Europe

The Enlightening History of a Continent

By: Jean Baptiste Duroselle

Whether as an epic battleground or a cradle of civilizations, Europe has left an enduring imprint on the history of the world for over two millennia. From megalithic civilizations through ancient times, the Renaissance, the Industrial Revolution, the rise of nationalism, two world wars and the years that followed, this book looks beyond a series of distinct national histories to offer the history of Europe as an often shared experience across one continent. This book delves into events such as the fall of the Berlin Wall, traces the continents evolution from the collapse of Communism through the Iraq War, global financial crisis, Brexit and Russia's invasion of Ukraine. And then looking forward, it explores what would be necessary for the continent to remain a global power-player for years to come.

Jean-Antoine Houdon

Sculptor of the Enlightenment

By: Anne L. Poulet,Jean Antoine Houdon

Jean-Antoine Houdon (1741-1826) has long been recognized as the greatest European portrait sculptor of the late eighteenth century, flourishing during both the American and French Revolutions as well as during the Directoire and Empire in France. Whether sculpting a head of state, an intellectual, or a young child, Houdon had an uncanny ability to capture the essence of his subject with a characteristic pose or expression. Yet until now, Houdon's exquisite sculptures have never been the subject of a major exhibition. This lavish exhibition catalogue will immediately take its rightful place as the definitive work on Houdon. With more than one hundred color plates and two hundred black and white halftones, Jean-Antoine Houdon: Sculptor of the Enlightenment illustrates every stage of the sculptor's fascinating career, from his early portrayals of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette to his stunning portraits of American patriots such as George Washington, the Marquis de Lafayette, John Paul Jones, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson. Indeed the images we hold dear of legendary Enlightenment figures like Diderot, Rousseau, d'Alembert, and Voltaire are based on works by Houdon. More than mere representations, these sculptures provide us fascinating, intimate glimpses into the very core of who these figures were. Houdon's genius animated even his less illustrious subjects, like his portraits of his family and friends, and filled his sculptures of children with delicacy and freshness. Accompanying the images of Houdon's masterworks are four insightful essays that discuss Houdon's views on art (based in part on a newly discovered manuscript written by the artist) as well as his prominence in the highly varied cultures of eighteenth-century France, Germany, and Russia. From aristocrats to revolutionaries, actors to philosophers, Houdon's amazingly vivid portraits constitute the visual record of the Enlightenment and capture the true spirit of a remarkable age. Jean-Antoine Houdon finally gives these gorgeous works their due.

The Environment in Corporate Management

New Directions and Economic Insights

By: Jean-Baptiste Lesourd,Steven Schilizzi

What is needed . . . is a cool, detached look at environmental and social responsibility in the context of the firm . . . and which utilises the formidable insights that come from the dramatic developments in economics in the last few decades. This is why I welcome Jean-Baptiste Lesourd and Steven Schilizzi's book. It takes the viewpoint of the firm and brings it to bear on the various issues and the general findings of the theories of industrial organisation and microeconomics. This volume is not littered with maths and formal proofs, rather the intuition and results from that thinking have been turned into practical observation and recommendation.' - from the foreword by David Pearce, University College London, UK This book asks an important question of how management of the environment may benefit firms. the authors take an objective, neutral perspective on the extent to which environmental issues should, or should not, be addressed within the management of business corporations. the Environment in Corporate Management includes an up-to-date treatment of business practices, norms and standards, using the tools of microeconomic and industrial organisation analysis to provide an ordered and consistent picture. the analysis is couched within stakeholder theory, which determines how costs and benefits are defined for the firm. Utilising the most recent information the book also focuses on the underlying long-term trends. Actual examples and case studies illustrate the discussions. the authors conclude by highlighting the inevitable need to link environment and finance, for better stakeholder relationships and business performance.

Consuption and Branding Value Networks in New Media Markets

By: Zvezdan Vukanovic,Jean Baptiste Lesourd,Steven Wildman

This volume features contributions from WMEMC 2012, an international media conference held in Thessaloniki, Greece. It examines in both descriptive and analytical ways, how new media market consumption is evolving as a subdiscipline of media business. New media is an extension of traditional media industries, yet it is distinctly different in its nature and ability to build relationships among users. New media consumption patterns have transformed media—they have shattered the very idea of a linear and static medium. What electricity and combustion engine were to the early 20th century, software is to the early 21st century. New case studies and company profiles in this monograph provide practical examples of how media industry and market have successfully implemented these strategies, using the newest social media consumption and branding tools.
