Chinese Export Porcelains

The blue and white porcelain exported by China in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries is an important category of artifacts and antiques, a fashion-sensitive commodity that was affected by the ebbs and flows of style and consumer demand. In this copiously illustrated, comprehensive guide to Chinese export porcelain, Andrew Madsen offers both a broad overview and detailed identification and context information for the most common styles and motifs. His focus on the determination of manufacture dates, which are based primarily on data collected from armorial decorated export wares, porcelain cargoes from dated shipwrecks, and tightly dated archaeological contexts, will allow students, scholars, and collectors to refine associations with Chinese export porcelain, revealing the untapped quantity of information that mass-produced Chinese export porcelain has to

The Saturdays Enright Elizabeth

Meet the Melendys The four Melendy children live with their father and Cuffy, their beloved housekeeper, in a worn but comfortable brownstone in New York City. There's thirteen-year-old Mona, who has decided to become an actress; twelve-year-old mischievous Rush; ten-and-a-half-year-old Randy, who loves to dance and paint; and thoughtful Oliver, who is just six.Tired of wasting Saturdays doing nothing but wishing for larger allowances, the four Melendys jump at Randy's idea to start the Independent Saturday Afternoon Adventure Club (I.S.A.A.C.). If they pool their resources and take turns spending the whole amount, they can each have at least one memorable Saturday afternoon of their own. Before long, I.S.A.A.C. is in operation and every Saturday is definitely one to remember.Written more than half a century ago, The Saturdays unfolds with all the ripe details

Sorceress - Celia Rees

As Witch Child ends so Sorceress begins. Alison Ellman is still searching for information about Mary Newbury; she has a diary and some scattered information about other people in Mary's life, but Mary has disappeared into the forests and Alison has no way of following her. But when she meets Agnes Herne, Alison encounters the person who is going to tell her all about Mary's life after she leaves Beulah. Agnes is a descendant of Mary's and has a special skill which allows her to be in touch with Mary in the spirit world. And Mary has a story to tell. A story of love and friendship, sadness and loss. A story that takes her across the New World in an epic search for a home. We fell under the spell of Mary in Witch Child and now at last we find out what happened to her after her ill-fated time in Beulah. Just as Mary's story has to be told to Agnes, it has to be read by us for it is passionate, compelling and utterly wonderful.

The Character Edge - Robert L. Caslen Jr., Michael D. Matthews

The Character Edge is a groundbreaking leadership book that shows you how to win the right way. Based on real-life experiences and empirical research, it is co-authored by retired three-star General and former Superintendent of the US Military Academy at West Point, Robert Caslen, and Professor of Engineering Psychology at West Point, Dr. Michael Matthews.From the battlefield to the classroom, General Caslen and Dr. Matthews have witnessed firsthand the vital link between strong character and strong leadership, and how the latter cannot exist without the former. Competence matters, but without character, leadership ultimately fails. And the co-authors are increasingly troubled by the prevalence of character failures in society today; dishonest politicians, CEOs committing fraud, disgraced military commanders, and cheating athletes are among many other "win at any cost" stories dominating the news.While serving as head of West Point (the "Preeminent Leader Development Institution"), General Caslen personally oversaw the development of a plan to assess and foster character as a means of shaping tomorrow's leaders, a focus supported by Dr. Matthews's work. They now want to spread what they have learned to a much broader audience.The Character Edge will weave stories from their own lives and myriad other leaders together with new research about how to classify, measure, and cultivate character. The book is the first of its kind in employing the insights of a decorated military leader together with the knowledge of a prominent positive psychologist. It provides a compelling case for the powerful role character plays in trust, culture, and leadership; and it offers readers tools to exercise and strengthen their own character.

Walking With Ghosts: A memoir

With poetic sensibility he recalls the people, landscapes and culture that have influenced his life and work. Defiantly original, this is both a candid exploration of the ambivalence of fame, and a lyrical often heartbreaking account of boyhood in an Ireland now largely disappeared.

Reflexe terénního výzkumu v Maroku

Paul Rabinow je předním americkým kulturním antropologem, jenž sehrál významnou úlohu v kritickém přehodnocování forem a norem antropologie, zejména v prosazování reflexivity jako plnohodnotné součásti antropologické tvorby dat. Rabinow v díle demystifikuje terénní výzkum jako základní metodologickou orientaci oboru, ukazuje, že jeho průběh a výsledky se odvíjejí nejen od užitých výzkumných technik, ale rovněž a neodmyslitelně od povahy výzkumníka a jeho naladěnosti.Rabinow živou a otevřenou formou líčí svá setkávání s Maročany i francouzskými usedlíky, trampoty a nástrahy antropologického terénního výzkumu, pochybnosti a myšlenky, nad nimiž během výzkumu přemítal. Třeba okamžik, kdy svého spolupracovníka Alího naštvaně vyhodil z auta a nechal jej dojít domů pěšky. Kladl si otázku, zda to znamená konec jeho vědeckého snažení v Maroku. V současnosti je reflexivita nedílnou součástí antropologického výzkumu i prezentace jeho výsledků a kniha Reflexe terénního výzkumu v Maroku se velice rychle zařadila do antropologického kánonu, i když se Rabinowovi dostalo varování, že vydáním díla si zničí slibně se rozvíjející kariéru.

Managing Oneself - Peter F. Drucker

We live in an age of unprecedented opportunity: with ambition, drive, and talent, you can rise to the top of your chosen profession regardless of where you started out. But with opportunity comes responsibility. Companies today aren't managing their knowledge workers careers. Instead, you must be your own chief executive officer. That means it's up to you to carve out your place in the world and know when to change course. And it's up to you to keep yourself engaged and productive during a career that may span some 50 years. In Managing Oneself, Peter Drucker explains how to do it. The
