Bringing the Strands Together John Storey and Iain Mangham This exciting book sets a new agenda for the interpretation of leadership. Including contributions from some of the most distinctive leading authorities in the field, it considers the newest themes to come out of the leadership debate. Of the many books written about leadership, few move beyond conventional accounts of theory, or truly scrutinise the leadership agenda. However, this exciting book sets a new agenda for the interpretation of leadership and development. Including contributions from some of the most distinctive leaders in the field, it considers the newest themes to come out of the leadership debate. Topics covered include: * leadership and integrity * learning leadership * career individualization * leadership development in the public sector. One of the first books to systematically link leadership and management, this distinctive and challenging text examines leadership in the context of career development. It critically assesses the more conventional training and development available to managers, and in doing so equips readers with the analytical perspectives and tools needed to understand the significance of leadership in contemporary organizations.

ATGET, Eugene
Arbres inédits d'Atget
|
(ATGET, Eugène) AUBENAS, Sylvie and LE GALL, Guillaume. Arbres inédits d'Atget [The Unpublished Trees of Atget]. [Paris]: Marval, (2003). Folio, original half black cloth, stiff gray wrappers, original clamshell portfolio. $450. First edition, "hors commerce" issue, of this exquisite folio volume of 39 exhibition-size sepia plates of previously unknown and unpublished photographs by Atget, taken in Hauts-de-Seine (Saint-Cloud) from 1909-11 but undiscovered until 1995, each superb image tipped to heavy card stock, this copy one of an unspecified limitation excluded from sale and intended for the employees of the publisher, printed coincident with a limited edition of 1,000 copies. Eugène Atget was "a photographer of such authority and originality that his work remains a bench mark against which much of the most sophisticated photographer measures itself… [His images] are seductively and deceptively simple, wholly poised, reticent, dense with experience, mysterious, and true" (Szarkowski, Looking at Photographs, 64). Arbes inédits d'Atget, published more than 75 years after his death, offers the first publication of 39 images of trees taken by Atget from 1909-11 in the park at Saint-Cloud (Hauts-de-Seine). "Found by chance, in an envelope which had never been opened," these were among 111 photographs left untouched since their purchase in July 1923 by the Bibliotheque Nationale de France in Paris. Other images in the envelope, of statues and terraces, were published separately, but these pictures of trees, taken by Atget with "his old-fashioned view camera with glass plates" (Roth, 11) were considered too abstract, too geographically imprecise. "The prints were all perfect," recalls curator Aubenas, "with good contrast and in this brown-red tone that is magnificent. They were written on in pencil in Atget's writing" (Libération). "Hors commerce" issue, one of an unspecified limitation withheld from sale, marked "HC" and intended only for those associated with the book's publication; printed simultaneous with a numbered limited edition of 1000 copies. Text in French with essays by Guillaume le Gall and Sylvie Aubenas. See Parr & Badger I:127; Open Book, 90. A fine copy.

Modern Aspects of Rare Earths and Their Complexes
|
Elsevier Science, 2003. BRAND NEW HARDBACK This book is printed on demand. (allow 1-2 weeks for printing)(1006 pages) the rare earth elements form a fascinating group, resembling each other very closely in both physical and chemical properties. the close similarity of the behaviour of the elements led to difficulties in isolation of the elements in a state of high purity. now that the separation and purification of these elements have been achieved, the chemistry and the industrial applications of the rare earth elements are drawing the attention of many scientists in the world, especially countries which possess vast reserves of rare earth minerals. some of the applications of mixed rare earths are as metallurgical additives for ferrous and non-ferrous metals, fluid cracking catalysts, lighter flints, polishing compounds in glasses, carbon arc cores for lighting and hydrogen absorbing alloys for rechargeable batteries. some of the salient applications of high-purity rare earth elements are cathode ray tubes, automotive catalytic converters, permanent mag*n*e*t*s in computer technology and sound systems, lasers, phosphors, electric motors, optical fibres, and possible future applications such as in coloured pigments for plastics and paints, new catalysts, refrigeration systems and solid oxide fuel cells. in order to use rare earths successfully in various applications, a good understanding of the chemistry of these elements is of paramount importance. nearly three to four decades have passed since titles such as the rare earths edited by f.h. spedding and a.h. daane, the chemistry of the rare earth elements by n.e. topp and complexes of the rare earths by s.p. sinha were published. there have been many international conferences and symposia on rare earths, as well as the series of volumes entitled handbook of physics and chemistry of rare earths edited by k.a. gschneidner and l. eyring. thus, there is a need for a new title covering modern aspects of rare earth complexes along with the applications. the pres

Tensegrity, Structural Systems for the Future
|
Elsevier Science 2003 - (280 pages) This book is printed on demand, please allow up to 10 days extra for delivery. The word tensegrity results from the contraction of 'tensional' and 'integrity', a word created by Richard Buckminster Fuller. He went on to describe tensegrity structures as 'islands of compression in an ocean of tension', and René Motro has developed a comprehensive definition which is 'systems in a stable self equilibriated system comprising a discontinuous set of compressed components inside a continuum of tensioned components'. This publication represents the life work of a leading exponent of a revolutionary and exciting method of structural design * Represents the life work of a leading exponent of a revolutionary and exciting method of structural design * Applicable to architecture as an established structural system, can also be applied to other fields * Design professionals will be able to design better structures.

