Описание: This is a book about why medieval manuscripts matter. Coming face to face with an important illuminated manuscript in the original is like meeting a very famous person. We may all pretend that a well-known celebrity is no different from anyone else, and yet there is an undeniable thrill in actually meeting and talking to a person of world stature.The idea for the book, which is entirely new, is to invite the reader into intimate conversations with twelve of the most famous manuscripts in existence and to explore with the author what they tell us about nearly a thousand years of medieval history - and sometimes about the modern world too. Christopher de Hamel introduces us to kings, queens, saints, scribes, artists, librarians, thieves, dealers, collectors and the international community of manuscript scholars, showing us how he and his fellows piece together evidence to reach unexpected conclusions.

In this McKinsey Award-winning article, first published in May 1989, Gary Hamel and C.K. Prahalad explain that Western companies have wasted too much time and energy replicating the cost and quality advantages their global competitors already experience. Canon and other world-class competitors have taken a different approach to strategy: one of strategic intent. They begin with a goal that exceeds the company's present grasp and existing resources: "Beat Xerox"; "encircle Caterpillar." Then they rally the organization to close the gap by setting challenges that focus employees' efforts in the near to medium term: "Build a personal copier to sell for $1,000"; "cut product development time by 75%." Year after year, they emphasize competitive innovation--building a portfolio of competitive advantages; searching markets for "loose bricks" that rivals have left underdefended; changing the terms of competitive engagement to avoid playing by the leader's rules. The result is a global leadership position and an approach to competition that has reduced larger, stronger Western rivals to playing an endless game of catch-up.

An i is fuzzy about who it is because it is transparent, while its friends A, E O, U and Sometimes Y all have their own distinct color. While playing at making words with some consonants, the i becomes frustrated because it feels it cannot be seen and quits. The other vowels discover some words are impossible to make without the i. As the i imagines all the different colors it wants to be, it also imagines all the things it wants. And what it wants comes to the i, sticking to it, making the i very hard to see. It is now a fuzzy i. The i realizes that it is not about what color it is or what it has that makes it a unique i. The I is perfect just the way it is.
The Fuzzy i is the third children's book by author and illustrato Jennie Hamel. Jennie's engaging style of hand drawn illustrations and simple cartoon characters delights children of all ages. The Fuzzy i is a "reading to" book for children ages 3 to 6 and all children who are learning about vowels and consonants. The Fuzzy i is also a teaching story about how to be comfortable being oneself and being ok to be different and "me." There are twenty three short reading pages with illustrations makeing The Fuzzy i perfect for bedtime reading or any "reading to" time for both for parents and grandparents.
Jennie Hamel is an artist and author/ilustrator of children's books.

Описание: La « question du Quebec » se pose des l’adoption de l’Acte de l’Amerique du Nord britannique en 1867 et n’a jamais cesse depuis de mobiliser le debat constitutionnel au Canada. Reactivee pendant la Revolution tranquille dans les annees 1960, elle n’a pas trouve la reponse attendue. Depuis le rapatriement de la Constitution canadienne initie en 1981 et mis en ?uvre en 1982 par Pierre Elliott Trudeau, l’imbroglio constitutionnel est dans l’impasse. L’esprit de reconciliation ou de compromis s’evanouit suite a l’echec de l’Accord du lac Meech (1990) et de l’Accord de Charlottetown (1992). Depuis deux decennies le dialogue de sourds entre le Quebec et le Canada semble s’etre fossilise. Est-il encore envisageable de trouver une solution acceptable pour depasser la dualite fondatrice du Canada ? L’objectif de ce livre est d’explorer les termes du debat social, politique et constitutionnel autour de la « question du Quebec » telle que celle-ci a ete posee par les acteurs sociaux et politiques tant au Quebec que dans le reste du Canada. Ce livre met en lumiere la complexite de la crise constitutionnelle canadienne.
