Drawing on the latest scholarship from the leading experts in the field and featuring over 400 images of works from major public and private collections, this landmark book looks at painted and printed erotic images produced in Japan during the Edo period (1600-1868) and early Meiji era (1868-1912).This title is only available through Hotei Publishing in the United States of America, Canada and the Philippines.

For many years, Bill Jorgensen and Lional Salem's Organic Chemist's Book ofOrbitals was the standard work on qualitative MO-theory in Erlangen. It provided the basic principles as weH as MO-plots of exactly the orbitals that we needed to understand the effects that we were investigating. How­ ever, 25 years after its publication, the Organic Chemist's Book of Orbitals is essentiaHy unknown to the current generation of chemistry students, although qualitative MO-theory has become a standard too1. This and the new technical possibilities made possible by the development of web browsers, VRML-viewers etc. suggested that the time is right to attempt a more modern version, this time called The Chemist's Electronic Book of Orbitals. The resulting "book" is a tribute to its predecessor and we hope that it will playa similar role as vanguard for a new generation of chem­ istry publications in this area. The written text can be read alone, but is intended to be used in conjunction with the demonstrations and VRML­ objects on the CD. The orbital plots can be rotated, displayed and printed as desired. We have designed The Chemist's Electronic Book of Orbitals to be accessed from a standard web-browser with VRML viewer and JAVA in order to avoid the need for extra software on the CD and to make it acces­ sible from as many hardware platforms as possible. Many people have contributed to the success of this project. We espe­ cially thank Peter Enders at Springer for unflagging support.

Landmark publication of a major new discovery of over 100 drawings by foremost Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. Acquired by the British Museum in 2020, these previously unpublished drawings had been forgotten for over 70 years.

This concise and practical guide explores the use of Conversation Analysis as a method for conducting research in a business and management Masters dissertation.

Management consultants are typically seen as key mediators in the flow of management ideas. And yet little is known about exactly what happens when they work together with clients, behind closed doors in consulting projects. Do they really innovate or simply legitimate existing knowledge? This book offers a 'fly on the wall' view.

Like their celebrity peers from the entertainment, sports, arts and political worlds, business celebrities exert an influence that is pervasive, but difficult to assess, evaluate and explain. This book explores how they are constructed and why they exist.

In this innovative study, Timothy Martin considers Derrida's reading of literature as a form of philosophical thinking, tracing this trend to the work of Heidegger and Blanchot.

Based on research into the public lectures of management gurus, this volume analyzes how such gurus disseminate their ideas, values and visions on the international management lecture circuit. This book is useful to students, academics and researchers in the fields of management, sociology, and communications.

The degrading environment of the planet is something that touches everyone. This 2011 book offers an introductory overview of literary and cultural criticism that concerns environmental crisis in some form. Both as a way of reading texts and as a theoretical approach to culture more generally, 'ecocriticism' is a varied and fast-changing set of practices which challenges inherited thinking and practice in the reading of literature and culture. This introduction defines what ecocriticism is, its methods, arguments and concepts, and will enable students to look at texts in a wholly new way. Boxed sections explain key critical terms and contemporary debates in the field with 'hands-on' examples and comparisons. Timothy Clark's thoughtful approach makes this an ideal first encounter with environmental readings of literature.

This book argues that Shelley was both ahead of and in tune with his time and ours.

"The Great Wave" is a colour woodblock print designed by Japanese artist Hokusai in around 1830. This book explores the meaning behind "Hokusai's Great Wave", in the context of "the Mount Fuji" series and Japanese art as a whole.

The life and gardening of one of Scotland's most original artists and gardeners, Mary McMurtrie, concentrating on how she created the garden at Balbithan.

In this polemical book Timothy Clark focuses on the ways in which Martin Heidegger, Jacques Derrida, Maurice Blanchot and Hans-Georg Gadamer distinguish the poetic from literature more generally.
