregrounds the essentials—birthplace, dates, and “Known for”—then brings the person’s journey to life in a concise, engaging narrative. You’ll discover the first Black professional footballer Arthur Wharton breaking barriers in the 1880s; Nobel laureates Dennis Gabor and Venkatraman Ramakrishnan transforming how we see and understand the world; entrepreneur Alan Yau changing the way Britain eats; campaigners Doreen Lawrence and Alf Dubs turning private grief into public good; and artists from Alek Wek to Lucian Freud redefining beauty and seeing. What you’ll find inside 100 bite‑size biographies perfect for quick reading, classrooms and book club discussion. A panoramic sweep of fields — medicine, engineering, sport, music, literature, activism, entrepreneurship and more. Accessible, informative storytelling that inspires pride in a diverse, modern Britain. Whether you’re a teacher seeking positive role models, a parent curating meaningful reads, or a history lover who enjoys brisk, illuminating life stories, this collection is both a celebration and a corrective — proof that newcomers have long powered Britain’s greatness. Add it to your shelf and dip in whenever you need a reminder of what talent, opportunity and welcome can achieve. Buy the book and start reading
