From a small horsecar building firm established in 1868, the J. G. Brill Company grew to be a world leader in a rapidly evolving and growing industry that at the time of the First World War was the fifth largest in the United States. Besides its successful line of trolleys and other electric cars, Brill built horsecars, cable cars, narrow-gauge and gas-propelled cars for railroads, and even buses and trolley buses. The Brill policy was to build whatever the customer wanted. With no job conside

Now you can do good and do well at the same time. Most of us would prefer to invest in companies that share the same values that we do--if only we could outpace the S&P 500 at the same time. Now that goal has become more than an ephemeral New Year’s resolution. In fact, investing that reflects investors’ values today is both possible and profitable. "Socially responsible investing," or SRI, once largely dismissed as a novelty for the politically correct, is now considered a smart and lucrative way for anyone to make money. In fact, The Domini 400, which is the main index of soc

This book deals with Eriugena’s anthropology in the general context of his thinking on universal nature. At the outset the role of man seems to be conditioned by nature’s dynamic development through the Neoplatonic stages of procession and return. As man is located at the turning- point between procession and return, he is not only governed by nature’s unfolding, but can also exercise control over it. Thus it is shown that man should be seen as much more independent than the cosmological structure of Eriugena’s philosophy of nature seems to indica

The Crisis of Courtesy examines the apparent decline of the courtesy-book in Britain after the 16th century and suggests that the matter of courtesy was disseminated into a broad range of literary genres such as poetry, the essay and the novel. The authors highlight the pervasive interest in conduct evinced in Georgian and Victorian literature. They show how it became an important source of inspiration for middle-class writers and artists who were eager to help their readers adapt to a changing society, but preferred to write in a humorous, satirical or imaginative vein

This book presents the "Tondo Doni" as a model of "Ephesians’" ’great sacrament’ of marriage for the new Florentine republic. Following fifteenth century theology, Michelangelo portrayed Mary as a humble wife dominated and possessed by a virile guardian Joseph, the couple united as if ’two in one flesh’. To compensate for their symbolic propinquity, he cast her as a paragon of virginity, a muscular mulier fortis. In order to keep this virago in her place, Michelangelo coupled the Virgin in spiritual union with Christ, maenad-Psyche to bacchic Eros, attempting to m
