Hardback. New. When black journalist Vincent “Roi” Ottley was assigned to cover the European theater in World War II, he provided a perspective shared by few other war correspondents. But what he really saw has taken more than sixty years to come to light. Already famous as the author of New World A-Coming—in which he decried the hypocrisy of America fighting for freedom in Europe while denying it to blacks at home—Ottley was sent to cover the experiences of African American soldiers that neither white journalists nor the American military felt obliged to report. But while his dispatches documented this assignment, his personal diary reveals a different war—one that included mess hall brawls between Southern white soldiers and their black counterparts, the British public’s ignorance toward their own black soldiers, and other subtle glimpses of wartime life that never made it into print. That journal remained buried in a collection of Ottley’s papers at St. Bonaventure University until Mark Huddle discovered it in the school’s archives. With this book, he offers us a new look at World War II as he brings a forgotten figure out of history’s shadow. While Ottley may have had an agenda in his published articles of proving the worth of black soldiers, his diary is rich in personal reflections—from his fears while enduring a bombing raid in London to his true feelings about fellow reporters to his encounters with celebrities such as Ernest Hemingway and Edward R. Murrow. And at every turn Ottley kept a keen eye on race issues, revealing a highly political as well as entertaining writer while reflecting a growing awareness that the African American freedom movement was part of a larger international struggle by peoples of color against Western imperialism. Huddle’s introduction frames Ottley’s career and contributions, and his annotations throughout the book provide additional context to the reporter’s experiences. Huddle also includes thirteen of Ottley’s published dispatches to demonstrate the differences between his personal musings and his professional output. The publication of this lost diary restores the reputation of a trailblazing figure, showing that Roi Ottley was both a brilliant writer and one of America’s keenest observers of race issues. It offers all readers interested in race relations or World War II a more nuanced picture of life during that conflict from a perspective rarely encountered., 6, Chicago: Chicago Tribune, 1916.

Jacopo Tintoretto (1518/19-1594) was among the most distinctive artists of the Italian Renaissance. Yet, although his bold paintings are immediately recognizable, his drawings remain unfamiliar even to many scholars. Drawing in Tintoretto's Venice offers a complete overview of Tintoretto as a draftsman. It begins with a look at drawings by Tintoretto's precedents and contemporaries, a discussion intended to illuminate Tintoretto's sources as well as his originality, and also to explore the historiographical and critical questions that have framed all previous discussion of Tintoretto's graphic work. Subsequent chapters explore Tintoretto's evolution as a draftsman and the role that drawings played in his artistic practice?both preparatory drawings for his paintings and the many studies after sculptures by Michelangelo and others?thus examining the use of drawings within the studio as well as teaching practices in the workshop. Later chapters focus on the changes to Tintoretto's style as he undertook ever larger commissions and accordingly began to manage a growing number of assistants, with special attention paid to Domenico Tintoretto, Palma Giovane, and other artists whose drawing style was influenced by their time working with the master.--WorldCat., The Morgan Library & Museum / Paul Holberton Publishing, 2018, 5, New York, NY: Rizzoli International Publications, 2014. 1st Edition . Hardcover. As New. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. Coverd with a Mylar cover. The renowned designer and style guru Ilse Crawford showcases her body of influential, holistic work for the first time, articulating her groundbreaking philosophies for design and living. Studioilse, the award-winning design studio founded by Ilse Crawford, bridges the worlds of interior design, architecture, and product design with the philosophy of putting the human being at the center. Fascinated by what drives us and makes us feel alive, Crawford says: When I look at making spaces, I don't just look at the visual. I'm much more interested in the sensory thing, in thinking about it from the human context, the primal perspective, the thing that touches you. Featuring Studioilse's work to date, from private residences to hotels, restaurants, and retail projects, this book illustrates the effectiveness of design grounded in human needs and desires. Layering materials and textures, combined with her understanding of human behavior, Crawford's designs are sensual and accessible. A forerunner of the holistic design movement a decade ago, her humanistic approach has now become the norm.This volume illustrates why Crawford's design philosophy is so seminal-her work has influenced not only a generation of Dutch and European designers, but also Americans due to her acclaimed Soho House New York. With new photography and essays by Crawford and design critic Edwin Heatcote, this inspirational volume is sure to be one of the most important design books of the year. ., Rizzoli International Publications, 2014, 5, Ashgate, 2014. 1st Edition .

