Isa Genzken: Der Spiegel 1989-1991
Isa Genzken Manufacturer: Walther Konig ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 3883756458 Release Date: 2003-08-02 |
Book Description
Isa Genzken's Der Spiegel 1989-1991 is a limited edition artist's book of deceptive simplicity: it consists of 121 reproductions of black-and-white photographs cut out of the influential German newsweekly Der Spiegel over a period of three years. The images are presented starkly, bereft of photo credits or captions: having been freed from their usual meaning-giving context, the images assume a mystery and free-floating universality as the viewer unconsciously struggles to recall the specificity of the sensational news story and headline to which they were once attached. The book is produced in a limited edition of 700 numbered copies.

Birth of a Successful Joint Venture
William H. Newman Manufacturer: University Press of America ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0819187240 |
Book Description
Most Foreign Joint Ventures, especially those in developing economies, go through a series of crises before any positive results are seen, or the ventures are abandoned. This book describes an exception to this rule in great detail. The Nantong Cellulose Fibers Company, established in China in 1987, exceeded its rated capacity in its first year of operation; is currently being expanded 150%; the quality of its products meets world-class standards; and costs are within budget. This book describes the practices that led to the successful formation of this company, and can be applied to any joint venture in a developing economy. Co-published with the Center for Chinese Business Studies.

A Gallant Company: The True Story of the Man of "The Great Escape"
Jonathan F. Vance Manufacturer: I Books ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0743475259 |
Book Description
A Gallant Company goes beyond the bestselling Great Escape by Paul Brickhill and tells the only full and complete account of the dramatic escape of Allied airmen from Stalag Luft III in World War II that was the basis for the hit movie The Great Escape starring Steve McQueen.
On the night of March 24-25, 1944, seventy-nine Allied airmen clambered through a tunnel at Stalag Luft III in eastern Germany in the final act of what history and Hollywood have dubbed "The Great Escape." Built around a cast of colorful and engaging characters from every corner of the world, it describes their ongoing struggle to outwit their captors. It is a tale of ingenuity, perseverance, courage, and is a testament to what ordinary men can achieve under extraordinary circumstances.

A Gallant Company: The Men of the Great Escape must be regarded as a companion book to Paul Brickhill's The Great Escape.
A great story, told well........2001-01-20
Another excellent addition to the genre.......2001-01-03
If, like myself, you have read and loved Paul Brickhill's "The Great Escape", but found yourself wanting more and deeper information, this book is a goldmine.
During the prelude and epilog sections of the Brickhill book, the reader is teased with brief glimpses of people, places and events which are relevent to the main story, but which are (necessarily) not examined in detail. Some examples include the many early escape attempts by some of the Great Escape principals, the other prison camps in the Luftwaffe system, and the stories of most of the actual escapers themselves.
"A Gallant Company" addresses all these issues. The reader gets to know each and every remarkable man who went through that tunnel, what circumstances brought them into the war, what role they played in the escape organization, and their fate following the escape. Individually and collectively, their story is an extraordinary one. Jonathan Vance's telling of it is engrossing and highly readable.
This is not a book for the reader who is unfamiliar with the basic story, however. I would strongly recommend a read through the Brickhill book first -- a rewarding experience in itself. (Note: please, don't assume that the movie version is enough to cover this ground! A *fine* film, but a highly fictionalized adaptation!).
Taken together with "The Great Escape" and Arthur Durand's excellent "Stalag Luft III - The Secret Story", Jonathan Vance's "A Gallant Company" provides as complete a picture as any escape story fan could possibly want.
A minor quibble - I couldn't locate a source or citations section in this book. Where did Vance's wealth of information come from? I assume from personal interviews with camp survivors and family members, and many of the same sources named in the Durand book.

The British and their Laws in the Eighteenth Century
Manufacturer: Boydell Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 1843831589 |
Product Description
What did the rule of law mean to eighteenth-century people, and how did it connect with changing experiences of law in all their bewildering complexity? Given the powerful claims for their importance in the governance of Georgian society, it is appropriate that over the last quarter century social and legal historians have engaged productively with law and legal institutions. But despite widespread agreement about Law's significance as a key to unlock so much which was central to contemporary life, taken as a whole this work offers a fragmented picture of the Laws in their social meanings and actions. The British and their Laws in the Eighteenth Century contributes fresh analyses of law in England and British settler colonies, c. 1680-1830. The authors consider broadly the issues of participation, central-local relations, and the maintenance of common law traditions in the context of increasing legislative interventions and grants of statutory administrative powers. David Lemmings suggests that viewed from these perspectives, popular relations with law were transformed. Legislation expanded the province of administrative authority out of all proportion, while the reach of the common law and its communal traditions of governance diminished, at least outside British North America. Here, perhaps, were the outlines of a legal regime appropriate for an imperial state.
