Foxe’s Book of Martyrs Other than the Christian Bible, John Foxe’s Book of Martyrs, otherwise known as Acts and Monuments, is considered to be the most influential book published in England during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It is considered to be the most extensive publication of the early modern print era, due to its complexity and detailed woodcut illustrations of the experiences of hundreds of people for their religious beliefs. Foxe’s book was the largest publishing project undertaken in Britain up to the year of its first publication in March of 1563. Such a large project involves many parts and the efforts of many in order to reach completion, and Foxe’s book encompasses much more than just the text that resides within the bindings. In order to better understand the influence Foxe’s book had on not only England, but also the entire continent of Europe as a whole in the early fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, one must first become familiar with the author in order to better understand the history of the book.

Leadership and Management Suzanne Hickle 6/09/2014 LDR/300 Mark Guberman Winston Churchill was what many would call a world of a leader. He led his country through the biggest turmoil of the 20th century. In present day his notoriety and leadership ability is still a common desire among politician figure heads as well as those leading a country through a difficult time.

Additionally, the inclusion of pictures gives visual support to the text and augments the text appropriately. Having an image of those who peopled Jackson’s life, as Henry Clay and Daniel Webster, merely increases the interest level of the facts noted. “The Jacksonian Era” begins with the Battle of New Orleans in 1812, the role that Jackson played in this battle, and the influence it played for the rest of his career. Jackson would use this military action repeatedly throughout his career to provide a public relations basis for political office. Although Jackson’s involvement in the demise of the Second National Bank is generally noted as a significant event, this book regards it with less consideration.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States, is considered by many Americans to be on of the greatest presidents in America’s history. People who were around during his presidency still admire him, but even people who were very young or not even alive during his presidency still hold him in high regard.

He won the votes of many because he was warm-hearted, friendly and idealistic man. He bore the qualities of mind and character to be the man for the job of President in his time. Things weren’t so easy; Indo-China, Russia, the space race and civil rights issues. Eisenhower as president had a time, but his success was because of the very skills he learned in the military as a
Theodore Roosevelt’s time of being president seemed so powerful to me. He knew what he was doing as president and was a strong leader. He solved many problems and won many wars. How can we say no to “Teddy”? He was a succeeding and wonderful president and that’s what I liked about him.
is one of the best. The qualities of sensational leaders are firm commitment to and exponentially growth in the cause they are fighting, lack of progress without their presence, and vivid memories and praise even after they pass. Martin Luther King, Jr. possessed impressive leadership qualities. Not only Americans but also citizens of other countries still look to his ideas for inspiration. He was the most courageous and dedicated leader during the civil rights struggle, and his leadership impacted millions.
