Paint and Purpose
Item "presents detailed technical analyses of a number of Tate paintings."
Gainsborough
Gainsborough is widely acknowledged as one of the masters of eighteenth-century art. Published to accompany a major exhibition at Tate Britain in the Autumn of 2002, this book demonstrates the sheer range, quality and originality of Gainborough's ouevre, from his engagingly naturalistic landscapes to his glamorous yet highly sophisticated portraits. Alongside some of the most familiar images in British art, epitomising the elegance and charm of the age, are rarely seen examples that contibute a new and perhaps surprising vision of the artist's work.
Farm and Comunity Forestry
In 1984, when this book was originally published the need to take forestry outside the forests and involve local people in tree growing was widely recognised. Projects to encourage farm and community forestry were launched in over 50 developing countries. This book describes the main approaches which were taken, discussing their scope and limitation. It examines the reasons why people plant trees, and the constraints which prevent them from doing so. It analyses supply and demand systems for wood, and the underlying forces causing tree depletion. Key aspects of programme design and implementation are also covered, including technical problems, the role of extension services and programme planning requirements.
The P.U.R.E. Man
In a world where a womans independence has become clich, many women have begun to cling more to dependence. As a single parent, I can relate to having to maintain survival for my son and me independently. Although ultimately I understand who my Source is and I solely depend on God for everything, I can honestly say, I am ready to start depending on him my mate. The P.U.R.E. Man provides both men and women with attainable goals to maintaining a healthy and promising relationship. In this book, author Rica R. Jones shows women how to attract and hold on to a good man, and men how to recognize and acknowledge a good woman. Through her personal journey of failed relationships, and from the conversations with insight of other women, Jones creates a new definition of P.U.R.E. through exploration of the acronym. Rica R. Jones earned bachelors and masters degrees from the University of Phoenix Charlotte, North Carolina. She has mentored many young women through inspiring them to be the women God is calling them to be. As a result of her passion, on December 31, 2012, she started a non-profit organization Rare Jewels. She lives with her son, Khilen, in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Thomas Gainsborough
Also explored are his precocious early works, his subtle approach to the lucrative world of fashionable portraiture, the often pointed social commentary behind his seductive landscapes, and the exploratory nature of the last works."--BOOK JACKET.

A Passion for Performance
A Passion for Performance: Sarah Siddons and Her Portraitists brings together three engaging essays – by Robyn Asleson, Shelley Bennett and Mark Leonard, and Shearer West – that recreate the eventful life, both on and off the stage, of the great eighteenth-century actress Sarah Siddons. Siddons was renowned for her bravura performances in tragic roles, and her fame was enhanced by the many portraits of her painted by the leading artists of the day. The greatest of these was Sir Joshua Reynolds’s Sarah Siddons as the Tragic Muse, a painting now in the Huntington Art Collections and recently studied at the Getty Center. A Passion for Performance places this magnificent portrait within the context of Siddons’s career as an actress and cultural icon.
