History

PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

Although the fight for independence by ethnic minorities has received much attention recently, there is no study of how globalized sport in its most advanced form can help to stimulate it. This book shows how the 1992 Olympic Games raised the tension that already existed between Catalonia and Spain. John Hargreaves analyzes and explains the way in which the conflict developed and eventually was resolved in terms of the special characteristics of Catalan nationalism, the nature of the new Spanish democracy and the special role played by the International Olympic Committee.

Good Communications - What every manage should need to know

Halstead

At the close of World War II the author joined the War Crimes Investigation Team with the task of interrogating both victims and camp administrators in a number of concentration camps. It was the Holocaust seen at first hand. Confronted with the physical and moral bankruptcy of post-war Europe, he sought an answer to the old question of how it was possible to reconcile the suffering and evil that he saw with a God who was supposed to be good and, indeed, Love. The alternative to being able to answer this question satisfactorily was to turn from it with indifference or resignation in face of the impossible. Having explored many religious beliefs, his search turned from the attempt to answer the problem from within its own terms of reference, to find a higher law that transcended the apparent good and evil of human experience. 
In this book, the writer introduces three themes which are reiterated throughout. The first is that thinking not only affects but actually constitutes experience. The second is that what we accept as thought depends on the standpoint of perception, the "eye" that colours all that is perceived. The third is that the mental framework which characterizes the "eye" is also the identity, or "I", of the beholder. 
From this standpoint the writer suggests a new perspective from which everything can be regarded. He equates this with that altitude of consciousness which, in religious terms, is called the divine Mind, or God. 
The cultural climate to which his search had lead him was Christian Science, not in any organizational sense so much as a demonstrable law which offered a fresh and practical perspective from which to live and understand the problems of our times.
