Turning away from the reality of nineteenth-century technology he depicted instead the images of his imagination, and found in the legends and fables of the past and in the works of the Romantic poets matter more congenial to the painter's brush than the everyday world in which he was forced to live. In paintings, tapestries and stained glass Burne-Jones evoked a languid beauty and a dreamy nostalgia for a lost Golden Age of damozels and knights-errant, the heroes and heroines of romance. Thus his work has been identified firstly with Pre-Raphaelitism and then with Aestheticism and Symbolism. The last two movements had in common a tendency to reject materialism and the portrayal of naturalistic scenes in favour of the imagery of the mind, and all shared a strong literary interest especially in poetry and myth. Burne-Jones made an important contribution in both style and subject-matter to all three but remained a distinct and idiosyncratic artistic character who evades categorisation and whose artistic roots lie in his own personal brand of aestheticism., Academy Editions Ltd (a division of John Wiley & Sons Ltd.), 1979-06-01, 3, New York ; London : Monthly Review Press, New York ; London : Monthly Review Press, 1973.

Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. A crisp clean first edition, not an ex-lib, no markings throughout: A bold manifesto by two business leaders, A Billion Bootstraps shows why mi crocredit is the world's most powerful poverty-fighting movement-and an unb eatable investment for your charitable donations. A Billion Bootstraps unearths the roots of the microcredit revolution, reve aling how the pioneering work of people such as Dr. Muhammad Yunus-winner o f the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize-is giving hope to billions. Philanthropist and self-made millionaire Phil Smith and microcredit expert and consultant Eri c Thurman provide a riveting narrative that explores how these small loans, arranged by "barefoot bankers," enable impoverished people to start small businesses, support their families, and improve local economies. By paying back their loans instead of simply accepting handouts, men and women around the world are continually giving others the same opportunity to change the ir futures. Smith and Thurman also examine why traditional charity programs, while prov iding short-term relief, often perpetuate the problems they are trying to a lleviate, and how applying investment principles to philanthropy is the key to reversing poverty permanently. A Billion Bootstraps explains how ordinary people can accelerate the microcredit movement by investing charitable donations in specific programs and then leveraging those contributions so the net cost to lift one person out of poverty is remarkably low. You'll discover how to get more for your money by donating with the mind-set of an investor and calculating measurable returns-returns that will change lives and societies foreve., Mcgraw-Hill, 2007, 4, Chapel Hill, North Carolina: University of North Carolina Press, 2008.

Ron Formisano seeks to rescue populist movements from the distortions of contemporary opponents as well as the misunderstandings of later historians.From the Anti-Federalists to the Know-Nothings, Formisano traces the movements chronologically, contextualizing them and demonstrating the progression of ideas and movements. Although American populist movements have typically been categorized as either progressive or reactionary, left-leaning or right-leaning, Formisano argues that most populist movements exhibit liberal and illiberal tendencies simultaneously. Gendered notions of "manhood" are an enduring feature, yet women have been intimately involved in nearly every populist insurgency. By considering these movements together, Formisano identifies commonalities that belie the pattern of historical polarization and bring populist movements from the margins to the core of American history., University of North Carolina Press, 2008, 4, New York: Warner Paperback Library, 1973.

FROM THE PUBLISHER - Here, for the first time, Stern offers a definitive history and comprehensive exploration of the American militia movement. He demonstrates that this paramilitary movement has deep and barbarous roots. Exposing the movement's political ancestors - the Klan, the Minutemen, the American Nazi Party, Christian Identity, the Posse Comitatus, and The Order - Stern shows how these right-wing extremists connect to today's domestic terrorists. A Force upon the Plain explains how this country has gotten to a point where thousands of well-armed men and women have become so certain that their country is under siege and their leaders cannot be trusted that they believe the only possible defense lies with them and their guns. It uncovers the ways in which these men and women have used newsletters, the Internet, short-wave radio and political campaigns to spread their message of hate across the country and even into the halls of Congress. Militia members have shot police officers, threatened government workers, been arrested in armed confrontations, calmly explained how it might be necessary to kill government officials, and still feel comfortable enough to run newspaper ads for their meetings and lobby their legislators. inventory #9091 ISBN: 0684819163., 0, New York: Warner, 1973. 10/73 1st .
