Chapters: Scottish Salvationists, Arthur Henderson, George Scott Railton, Robert Wedderburn, William Davidson, John Gowans, Frederick Coutts. Excerpt: Arthur Henderson (13 September 1863 20 October 1935) was a British Labour politician, who was the 1934 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate; he served three short terms as the Leader of the Labour Party from 1908-10, 1914-17 and 1931-32. Arthur Henderson was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1863, the son of a textile worker who died when Arthur was only 10 years old. After his father's death, the Hendersons moved to Newcastle upon Tyne in the North East of England. Henderson worked in a locomotive factory from the age of 12. After finishing his apprenticeship at seventeen, Arthur Henderson moved to Southampton for a year and then returned to work as an iron moulder (a type of foundryman) in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. He converted to Methodism (having previously been a Congregationalist) in 1879. This had a major impact on Henderson and he became a Lay preacher. In 1884, Henderson lost his job, and concentrated on his education, and preaching commitments. However by 1892, Henderson had entered the complex world of Trade Union politics, when he was elected as a paid organiser for the Iron Founders Union, and was also a representative on the North East Conciliation Board. Henderson believed that strikes caused more harm than they were worth, and tried to avoid them whenever he could. For this reason he opposed the formation of the General Federation of Trade Unions, as he was convinced it would lead to more strikes. In 1900, Henderson was one of the 129 trade union and socialist delegates, who passed Keir Hardie's motion to create the Labour Representation Committee (LRC), and in 1903, Henderson was elected treasurer of the L...

Excerpt: George Walker Bush ( (help·info); born July 6, 1946) was the 43rd President of the United States, serving from 2001 to 2009, and the 46th Governor of Texas, serving from 1995 to 2000. Bush is the eldest son of President George H. W. Bush, who served as the 41st President, and Barbara Bush, making him one of only two American presidents to be the son of a preceding president. After graduating from Yale University in 1968, and Harvard Business School in 1975, Bush worked in his family's oil businesses. He married Laura Welch in 1977 and unsuccessfully ran for the House of Representatives shortly thereafter. He later co-owned the Texas Rangers baseball team before defeating Ann Richards in the 1994 Texas gubernatorial election. In a close and controversial election, Bush was elected President in 2000 as the Republican candidate, defeating then-Vice President Al Gore in the Electoral College. Eight months into Bush's first term as president, the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks occurred. In respons...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=3414021 ... Read more

Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Tom Mann (1856 - 1941) était un célèbre syndicaliste britannique. En grande partie autodidacte, il devint un organisateur talentueux et un orateur populaire du mouvement ouvrier. Mann est né le 15 avril 1856 à Bell Green, qui est maintenant une banlieue de Coventry. Son père, Thomas Mann, était comptable dans une houillère. Sa mère, Mary Ann Grant, mourut alors qu'il avait deux ans. Il alla à l'école de six à neuf ans, avant de commencer à faire de petits travaux à la ferme de la mine. Un an plus tard, il devint « trappeur », un travail difficile consistant à éliminer les obstructions dans les étroits conduits d'aération de la mine. Les seuls souvenirs plaisants de sa jeunesse étaient l'église et le catéchisme le dimanche. En 1870, la mine dut fermer, et la famille déménagea à Birmingham. Mann entama bientôt un apprentissage d'ingénieur, tout en assistant aux meetings publics tenus par Annie Besant et John Bright, ce qui éveilla sa conscience politique. Il termina son apprentissage en 1877 et alla à Londres. Mais il ne put trouver de travail comme ingénieur et dut se satisfaire de toutes sortes d'emplois non qualifiés. En proie à la pauvreté et la solitude, il intensifia son engagement religieux, sa tempérance et son radicalisme. Il se maria le 2 octobre 1879 avec Ellen Edwards. Cette même année, il trouva du travail dans un bureau d'études. Là il fut initié au socialisme par le chef d'équipe, et il décida de parfaire son éducation. Il se mit à lire les ouvrages de William Morris, Henry George et J...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Excerpt: Jeffrey Philip Hywel John, SCP, (born 10 February 1953) is a Church of England cleric and the current Dean of St Albans. He made headlines in 2003 when he was the first person to have openly been in a gay relationship to be nominated as a Church of England bishop. Owing to the consequent controversy he withdrew his acceptance of the nomination. Dr John was born in Tonyrefail in South Wales in 1953. He studied at Hertford College, Oxford, where he gained a first in classics and modern languages in 1975. He subsequently studied theology at St Stephen's House, Oxford and obtained second class honours. After a curacy in Penarth, Llandaff, he returned to Oxford in 1980 to read for a doctorate in Pauline theology. He became chaplain at Brasenose College. In 1984 he was appointed Dean of Divinity at Magdalen College, Oxford. In 1991 he was one of the founder members of Affirming Catholicism, a group promoting Catholicism within the Anglican tradition, and is also a trustee of the organisation. He also supported the campaign for the ordination of women. From 1991 he was Vicar of Holy Trinity, Eltham, (in the Diocese of Southwark) in south London. In 1997 he became Canon Chancellor and Theologian of Southwark Cathedral. On 20 May 2003 Dr John's appointment as Bishop of Reading, a suffragan bishop in the Diocese of Oxford, was announced. The nomination led to controversy both in the Church of England and the wider Anglican Communion owing to John's long-term relationship (beginning in 1976) w...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=613857 ...
