Описание: This book is a fictionalised life of a character in advertising with some true real life events and accurate anecdotes, which are deliberate to demonstrate what advertising was really like in the last quarter of the C20th and bit beyond. All of the other stories could have happened and in many cases, in one way or another did, but they have been fictionalised to protect the identities of companies and personnel. The book is intended to be a good light-hearted romp.

Описание: Howard Altmann interrogates the sky, the light, the world, about their intentions. If he seldom finds reassuring answers, he finds something better: 'When all that consoled consoles no longer / loneliness finds a room inside the one it knows.' These poems are as essential as a glass of water.--John Ashbery Though not exactly a nature poet, Howard Altmann is a poet of his own mysterious kingdom, 'a house' in which he has built a house, whose walls are open to the inspiration of air. ('Frightened of the next life / being exactly like this life / he asked to be a bird' or 'Let it not be words / you reach for you say-- / where the trees stand / far from men'). To have discovered this kingdom and inhabited it (like Keats' Imagination, as monk to monastery)--to have found words for what is nearly unsayable--is a measure of this poet's uncanny transformational gift. Enter the house of these poems and stay on, a grateful tenant in this remarkable state of wonder.--Carol Muske-Dukes Howard Altmann has found a way to make language transform itself. If the elusive moment between I and Thou could speak, it might be one of his quietly amazing lines--'you ask the silence to invert itself / like a gymnast in the dark . . . ' Without a trace of rhetoric, In This House reminds us of the power of poetry: to show us how to live in a world in which we are strangers. It's a thrill to come close to such an original and deeply realized art.--Dennis Nurkse Howard Altmann lives in New York City but he was born and raised in Montreal, Canada, where he graduated from McGill University. He received his MBA from Stanford University and worked as senior vice president of a real estate investment company. He has taught poetry at a women's prison in Manhattan, and he has written children's stories and plays. He is the author of The Johnsons and The Thompsons, which was published by Playscripts, Inc., in 2008. Poems from In This House have appeared in Poetry, Ploughshares, New England Review, and Open City.

Описание: The 18th and 19th centuries in the Western Highlands were a time of upheaval and hardship for the clans of Scotland. Once protected by the clan chiefs, everything changed following the battle of Culloden in 1746. Bonnie Prince Charles used the Highland Jacobite warriors in an attempt to reclaim the Stuart throne and a united Great Britain. However, after several successful battles, the Jacobites were unable to fend off the larger and well-armed British in a final bloody defeat on the moor of Culloden. Following this defeat of the Jacobites, the British retaliated by inflicting great punishment on the Western Highland clans. These penalties greatly affected their lifestyle and their lives would never be the same.The Macleans and the Campbells, once warring clans, found themselves working together trying to survive the rule of the laird on the somewhat inhospitable environment of the Isle of Mull. In this informative tale there is birth, death, superstitions, religion, marriages, celebrations and struggles to survive.This Scottish tale explores the lives of Anna Maclean and Donald Campbell, my Scottish ancestors. Generally, there is an abundance of stories written about the rich and famous, but an inadequate supply of tales describing the life of the peasant.Anna, the Witch of Mull, might satisfy some of your curiosity about the life of poor farmers. No matter what country of origin during these centuries the poor had similar challenges trying to survive. Much research was done to portray the life of my ancestors as accurately as possible.
Experimental, provocative and largely ignored by art historians, the radical female artists of the German Democratic Republic
This important volume gathers 36 female artists from behind the Iron Curtain between the years 1961 and 1989, attempting a contextualization of nonconformist, female art production in the Eastern Bloc. Exploring how these artists produced work within the terms of mythology, protest and self-definition, The Medea Insurrection rewrites the male-dominated narrative of postwar European art.
Artists include: Magdalena Abakanowicz, Allerleirauh, Monika Andres, Tina Bara, Annemirl Bauer, Sibylle Bergemann, Geta Bratescu, Orshi Drozdik, Erfurt, Else Gabriel, Angela Hampel, Christa Jeitner, Magdalena Jetelov , Judit Kele, Bela Kol rov , Alena Kucerov , Angelika Kroker, Zofia Kulik, Verena Kyselka, Katalin Ladik, Natalia LL, Ana Lupas, Dora Maurer, Ewa Partum, Evelyn Richter, Zofia Rydet, Zorka S glov , Christine Schlegel, Gundula Schulze Eldowy, Cornelia Schleime, Adriena Simotov , Gabriele St tzer, Erika St rmer-Alex, Alina Szapocznikow, Karla Woisnitza, Hanne Wandtke and Doris Ziegler.

