"The text presents a unified view of Ellington as a 'special' human being; convinced even as a young boy that he would do great things in life, he labeled himself Duke and set about looking for the venue in which he would excel. He found it in jazz".--Booklist. Includes discography.

Equality in Managing Service Delivery

This text gives practical advice on how organizations delivering a service to the public can meet the needs of different groups of people. Using examples from the private, public and voluntary sectors, Rohan Collier explains how to develop and implement equalities policies which effect real change. She argues that to be successful, an organization must know and address the different needs and interests of its customers or clients; and the only way to fully understand the needs of a diverse public is to take account of equalities issues.

Proust and Venice

Proust's famous novel A la recherche du temps perdu (Remembrance of Things Past) is a fascinating exploration not only of memory and desire, of high society and everyday life, but also of art. The study focuses on Venice, one of the hero's central obsessions, and shows how a whole network of allusions to art (from Titian to Turner, from Ruskin to Emile Mâle, from Giotto to Bellini, from Byzantine mosaic to the dresses designed by Fortuny after paintings by Carpaccio) ties in with the hero's quest for self-knowledge and self-fulfilment. Peter Collier demonstrates how an understanding of the writer's artistic sources and reworkings can shed light both on Proust's complex prose style and on the aesthetic theory proposed by his novel. Most importantly, Venice and Italian art provide a new key to the central themes of the novel: memory and desire.
