New/New. <p><strong>Author:</strong> Moises Naim</p><p><strong>Publisher:</strong> Gildan Audio</p><p><strong>Binding:</strong> Hardcover</p><p><strong>ISBN:</strong> 9781469031200</p><p><strong>Release Date:</strong> 2015</p><p><strong>Details:</strong> We know that power is shifting: From west to east and north to south from presidential palaces to public squares from once formidable corporate behemoths to nimble startups and slowly but surely from men to women. But power is not merely shifting and dispersing. It is also decaying. Those in power today are more constrained in what they can do with it and more at risk of losing it than ever before.In The End of Power award-winning columnist and former Foreign Policy editor Moises Naim illuminates the struggle between once-dominant megaplayers and the new micropowers challenging them in every field of human endeavor. Drawing on provocative original research Naim shows how the antiestablishment drive of micropowers can topple tyrants dislodge monopolies and open remarkable new opportunities but it can also lead to chaos and paralysis. He deftly covers the seismic changes underway in business religion education within families and in all matters of war and peace. Examples abound in all walks of life: In 1977 eighty-nine countries were ruled by autocrats while today more than half the world's population lives in democracies. Major business leaders are more constrained and have shorter tenures than their predecessors. Modern tools of war cheaper and more accessible make it possible for groups like Hezbollah to afford their own drones. In the second half of 2010 the top ten hedge funds earned more than the world's largest six banks combined.Those in power retain it by erecting powerful barriers to keep challengers at bay. Today insurgent forces dismantle those barriers more quickly and easily than ever only to find that they themselves become vulnerable in the process. Accessible and captivating Naim offers a revolutionary look at the inevitable end of power--and how it will change your world.</p> Gildan Audio hardcover

Uncommon in this condition from this time period.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ## William Stainton Moses 1839-1892: Anglican priest influential spiritualist and one of Victorian Britain's most prominent mediums<br /> <br /> William Stainton Moses is a fascinating figure at the intersection of religion psychical research and Victorian occult culture. An Oxford-educated Anglican clergyman he became one of the era's most celebrated spiritualist mediums known especially for his automatic writing and the influential book Spirit Teachings. His life embodies the tension between orthodox faith and the burgeoning spiritualist movement of the late 19th century.<br /> <br /> ---<br /> <br /> ## Key Facts<br /> - Born: 1839 Donington Lincolnshire <br /> - Died: 5 September 1892 <br /> - Occupations: Anglican priest schoolmaster spiritualist medium <br /> - Known for: Automatic writing "psychography" Spirit Teachings leadership in early British spiritualism <br /> en.wikipedia.orghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Stainton_Moses<br /> <br /> ---<br /> <br /> ## Early Life & Education<br /> - Educated at Bedford School University College School London and Exeter College Oxford. <br /> - Ordained in 1870 by Bishop Samuel Wilberforce. <br /> - Served curacies in the Isle of Man Dorsetshire and Salisbury. <br /> en.wikipedia.orghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Stainton_Moses<br /> <br /> His early ministry was marked by ill health which repeatedly interrupted his clerical work. During convalescence in London he became close to the Speer family-relationships that would shape his later spiritualist career.<br /> <br /> ---<br /> <br /> ## Conversion to Spiritualism<br /> Moses initially dismissed spiritualism as "dreariest twaddle" but after reading Robert Dale Owen and attending séances in 1872 he reported receiving evidential messages from a deceased friend. This experience transformed him into a committed spiritualist. <br /> Psi Encyclopediahttps://psi-encyclopedia.spr.ac.uk/articles/william-stainton-moses/<br /> <br /> He soon began producing automatic writing which he believed came from advanced spiritual intelligences.<br /> <br /> ---<br /> <br /> ## âœï¸ Mediumship & Writings<br /> ### Automatic Writing "Psychography"<br /> Moses coined the term psychography in his 1878 book Psychography: A Treatise on One of the Objective Forms of Psychic or Spiritual Phenomena. <br /> en.wikipedia.orghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Stainton_Moses<br /> <br /> ### Spirit Teachings 1872-1883<br /> His most famous work Spirit Teachings consists of 24 notebooks of automatic scripts presenting a moral and philosophical system communicated by spirit entities.

