"For almost 300 years, an organisation has quietly tried to change almost every aspect of life in Britain. That organisation is the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce, often known simply as the Royal Society of Arts. It has acted as Britain's private national improvement agency, in every way imaginable - essentially, a society for the improvement of everything and anything. This book is its history. From its beginnings in a coffee house in the mid-eighteenth century, the Society has tried to change Britain's art, industry, laws, music, environment, education, and even culture. It has sometimes even succeeded. It has been a prize-fund for innovations, a platform for Victorian utilitarian reformers, a convenor of disparate interest groups, and the focal point for social movements. There has never been an organisation quite like it, constantly having to reinvent itself to find something new to improve. The book rewrites many of the old official histories of the Society and updates them to the present day, incorporating over half a century of further research into the periods they covered, along with new insights into the organisation's evolution. The book reveals the hidden and often surprising history of how a few public-spirited people tried to make their country better, offering lessons from their triumphs and their failures for all would-be reformers today"--

Volta written by Giuliano Pancaldi and has been published by Princeton University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2005-05 with Biography & Autobiography categories.

Giuliano Pancaldi sets us within the cosmopolitan cultures of Enlightenment Europe to tell the story of Alessandro Volta--the brilliant man whose name is forever attached to electromotive force. Providing fascinating details, many previously unknown, Pancaldi depicts Volta as an inventor who used his international network of acquaintances to further his quest to harness the power of electricity. This is the story of a man who sought recognition as a natural philosopher and ended up with an invention that would make an everyday marvel of electric lighting. Examining the social and scientific contexts in which Volta operated--as well as Europe's reception of his most famous invention--Volta also offers a sustained inquiry into long-term features of science and technology as they developed in the early age of electricity. Pancaldi considers the voltaic cell, or battery, as a case study of Enlightenment notions and their consequences, consequences that would include the emergence of the "scientist" at the expense of the "natural philosopher." Throughout, Pancaldi highlights the complex intellectual, technological, and social ferment that ultimately led to our industrial societies. In so doing, he suggests that today's supporters and critics of Enlightenment values underestimate the diversity and contingency inherent in science and technology--and may be at odds needlessly. Both an absorbing biography and a study of scientific and technological creativity, this book offers new insights into the legacies of the Enlightenment while telling the remarkable story of the now-ubiquitous battery.

Godley written by TERRY KINLOCH and has been published by Exisle Publishing this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2018-11-01 with Biography & Autobiography categories.

A comprehensive biography of General Sir Alexander Godley, presenting for the first time a fair and balanced look at his time as commander of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force (NZEF) and II ANZAC Corps during World War I. While Godley is generally remembered as being a poor field commander, Terry Kinloch argues that he was in fact a capable one who had little or no ability to influence the failed battles at Gallipoli and Passchendaele that he is often seen as responsible for. Kinloch also presents, for the first time, a detailed account of Godley’s long pre- and post-World War I career in the British Army. After the war Godley returned to the British Army, eventually reaching the rank of general before retiring in 1933. During his 48-year military career, he also served on operations in Rhodesia and South Africa, as a mounted infantry instructor, in the post-war British occupation force in Germany, and as the Governor of Gibraltar.

Lifelong Learning For Capability written by Leonard Cairns and has been published by Springer Nature this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2024-09-01 with Education categories.

The book offers a well-grounded vision of the significant theory and application of the concept of Capability as a lifecourse and lifespan development. Capability is argued to be a necessary 21st century process and outcome (PROUT) of all learning development and activities across formal and informal places. Capability has been defined as a way of understanding people and organisations through their holistic approach which moves beyond Competence to show how potential ability, self-efficacy, and values, as basic, intertwined elements lead to how Capable People and Capable Organisations offer flexibility and adaptability in action. It presents the case for Capable Four-Dimensional Learners who can thrive in various situations to solve unfamiliar problems and challenges. These learners have developed and can demonstrate Lifelong commitment to learning. In addition, four-dimensional learners need to experience a broad range of areas of Lifewide learning. Further, learners need to include learning of some aspects in depth, that is, Lifedeep learning. An understanding of the impact of technology, as a significant element in human learning beyond being operational tools, as Lifetech learning is vitally necessary. How this four-dimensionality relates to better sustainability awareness and application through personal and organisational Capability is outlined. This book emerged from many years of theory development and research with critical examination of the Capability Concept and its application as a Learning Model. It is written for students, teachers and administrators at all levels of Education, and everyone interested in human learning theory and application.
