FICTION CRIME & EMPIRE

Literature & Fiction

THOMPSON,JON

History & Criticism

University of Illinois Press

Reading fiction from high and low culture together, Fiction, Crime, and Empire skillfully sheds light on how crime fiction responded to the British and American experiences of empire, and how forms such as the detective novel, spy thrillers, and conspiracy fiction articulate powerful cultural responses to imperialism. Poe's Dupin stories, for example, are seen as embodying a highly critical vision of the social forces that were then transforming the United States into a modern, democratic industrialized nation; a century later, Le Carré employs the conventions of espionage fiction to critique the exhausted and morally compromised values of British imperialism. By exploring these works through the organizing figure of crime during and after the age of high imperialism, Thompson challenges and modifies commonplace definitions of modernism, postmodernism, and popular or mass culture.

The best introductory rug book I've seen. If you have any interest in Oriental rugs, you *need* this book. If you don't think you're interested, do yourself a favor &amp; check it out from the library. Would that more art books were like this....

Objective, data-driven feedback is the best way to increase motivation, improve decision-making, and create a sense of ownership among employees.
Imagine building a workplace where everyone from the CEO down is inspired to perform at their best. What if you, as a leader, could focus on your highest and best use, empowering (rather than micromanaging) employees while maintaining clear visibility into your business?
We're in the midst of a data revolution, and the most successful companies are using data to outpace their competitors. Top-down power structures are no longer the hallmark of successful companies. Industry leaders like HubSpot, Spiceworks, and Starbucks are embracing transparency.
Join today's leading companies with The Dashboard Effect, where visibility into performance metrics puts your strategies into action. As with athletes, when each employee can see the scoreboard, their shared mission becomes crystal clear. Let your data do the work of bringing everyone into the proverbial boardroom, giving your most valuable asset the visibility needed to make the right decisions and focus on the right priorities.
Most business data (as much as 99 percent) is left unused. This book shows you how use that data to "touch the right nerve" and dramatically improve your outcomes.
You already have the data. It's time to put it to work and transform your company.

Modern art, filled with complex themes and subtle characteristics, is a wonder to view, but can be intimidating for the casual observer to comprehend. In this accessible, practical guide, author and instructor Jon Thompson explores more than 200 works, helping readers to unlock each painting’s meaning. Beginning with the Barbizon school and the Realist movement of the mid-19th century and continuing through the 1980s avant-garde, artists including Bonnard, Basquiat, Van Gogh, Picasso, Degas, Warhol, and Whistler are featured. Thompson describes each artist’s use of media and symbolism and provides insightful biographical information. A natural companion to Abrams’ How to Read a Painting, this book is a vibrant, informative trip through one of art history’s most compelling periods.
