Artists of the Canyons and Caminos

Santa Fe: Early Twentieth Century

By: Edna Robertson,Sarah Nestor

Richly illustrated, Artists of the Canyons and Caminos traces the lives and work of painters who settled in Santa Fe in the early years of the twentieth century. Under their influence, Santa Fe grew from a dusty high-desert town with no paved streets or automobiles to a thriving community. Artists of the Canyons and Caminos features a new foreword by publisher Gibbs M. Smith, and reveals little-known facts and profiles of the personalities who catalyzed this transformation. Above all, it illuminates their common bond: an enduring love for the beauty of the land that called to them in the first place. Some places in the world have a particular atmosphere, a sense of romance, which makes them "good places to paint." Santa Fe, New Mexico-with its clean, sharp air; its startlingly bright colors; its sculptured mesas and mountains-is one of these places. Artists of the Canyons and Caminos includes: A brief chronology of Santa Fe from its inauguration as a state capital housing the oldest public building in the United States (Palace of the Governors); to the first annual exhibition of the Cinco Pintores in 1921, when of the town's population of 7,000, 15 were resident artists; to the opening of the Institute of American Indian Arts in 1962. Descriptions of the broad spectrum of representational styles that flourished there, from romance to super-realism. Major patrons of the arts: railroads, scientists, territorial senators, lawyers, well-to-do retirees. The artists' missions: admiration for the local Indians and their arts, encouragement of young artists of all nationalities, solidarity to prevent Santa Fe from being overly Americanized.

The Business of Decolonization

The Business of Decolonization

British Business Strategies in the Gold Coast

By: Sarah Stockwell

The Business of Decolonization serves to deepen our understanding of the end of the British empire, too often approached as if it was a process shaped and experienced exclusively by nationalist and imperial politicians and policy-makers. It explores British companies' experience of, and involvement in, developments leading to the transfer of power in Ghana, the former colony of the Gold Coast. The book demonstrates that businessmen developed strategies to cope with political change, reveals the extent of their involvement in nationalist politics, and highlights the contrasting responses of different companies to political and constitutional developments in the colony. Drawing on an extensive range of company, business association, personal, and official papers, the book focuses primarily on company activity. However, it also investigates relations between British firms and the colonial state on the eve of Ghanaian independence, and examines the place of British business interests in British policy.

The Devil's Piper

By: Sarah Rayne

Welcome to the chilling, hair-raising world of Sarah Rayne, the master of British contemporary gothic horror with this standalone modern horror novel – perfect for fans of eerie and skin-crawling reads with supernatural elements! “Rayne spins eerie yarns within yarns like a latter-day Isak Dinesen or Wilkie Collins” KIRKUS REVIEWS “Equal parts Daphne du Maurier, Josephine Tey and Ruth Rendell . . . Rayne possesses superb story-telling skills” US MYSTERY GUILD “Highly enjoyable mainstream horror fare from a genre veteran” BOOKLIST “Rayne writes with panache and imagination” KIRKUS REVIEWS “Rayne is a fine writer, a sure-handed plotter and skillful character builder” BOOKLIST “Colorful characters and a mastery of slow-burning suspense” KIRKUS REVIEWS “Rayne perfects the craft of deftly chosen details, simmering suspense and chilling surprises” KIRKUS REVIEWS _______________________ When musician Isarel West plays a seemingly harmless piece of music, he unknowingly unleashes a sinister force with horrifying consequences in this creepy contemporary gothic horror novel. On inheriting his father’s tumbledown Irish cottage, Isarel West, a university lecturer and musician, discovers some old sheet music composed by his late grandfather: a notorious and scandalous composer from the 1930s, nicknamed ‘Judas’ because of his allegiance to the Third Reich. Isarel starts to play the music entitled ‘The Devil’s Piper’, which some people believed his grandfather had based on the Black Chant – a sequence of music that legend says can call an ancient power from the grave. But little does he know the sinister force that the music conjures up – a force that brought misery and tragedy to others throughout centuries. Isarel sets out to trace the dark legend to its source. As he does so, the truth about the ancient music begins to unfold. For the legend is true! And now, in the present, the Black Chant has fallen into the hands of a group of people who will once again make evil use of it . . . Fans of LEIGH BARDUGO’s Alex Stern series, T. KINGFISHER’s Sworn Soldier series and SHIRLEY JACKSON’s The Haunting of Hill House will be equally as thrilled and spooked by Sarah Rayne’s The Devil’s Piper. READERS ARE HOOKED ON THE DEVIL’S PIPER: “A quality novel of supernatural power through the ages . . . blending well-fleshed characters and a strong story” Bradford Telegraph & Argus “Sinister, haunting, creepy . . . I loved that feel to it” Trav, 5* Amazon review “A brilliant book that I just couldn't put down . . .

