Описание: Irish immigrant William Mulholland (1855-1935) rose from ditch tender for the Los Angeles City Water Company to Chief Engineer & General Manger Los Angeles City Water Department (now the City of Los Angeles Department of Water & Power). He oversaw construction of the Los Angeles Aqueduct that in 1913 brought water 233 miles from the Eastern Sierras to Los Angeles. Thanks to this reliable supply of water, Los Angeles could grow and prosper. He became a heroic figure. Mulholland supervised the design and construction of several other dams and reservoirs that provided water to Los Angeles, including the St. Francis Dam north of Los Angeles. In 1928, the St. Francis Dam collapsed causing immense damage and taking more the 400 lives. Mulholland took full responsibility for the dam disaster and endured a fall from grace of Shakespearean magnitude.

Описание: There is little in the public domain about this lite international high-IQ society, MENSA, which boasts a membership tested to have an IQ among the highest two per cent of the population. This book was written by an insider who, as a member of MENSA, contributed extensively to this high-IQ society over a span of almost thirty years. MENSA was originally conceived of as a third pillar intended to complement the Royal Society and the British Academy. When it was founded in Oxford during 1946 its original goal was to gather six hundred of the most intelligent people in Britain as scientifically measured through an IQ test who the government and its agencies could contact for advice on matters of government. It had two purposes: first, to conduct research in psychology and social science and, secondly, to provide contact between intelligent people everywhere in the world. The intention was for MENSA to conduct three strands of research: i.To test intelligence tests, and identify correlations with intelligence ii.Mensans as the subjects of research iii.The Mensan as an instrument of research, i.e. where they choose areas of research and write reports on them This book reveals some of the research conducted on or by Mensans over the intervening seventy years. Under its first president, Sir Cyril Burt, MENSA systematically conducted research on thousands of its members from 1946 until the death of the esteemed British psychologist in 1971. Burt's research was challenged after his death, but it is debatable whether his detractors were fully aware of his MENSA research. MENSA was conducting big data research long before it became fashionable in the 21st century with the advent of powerful computers, and much of this research was made available to government departments at the time.

Описание: Jairus Victor Grove offers an ecological theorization of geopolitics in which he contends that contemporary global crises are better understood when considered within the larger history of geopolitical practice, showing how political violence is the principal force behind climate change, mass extinction, slavery, genocide, extractive capitalism, and other catastrophes.

Описание: Sir Winston Churchill was a soldier, journalist, writer, Nobel Prize winner and, above all, a leader. Conservative then Liberal then Conservative again, his political instincts won him a sustained career at the summit of British government, while his resolve and politics of personality made him broadly regarded as one of the greatest wartime leaders of the 20th century. With his early radicalism, bold decisions regarding the Gold Standard and Iron curtain analysis, Churchill was, for many, a highly controversial figure. For others, he was Britain's finest Prime Minister. From his career as a young army officer - serving in British India, The Sudan, and the Second Boer War, in which he won fame as a war correspondent - to his later pursuits as a historian, a writer, and an artist, 'Churchill: History in an Hour' is the perfect guide to the colorful, long and varied life of a historic titan.

Описание: Excerpt from Kathleen Mavourneen

What are the police coming here for this morn-t ing? She cries. It will not require a mounted guard to drive poor Pat from his cabin; and yet, surely, they are riding this way. I hear the clatter of their horses' feet But presently the sound of merry voices and gay laughter was borne towards her on the breeze, and as the riders approached she saw that they were not policemen, as she had supposed, but a cavalcade. Of ladies and gentlemen, followed by several dogs.

Описание: The first volume: 'the man from MENSA' - 1 of 600: Mensa research, had as its focus STEM research. This second volume in the series takes as its subject politics and the social sciences. Bernard Mulholland was born in West Germany during 1957 to a German mother and a Northern Irish father who was serving in the British Army. Having left the army, the family relocated during 1965 to the town of Portadown in Northern Ireland. Shortly afterwards Northern Ireland was to descend into sectarian turmoil associated with 'the Troubles' and the British Army's Operation Banner. For thirty years Bernard Mulholland worked as a heating technician for all sections of society in Northern Ireland across counties Fermanagh, Armagh and Down, which encompass 'Bandit Country' and also 'the Murder Triangle'. Portadown itself was later to become synonymous first with sectarian and political violence over 'the Tunnel', and then later with Drumcree. After joining British Mensa during the late eighties Mulholland joined its politics interest group and wrote for its monthly journal Poliphony for almost thirty years. This tome includes many of these texts from 1990-1995 in its Appendix. It also explores the outworking of some of the thoughts and ideas expressed therein which came to have real world applications, and that also feed into Brexit. Arguably this volume provides a unique political and historical insight that informs the narrative leading up to the first ceasefires by the Provisional IRA and the loyalist groups that later developed into the ongoing peace process. But it is in many ways also a history of British Mensa at a time when its membership peaked at forty thousand. There is little in the public domain about this lite international high-IQ society, MENSA, which boasts a membership tested to have an IQ among the highest two per cent of the population. MENSA was originally conceived of as a third pillar intended to complement the Royal Society and the British Academy. When it was founded in Oxford during 1946 its original goal was to gather six hundred of the most intelligent people in Britain as scientifically measured through an IQ test who the government and its agencies could contact for advice on matters of government. This book was written by an insider who as a member of MENSA contributed extensively to this high-IQ society over a span of almost thirty years, and it is hoped that it helps to fill a gaping void in the history of this quintessential post-WWII British institution.
