William Blake (1757-1827), hailed as 'the glorious luminary' by
William Rossetti, is one of the great mystics in the history of
Western art. His hallucinatory paintings, watercolours and, in
particular, the illustrations he made for his books of poetry are
instantly recognisable, and have inspired generations of artists in
his wake. Although he was largely ignored by his contemporaries, or
de rided as mad, a number of perceptive critics and commentators
took great interest in both the man and his work. This volume
brings together some of the most illuminating writings by people
who knew Blake, and brings this astonishing visionary to life. They
include the frank appraisal by the hugely percep tive diarist Crabb
Robinson, never before published in full in English, and the first
full biography by Blake's friend and fellow artist John Thomas
Smith, as well as Alexander Gilchrist's Preliminary, whihc heralded
the arrival of Blake in the 19th Century.

Cats Work Like This is for cat lovers who know that even after ten
thousand years of living with cats, no one really has a clue what
their cat is thinking. In this insider's guide to the habits of
these puzzling animals, the authors offer insights from two
generations of watching their cats work. They share the sometimes
hilarious and often astonishing observations on cats that have
accumulated over ages, and offer some useful insights into how to
understand your own cat. Though there are many famous felines, it
is the day to day cat which provides the most enduring interest.
Though each one's behaviour and mannerisms are unique, we can find
enough practices in common to guide you to becoming an expert in
how cats work. Chapters include Habits, with an insight into how
cats train you to have the right ones; and The Scientific Cat, with
observations and empirical learning following the classic
scientific method, as cats don't listen well enough to be subjects
in any other kind of experimentation. Learn how cats practice their
values and explore what your cats know about you. Find out what
cats do while you sleep, what a cat's eyes can tell you and what
there is to understand about political and 'eco' cats. With a focus
on attention, emotion, cute affection, manipulation, cunning and
cussedness, Cats Work Like This gives a rare insight into the
workings of a cat's elusive mind.

Launched in an era when speed and grandeur went hand in hand, the
RMS Queen Mary is the last survivor of the golden age of ocean
liners. From the time of her maiden voyage in 1936, passengers
crossed the North Atlantic cocooned in luxury. Movie stars,
tycoons, politicians, and royalty shared a ship with everyday
people, for whom this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. During
World War II, the Queen Mary ferried countless soldiers safely
across the sea and, at war's end, carried their brides and babies
home to America. Refurbished and polished to her previous glory,
the Queen Mary continued to carry passengers until her final voyage
to Long Beach in 1967. The RMS Queen Mary now serves as a floating
hotel and tourist attraction, a living testament to her glamorous
history, a generous showcase of art, and a magnificent example of a
time when oceans could be crossed in both comfort and beauty.
Northeast India has witnessed several nationality movements during
the 20th century. The oldest and one of the most formidable has
been that of the Nagas - inhabiting the hill tracts between the
Brahmaputra river in India and the Chindwin river in Burma (now
Myanmar). Rallying behind the slogan, 'Nagaland for Christ', this
movement has been the site of an ambiguous relation between a
particular understanding of Christianity and nation-making. This
book, based on meticulous archival research, traces the making of
this relation and offers fresh perspectives on the workings of
religion in the formation of political and cultural identities
among the Nagas. It tracks the transmutations of Protestantism from
the United States to the hill tracts of Northeast India, and its
impact on the form and content of the nation that was imagined and
longed for by the Nagas. The volume also examines the role of
missionaries, local church leaders, and colonial and post-colonial
states in facilitating this process. Lucidly written and rigorous
in its analyses, this book will be of interest to scholars and
researchers of South Asian history, religion, political science,
sociology and social anthropology, and particularly those concerned
with Northeast India.

landscaped paradises. Within each placid scene and through

Grandpas make a lot of strange noises. There's
'schluuupglubshlurrrpglub', 'creak pop',
'hooonkkkkkkksnnoooortttttt', and of course 'eeeaswoscrreech!' But
what on earth do they all mean? Join Grandpa on his daily
adventures to learn why he makes all of his mysterious noises. From
thanking Grandma for a cup of tea to saying hello, Grandpa has his
own unique way of expressing himself. Children will love finding
out what each creak and pop means, and will be able to understand
their own grandparents even better! Of course, the noises coming
out of Grandpa's bottom will also provide hours of entertainment.
In Grandpa's Noises, a range of sounds and words coming from body
and mouth are explained through a warm, funny and colourful 'day in
the life' story. Children look at life with open, honest eyes but
sometimes it takes a bit of thinking and code-breaking to work out
what's really going on. Vibrant illustrations and lively lettering
combine to provide a 'Grandpa dictionary' so that readers, along
with Grandpa's cat and particularly in-the-know grandchild, can
discover just what his various exclamations mean. Afterall, once
you know that 'eeeawoscreech!' is actually the sound of a
misbehaving hearing aid, Grandpa becomes a lot less scary and even
more lovable!

Examine the essential aspects of modern labor economics from an
international perspective with Hyclak/Johnes/Thornton's highly
accessible FUNDAMENTALS OF LABOR ECONOMICS, 3E. This convenient,
digital edition provides a comprehensive survey of economic theory
and empirical evidence on purely competitive labor markets. These
acclaimed authors examine the impact of imperfect competition,
incomplete information and uncertainty, and institutional factors
-- stemming from government regulation, unions, social norms, and
human resource management policies -- on wages and employment
opportunities. The latest updates address important issues today,
such as wage and income inequality, labor market effects of
international migration, the impact of occupational licensing on
wages and employment, and labor aspects of the current "gig"
economy. First-hand labor economics research and results further
enhance your understanding of the world in which you will work and
manage employees.
Sean McAllister is engaging on a journey. The year is 1968, a time
in America that speaks for itself. From political assassination to

before arriving upon the back-to-land counterculture of the Great
Northwest, a young man gradually comes of age. Within the
background musical setting of an imaginative and progressive era,
McAllister lives and observes the hopes, ironies, and conflictions
of a generation that will never exist again.