The Five Talents That Really Matter

How Great Leaders Drive Extraordinary Performance

By: Barry Conchie,Sarah Dalton

A former Gallup Global Leadership Research and Development leader and the New York Times bestselling coauthor of Strengths-Based Leadership demystifies the aura and complexity surrounding high performing leaders through original research and interviews with high-performing global leaders. The leadership space is rife with myths, such as the belief that anyone can be a leader with enough effort or that a leader's strengths can be their greatest weaknesses. According to Barry Conchie and his business partner Sarah Dalton, these statements are complete BS. The Five Talents That Really Matter dispels the fluff in leadership literature, unveiling the traits and characteristics that truly determine high-performance leadership. This book serves as a guide, stripping away misconceptions and providing a template against which career-driven managers and leaders can assess and develop their capabilities. The five evidence-based talent dimensions are: Setting Direction: High-performing leaders guide their organizations through complex situations and articulate the value that so many employees find motivational and engaging. Building Energy: Driven by a burning work ethic, Talented leaders set an exacting example. They measure progress, and recognize that the most Talented employees beneath them demand their greatest attention and support. Exerting Pressure: Talented leaders assert a clear point of view and persuasively drive change and improvement, never settling for average outcomes. Increasing Connectivity: Outstanding leaders prioritize people, establishing effective followership through purposeful and ethical behavior, and demonstrating care and concern for those they lead. Controlling Traffic: High performing leaders understand their organizations, driving superior performance by establishing protocols and guardrails while showing agility and flexibility when circumstances change. Through meticulous research, assessment, and testing, Conchie and Dalton have built a database that predicts the talents and behaviors of the most successful leaders. In this book they present for the first the first time a scientific model that demystifies the aura and complexity surrounding high performing leaders.

The Early American Daguerreotype

Cross-Currents in Art and Technology

By: Sarah Kate Gillespie

The Early American Daguerreotype

Cross-Currents in Art and Technology

By: Sarah Kate Gillespie

The American daguerreotype as something completely new: a mechanical invention that produced an image, a hybrid of fine art and science and technology. The daguerreotype, invented in France, came to America in 1839. By 1851, this early photographic method had been improved by American daguerreotypists to such a degree that it was often referred to as “the American process.” The daguerreotype—now perhaps mostly associated with stiffly posed portraits of serious-visaged nineteenth-century personages—was an extremely detailed photographic image, produced though a complicated process involving a copper plate, light-sensitive chemicals, and mercury fumes. It was, as Sarah Kate Gillespie shows in this generously illustrated history, something wholly and remarkably new: a product of science and innovative technology that resulted in a visual object. It was a hybrid, with roots in both fine art and science, and it interacted in reciprocally formative ways with fine art, science, and technology. Gillespie maps the evolution of the daguerreotype, as medium and as profession, from its introduction to the ascendancy of the “American process,” tracing its relationship to other fields and the professionalization of those fields. She does so by recounting the activities of a series of American daguerreotypists, including fine artists, scientists, and mechanical tinkerers. She describes, for example, experiments undertaken by Samuel F. B. Morse as he made the transition from artist to inventor; how artists made use of the daguerreotype, both borrowing conventions from fine art and establishing new ones for a new medium; the use of the daguerreotype in various sciences, particularly astronomy; and technological innovators who drew on their work in the mechanical arts. By the 1860s, the daguerreotype had been supplanted by newer technologies. Its rise (and fall) represents an early instance of the ever-constant stream of emerging visual technologies.

Wearmouth & Jarrow

Northumbrian Monasteries in an Historic Landscape

By: Sam Turner,Sarah Semple,Alex Turner

Presenting the results of new research on the monasteries of Wearmouth and Jarrow—among the most sophisticated centers of learning and artistic culture in 17th- and 18th-century Europe, and the home of Bede—and their churches, this study examines the long-lasting effect of their buildings and estates on the surrounding region from the Anglo-Saxon period to the present day. The authors trace these relationships through time with new studies of the changing landscape, the monastery precincts, and the surviving structures themselves, detailing how the historical archaeology of the sites reveals how the churches and their communities were rooted in the landscapes of Northumbria but flourished through their links with other parts of Britain and Europe. Researchers from many different backgrounds contributed to the project, using aerial, geophysical, geoarchaeological, and palaeoenvironmental surveys and digital mapping to examine the monasteries and surrounding lands. This book reveals not only the link between the churches and the region’s political and economic history, but also demonstrates how their cultural significance for local people in northeast England has changed over time.
