Pitt Minion Bibles are notable for their synthesis of function and style – of readable text, in compact form – and have been a feature of the Cambridge list for over half a century. In recent years Cambridge has developed new Pitt Minion Bibles in a range of versions, all in the same elegant format as the original KJV editions of the 1930s. Now the KJV edition has been freshly typeset as part of the current generation of Cambridge Pitt Minion Reference Bibles. In these, the text is presented in paragraph style, using a modern font that has many qualities in common with the traditional Bible typefaces. In the Pitt Minion design it delivers the characteristic combination of clarity with economy of form―producing a slimline Bible that is exceptionally clear and easy to read. The edition includes 15 newly designed colour maps, and a Reader's Companion (combining some of the features of a traditional concordance and dictionary). This Bible is splendidly bound in black goatskin leath

The English Standard Version is a literal translation from the original Bible texts, firmly rooted in the tradition of Tyndale and King James but using contemporary language. First published in 2001, it is closest in style to the Revised Standard Version and is well suited to public reading and memorisation. Cambridge Pitt Minion Bibles are characterised by an elegant text design using a font that is compact, yet clear and easy to read. This Bible has black-letter text throughout and includes cross-references, a concordance and maps. It features India paper with silver edges and like all Cambridge Bibles it is Smyth-sewn. It is bound in an attractive two-grain faux leather.

The Concord Reference Bible presents the King James Version of the Bible in a clear and readable typeface. This edition offers a wealth of reference material in a real leather binding – a glossary, concordance, dictionary of names and phrases, colour maps and gazetteer. Bold-figure cross-references link passages of the text without cluttering the page. The words of Christ are printed in red. There is a presentation page and family record section. The Bible is printed on India paper with gilt edges and bound with two ribbon markers in attractive calf split leather. This Concord Reference Bible has a thumb index – a traditional reading aid seldom found in modern Bibles.

The Cameo Bible is one of the classic Cambridge editions of the King James Bible, dating from the 1920s. The Bible text was set in an attractive historic typeface, Petit Medieval Clarendon, and is printed large enough to be clear and easy to read while small enough to result in a compact Bible. The Bible has pronunciation marks for difficult words and phrases, full cross-references, a concordance and maps. Unavailable for a while, the Cameo Reference Edition was recently re-issued in response to continued consumer interest, in a new range of binding styles. The Bible comes with a concordance and 15 color maps. The text has pronunciation marks for names and the words of Christ on earth are printed in red. This edition includes the Apocrypha. It is one of the very few current editions of the King James Version so to do. It is printed on India paper art-gilt edges and is bound in black calfskin leather.

This Cambridge NRSV Lectern Bible includes the Apocrypha and uses the NRSV Anglicized Edition, the Bible translation recommended for use in the Church of England and other churches. It is an enlargement of the NRSV Popular Text Edition, so the two are natural partners for use in church. The text is broken up with bold section headings, making it easy for the reader to find the place quickly. Running heads show chapter and verse for easy navigation. Cambridge's Lectern Bibles are produced in a traditional style, from the best materials. Their large, clear print and tinted paper makes them easy to read, while their reinforced binding and hard covers protect them against wear and tear. This Bible is bound in goatskin, noted for its combination of attractiveness and durability. Three ribbons keep the place in different parts of the Bible, and there is a presentation page at the front. The pages have art-gilt edges, and the outer covers are traditionally decorated in gold foil. It wo

Edited by David Norton, this important scholarly edition presents a revised KJV text based on a thorough evaluation of textual variants in current renderings as well as the extant notes of the 1611 Translators. The text itself is presented in paragraph form, with marginal notes, and adopts modern conventions of spelling and punctuation to make it easy to read and use. The New Cambridge Paragraph Bible was originally published in 2005 in a large format and, like the original King James Bible and successive editions until the nineteenth century, included the Apocrypha. As it has become known in the marketplace, a demand has become apparent for this Bible in a smaller, more manageable format. Its is therefore now being issued in Personal Size editions, either with or without the Apocrypha. This particular Bible contains just the Old and New Testaments. It is printed on Bible paper, has gold page-edges and two ribbon markers, and is bound in black calfskin leather.

The NRSV is widely used in academic circles as well as churches. It takes full advantage of recent scholarship and employs gender-inclusive language in reference to human beings throughout. This slim book contains the New Testament together with the Psalms. Like the Cambridge NRSV Popular Text and Lectern Bibles, it has British spellings and punctuation. The text is set in a clear but compact font and is divided into sections, each with its own heading. Presented in a format like that of a slim pocket diary, the book will fit easily inside an inside pocket or a handbag. It is beautifully produced, printed on Bible paper with gilt edges and rounded corners. It has a black imitation leather cover and comes with a ribbon marker and presentation page. Head- and tail-bands add a traditional touch of class.

To Know the Real Drucker: Eight Articles Will Help You is a collection of eight articles by Peter Drucker: “The Unfashionable Kierkegaard” (1949) and its introduction (1992), “The New World-View” (1957), “From Analysis to Perception: The New World View” (1989), “Reflections of a Social Ecologist” (1992), “What Is a Functioning Society?” (1942), “From Rousseau to Hitler” (1942), “The Human Situation Today” (1957), and “Management as Social Function and Liberal Art” (1989).

PREFACEMy father’s escape from―and opposition to―totalitarianism dominated much of his writing. It permeated his beliefs about the empowerment of individuals, and the moral responsibility of organizationsto empower the individuals within their sphere.This collection emphasizes the principles of human choice, dignity; self-worth; and society’s role to achieve these ends, within a fair and equitable system.It was based on this shared belief system that my father and Ming Lo Shao developed a warm friendship―a friendship nurtured and maintained, with mutual respect, for many years until my father’s passing in 2005.This collection demonstrates the timeliness of my father’s writings, and their applicability to some of the critical situations facing our world today, almost 90 years after they were first penned.The Drucker family thanks Ming Lo Shao for his work in creating this anthology, and for his dedication to keeping Drucker’s writings alive and relevant for a new generation.Joan Drucker
