Grey cloth boards with gray lettering on spine color illustrated dust jacket ix 207 pp. profusely illustrated with 179 color and countless bw plates. Published to accompany an exhibition held at the National Gallery in Washington DC. The Forest of Fontainebleau located about 50 miles southeast of Paris held a singular place in 19th-century art. Variously called "savage" "wild" "romantic" and "beautiful" by visitors Fontainebleau's topography was viewed in many ways that reflected the sensibilities of the time. This is the first English-language publication to examine the significance of the region to the plein-air tradition in France. The book highlights four pivotal figures in the evolution of landscape painting: Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot The;odore Rousseau Jean-François Millet and Claude Monet. It integrates into this history the photographers who worked at Fontainebleau including Eugène Cuvelier and Gustave Le Gray and explores the role the forest played in the development of early photography. It also considers the reception of paintings of Fontainebleau at the Salons and the influence of Fontainebleau on the advent of Impressionism. Contents as follows: Lenders to the Exhibition -- Map of Fontainebleau -- Landscapes Legends Souvenirs Fantasies: The Forest of Fontainebleau in the Nineteenth Century / Kimberly Jones -- Plates -- Discovery -- Topography -- Trees -- Rocks -- Village Life -- Nature and Observation -- Mystery of the Forest: Paintings of Fontainebleau at the Salon / Simon Kelly -- Infinite Museum: Photography in the Forest of Fontainebleau / Sarah Kennel -- Impressionists at Fontainebleau / Helga Aurisch.

1978ref. 820501978. New York: Praeger Publishers 1978. New York: Praeger Publishers 1978. Kennedy Tom. Simon Charles E. An Examination of Questionable Payments and Practices. New York: Praeger Publishers 1978. xiii 416 pp. Publisher's cloth hardcover with gilt lettered spine and front cover. Moderate shelfwear. Internally clean. $25. Based on investigations by the Securities and Exchange Commission SEC the book explores a time when more than 400 U.S. companies admitted to making hundreds of millions of dollars in illegal or "questionable" payments. This widespread problem tarnished corporate reputations and eroded public trust in American business. The questionable payments which ran the gamut from outright bribery to smaller "facilitating payments" were made primarily to foreign government officials politicians and political parties. Payments were often designed to secure favorable actions obtain business contracts or influence foreign government policies. The scandals revealed a significant breakdown in corporate accountability systems and led to a re-examination of accounting practices. Many companies were caught using slush funds often disguised in their accounting records to make these payments. The authors' examination provides historical context for the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 which made it illegal for U.S. companies and individuals to bribe foreign government officials. The book explores the ethical and business implications of this behavior in the years leading up to the groundbreaking legislation. unknown books

ABOUT THIS BOOK: This addition to our popular Guides for the Perplexed series tackles a subject that is enjoying renewed debate: Christianity along with Judaism and Islam claims that the universe is not a brute fact. It is 'created'. But what do we mean by 'creation' Do we mean that the universe is 'designed' Is it the product of an evolutionary process How are creatures related to God and does God act within creation Simon Oliver begins with the background to the Christian theology of creation in Greek philosophy and the Old Testament. This provides a route into understanding the claim that we are part of a created order that is also the theatre of God's providential action. He examines different understandings of creation including creation out of nothing and the analogy of being with close reference to the work of patristic and medieval theologians such as Augustine and Thomas Aquinas. This leads to an historical overview of the relationship between theological philosophical and scientific approaches to creation in the modern period. Some of the ethical issues concerning humanity's place within and treatment of creation and our environment are also examined. A distinctive yet traditional theology of creation is proposed focused on the concepts of gift and participation as ways of understanding more fully the meaning and implications of the claim that the universe is created.Publisher.
