James McPherson’s classic book For Cause & Comrades explained “why men fought in the Civil War”—and spurred countless other historians to ask and attempt to answer the same question. But few have explored why men did not fight. That’s the question Paul Taylor answers in this groundbreaking Civil War history that examines the reasons why at least 60 percent of service-eligible men in the North chose not to serve and why, to some extent, their communities allowed them to do so. Didthese other men not feel the same patriotic impulses as their fellow citizens who rushed to the enlistment office? Did they not believe in the sanctity of the Union? Was freeing men held in chains under chattel slavery not a righteous moral crusade? And why did some soldiers come to regret their enlistment and try to leave the military?’Tis Not Our War answers these questions by focusing on the thoughts, opinions, and beliefs of average civilians and soldiers. Taylor digs deep into primary sources—newspapers, diaries, letters, archival manuscripts, military reports, and published memoirs—to paint a vivid and richly complex portrait of men who questioned military service in the Civil War and to show that the North was never as unified in support of the war as portrayed in much of America’s collective memory. This book adds to our understanding of the Civil War and the men who fought—and did not fight—in it.

SARAH and ROBERT who are brother and sister were ravenous. They saw the window of a house slightly ajar. ROBERT, who was aged 14, climbed through the window to see if he could find some food.

At The Old Bailey Courthouse in London, ROBERT was sentenced to be hung. SARAH was sent to Australia to serve her prison sentence. That's where the adventure started. All alone and frightened, SARAH goes on to open an orphanage for children in Sydney Australia.

The reader is invited to consume this work of nonfiction with a mind open to the new idea that global environmentalism has devolved into Ecopolitics as a partisan political special interest in the 21st Century. Sadly, consensus science that solves real environmental problems has been replaced with pernicious political propaganda and demagoguery. And, the cost-benefit analyses necessary for prioritizing and solving environmental problems goes unmentioned in the issues of global climate change - unmentioned because such analyses are incalculable in today's knowledge of climate science. This book is a rational synthesis of the massive, and often contradictory, volumes of information on global warming and climate change. This book cites numerous contemporary and credible experts on the issues of climate science and climate policy for a balanced assessment. The Author has dedicated his life to understanding and communicating the complexities, interrelationships, politics, sciences, economics and global significance manifested in environmental matters. Mr. Taylor has authored two prior book: "Green Gone Wrong" and "Climate of Ecopolitics."

Our genome has not changed in over 45,000 years, but the world has changed enormously and there are multiple mismatches with modern life. Homo sapiens evolved and thrived because we hunted down prey with the tools we made, ate a range of natural foods from the environment and led highly physical lives necessary for the proper functioning of our bodies and brains. Now, most of us spend most of our day sitting on our backsides, and more than 50% of our diet is made up of ultra-processed foods that hijack our brains' rewards systems while making us overweight and sick. Exposure to cold and heat caused our ancestors to upregulate critical stress response genes, which made us more resilient. Now, our thermoneutral environments are making us soft. We used to live in small tribal communities where everyone had a role and purpose. Now we are digitally connected and physically disconnected. Modern humans are the most overweight, depressed, medicated and addicted cohort of adults that has ever lived, yet life has never been so good Backed by powerful research, Death by Comfort explores exactly what's wrong and what we need to do in order to survive and thrive in the modern world.

Project management is one of those professions that has sort of evolved into what it is now. It started as part of management and then became more specialized, I think the problem is project management has never really been a proper discipline (in the same way marketing or engineering). A lot of people stumbled into project management almost like something to do on the 'side of their desk' as part of their normal job. With the massive amount of change in progress then it needs to be a proper discipline This is one of the motivations to write this book because I thought I could contribute to the knowledge and experience base to try and support project management generally

This book compares two major leisure activities – watching sport and engaging with art. It explores a range of philosophical questions that arise when sport and art are placed side by side:The works of Shakespeare, Rembrandt and Mozart have continued to fill playhouses, galleries and concert halls for centuries since they were created, while our interest in even the most epic sporting contests fades after just a few years, or even a single season. What explains this difference? Sporting contests are merely games. So why do sports fans attach such great importance to whether their team wins or loses? Do sporting contests have meaning in the way works of art do? Beauty is a central value in art. Is it important in sport? What role does morality play in sport and art? What value do sport and art contribute to the world and to the meaning of people’s lives?

Financial Services and Technology (FinTech) have collaborated for decades with mutual benefit, and it is not unreasonable to expect this co-operation to continue, especially with the development of emerging technologies. However, both industries are facing challenges. Financial Services suffer from regulation, client, and risk pressures. Emerging technologies suffer from their inherent complexity and implementation challenges. It is imperative that Financial Services’ firms understand emerging technologies to ensure they are implemented effectively to support both current business and future challenges. This book takes a pragmatic and critical review of Emerging Technologies exploring:What the technologies are? How they can be used? How they can be implemented pragmatically? How they could help address future challenges? This book provides an overview of emerging technologies within Financial Services to allow firms to understand their real benefits and how to pragmatically implement them for maximum benefit.