Appendices Foldable Tensegrities is a topic unique to this book, since it is a result of the author's study for more than ten years. The information in this chapter may be helpful in research of deployable structures. In the final chapter on Actuality of Tensegrity he confirms that tensegrity is now applicable to architecture as an established structural system, while it can be applied to other fields as well. - Mamoru Kawaguchi, President of the International Association for Shell and Spatial Structures I am convinced that this volume will go a long way toward making the concept, the theory and the practicalities of tensegrity much more accessible. The design professionals will be able to design better structures. The interested non-professionals will experience the great pleasure of being able to say I understand why the Hisshorn tower stands up. - Stefan J.

Repertorio Del Design Italiano 1950-2000 Per L'Arredo Domestico
|
Umberto Allemandi, 2003. Fine A cura di Sergio Mazza. Torino, 2003; 2 voll., ril. in cofanetto, pp. 614, ill. b/n, cm 25x35. (Archivi di arti decorative). Il più ampio repertorio generale tipologico dal 1950 al 2000. Dopo il precedente volume che costituiva il Dizionario dei designers operanti in Italia, più volte ristampato, Giuliana Gramigna con Sergio Mazza ha costruito questo vastissimo repertorio cronologico con le schede di 3100 oggetti suddivisi per tipologie funzionali (lampade, tavoli, sedie, poltrone, divani, letti, librerie, ecc. ) disegnati da 510 progettisti in gran parte italiani (tra i quali Castiglioni, Cerri, Cini Boeri, Giotto Stoppino, Magistretti, Mangiarotti, Mendini, Scarpa, Sottsass, Starck, Zanuso) per Arflex, Arteluce, Artemide, Azucena, B&B, Bonacina, Cappellini, Cassina, Driade, Flos, Fontana Arte, Gavina, Kartell, Memphis, O-Luce, Poltronova, Quattrifolio, Zanotta e altre aziende leader nel settore del design. Il volume accompagna anno per anno, e per cinquanta anni, l'evoluzione incessante nella creatività del design per l'arredamento: cambiano i materiali, gli strumenti della progettazione, le filosofie che ne sono alla base; mutano i rapporti con la produzione industriale, ma anche la collocazione nelle abitazioni e le connessioni con il mondo dell'architettura e della moda. Un processo creativo che accompagna per mezzo secolo la modernizzazione della società italiana. Il volume documenta una stagione con una ampiezza senza precedenti sul futuro del design italiano e propone anche gli elementi essenziali per una riflessione nel confronto con le scuole straniere e con l'evoluzione tecnologica delle aziende impegnate nella sfida del nuovo millennio.

BEYER, Andreas e.a.;
L'ART DU PORTRAIT,
|
Paris Citadelles & Mazenod 2003. Relie, toile sous jaquette illustree, 275 x 330mm., 416pp., illustrations : 274 en couleur. Cassette illustree. ISBN 2850881880.. L'effigie individuelle de l'homme a connu au cours des siecles des destinees fort diverses. Faisant fi des accusations de la theorie artistique, qui lui reprochait de n'etre qu'une simple imitation de la nature, le portrait s'est impose comme une tache capitale de l'art, une tache que tous les grands noms de la peinture - Van Eyck, Clouet, Dürer, Raphael, Holbein, Titien, Hals, Rembrandt, Velazquez, Goya, Ingres, Manet et, plus pres de nous, Van Gogh, Picasso ou Warhol- ont elevee a ses plus hauts sommets. La selection de chefs-d'oeuvre operee ici, presentes de maniere chronologique, rend compte de tous les styles d'oeuvres : portraits officiels et d'apparat, portraits intimistes, de groupe ou d'amis, autoportraits et portraits histories... La succession et la confrontation de ces peintures visent egalement a aiguiser le regard, afin qu'il reconnaisse les conventions et les inventions perceptibles dans cette volonte de saisir la personnalite individuelle du modele. Representer un personnage n'est pas seulement en restituer la physionomie, c'est aussi le mettre en scene. La forme meme du portrait apparait comme l'expression eloquente d'une conscience de soi propre a chaque epoque, comme un fil conducteur a travers l'histoire de l'art. Decharge d'une partie de sa fonction par la photographie, le portrait devient alors distanciation par rapport a l'image fidele, pour s'aventurer sur le terrain de la distorsion et de l'abstraction. L'auteur decrit dans son texte l'histoire du portrait et de ses modeles dans un dialogue intense avec les oeuvres dont la lecture est etayee par des legendes commentees. Le lecteur parcourt ainsi un musee imaginaire de visages et de silhouettes, illustres ou anonymes, qui mettent en lumiere realites historiques et humaines. De l'Antiquite a nos jours, plus de deux cents peintures reproduites en pleine page, et sous forme de details fortement agrandis, illustrent l'un des genres les plus dynamiques de l'histoire de l'art. Etat nouveau.
