Politics play a central role in all organizations but to this point they have largely been seen as a negative force. David Butcher and Martin Clarke expose this as a misunderstanding and show how political behavior is entirely endemic to managerial activity and how understanding and managing it can have extremely powerful positive effects. They provide an approach to managing politics by balancing personal and organizational interests and show how the centrality of politics to organizational life make it the ideal place from which to change existing patterns of power and influence. Essential reading for directors and senior managers.

Lowestoft, 1550-1750: Development and Change in a Suffolk Coastal Town

Boydell Press

'A superbly researched study.... An excellent addition not only to the history of Suffolk but of early modern society and economy more generally.' Professor RICHARD SMITH, University of Cambridge. Lowestoft has grown from a small urban community to become Suffolk's second largest town; and this book provides a vivid picture of the town and its inhabitants during the early modern period. Making full use of surviving documentation, in particular the parish registers, it begins with an overview of Lowestoft's medieval history, then proceeds to investigate topographical development, demographic features, occupational structure, social geography, house-building and interior decor, wealth and inheritance, maritime pursuits, agriculture, local government, education and literacy, religious affiliation, and urban identity. Wherever possible, the town is set into a national and European context, and its maritime nature fully brought out.

<p>Book Description\nL'exposition "Othon Friesz. Le fauve baroque", organisée par les musées de Roubaix, de Céret et du Havre, montre "tout" Friesz. Première grande exposition rétrospective d'un maître de la peinture du XXᵉ siècle.\nFrom the Back Cover\nOthon Friesz est un artiste méconnu, bien qu'il ait été célèbre de son vivant. Sa réputation repose surtout sur sa participation au fauvisme, période qui ne constitue qu'une petite partie de son oeuvre. Friesz fait ses premiers essais fauves à Anvers, aux côtés de Braque, pendant l'été 1906. L'année suivante, il s'inspire de la côte méditerranéenne où il peint une série de paysages qui sont sans doute les plus lyriques du fauvisme. Dès l'automne 1907, après l'arabesque dans le dessin et l'ivresse de la couleur, Friesz adopte la rigueur de la forme sous l'influence de Cézanne. Les compositions à figures de cette période puisent leur force dans la grandeur des thèmes et l'expressivité des lignes. En plus des expositions individuelles chez son marchand Druet et de sa participation régulière au Salon des Indépendants et au Salon d'autome à Paris, Friesz est exposé à Moscou, à Londres et à New York à l'Armory Show. À l'issue de la guerre, Friesz s'inscrit dans le courant du retour à l'ordre avec d'indéniables réussites jusqu'aux dernières années de sa vie. L'exposition "Othon Friesz. Le fauve baroque", organisée par les musées de Roubaix, de Céret et du Havre, montre "tout" Friesz. Outre l'accomplissement du jeune peintre marqué par l'impressionnisme et sa contribution unique au fauvisme, on découvre l'originalité des tableaux réalisés juste avant la Première Guerre. La période de maturité est elle aussi bien représentée, parachevant ainsi la première grande exposition rétrospective d'un maître de la peinture du XXᵉ siècle.</p>

Othon Friesz: Le fauve baroque (1879-1949)

Gallimard]

Covering Feininger’s career from 1907 to 1949, this catalogue highlights the graphic works of the artist, and particularly the woodblock prints produced during his Bauhaus period from 1918 to 1922. The exhibition held at the MuMa in Le Havre, France, is the first monographic presentation of Feininger’s work in France, and has been made possible thanks to the generosity of one passionate collector.   The touching and poetic works reveal Feininger as a politically engaged artist, whose convictions led to his involvement with the Bauhaus as Walter Gropius’ first faculty appointment in 1919. This catalogue offers a study of the unique and coherent work of this modern master who bridged the gap between Europe and North America.
