Book Description
The Trophies of Time presents the first comprehensive survey of the English antiquarians of the seventeenth century. In Britain throughout the period there was a persistent curiosity about the origins of the nation and its institutions, inspired initially by the publication in 1586 of Camden's Britannia. A remarkable campaign of scholarship developed, which attempted to imagine the vanished societies that had once flourished there. What could be known of prehistoric Britain from its monuments and language? Could the lay-out of Roman Britain be recovered? Was it possible somehow to retrieve the language, religion, and laws of Saxon England? The answers to these questions often had a bearing on contemporary issues of church and state and also enabled citizens to gain a new insight into the character and identity of their nation. Many of the most learned men of the age addressed themselves to antiquarian enquiry and this book presents lively and fascinating portraits of Camden, Cotton, Selden, Spelman, Ussher, Dugdale, Aubrey, and many other lesser-known scholars.

Book Description
Legislators and educators have been working tirelessly to pursue answers for years. Experts have warned of dire consequences for America's economy, our standard of living, and even our freedom, if the remedy isn't found soon. They say the schools are failing, there are too many bad teachers, the schools need more money, they have too much money the list only gets longer. Meanwhile, Boomerang kids in their twenties and thirties are moving back home, employers can't find kids who are willing to work, and the military is worried that many potential recruits are too fat to fight. So far not one of the critics has examined the issue closely enough to offer a comprehensive solution...until now. The Trophy Generation puts all this and more together in a complete analysis of the dynamics of education and childrearing in the twenty-first century and offers real solutions to keep America the strongest and foremost nation of our time. Discover what you can do to change the future education for the future of America.

Book Description
From the Wolfson Prize-winning author of God's Architect: Pugin and the Building of Romantic Britain Between the fall of the Bastille in 1789 and the opening of the Great Exhibition in 1851, history changed. The grand narratives of the Enlightenment, concerned with kings and statesmen, gave way to a new interest in the lives of ordinary people. Oral history, costume history, the history of food and furniture, of Gothic architecture, theatre and much else were explored as never before. Antiquarianism, the study of the material remains of the past, was not new, but now hundreds of men - and some women - became antiquaries and set about rediscovering their national history, in Britain, France and Germany. The Romantic age valued facts, but it also valued imagination and it brought both to the study of history. Among its achievements were the preservation of the Bayeux Tapestry, the analysis and dating of Gothic architecture, and the first publication of Beowulf. It dispelled old myths, and gave us new ones: Shakespeare's birthplace, clan tartans and the arrow in Harold's eye are among their legacies. From scholars to imposters the dozen or so antiquaries at the heart of this book show us history in the making.

Book Description
The Trophy Effect No matter how intelligent, capable, or successful you are, you may question your capabilities or self-worth regularly. You’re more likely to be concerned about falling short than you are to be inclined to anticipate success. That’s just how humans are wired. Author Michael A. Nitti offers a way to change that negative thought process. In The Trophy Effect, he explains the powerful, subconscious force that causes human beings to focus on their shortcomings (what’s wrong) rather than on the positive aspects of their lives (what’s possible). To break free of this dynamic, by stepping beyond your fears, Nitti walks you through a metaphorical journey of your mind, allowing you to not only see clearly the actual source of your self-doubt, but how to access your inherent passion and joy. Presenting a formula for freedom, happiness, and fulfillment, The Trophy Effect takes you on a spiritual experience of self-discovery, leaving you fully empowered to both override your reactive mind and take absolute control of your life forever.

Book Description
The theft of the Jules Rimet Trophy in 1966 is one of the most unusual stories in the history of football. The full story of what really happened has never before been told, and those parts that have been told have contained and perpetuated a number of errors. This volume sets out to put the record straight by telling the complete story. It is based on official FIFA and FA files, as well as information drawn from the archives of the German and Brazilian football authorities, police records, complementary newspaper reports, and most importantly, evidence gathered form those involved with the case itself. It presents a factual account not only of the parts that have become public knowledge, but also of the activities that went on away from the glare of publicity and which have never been told in detail before.
