"If someone were to mention the names of Albert Einstein, Benjamin Franklin, or Thomas Edison you would automatically think of them as great leaders and ingenious inventers. Their names are quit familiar through out our society due to their accomplishments in the past. Certainly, if I threw out the name of James Clerk Maxwell, some people would sit there and ponder whether or not the name sounds familiar to them. James Maxwell should be known and acknowledged just like the people I mentioned earlier. James Clerk Maxwell is one of the many inventors, who's contributions in science and math, has changed the way the world works in the 21st century."

Abstract
This paper discusses how John Maxwell's book "Leadership 101: What Every Leader Should Know" applies to nursing. The paper explains how nursing leaders can use its precepts to motivate nurses, involve them in decision-making, focus them on a project, and communicate to affect a project's accomplishment.

From the Paper
"Effective nursing requires good leadership. Not only do nurses choose other leaders, set strategic direction and conduct nursing operations, they must also be able to plan care, organize scarce resources, make critical evaluations and decisions and direct patients and their families in how to provide self-care. (Futch) The dynamics of nursing in a hospital where multiple patients must be served and critical decisions must be made many times per day, involve essential management skills such as organization, delegation, effective decision-making and accurate communication. One..."

Abstract
This comparison essay shows how the role of the woman is portrayed very differently in two stories from the same book of 14th century tales. The paper argues that within both stories the role of woman as a wife and the propagator of the human race is reinforced and presented as seemingly the sole respectable position for a woman. "The Wife of Bath" feels the position of women to be regrettable, however upon this she founds her conviction that women using men is only natural. "The Clerk" conversely argues that women above all must be loyal and also incredibly patient, but later refutes this, saying that no woman should allow herself to mistreated, and that they as well may pursue happiness.

From the Paper
"The Wife of Bath is an interesting character in the least, and at most a plain exhibit which presents the varying roles and positions of women during the time of their particular pilgrimage. She had been married four times prior to her most recent husband, who unfortunately had since passed on, leaving her a widow despite her moniker. The content and lessons put forth by the Wife of Bath as will be exhibited are conflicting in nature and contradictory quite often. However, regardless of the Wife of Bath's particular perceptions or rather stereotypes, the information presented within both her prologue and tale provide valuable insight into the role of women during the Middle Ages.

"As in her very name, one of the roles ascribed to women by the Wife of Bath is that of spouse or bride. The role of woman as wife and mother is the primary position which women occupy within the tale of the Wife, with the balance of power contained therein being what the Wife is seemingly most interested in and thus explores, as her perception of the position itself is not something she cares for. "If there were no authority on earth; Except experience, mine, for what it's worth... That marriage is a misery and a woe; For let me say, if I may make so bold... Five husband have I had at the church door." (Chaucer 258) The power within a relationship revolves very much around the relations of the body, the act of sex and the capacity to give and take it away."

Abstract
This paper has analyzed the supernatural elements of the Gothic genre that appears in "Rip Van Winkle" by Washington Irving and The Turn of the Screw by Henry James. By defining the role of ghosts and otherworldly figures in the Gothic genre, they provide a metaphysical altercation of reality in the writings of James and Irving that are Gothic in their style. While James relies on ghosts as a symbolic gesture to the supernatural, Irving relies on a otherworldly "stranger" that provides he link between Rip's own world and the future world that he must awaken to.

Abstract
This paper considers two questions relating to the 1902 book by William James, "The Varieties of Religious Experience." In the first part, the paper considers what James believed of the Supreme Being, finding that he believed in a remarkably pluralistic system, in which the God of the Stoics was as good as the Christian God. The second part of the paper considers James' views of what was the highest good.

From the Paper
"What is William James' understanding of the Supreme Being? In his book "The Varieties of Religious Experience", William James tried to present a theory that would bind the various religious experiences together. In the process of doing so, he articulated a view of religion that drew heavily from the American transcendental movement. As Eugene Taylor articulates in his introductory essay the centenary edition of "James' Varieties of Religious Experience", James thoughts on religion begin with Emerson and the beginning of transcendentalism in America. Drawing on the transcendentalist perspective, James concluded that "God, or whatever...""