His life sits at the crossroads of theology mysticism and the Victorian hunger for unseen worlds. London Spiritualist Alliance unknown

189540853Chicago: S. Ettlinger Printing Co 1895. 1st edition. Original green paper wrappers 12mo 56 pages. <br> <br> The author Isaac S. Moses is prominently listed on the title page as Rabbi of Kehilath Anshe Mayriv KAM Chicago's first Synagogue; these were sermons he delivered there.<br> <br> In addition the title page lists S. Ettlinger Printing Co. in Chicago as the publisher though the wrappers list Bloch in New York. This probably means that Bloch bought the printed run or the remains of it or the plates and put their own outer label on and then continued the distribution under their own name. Singerman 4882 simply listing Ettlinger in Chicago as publisher with no mention of Bloch.<br> <br> In his early days in the United States Isaac Moses "was considered a radical Reformer but later he took a more moderate position. In 1884 he introduced his own prayer book Tefillat Yisrael. <br> <br> Moses was a founding member of the Central Conference of American Rabbis and a member of the Reform committee charged with compiling an official prayer book. The appearance of the Union Prayer Book in 1894 has been credited to his personal initiative in preparing and circulating a manuscript when the committee's work seemed to be leading nowhere. Moses also published a number of sermons and textbooks for children. His Sabbath School Hymnal first issued in 1894 ran into 14 editions. While in Milwaukee he edited the weekly Der Zeitgeist 1880-82" encyclopedia.com. <br> <br> In one of these sermons Rabbi Moses discusses the evils that occurred in Egypt and then goes on to say "Does not our civilization show the most alarming symptoms of the evils and the diseases of Egypt We have fought for the emancipation of the negro but the enslavement of the masses by our modern indutrial system threatens to become a plague worse than ever befell the birth-place of Moses." <br> <br> Subjects: Jewish sermons American.

1901052829Constantinople: I. Camondo & Cie Constantinople Letterhead. 17 Janvier 1901 1901. No Binding. Very Good. Original autograph letter signed ALS by P.pon "We hereby declare that Ms. L. Cassinelli occupied our house located in Pera Rue Hodja Ali No 19. On December 1 1887 and left him on September 30 1899. That during all time he did not pay me the tax. P. pon de la succession de feu le Comte A. de Camondo. i.e. On behalf of the succession of Count Abraham Salomon Camondo 1781-1873. Probably it's signed by his advocate of Moise de Camondo. Recipient is not defined. Letter indicates one of Camondo family's houses in Pera Constantinople. 265x21 cm. Completely in French. 14 lines. On a paper watermarked "William Brown & Co. London". William Brown and Co. were located in London in this 'St. Mary Axe and 40 to 41 Old Broad Street London E.C.' address according to Grace's guide to British industrial industry; they worked on 'Lithographic and Letterpress Printers'. 1887 Registered as a Limited Company. Count Moïse de Camondo 1860-1935 was an Ottoman Empire-born French banker and art collector. He was a member of the prominent Camondo family. As a child Camondo moved with his family from their home in Constantinople Ottoman Empire to Paris around 1869 where he grew up and continued the career of his father Nissim de Camondo 1830-1889 as a banker. He was born into a Sephardic Jewish family that owned one of the largest banks in the Ottoman Empire established in France since 1869. Starting in 1911 he completely rebuilt the family's Parisian mansion on the Parc Monceau in order to house his collection of 18th-century French furniture and artwork. Working closely with the architect René Sergent he created a palatial home conforming to certain 18th-century traditions even planning the room dimensions to match exactly the objects in his collection. The entryway is inspired by the Petit Trianon of Versailles. The home includes a kosher kitchen with separate sections for meat and dairy. The dining room includes a beautifully-carved green marble fountain in the shape of a shell with a dolphin spigot for the ritual washing of hands before eating a meal. Some highlights of his collection include a French silver service that had been ordered by Russian Empress Catherine the Great a set of Buffon porcelain with exact reproductions of ornithological drawings from the Sèvres manufacturer and perhaps the only existing complete set of Gobelin royal tapestry sketches. He married Irène Cahen d'Anvers daughter of Louis Cahen d'Anvers in 1891. They separated in August 1897 after her affair with de Camondo's stable master Count Charles Sampieri whom she would later marry and divorce. The children Nissim and Beatrice remained with de Camondo. The mansion was completed in 1914 but his son did not reside there very long as he rejoined the French Army to fight in The Great War. It had been de Camondo's great hope that his son whom he adored would take over the family empire. Following Nissim's death in 1917 de Camondo closed all banking activities. He largely withdrew from society and devoted himself primarily to his collection and to hosting dinners for a club of gourmets at regular intervals. Camondo died in 1935 and the museum opened the following year. He donated the home to Paris's Decorative Arts society as a museum Musée Nissim de Camondo in honor of the loss of his son Nissim in World War I. In addition to the collection the meticulously-restored service areas elevator and woodwork of the mansion are noteworthy. During the German occupation of France during World War II his daughter Béatrice his son-of-law Léon Reinach and their children Fanny and Bertrand were deported from France and died in the Auschwitz concentration camp. As a result the de Camondo family died out. <br/> <br/> I. Camondo & Cie, Constantinople Letterhead., 17 Janvier 1901 unknown
