This latest volume in the New Naturalist series provides a comprehensive study of wildlife conservation in Britain, concentrating on events in the last 30 years. As our environment is subjected to increasing assault from climatic changes and pollutants, conservation has become a growing concern for both specialists and generalists alike. The first chapter of this book considers the political and institutional development of nature conservation and reviews the physical and biological nature of Britain, its geology, climate and wildlife habitats. Subsequent chapters cover the loss of habitats and species, how these losses have been managed and the techniques used to survey and monitor the integration of nature conservation policies in industries from agriculture to forestry and fisheries. Marren continues by discussing how nature conservation has emerged from the sidelines to become a major concern. He addresses the role of the media, weighs up the successes and failures of the conservation movement and looks to what the future may hold.

Sure to be hailed alongside H is for Hawk and The Hare with Amber Eyes, an exceptional work that is at once an astonishing journey across countries and continents, an immersive examination of a great artist’s work, and a moving and intimate memoir.In 2012, facing the death of his father and impending fatherhood, Toby Ferris set off on a seemingly quixotic mission to track down and look at—in situ—every painting still in existence by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, the most influential and important artist of Northern Renaissance painting.The result of that pursuit is a remarkable journey through major European cities and across continents. As Ferris takes a keen analytical eye to the paintings, each piece brings new revelations about Bruegel’s art, and gives way to meditations on mortality, fatherhood, and life. Ferris conjures a whole world to which most of us have probably lost the key, and in the process teaches us how to look, patiently and curiously, at the world.Short Life in a Strange World is a dazzlingly original and assured debut—a strange and bewitching hybrid of art criticism, philosophical reflection, and poignant memoir. Beautifully illustrated with sixty-six color images, it subtly alters the way we see the world and ourselves.

The Challenge Built to Last, the defining management study of the nineties, showed how great companies triumph over time and how long-term sustained performance can be engineered into the DNA of an enterprise from the verybeginning. But what about the company that is not born with great DNAHow can good companies, mediocre companies, even bad companies achieve enduring greatnessThe Study For years, this question preyed on the mind of Jim Collins. Are there companies that defy gravity and convert long-term mediocrity or worse into long-term superiorityAnd if so, what are the universal distinguishing characteristics that cause a company to go from good to greatThe Standards Using tough benchmarks, Collins and his research team identified a set of elite companies that made the leap to great results and sustained those results for at least fifteen years. How greatAfter the leap, the good-to-great companies generated cumulative stock returns that beat the general stock market by an average of seven times in fifteen years, better than twice the results delivered by a composite index of the world's greatest companies, including Coca-Cola, Intel, General Electric, and Merck.The Comparisons The research team contrasted the good-to-great companies with a carefully selected set of comparison companies that failed to make the leap from good to great. What was differentWhy did one set of companies become truly great performers while the other set remained only goodOver five years, the team analyzed the histories of all twenty-eight companies in the study. After sifting through mountains of data and thousands of pages of interviews, Collins and his crew discovered the key determinants of greatness -- why some companies make the leap and others don't. The Findings The findings of the Good to Great study will surprise many readers and shed light on virtually every area of management strategy and practice. The findings include: Level 5 Leaders: The research team was shocked to discover the type of leadership required to achieve greatness. The Hedgehog Concept (Simplicity within the Three Circles): To go from good to great requires transcending the curse of competence. A Culture of Discipline: When you combine a culture of discipline with an ethic of entrepreneurship, you get the magical alchemy of great results. Technology Accelerators: Good-to-great companies think differently about the role of technology. The Flywheel and the Doom Loop: Those who launch radical change programs and wrenching restructurings will almost certainly fail to make the leap. Some of the key concepts discerned in the study, comments Jim Collins, "fly in the face of our modern business culture and will, quite frankly, upset some people.Perhaps, but who can afford to ignore these findings?

In this wide-ranging and thoughtful study, Michael Allen Gillespie explores the philosophical foundation, or ground, of the concept of history. Analyzing the historical conflict between human nature and freedom, he centers his discussion on Hegel and Heidegger but also draws on the pertinent thought of other philosophers whose contributions to the debate is crucial-particularly Rousseau, Kant, and Nietzsche.

The High-Performing Preschool takes readers into the lives of three- and four-year-old Head Start students during their first year of school and focuses on the centerpiece of their school day: story acting. In this activity, students act out stories from high-quality children's literature as well as stories dictated by their peers. Drawing on a unique pair of thinkers-Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky and renowned American teacher and educational writer Vivian G. Paley-Gillian Dowley McNamee elucidates the ways, and reasons, this activity is so successful. She shows how story acting offers a larger blueprint for curricula that helps ensure all preschools-not just those for society's well-to-do-are excellent.McNamee outlines how story acting cultivates children's oral and written language skills. She shows how it creates a crucial opportunity for teachers to guide children inside the interior logic and premises of an idea, and how it fosters the creation of a literary community. Starting with Vygotsky and Paley, McNamee paints a detailed portrait of high-quality preschool teaching, showing how educators can deliver on the promise of Head Start and provide a setting for all young children to become articulate, thoughtful, and literate learners. ?