When thirty-two-year-old actor Gregor Collins reluctantly interviewed for a job as a caregiver more out of a favor to a friend - he had no idea his life was about to change forever.
Seconds into a chance meeting in 2008 with, it would turn out, a world-renowned Holocaust refugee named Maria Altmann, there was an unexplainable magic in the air - it felt as if they had already met. And Collins was suddenly thrown into a situation with which he had never before been confronted: caring for someone other than himself.
Gregor offers us a personal and unprecedented look at Maria over the three intimate years he cared for her - her thrilling escape from the Nazis, her fight and subsequent win in the landmark Supreme Court Case to return original Gustav Klimt artwork that belonged to her family in Austria, and the extraordinary people she met along the way. But the real heart of the story transcends mere historical fact.
Through a refreshingly raw portrayal of their unlikely and unbreakable bond, imbued with humorous, candid anecdotes about his mercurial relationship with Hollywood, Gregor takes us on a deeply emotional journey of how he opened up his heart to a 92-year-old woman in need - and in turn experienced the love he had been searching for his entire life.

Описание: The present volume presents objective methods to detect and analyse various forms of repetitions. Repetition of textual elements is more than a superficial phenomenon. It may even be considered as constitutive for units and relations in a text: on a primary level when no other way exists to establish a unit – as in a musical composition (a motif can be recognised as such only after at least one repetition) – and on a secondary, artistic level, where repetition is a consequence of the transfer of the equivalence principle from the paradigmatic axis to the syntagmatic one as showed by R. Jakobson.The analysis of repetitive elements and structures in texts with objective mathematical means can serve several practical and theoretical purposes, among them:Characterisation of texts by means of parameters (measures, indicators) as taken from established mathematical statistics or specifically constructed ones in individual cases.Comparison of texts on the basis of their quantitative characteristics and classification of the texts by the results.Research for the laws of text, which control the mechanisms connected to text creation. As a remote aim, the construction of a theory of text consisting of a system of text laws. The final attempt of every possible quantitative text analysis is the construction of a text theory. The book illustrates this on examples of such laws and corresponding empirical tests.

Описание: Spiritual Leadership in Action: The CEL Story is designed for thoughtful leaders working in the complexity and messiness of their daily organisational lives. It is a book first and foremost about people, about the ways they find purpose, creativity and meaning in their professional work; how they thrive in community and fulfil their deep desire to be of service to others against seemingly impossible odds and limitations. A study of how full human potential and creativity is released, how the spirit within, and without, can be experienced and manifested. It is also story of ordinary people achieving extraordinary results, individually and collectively; of people becoming more than they thought was possible; and having fun along the way. This is a practical book with reflections, legacy and “lessons learnt” to support and guide busy leaders who are looking for wisdom and to learn from the experiences and mistakes of others. Spiritual Leadership in Action: The CEL Story is the result of serious and rigorous academic research. It is a case study containing features, dilemmas and opportunities facing all leaders today. A leadership narrative of a professional community who learned to live and work together with respect and harmony. It is also the story of a CEO leader and the integration of her spiritual yearning and fulfilment manifested through her professional vocation and calling. In particular it explores how: To create effective collaborative partnershipsTo deliver outstanding value for money on limited resources in complex contextsTo develop excellent commercial practices within a public sector organisationTo nurture the spirit, high energy and performance of everyone involved to ensure outstanding success on the triple bottom lineThis book challenges the reader to be bold, creative, reflective, trusting, even more allowing of their own spirit and leadership path, and to rise to even greater achievements; but most of all to fulfil their own deepest yearnings and potential and to become the very best of what they are meant to be, both as a leader and as a human being. An important feature in this book is that spirituality and religion are distinct, and that organisational spiritual leadership can be inclusive or exclusive of religious theory and practice. The Centre for Excellence in Leadership (CEL) serves as a role model for maximising the triple bottom line through both personal and organisational spiritual leadership. CEL is a stellar example of an organisation that embraced organisational spiritual leadership, the values of altruistic love, employee well-being, and sustainability while maintaining high levels of financial performance. Spiritual Leadership in Action: The CEL Story chronicles how, as CEO, Lynne Sedgmore led CEL through its spiritual journey, including several “Dark Nights of the Soul,” to a place of pre-eminence in the United Kingdom’s Learning and Skills sector.
