Mainly focused on the study of esoteric traditions within the three monotheist Revelations, La R gle d'Abraham is a periodical founded and directed by Patrick Geay since April 1996. This special edition in English, with 20 rare Masonic illustrations, is dedicated to an important article by Marsha Keith Schuchard on Masonic esotericism and politics: the "ancient" Stuart roots of Bonnie Prince Charlie's role as hidden Grand Master Research into Charles Edward Stuart's alleged affiliation with Jacobite or Ecossais Freemasonry has long been hampered by the misleading assumption, which became academic "conventional wisdom," that Freemasonry virtually began in England when the Grand Lodge of London was formed in 1717. Moreover, it was generally characterized as non-political and rationalistic, devoted to the Protestant succession, the Hanoverian government, Newtonian science, and latitudinarian religion. However, the recent international expansion of Masonic and Jacobite studies makes possible a more credible and documented study of the Stuart prince's political and Masonic activities, within a context of anti-Hanoverian, politically-active, diplomatically-diverse, and spiritually-oriented Masonry that draws upon the early Scots-Irish traditions maintained by the Stuart kings in Greater Britain and by the exiles in the Jacobite diaspora. Ranging from the 1590s in Scotland to the 1780s in Italy, the Stuart-Masonic themes of Jewish mysticism, Lullist illuminated knighthood, Solomonic architecture, and religious toleration sustained the military and political campaigns of James II, James III, and "Bonnie Prince Charlie" in their struggle to reclaim the thrones of their ancestors.

Pour autant, elle est aussi vou e la connaissance approfondie de toutes les religions du monde. Son but est de favoriser une meilleure compr hension de celles-ci, mais galement d' tablir l'existence d'un v ritable fond commun universel partir de leur dimension int rieure, m taphysique, cosmologique et symbolique. Notre revue vise en ce sens le r tablissement d'une interpr tation spirituelle du sacr en g n ral, en opposition toutes les formes de r ductionnisme qu'elle critique. Elle fait appel des sp cialistes, universitaires le plus souvent ou ind pendants. Nous publions des recherches originales in dites ainsi que des traductions de textes anciens et contemporains. Certains articles parus dans La R gle d'Abraham ont eux-m mes t traduits et publi s en Espagne, en Italie et aux Etats-Unis.
Professor Keith Payne has written a bold analysis of our historical context that truly is a unique contribution to the American nuclear debate. His work here considers and describes most carefully what must be judged a global challenge to which there is no fully prudent solution. Russia is not going away anytime soon, though indeed already it is somewhat overshadowed by the large dragon to the East. In order to make sense clearly of what is happening, and why, Professor Payne makes admirable use of the familiar binary opposition of Realism and Idealism. He employs these for the keys they provide readily to help explain what otherwise typically is an unduly forbidding debate among experts.
Against the backdrop of corporate downsizings and rightsizings that have forever blurred the line between leaders and followers, The Manager as Leader presents practical strategies, tools, and techniques for developing the leadership mindset and applying it on a daily basis. The book introduces the Contextual Leadership Model, which identifies nine fundamental leadership roles and six common contexts in which leadership is exercised, and guides readers toward matching their roles and actions to the particular context at hand—as well as making adjustments when context changes. Packed with illustrative examples, diagnostic tools, worksheets, and other interactive elements, and featuring an extensive listing of resources, The Manager as Leader is a hands-on guide to the art of leadership, whether you are an executive, manager, supervisor, or aspiring leader anywhere in the organization. An invisible line between individual contributor and leader was once thought to exist, separating leaders from followers. Two decades of downsizings and rightsizings have forever blurred this distinction and left us with three fundamental challenges: (1) How can an organization elicit leadership from everyone?; (2) How can those who choose to lead influence others to perform more effectively and efficiently than they ever thought possible?; (3) How can leaders continue to be successful when the environment in which they lead is constantly changing? Addressing these challenges requires a certain awareness and nimbleness on behalf of the person thinking and acting as the leader, regardless of their formal position. The Manager as Leader presents practical strategies, tools, and techniques for developing the leadership mindset and applying it on a daily basis. The book introduces the Contextual Leadership Model, which identifies nine fundamental leadership roles and six common contexts in which leadership is exercised, and guides readers toward matching their roles and actions to the particular context at hand; it also shows readers how to anticipate changes in context and adjust their roles and actions accordingly. Packed with illustrative examples, diagnostic tools, worksheets, and other interactive elements, and featuring an extensive listing of resources, The Manager as Leader is a hands-on guide to the art of leadership, whether you are an executive, manager, supervisor, or aspiring leader anywhere in the organization.
In this book, an expert in business strategy shows how to create and evaluate a strategic plan and execute that plan successfully.When it comes to strategic planning, B. Keith Simerson knows from experience what works and what doesn't. Strategic Planning: A Practical Guide to Strategy Formulation and Execution weaves that knowledge into a roadmap for anyone charged with creating a strategic plan, evaluating a strategic planning process, or executing resulting strategies in an effective and efficient way. Not a one-size-fits-all solution, the book offers a menu of information and options based on a broad view of strategic planning and offers correspondingly broad applicability. The guide focuses on two major aspects of the planning process: the multitude of factors contributing to an effective strategic planning framework and the multitude of drivers and enablers of successful execution. Armed with concrete information, readers will learn to create and execute a business strategy, a personal strategic action plan, or strategies for any kind of for-profit or nonprofit organization. Specific methodologies, tools, and techniques will guide readers to successful strategy formation—and execution.