Marseille, once notorious for its assorted mischief, has recently experienced a cultural renaissance, establishing it as a Mediterranean capital of film, fashion, music, literature, and, most assuredly, cuisine. From the city's beloved, world-famous bouillabaisse to enticing émigré flavors to venerable street treats to classic and contemporary Provencal bistro fare, this culinary crossroads, the Paris of Provence, offers an exciting array of tempting foods that, while global in scope, have a folksy, made-in-Marseille personality. Join Daniel Young, author of The Paris Café Cookbook, as he explores the authentic flavors of France's oldest city, its great southern gateway, extending from the Marseille of antiquity, found intact in the limestone cliffs of the rocky coastline, to the Marseille of romantic intrigue, still apparent in the labyrinthine passageways of the historic Panier quarter, to its storied center, the Vieux Port. Of course there's bouillabaisse: an entire chapter on this legendary fish stew-soup, including rustic, home-style Marseille recipes adapted so they can successfully be made with North American fish—not entirely authentic but wholeheartedly delicious. There are many other definitive fish recipes from this seafood lovers' paradise as well, including the legendary pan-fried calamari with parsley and garlic from Chez Etienne and the foolproof formula for grilling fish from the Restaurant L'Escale. In addition, there are aromatic appetizers, traditional and newfangled desserts, savory pastries, meat and chicken dishes, and hearty vegetable stews, all prepared with the building blocks of the healthful, French-Mediterranean diet: olive oil, garlic, tomatoes, zucchini, fennel, eggplant, artichokes, olives, basil, thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, almonds, figs, and honey.It's a full cookbook, offering 120 recipes and also a remarkable portrait of France's "Second City." With evocative black-and-white photographs by Marseille native Sébastien Boffredo, Made in Marseille is a lively panorama of the food, flavors, culture, and mystique of France's vital and fascinating cosmopolitan seaport.Some text and images that appeared in the print edition of this book are unavailable in the electronic edition due to rights reasons.

Designs on the Contemporary?pursues the challenge of how to design and put into practice strategies for inquiring into the intersections of philosophy and anthropology. Drawing on the conceptual repertoires of Max Weber, Michel Foucault, and John Dewey, among others, Paul Rabinow and Anthony Stavrianakis reflect on and experiment with how to give form to anthropological inquiry and its aftermath, with special attention to the ethical formation and ramifications of this mode of engagement. ?The authors continue their prior explorations of the contemporary in past works: How to conceptualize, test, and give form to breakdowns of truth and conduct, as well as how to open up possibilities for the remediation of such breakdowns. They offer a surprising and contrasting pair of case studies of two figures who engaged with contemporary breakdowns: Salman Rushdie and Gerhard Richter. Approaching Richter's artistic struggles with form and technique in the long wake of modernism and Rushdie's struggles to find a narrative form-as well as a form for living-to respond to the Iranian fatwa issued against him, they show how both men formulated different new approaches to anthropology for the twenty-first century.

Collecting a decade of work from iconic anthropologist and writer Michael Taussig, The Corn Wolf pinpoints a moment of intellectual development for the master stylist, exemplifying the "e;nervous system"e; approach to writing and truth that has characterized his trajectory. Pressured by the permanent state of emergency that imbues our times, this approach marries storytelling with theory, thickening spiraling analysis with ethnography and putting the study of so-called primitive societies back on the anthropological agenda as a way of better understanding the sacred in everyday life.The leading figure of these projects is the corn wolf, whom Wittgenstein used in his fierce polemic on Frazer's Golden Bough. For just as the corn wolf slips through the magic of language in fields of danger and disaster, so we are emboldened to take on the widespread culture of academic-or what he deems "e;agribusiness"e;-writing, which strips ethnography from its capacity to surprise and connect with other worlds, whether peasant farmers in Colombia, Palestinians in Israel, protestors in Zuccotti Park, or eccentric yet fundamental aspects of our condition such as animism, humming, or the acceleration of time. ?A glance at the chapter titles-such as "e;The Stories Things Tell"e; or "e;Iconoclasm Dictionary"e;-along with his zany drawings, testifies to the resonant sensibility of these works, which lope like the corn wolf through the boundaries of writing and understanding.?

