Being an Artist

By: Lewis Barrett Lehrman

Is living the artist's life a dream for you? Have you asked yourself what it would take for you to be a full-time artist? This book answers that question for you by sharing the career stories of twenty well-known artists who are making a living from doing what they love best - painting. These artists offer their personal stories - each one different, yet the same in many ways. They illustrate that it matters little what style of art you do, or what medium you choose to use, but instead that you continually ask yourself, "What's really important to me?...What exactly do I want to say?... What do I need to say through my art?" And then let the answers to those questions lead you where they may." "These uniquely personal journeys will not only inspire you, they'll give you usable information about making art a practical, viable career. These artists share the questions they have asked themselves, the problems they've faced and overcome, and the experiences that have put them in the process of continually becoming the most fulfilled artists they can be - all to help you do the same with your artistic career."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Churchill, Roosevelt & Company

Studies in Character and Statecraft

By: Lewis E. Lehrman

During World War II the “special relationship” between the United States and Great Britain cemented the alliance that won the war. But the ultimate victory of that partnership has obscured many of the conflicts behind Franklin Roosevelt’s grins and Winston Churchill’s victory signs, the clashes of principles and especially personalities between and within the two nations. Synthesizing an impressive variety of sources from memoirs and letters to histories and biographies, Lewis Lehrman explains how the Anglo-American alliance worked--and occasionally did not work--by presenting portraits and case studies of the men who worked the back channels and back rooms, the secretaries and under secretaries, ambassadors and ministers, responsible for carrying out Roosevelt’s and Churchill’s agendas while also pursuing their own and thwarting others’. This was the domain of Joseph Kennedy, American ambassador to England often at odds with his boss; spymasters William Donovan and William Stephenson; Secretary of State Cordell Hull, whom FDR frequently bypassed in favor of Under Secretary Sumner Welles; British ambassadors Lord Lothian and Lord Halifax; and, above them all, Roosevelt and Churchill, who had the difficult task, not always well performed, of managing their subordinates and who frequently chose to conduct foreign policy directly between themselves. Scrupulous in its research and fair in its judgments, Lehrman’s book reveals the personal diplomacy at the core of the Anglo-American alliance.

The Development of Children’s Thinking

Its Social and Communicative Foundations

By: Jeremy Carpendale,Charlie Lewis,Ulrich Muller

The Development of Children’s Thinking offers undergraduate and graduate students in psychology and other disciplines an introduction to several core areas of developmental psychology. It examines recent empirical research within the context of longstanding theoretical debates. In particular, it shows how a grasp of classic theories within developmental psychology is vital for a grasp of new areas of research such as cognitive neuroscience that have impacted on our understanding of how children develop. The focus of this book will be on infancy and childhood, and it looks at: Theories and context of development How developmental psychology attempts to reconcile influences of nature and nurture Communication in infancy as a precursor to later thinking Language development in primates and young children Cognitive and social development, including the child’s understanding of the mind How studies of moral reasoning reflect upon our understanding of development
