William A. Cohen Ph.D.
A Class with Drucker: The Lost Lessons of the World`s Greatest Management Teacher

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Hailed as “a warm and useful read,” A Class with Drucker brings to life invaluable advice from the world’s greatest thinker and writer on management. From 1975 to 1979, author William Cohen studied under the great Peter Drucker and became the first graduate of his doctoral program. What Drucker taught him literally changed his life. In a matter of a few years, he was recommissioned in the Air Force and rose to the rank of major general. Eventually, he became a full professor, management consultant, multibook author, and university president—all while maintaining a nearly lifelong friendship with the master. In A Class with Drucker, Cohen shares many of Drucker’s teachings that never made it into his countless books and articles, ideas that were offered to his students in classroom or informal settings. Cohen expands on Drucker’s lessons with personal anecdotes about his teacher’s personality, lack of pretension, and interactions with students and others. He also shows how Drucker’s… [detailed...]

A Clinical Introduction to Lacanian Psychoanalysis: Theory and Technique

1999 y.
Publisher: Harvard University Press
Description: `The goal of my teaching has always been, and remains, to train analysts.` --Jacques Lacan, Seminar XI, 209 Arguably the most profound psychoanalytic thinker since Freud, and deeply influential in many fields, Jacques Lacan often seems opaque to those he most wanted to reach. These are the readers Bruce Fink addresses in this clear and practical account of Lacan`s highly original approach to therapy. Written by a clinician for clinicians, Fink`s Introduction is an invaluable guide to Lacanian psychoanalysis, how it`s done, and how it differs from other forms of therapy. While elucidating many of Lacan`s theoretical notions, the book does so from the perspective of the practitioner faced with the pressing questions of diagnosis, what therapeutic stance to adopt, how to involve the patient, and how to bring about change. Fink provides a comprehensive overview of Lacanian analysis, explaining the analyst`s aims and interventions at each point in the treatment. He uses… [detailed...]

Description: A Closer Look is the new series title for the updated and refreshed National Gallery Pocket Guide range. The series has been enhanced with a stronger format, attractive design, new photography, and additional information. It is self-evident that colour is fundamental to painting, but it is not always obvious from looking at pictures what kinds of materials may be used by an artist to make colour. This Pocket Guide explains how coloured pigments are combined with a medium to form a paint layer, and how this affects our perception of the appearance of colour. It not only describes the materials of colour but also explains colour theories and examines writings about colour, including painters’ treatises.Through a selection of superb pictures from the National Gallery, London, including works by Piero della Francesca, Leonardo, Titian, Caravaggio, Canaletto, Rembrandt, Velazquez, Monet, and Seurat, the authors demonstrate how painters through the centuries have exploited the… [detailed...]

A Closer Look: Conservation of Paintings

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A Closer Look is the new series title for the updated and refreshed National Gallery Pocket Guide range. The series has been enhanced with a stronger format, attractive design, new photography, and additional information. The philosophy of modern conservation is different from that of previous eras: the emphasis now is on long-term stabilization by methods that alter the structure of a painting as little as possible. Nevertheless, if paintings are obscured by discolored varnishes and old repaints, they are cleaned, and this has often led to anxiety and debate as long-admired images are transformed. A Closer Look: Conservation of Paintings discusses the material nature of paintings and the ways that they have changed, both naturally and at the hands of previous restorers. It also describes the main types of conservation treatment carried out on panel and canvas paintings and some of the complex issues involved in cleaning and restoration. [detailed...]

How did the rude Rhinoceros get his baggy skin? How did a `satiably curious Elephant change the lives of his kin evermore?

Now, in this sumptuous volume, Kipling`s playful, inventive tales are brought to life by eight of today`s celebrated illustrators, from Peter SA­s`s elegantly graphic cetacean in `How the Whale Got His Throat` to Satoshi Kitamura`s amusingly expressive characters in `The Cat That Walked by Himself.` From one of the world`s greatest storytellers come eight classic tales just begging to be heard by a new generation — and a visual feast that offers a reward with every… [detailed...]

A Collection of Verse and Villanelles

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description A Collection of Verse and Villanelles contains one hundred villanelles alternating with free verse. The villanelle style of poetry can be recognized by Dylan Thomas` famous poem `Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night.` It contains four tercets of three lines ending in a quatrain. The first and the third lines are repetitious throughout the poem. Free verse does not rely on rhyme but uses cadence mixed with assonance and consonance as illustrated by Walt Whitman in `Leaves of Grass.` Bothliterary forms use other poetic devices, such as alliteration, simile, metaphor and imagery. More descriptive and historical characteristics are outlined in this book`s preface. Free verse, however, may be a little more pensive than the villanelle which is why I chose to alternate each style in the succeeding pages. These poems vary in mood and there are enough different voices to accompany many of the varying moods we might go through. Who can count the vast expanse of human emotion,… [detailed...]

A Combinatorial Approach to Matrix Theory and Its Applications (Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications)

Description: Unlike most elementary books on matrices, A Combinatorial Approach to Matrix Theory and Its Applications employs combinatorial and graph-theoretical tools to develop basic theorems of matrix theory, shedding new light on the subject by exploring the connections of these tools to matrices. After reviewing the basics of graph theory, elementary counting formulas, fields, and vector spaces, the book explains the algebra of matrices and uses the Konig digraph to carry out simple matrix operations. It then discusses matrix powers, provides a graph-theoretical definition of the determinant using the Coates digraph of a matrix, and presents a graph-theoretical interpretation of matrix inverses. The authors develop the elementary theory of solutions of systems of linear equations and show how to use the Coates digraph to solve a linear system. They also explore the eigenvalues, eigenvectors, and characteristic polynomial of a matrix, examine the important properties of nonnegative matrices… [detailed...]

A Comment on the Commentaries and A Fragment on Government (The Collected Works of Jeremy Bentham)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In the two related works in this volume, Bentham offers a detailed critique of William Blackstone`s Commentaries on the Laws of England (1765-9). In `Comment on the Commentaries,` on which Bentham began work in 1774, he exposes the fallacies which he claims to have detected in Blackstone, and criticizes the theory of the Common Law. He goes on to provide important reflections on the nature of law, and more particularly on the nature of customary and of statute law, and on judicial interpretation. A Fragment on Government, which was published in 1776, was detached from the `Comment on the Commentaries.` Concentrating on a passage of five or six pages in which Blackstone discusses the origin of society and government, Bentham offers three main criticisms. First, he criticizes Blackstone`s methodology for failing to distinguish between the role of the expositor and the role of the censor, and thereby confusing the question of what the law is with the question of what the law ought to… [detailed...]