There is an increasing concern about the stability of social cohesion and a growing number of particular groups of people who are regarded as being at risk of being socially excluded or marginalized. This volume goes beyond the surface of public discussions to look at the central role played by welfare services in European societies in either strengthening or hindering participatory citizenship and democracy. In current discussions welfare services - understood in a broad sense - are centrally positioned: there are high expectations that welfare services can hinder marginalization and enable participation. Yet marginalization is, in most cases, rooted in the deeper structures of society, with economy, participation and involvement dependent on political or highly personal factors, which are beyond the scope of welfare services. This groundbreaking volume posits that participation and marginalization are 'twin' concepts, expressing opposing sides of one and the same processes faced by individuals and communities. It will be essential reading for social workers, sociologists and policy-makers throughout Europe. -- Contents: - Introduction: - 1.

The book reconstructs Collins's intellectual development and public engagement through extensive archival research, examining both published writings and personal correspondence, especially with John Locke and Pierre Desmaizeaux. O'Higgins positions Collins as both a product of his time and a contributor to the emerging rationalist and secularist discourse that shaped eighteenth-century intellectual culture. Early chapters focus on his formative friendships, notably with Locke, John Shute Barrington, and Samuel Bold, and trace Collins's divergence from Locke's moderate empiricism toward a more assertive freethinking posture. The author explores the intellectual function of Collins's library, mapping it as a resource base that informed his writings and theological critique. Subsequent chapters provide detailed analyses of Collins's principal texts: An Essay on the Use of Reason, The Discourse of Freethinking, A Philosophical Inquiry Concerning Human Liberty, and his critiques of prophecy and ecclesiastical authority. The book contextualizes Collins's arguments against contemporary Anglican orthodoxy and their alignment with broader deist and rationalist tendencies. O'Higgins documents Collins's public disputes with Samuel Clarke and William King, focusing on themes such as immaterialism, determinism, and scriptural authority. Particular attention is paid to how Collins adapted Lockean epistemology to challenge traditional claims of theological certainty, especially in regard to prophecy, miracle, and messianic expectation. The book situates Collins within transnational intellectual networks, drawing on Desmaizeaux's role in transmitting Collins's works and ideas across the Channel. The reception of Collins on the Continent, including translations, paraphrases, and critical responses in Dutch and French journals, is traced to demonstrate his relevance to Enlightenment debates in both Protestant and Catholic contexts. The author further examines Collins's role as a magistrate and landowner in Essex, revealing the intersection of his freethinking principles with civic responsibility and local political culture. Thematic concerns of the volume include Collins's engagement with Enlightenment rationalism, his sustained critique of theological orthodoxy, the development of freethought in early 18th-century England, and the transnational circulation of his ideas. These are framed within broader debates on reason and revelation, religious toleration, free will, prophecy, and the authority of ecclesiastical institutions. Collins emerges as a figure deeply engaged with the question of how reason, conscience, and public discourse intersect in the shaping of belief and governance. The book underscores his role in articulating a laicized, non-confessional model of truth-seeking within the emerging secular order. By closely analyzing Collins's use of sources, from early Christian texts to recent European scholarship, the study illuminates the dialogical character of his thought. The work contributes to scholarship on early modern intellectual history, Enlightenment theology, and the genealogy of secularism, highlighting Collins's role in debates on toleration, free inquiry, and doctrinal authority., Martinus Nijhoff, 1970, 2.5<

It is an attempt to see him in his relationship, intellectual and literary, with the Europe of his day, to gauge his position in the development of Seventeenth and Eighteenth century thought, to examine the origins of his ideas and their effect and to place him in the social context of the England of the early Eighteenth century. The period in which he lived, coming at the beginning of the Enlightenment, was seminal for our own world and the man himself is of contemporary significance because of the similarity of his outlook, if not of his beliefs, to that of many today. He was at the centre of the major theological controversy of the Seventeen­ twenties and was one of the most contentious figures of his time." -- Contents: I. Early Friends and Influences II.
