David Mankin
David Mankin is a contemporary painter of abstract landscapes based in Cornwall. A series of sell-out shows and a fast-expanding international following has generated widespread interest in how Mankin creates his evocative paintings. 'David Mankin: Remembering in paint' explores his creative process in detail providing the reader access to the sources and influences that inform his work.00Reeve-Edwards looks into Mankin?s continually evolving studio practice: his sources, both external and internal, his methods, tools, and his materials. She places Mankin?s work and approach to painting within the wider context of the Action Painters and Abstract Expressionists of the mid-century, as well as exploring Mankin?s individual approach to abstract painting.00Through its pages the reader can gain a remarkable insight into the artist?s work, process, and his profound attachment to the Cornish landscape.00Exhibition: Cornwall Contemporary Gallery, Penzance, UK (28.08. - 25.09.2021).
All About Process
In recent years, many prominent and successful artists have claimed that their primary concern is not the artwork they produce but the artistic process itself. In this volume, Kim Grant analyzes this idea and traces its historical roots, showing how changing concepts of artistic process have played a dominant role in the development of modern and contemporary art. This astute account of the ways in which process has been understood and addressed examines canonical artists such as Monet, Cézanne, Matisse, and De Kooning, as well as philosophers and art theorists such as Henri Focillon, R. G. Collingwood, and John Dewey. Placing “process art” within a larger historical context, Grant look...
Strategic Human Resource Management
"The well-respected author team strike the ideal balance between the latest academic theory and real-world practice, making this the most applied SHRM textbook written in an eminently student-friendly format."--Source inconnue.
Strategic Human Resource Management
This text offers a truly innovative, integrative framework that examines the traditional functional HR areas from a strategic perspective. This text is organized into two sections. The first section, Chapters 1-7, examines the context of strategic HR and develops a framework and conceptual model for the practice of strategic HR. The second section, Chapters 8-14, examines the actual practice and implementation of strategic HR through a discussion of strategic issues that need to be addressed while developing specific programs and policies related to the traditional functional areas of HR (staffing, training, performance management, etc.). The integrative framework that requires linkage between, consistency among these functional HR activities, and the approach toward writing about these traditional functional areas from a strategic perspective distinguish the text from what is currently on the market.
Epodes
The Epodes, with the first book of the Satires, were Horace's first published work. They consist of a collection of seventeen poems in different versions of the iambus, the metre traditionally associated with lampoon. David Mankin's introduction and commentary examine all aspects of Horace's relationship with his models and of the technical accomplishment of his verse; it also gives help with linguistic problems. His edition places the Epodes firmly in their literary and historical context: Rome at the time of its greatest crisis, the Civil War which ended the Republic and led to the establishment of the Principate. Students and scholars alike will welcome this commentary, only the second in any language since the 1930s and the only one providing a full and detailed interpretation in English.

Summertime, All the Cats Are Bored
A COMPELLING AND ADDICTIVE PAGETURNER TO IMMERSE YOURSELF IN THIS SUMMER "He waits joylessly, patiently, and lets himself go. The stone house may end up being his grave.
