From coronations and\nnational events to local customs, they provide stability, reinforce identity\nand foster resilience to help us steer a course through the uncertainties of\ntomorrow. Nations, organisations and communities that have them thrive. Where they\nare absent, it is harder to adapt to the fast-changing world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt\na time of great worry about our ability to adapt to an uncertain world, this\nbook should give every Briton confidence and courage. It contains a unique\nperspective from someone who has had a ringside seat at many of our national events\nand crises over many years. Mordaunt, who in her ceremonial role as Lord\nPresident of the Council famously carried the Sword of State and presented the\nJewelled Sword of Offering to King Charles III at his coronation, examines areas\nof traditional British culture - including the monarchy, Parliament, the law,\nsport and local traditions, as well as values such as sacrifice, courage and\nremembrance - to show how a country often thought of as old-fashioned actually\nuses its historical conventions to navigate the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFar\nfrom being a brake on progress, our traditions offer a predictable rhythm to\nlife, promote values, encourage reflection and create a sense of continuity\nwhile allowing room for innovation and growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Biteback Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54983366476120,"sku":"9781785909948","price":27.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781785909948_310178c2-8874-4bae-bd7e-6ecf65fa2141.jpg?v=1778665546","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/pomp-and-circumstance","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