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the tendencies of Henry James in his writings. "The Beast in The Jungle", "The Jolly Corner", and "The Portrait of a Lady" are three of James' works that are examined in detail. In particular, this paper focuses on the protagonists of each of the writings respectively. A strong comparison is made between the three protagonists of these writings, and their miserable lives. On the other hand, the protagonist of James' story "The Tragic Muse" is shown to lead a life of happiness and success. The paper notes the clear differences between this story and the others, therefore explaining what leads the character on a different path.

From the Paper
"In contrast, Portrait of a Lady presents Ralph as an invalid who lives vicariously through a woman named Isabel Archer whom he leads to doom. He bestows upon her a large sum of money, despite his father's warning that fortune hunters will target her for it. Ralph replies, "That's a risk, and it has entered into my calculation...I'm prepared to take it" (p. 161). Ralph is financially generous to Isabel not out of love but out of a morbid fascination. He wants to see what she will do with it. When Isabel marries a gold-digger, she fulfills the victim role that Ralph's father had feared. Ralph's fascination with Isabel's life overcomes any concern he might have had for her welfare."

Abstract
This paper gives an historical analysis of James Madison and his Presidency, focusing on his commitment to the separation of church and state. This commitment influenced the decisions he made and the political ideology that he upheld. The paper traces Madison's political career and its interconnection with the birth of the US. Madison's famous treatise on separation of church and state entitled "The Memorial and Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments," is analyzed. The paper concludes by reinforcing James Madison's commitment to the separation of church and state and the protection of individual liberty.

From the Paper
" From the early days of the development of the British colonies into an independent nation, Madison was involved. As a student of history, government, and law, he took part in framing the Virginia Constitution in 1776 and held membership in the Virginia Assembly ("James Madison"). Madison served in the Continental Congress and engaged in frequent debates at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia ("James Madison"). Together with Alexander Hamilton and John Jay, Madison made a major contribution to ratifying the Constitution by writing the Federalist essays, which were in favor of the creation of a more powerful federal government to replace the ailing Confederation. The essays earned him the title of "Father of the Constitution," although he claimed the document was "the work of many heads and many hands" ("James Madison"). He also shared in framing the Bill of Rights and passing the first revenue legislation."

Abstract
This three page book review of James Frey's "A Million Little Pieces" looks at several major points of this work. It looks at James' steps as he moves through rehab in a motivational model, how he copes with the family dynamics in the work, how he is effectively (or not) guided by the staff at the center, and finally, how the work, even though fictional, can be seen as valid.

From the Paper
"Frey's now famous work, entitled "A Million Little Pieces" has recently caught the attention of the American public--firstly from being sponsored by Oprah's Book Club, to then being openly renounced as a work of false fiction. Yet, however one looks at this situation, it can be agreed upon that the work is compelling. Telling the story of a twenty-three year old's collapse into alcoholism and drug addiction, and his way out of this circumstance, it shows unusual honesty of character and family. Moving from a bewildering plane ride to placement in a residential drug and alcohol treatment facility by the seventh page, the majority of the work revolves around James' reactions to treatment, coupled with flashbacks in the form of user-dreams. The work touches upon personal change via a motivational model, illustrates the importance of family dynamics and staff upon..."

Abstract
This paper argues that Shakespeare wrote "Measure for Measure" as a complimentary tutorial for King James. In doing so, he portrays the current state of affairs in England and attempts to provide James with advice concerning the problems facing his kingdom.

From the Paper
"Shakespeare's England at the time that Measure for Measure was written was in a state of internal conflict and discord. King James I came to power in 1603 and inherited a kingdom rife with a myriad of social and cultural problems, including corruption in the justice system, religious disputes and crises, and rampant sexual immorality. Shakespeare, the ?King's Playwright,? as Alvin Kernan dubs him, wrote Measure for Measure as a complimentary tutorial for King James. In doing so, he portrays the current state of affairs in England and attempts to provide James, as a ruler with Divine Right and responsibility to his country, with advice concerning the problems facing his kingdom."
