Robert Taylor

Taylor's sermons on Christian history were controversial for challenging the established doctrines of the Church of England, and for introducing topics hitherto deemed blasphemous. Armed with years of scholarly experience and a keen eye for insight, Taylor tackles his subjects with energy and vigor. He preached at the Rotunda of Blackfriar's Road from 1830 to 1832, a time when the church still wielded power and crimes of heresy and blasphemy were still on England's statute book. The unprecedented topics of astrology and astronomy in Taylor's sermons led to him running afoul of these laws; he was twice sentenced to jail for voicing his explanations of the Bible. Formerly a doctor, Robert Taylor took up vows as a preacher following a period of study of antiquity. He was convinced that the Holy Bible was founded upon principles of ancient astronomy, astrology, and beliefs with origins in ancient Greece, Egypt and elsewhere. This differed from the orthodox opinion - that the Bible was the word of God received directly from the Lord - and as such Taylor became infamous for attracting the ire of church authorities. For his alternative take on established subjects, and lively yet insightful style of sermonizing, Robert Taylor's works remain popular in the modern day.

Asian and European countries have adopted different approaches to the conflicting priorities of economic growth and low carbon emissions. In this volume – based on the revised versions of papers presented at the 24th International Euro-Asia Research Conference held in 2019 – the contrasts between the schools of thought of each continent are explored thoroughly. Ranging from topics as diverse as city logistics, shareholder value and management practices, the EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement, Chinas geopolitical insights, sustainable agricultural development in India and the empowerment of women in Vietnam via microfinance, this book addresses sustainable development policies in China and Southeast Asia from many different perspectives.

The 1980s have shown the two superpowers, the Soviet Union and the United States, to be economically vulnerable. The race to acquire the skills needed in the twenty-first century is led by the Japanese, and if the promise of a unified market, scheduled for 1992, is fulfilled, the European Community will become an even greater economic force. China has enlisted EC countries to aid her ambitions; her increasingly educated population and untapped natural resources make China an emerging superpower.

This work presents the knowledge and skills necessary for successful written communication in family medicine. It is intended for use by teachers of family medicine who, as part of their academic responsibilities, are called upon to produce written documents in a wide variety of areas. The book has also been written to serve as a resource for leaders presenting faculty development activities in various aspects of written communication, including writing for publication, administrative and educational communication, and other topics of interest to academicians. The Task Force on Professional Communication Skills was formed in 1981 as an initiative of the Board of Directors and the Communications Committee of the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine (STFM). In early meetings, the Task Force defined its goal as improvement of the communication skills-both written and oral-of STFM members. A survey of Task Force members revealed that the greatest challenges lay in the area of written communication skills, although the needs are not confined to medical article and book writing, but extend to the full range of academic communication. The Task Force set as its first task the creation of a monograph on written communication in family medicine.

Written Communication in Family Medicine

Albertville. It was a place that should not exist in Nathan's world. A city that should have been a small town and which showed none of the ruin and devastation prevalent elsewhere. It was a city from another world, another reality. A city full of dark secrets. For Nathan Smith and his band it was a place to plunder so that their own community, Fortuna, might survive. But setting up a supply route was not to be as easy as they thought. Nathan soon finds out that organizing a group has its own particular set of problems, of which he himself might well be one. But whilst he had been away from Albertville other forces had been at work in the city, some of which defied explanation. A chance encounter will lead Nathan down a dark path from which he might not emerge. A path upon which he will learn a valuable lesson: There were worse things than the Eyeless in Albertville.

Much has been written about China’s economy, as well as its business management system. China's Global Political Economy, however, is designed to bring together these two perspectives, serving to enhance our understanding of China’s growing global role. Examining changes in the management strategies of foreign companies investing in China and Chinese enterprises doing business overseas, this book analyses China’s political economy in the context of the Communist Party’s changing policies. The introductory section begins by studying the aspects of Chinese economic growth as it impacts on domestic social issues and the projection of Chinese power abroad. Within this overall framework, it then goes on to critically assess the effects of foreign investment, business management strategies, human resource management, corporate social responsibility and the financial services sector. Arguing that the encouragement of consumption is a significant objective of the Chinese leadership, the last section is concerned with the importance of the food industry. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of Chinese business, management and international political economy, as well as policymakers and business practitioners.

It’s 1945. American soldiers return home to ticker tape parades and overjoyed families; Private First Class Donny Novitski, singer and songwriter, returns with the hope of rebuilding his life with just the shirt on his back and a dream in his heart. When NBC announces a national competition to find the nation’s next swing band sensation, Donny joins forces with a motley group of fellow veterans, and together they form a band unlike any the nation has ever seen. However, complicated relationships, the demands of the competition, and the challenging after-effects of war may break these musicians. But, when Donny meets a beautiful, young singer named Julia, he finds the perfect harmony in words and music that could take this band of brothers all the way to the live radio broadcast finale in New York City. Victory will require every ounce of talent, stamina, and raw nerve that these musicians possess.
