Book Description
The Wise Legacy explores the profound impact of Sidney Wise, the late Charles A. Dana Professor of Government at Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Sid encouraged many of his students, including prominent politicians, educators, religious leaders, lobbyists and business executives, to pursue public service careers, and was responsible for creating an elite Washington network before online networking existed.

Brooks Smith, HBO CEO Richard Plepler, and United Negro College Fund CEO and former Congressman William Gray, among many others. This book features 41 interviews that reveal Wise's passion for educating and guiding students, his astute use of networking to create a group of alumni dedicated to public service (many of whom serve today, years since Sid's passing), as well as his never-abused hidden power in our country. Throughout the book emerges Wise's passion for educating and guiding students, Wise's astute use of networking to create a group of alumni dedicated to public service (many of whom serve today, years since Sid's passing), as well as his never-abused hidden power in our country.

This book affirms the power of networking, and how working with others can define careers, and cause meaningful change.

Through a curious turn of events, past and present intersect, as one man’s curse becomes another man’s fortune—not a treasure of silver and gold, but something extraordinary. Nicolas Mason never expected to find adventure in his quiet town, but fate had a way of taking him aside and revealing another path. When a stranger with a dark past makes an unexpected arrival, our hero is taken on a journey to save everything he holds most dear. A race against the clock, good verses evil; who will be the one to claim victory? The year is 1841. Step inside the small town of Brigwood and come along on a journey that will test the courage, valour, and strength of those willing to sacrifice it all. Sometimes it’s best to free yourself of what you believe to be true, and let your imagination wander past its limits. Imagine the possibilities; what could exist, what will exist as time moves toward the future? Every soul leaves behind a shadow when the light sheds its own; a legacy. This is one man's tale that will let you choose what you want to believe.

The Life and Legacy of Sir Anthony Panizzi, K.C.B.
Author: Louis Fagan
Publisher: e-artnow
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 583
Book Description
Anthony Panizzi (1797-1879), was a naturalised British librarian of Italian birth and an Italian patriot. He was the Principal Librarian of the British Museum from 1856 to 1866. Apart from being a personal friend of British Prime ministers Lord Palmerston and William Ewart Gladstone, Panizzi conducted an active correspondence with Sardinian, and later Italian Prime Minister Count Camillo Benso di Cavour. In 1844, he assisted Giuseppe Mazzini, then in exile in London, by publishing an influential article denouncing the practice ordered by the Home Secretary of ordering Mazzini's private letters opened by the Post Office and giving copies of their contents to the Austrian Embassy. He also orchestrated a visit of Giuseppe Garibaldi to England, and convinced Gladstone to travel to Naples to view personally the inhumane conditions in which political prisoners were kept. Panizzi was a strong advocate of free and equal access to learning. He was influential in enforcing the Copyright Act of 1842, which required British publishers to deposit with the library a copy of every book printed in Britain. For his extraordinary services as a librarian, in 1869 he was knighted by Queen Victoria. In addition to his English knighthood, Panizzi was given an honorary degree by Oxford University, the Légion d'Honneur from France, various chivalric honours from the Italian Government and Crown, and in 1868 was appointed as a senator in the Italian Parliament.
