The rich history of blue paper, from the late fifteenth to the
mid-eighteenth centuries, illuminates themes of transcultural
interchange, international trade, and global reach. Through the
examinations of significant works, this volume investigates
considerations of supply, use, economics, and innovative creative
practice. How did the materials necessary for the production of
blue paper reach artistic centers? How were these materials
produced and used in various regions? Why did they appeal to
artists, and how did they impact artistic practice and come to be
associated with regional artistic identities? How did commercial,
political, and cultural relations, and the mobility of artists,
enable the dispersion of these materials and related techniques?
Bringing together the work of the worldâs leading specialists,
this striking publication is destined to become essential reading
on the history, materials, and techniques of drawings executed on
blue paper.
Originally published in 1987, Sociology and Social Welfare looks at
the relationship between state and welfare in the context of a
wider sociological analysis of state and society in post-war
Britain. The book looks at two main concerns, the first suggests
the ways in which the theory and practice of welfare might be made
more reflective and self-conscious if located in sociological
understandings of state, society, and welfare. The second suggests
that the sociological study of social work and other welfare
activities might lead to the development of a more sensitive and
practice-informed sociology.

Francis, an informa company.
Considers a range of approaches to social policy provision and

Internationally renowned and a crucial classroom text, The Arts of
China has been revised and expanded by the late Michael Sullivan,
with Shelagh Vainker. This new, sixth, edition has an emphasis on
Chinese art history, not as an assemblage of related topics, but as
a continuous story. With updated attributions and dating throughout
and a revised bibliography, it reflects the latest archaeological
discoveries, as well as giving increased attention to modern and
contemporary art and to calligraphy throughout China's history,
with additional discussions of work by women artists. Visual
enhancements include all new maps, and approximately one hundred
new color illustrations-bringing the total to well over four
hundred color illustrations. Written in the engaging and lucid
style that is Sullivan's hallmark, The Arts of China is readily
accessible to general readers as well as to serious students of art
history. Sullivan's approach remains true to the way the Chinese
themselves view art, providing readers with a sense of the sweep of
history through China's dynasties. This organizational strategy
makes it easy for readers to understand the distinct
characteristics of each period of art and to gain a clearer view of
how Chinese art has changed in relation to its historical context.
With many improvements that bring it fully up to date, The Arts of
China will remain the most comprehensive and widely read
introduction to the history of Chinese art.
Written by one of the world's leading paleographers, this book
poses two fundamental questions: When did human beings begin--and
why have they continued--to decide that a certain number of their
dead had a right to a "written death"? What differences have
existed in the practice of writing death from age to age and
culture to culture? Drawing principally on testimonials intended
for public display, such as monuments, tombstones, and grave
markings, as well as on scrolls, books, manuscripts, newspapers,
and posters, the author reconstructs the ways Western cultures have
used writing to commemorate the dead, from the tombs of ancient
Egypt to the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, D.C.
The author argues that the relation between funereal remains and
inscription is a profoundly political one. The recurring
question--Who merits a written death?--demands a multifaceted
reply, one that intersects such "modes" of human cultural history
as the relation between the living and the dead, the control of
territory, the formation and maintenance of power, the preservation
of wealth, the right to individuality, and the symbolic and
signifying value of written culture.
Apart from examining funerary writing in the light of this
analytical model, the author also studies the quality of
commemorative writing, the length and physical arrangement of the
text, and its link to any representational elements, such as a
likeness of the deceased, the techniques involved in executing the
testimonial, the number of people who participate in creating it,
and its outward appearance. Under the author's careful and informed
scrutiny, such developments as unidirectional script, the
separation of writing into horizontal lines, and the even spacing
of individual letters are revealed as indices of social and
technological change.

Until the 1900s colonial and indigenous governments of Southeast
Asia farmed out the right to run opium, gambling and other
monopolies. Yet by about 1920 all of the major farms had been
abolished and the collection of revenue brought under direct
bureaucratic control. This book tries to explain the rise and
sudden fall of revenue farming to trace the changing fortunes of
the Chinese businessmen who held the major farms and to use the
study of revenue farming to examine the emergence of the modern
state in Southeast Asia and the great economic changes of this
period.

Working with clay, paint, crayons, or pencils, artists have long
known that the act of creating art can help people explore the
deepest recesses of their hearts - and bring about real change in
their lives. Michael Sullivan discovered the power of art for
himself in the midst of grieving the loss of a young parishioner.
Ever since, he has been using simple art projects as a form of
prayer and a way of helping others explore what God may be saying
to them. "Windows into the Soul" is a practical, hands-on resource
for those who want to explore this means of prayer and
contemplation for themselves, approaching the process not as an
artist but as a spiritual seeker. Readers will find projects in
various media, including clay, charcoal, and acrylic, including not
only technical directions, but a gentle guide to the spiritual gold
to be mined from the experience.
Building on the interest generated by Sullivan s previous art and
spirituality title, Windows into the Soul, this book focuses on the
journey from darkness to light inherent in Lent. By using an easily
accessible liturgical format, the book provides a pathway for those
who walk from Ash Wednesday to the empty tomb of Easter. Organized
around holy days and Sundays in Lent, chapters begin with a prayer
or poetic excerpt, followed by scripture for the day or week. A
narrative then expands on the themes introduced by the prayer and
scripture. Exercises following the narratives are simple mostly
collage exercises using differing techniques and are accessible to
a wide audience. Soul Questions, popular with readers, guide the
spiritual exercise following the narrative, and Thoughts for the
Journey, also popular with Windows readers, complete each chapter
with suggestions for further reflection.
