Just as parents can expect their children to encounter physical bumps, bruises, and injuries along the road to adulthood, emotional distress is also an unavoidable part of growing up.

Clear, practical, and to-the-point, this is a go-to reference that parents will find themselves returning to again and again as their children grow.

Free Download S. E. Winbolt, "Key to Latin Hexameter Verse: An Aid to Composition"
English | 2019 | ISBN: 0367142112, 0367142120 | EPUB | pages: 68 | 0.1 mb
Originally published in 1903. Samuel Edward Winbolt (1868-1944) spent his entire working life from 1892 to 1926 teaching classics at his old school, Christ’s Hospital. In his later years, he was best known for his work on Romano-British history and archaeology; but Latin Hexameter Verse, published in 1903, is the book by which he deserves to be remembered and which has earned him his place in the history of classical scholarship. Its subtitle and its stated aim of offering ‘help to fifth and sixth forms, and undergraduates at universities’ belie its true and continuing importance. Winbolt’s detailed, sensitive and copiously illustrated analysis of the technique of Latin verse-writing still provides the most accessible and illuminating guide to a just appreciation of the craftsmanship which went to the formation of the Latin hexameter, ‘ the stateliest measure ever moulded by the lips of man’.

Humanitarians are required to be impartial, independent, professionally competent and focused only on preventing and alleviating human suffering.

Free Download Robin Higham, "Diary of a Disaster: British Aid to Greece, 1940-1941"
English | 2009 | ISBN: 0813192919 | ASIN: B097J729L9 | EPUB | pages: 296 | 2.1 mb
On October 28, 1940, the Italian army under Benito Mussolini invaded Greece. The British had insisted on guaranteeing Greek and Turkish neutrality, despite the fact that Greece was never more than a limited campaign in an unlimited war as far as they were concerned. The British, however, were never quite sure that Greece was not their last foothold in Europe, and they harbored dreams of holding on to this last bastion of civilization and of protecting it with a diplomatic and military alliance-a Balkan bloc. These dreams bore little relation to military and economic realities, and so the stage was set for tragedy.

The question of why countries give aid and assistance to other countries has long been a topic of debate- is it altruism, or selfishness? The assumption is sometimes made that donors from developing countries might be more motivated by altruism than ‘traditional’ western donors. This book demonstrates that on the contrary, the provision of development assistance can be used to serve national interests, allowing so-called ’emerging’ donors to gain soft power in the international sphere by improving their image and global influence.