《中国书法史·先秦·秦代卷》 本书以大量传世文物、考古资料中所见古文字为基础，叙述自殷商至秦代的书体演变过程——以象形为基调，从殷商甲骨文的古朴状态，经两周金文、六国古文，到秦代小篆的高度图案化；阐述这个过程中因时代、地域(各诸侯国)、用途不同，书法所体现的不同的艺术特及成就。作者认为，自殷商至秦代，书法以字形的装饰美、书体的规范美为主，这与当时文字以社会功能和教化功能为主、书体和美感尚不能提供足够的想象和创造空间有关。本书版本采用江苏教育出版社2002年版。 《中国书法史·清代卷》 本书从书学理论和创作流派两方面阐述清代书法的发展历程。清代书法在其发展演变过程中一直存在两种截然不同的倾向和风气——以张照、刘墉为代表的尊尚法帖墨迹的“帖学”，以赵之谦、吴大澂、吴昌硕为代表的推崇碑版刻石的“碑学”。在作者看来，清代书法的发展趋势是帖学逐渐衰落，碑学迅速崛起并取代帖学：清初为帖学昌盛阶段，到乾嘉时期发展到极盛，同时碑派初兴；道咸以后，帖学盛极而衰，碑派书法取代帖学；至清末民初，碑派一统天下。本书采用江苏教育出版社2002年版。 《中国书法史·元明卷》 本书分别叙述元代和明代的书法发展史。元代书法的一个重要特征是书法与文火画紧密结合，尤以赵孟頫为代表，他的书法遒丽秀逸、清新脱俗，启一代新风，成为元代书法主流。明代书法发展分为三个时期：前期为洪武至成化(1368-1487)，书风大体平庸无味，是为低潮期；中期为弘治至隆庆(1488-1572)，以文徵明、祝允明为代表的吴门书派影响巨大；晚期为万历以后(1573-1644)，书风发生了深刻变革，以徐渭、董其昌、王铎为代表。明代书法的特征一是书法家集中干苏州一带；二是前期和中期对书法的认识重形质过于重神采，个性解放思潮直到晚期才影响书法艺术；三是书法的装裱艺术有了空前的发展。本书版本采用江苏教育出版社2002年版。 《中国书法史·宋辽金卷》 本书集中阐述两宋书法风格的演变及对书法史的贡献，对辽金则着墨不多。作者认为，虽然北宋四家(苏轼、黄庭坚、米芾、蔡襄)创了注重抒发意趣和宣泄个人感情的“尚意”书风，影响深远；南宋四家(陆游、范成大、朱熹、张孝祥)也各具造诣，但总体而言，宋代书法艺术的成就远不能与唐代相比。对中国书法史而言，宋代的贡献主要在于系统的书学著作的问世、刻帖的盛行和流布、民间收藏的流行，以及著录书籍的应运而生，这些对后代书法艺术的发展有着非常重要的影响。本书版本采用江苏教育出版社2002年版。 《中国书法史·魏晋南北朝卷》 魏晋南北朝是中国书法艺术史上的一个转型期。这一时期，新体的草书、行书、楷书为土族所受，不仅成为他们私人间书写交流的主调，而且已经列官吏考核的书法系统；“书家”已成为社会性角色，受到人们的尊重；真正具有学术意义的书法理论著作也已经出现。本书从中国书法风格的转向的角度，系统阐述了魏晋南北朝的书体样式、技法手段、书法流派及历史影响等。本书版本采用江苏教育出版社2002年版。 《中国书法史·隋唐五代》 唐代书法是中国书法史上的一个高峰，书法盛行，名家辈出。本书以唐代为重，按时代序列分为隋、初唐、盛中唐、晚唐、五代五个阶段，从书体演变、书法与文化、名家风格与成就、书法理论、书法的域外传播等方面，阐述这一时期的书法艺术。作者认为，唐代帝王重视书法，君臣论书，有力地推动了书法艺术的发展：初唐，唐太宗推崇王羲之，注重骨力，以真、行为胜，以欧阳询、褚遂良为代表；盛中唐，唐玄宗推重隶书，宽博华丽，行、楷、篆、草都趋于厚重，以颜真卿为代表，晚唐，书法由厚硕趋向瘦劲，以柳公权为代表。本书版本采用江苏教育出版社2002年版。 《中国书法史·两汉卷》 两汉四百多年是我国书法史上的个高峰，是各种书体(篆隶行草)孕育、产生和演变的时期。两汉政府重视书法教育，书法与仕途挂钩，文字学与书法理论已经初步形成，纸墨笔砚已经得到初步发展。作者依据大量两汉简犊、碑碣、墓志、石阙、石经、画像题字等资料，从简牍、碑刻、书法家与书学、书法用具等方面，系统阐述两汉书法的发展史。本书版本采用江苏教育出版社2002年版。
