Padma Desai
Conversations on Russia: Reform from Yeltsin to Putin

2006 y.
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Description: Much of the discussion of Russia`s recent post-Communist history has amounted, both in Russia and the West, to a series of monologues by strong-minded people with starkly divergent views. In contrast, Padma Desai`s conversations with influential, intelligent participants and observers provide the reader with a broad, nuanced view of what has and has not happened in the last fourteen years, and why. Conversations from Russia will thus serve as a much-needed reference volume, both for academics who study Russia and for laypeople who only have vague perceptions of what has occurred in Russia since the collapse of Communism. In conversations with important figures like Boris Yeltsin, George Soros, Anatoly Chubais, and Yegar Gaidar, Desai considers questions like why the Soviet Union fell apart under Gorbachev, what went wrong with economic reforms after Gorbachev, whether the privatization of Russian assets could have been managed differently, and what the prospects are for the… [detailed...]

Jonathan Cott
Conversations with Glenn Gould

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description One of the most idiosyncratic and charismatic musicians of the twentieth century, pianist Glenn Gould (1932–82) slouched at the piano from a sawed-down wooden stool, interpreting Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart at hastened tempos with pristine clarity. A strange genius and true eccentric, Gould was renowned not only for his musical gifts but also for his erratic behavior: he often hummed aloud during concerts and appeared in unpressed tails, fingerless gloves, and fur coats. In 1964, at the height of his controversial career, he abandoned the stage completely to focus instead on recording and writing. Jonathan Cott, a prolific author and poet praised by Larry McMurtry as `the ideal interviewer,` was one of the very few people to whom Gould ever granted an interview. Cott spoke with Gould in 1974 for Rolling Stone and published the transcripts in two long articles, after Gould`s death, Cott gathered these interviews in Conversations with Glenn… [detailed...]

Conversations: Prose and Poetry

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Description Prose interspersed with poetries, `Conversations` is a text which deals with the ambiguities of modern life. It is about the interactions which determine the weighing of language that creates thought in the internal life of the mind. As we live in this era of social disorder and political ideals, drugs and medication, repression and individual expression, fundamental theology and secular atheism this book attempts to resolve the conflict which not only destroys society yet seems to cause the obliteration of personal endeavour. It is representative of these dichotomies and the ironies therein that hold together the balances of existence. And yet, within this textual form of internal dialogue, this seeks to be a book of hope in that night after night follows the birth of a fresh new day. About the Author John Fisher is a writer who has created a number of books of poetry and displayed rare samples of prose for publication. Educated at Eton College he has tried… [detailed...]

Conversion to Modernism: The Early Work of Man Ray

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionMan Ray (1890-1976) has long been considered one of the most versatile and innovative artists of the twentieth century. As a painter, writer, sculptor, photographer, and filmmaker, he is best known for his intimate association with the French Surrealist group in Paris during the 1920s and 1930s, particularly for his highly inventive and unconventional photographic images. These remarkable accomplishments, however, have tended to overshadow the importance of his earlier work-significant not only for comprehending Man Ray`s future artistic development, but also for fleshing out our understanding of the visual arts in America during one of the most important and crucial phases of modernism`s evolution. The book, and the exhibition for which it serves as the catalogue, concentrate on Man Ray`s production from 1907 to 1917. Conversion to Modernism is the first comprehensive, fully illustrated work to examine this artist`s seminal years, beginning with his high school… [detailed...]

Converted Spaces / Convertir I`Espace / Verwandelte Raume

2006 y.

Description: The task of restoring a building can sometimes prove more difficult than constructing a new one from scratch, not only because some parts of it may have to be preserved on account of their historical value, but also because it is unusual to have certain knowledge of the state of its structure before embarking on the project. The European tendency to respect the buildings of the past in the aftermath of World War II has led, in recent years, to a certain degree of artificiality, and many projects have fallen back on ill-informed traditionalism or on so-called restorations that only preserve a building`s fagade but are otherwise entirely new. Such practices have been counteracted by the emergence of a more enlightened approach that considers refurbishment as the adaptation of an old building to contemporary requirements and places less emphasis on a dialogue with the past. This book offers a carefully chosen selection of works by architects from all over the world, encompassing… [detailed...]

By implementing its Customer Management Integration Framework, a company can see cash flows for each customer relationship, and use that information to effectively manage key customers for higher and more resilient levels of profitability.
