This book is unique as it presents a concise history of Great Britain as an island kingdom from the reigns of William I in 1066 to that of Queen Elizabeth II in the present century. The preface contains an overview of the hereditary composition of the monarchy, the coronation portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, and a listing of the monarchs from 1066 to the present. The introduction contains, a brief history of the four countries -- England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales -- and how they came to be united as the Kingdom of Great Britain. The monarchy is divided into ten houses, or dynasties. A two--fold page layout describes each dynasty from the Normans to the Windsors. Each layout contains: a listing of individual monarchs and dates of reigns; depiction of coins with monarch images; listing of historical events occurring in each reign with marriage information; and two-colour sketches with narrative description of architectural buildings of the period. Thus, there is a 1000 year history of the evolution of architecture from defensive to domestic usage.

This book was written to provide a glimpse into what America thought during the primary election process of 2008, and to connect us to our common threads of struggle throughout history. Many stories were contributed via the internet and email, depicting raw emotions where a number of Americans were cloaked in disbelief, hysteria, delight, and confusion ... Some felt that the buzz surrounding a man of colour who dared to believe he could lead the Free World was a change worth supporting. Certainly the approach was classic; to most his campaign was without substance a societal thought reinforced by his overuse of the one line mantras, Yes we can... and, It s time for change - but history will perpetuate anyway that he received the Democratic nomination and was supported heavily by White America (as was first demonstrated by overwhelming support in Springfield, and then Iowa). That which was once considered taboo became a mainstream phenomena; massive support for a young unknown man who had the Audacity of Hope. . .

This book is a call to action, a song of grace, whispering softly to anyone listening for the call of inner knowing. For many, the call is so quiet it is perceived as a vague yearning for something more in life. This is the call of the songbird in your heart. This book has a simple intention; to help the reader recognise the simple magnificence of being and point toward the purpose of life. The story is intended to be read on a lazy, contemplative afternoon. It is inspired by the work of Dainin Katagiri, H W L Poonja, Don Miguel Ruiz, Eckhart Tolle and Marianne Williamson. The story is told within the simple, yet beautiful context of everyday life. While no religious and spiritual traditions are promoted, they are all encouraged and respected. It is the author s sincere hope that the readers accept his challenge to take charge of their spiritual life and find their true nature. The book is in two parts. The first is "The Magnificence of Being, A Simple Message of Grace" -- the story of a journey of self-discovery. The second is "Acts of Contemplation, Freedom for a Glad Heart" -- a series of exercises designed to demonstrate the principles of Part I through the reader's own efforts.
