Yours must be a Brand Against the Machine.

Discover the aspirational currency that makes your brand one that people want to be or want to be friends with.

These essays, originally written by Evola during the 1930s and '40s, deal with war from a spiritual and heroic perspective. Evola selects specific examples from the Nordic, Vedic, Roman, Persian, Islamic and other traditions to demonstrate how traditionalists can prepare themselves to experience war in a way that will allow them to overcome the limited possibilities offered by our materialistic and degraded age, thereby transcending the Age of Kali and entering the world of heroism by achieving a higher state of consciousness, which Evola depicts as an effective realisation of the ultimate purpose of life. His call to action, however, is not that of today's armies, which ask nothing more of their soldiers than to become mercenaries in the temporary employ of a decadent class. Still less is it a call to misdirected or nihilistic violence. Rather, Evola presents the warrior as one who lives an integrated and purposeful way of life - one who adopts a specifically Aryan view of the world in which the political aims of a war are not its ultimate justification, but rather war is seen as merely a means through which the warrior finds his calling to a higher and more complete form of existence beyond the political, and in accordance with the teachings of the great spiritual texts. More importantly, he shows how the ideal of the warrior extends beyond the battlefield into other aspects of traditional living, even in times of peace. Julius Evola (1898-1974) was an Italian traditionalist, metaphysician and political philosopher. He remains a leading authority on the world's esoteric traditions and one of the greatest critics of modernity. He wrote extensively on the ancient civilisations and beliefs of both East and West and the world of Tradition. His principal works include Revolt Against the Modern World, The Path of Cinnabar (also published by Arktos), The Hermetic Tradition and The Yoga of Power.

Innovation is the key to long-term corporate sustainability and survival. Managing the Innovation Cycle from “idea to market” in organisations involves high risk of failure and long timeframes. Large injections of capital are required over many years to develop new products. There are very few exhaustive empirical studies based on recent rigorous research. Therefore, this book provides case studies and analysis of highly innovative companies. It highlights the need for new management approaches, global strategic alliances with smart partners and executive team leadership. This book explains why some companies succeed in highly competitive global markets. This book will be especially useful to managers and executives focused on making their organisations more innovative and sustainable in the long-term. This book is particularly relevant to project managers and venture capitalists engaged in entrepreneurial high-risk ventures in new emergent industries. Policy makers in government and corporate sectors will also find the book useful. In particular, the case studies in this book will be useful to students and teachers of Innovation and Business Management.

other stimulating activities, students explore the opinions of others as well as question their own attitudes. The material consists of lesson plans suitable for students of English from post-beginner to advanced level. All the activities have been trialled extensively in the classroom.

Special features:
• Three sections: Reading and discussion, Oral work and Writing,
which practise all aspects of language development
• Full introduction explaining the rationale behind the activities
• Wide selection of quizzes, questionnaires and games based on
humanistic principles to encourage spontaneity and originality

language structures practised
