In this book Arnold Berleant develops a bold alternative to the eighteenth-century aesthetic of disinterestedness. Centering on the notion of participatory engagement in the appreciation of art, he explores its appearance in art and in aesthetic perception, especially during the past century.

The branding landscape is dominated by the marketers, the promise makers the people who commission the neon lights and the funky adverts.  In our consumer society brands have become an obsession.  But an often forgotten fact is that the people who make or break brands are the employees, the promise guardians.   Traditionally employee and customer communication has been very similar (“we show them the adverts!”). There’s very strong evidence to suggest that staff (who are also educated consumers) are starting to reject PR and spin-style communication within organisations.  But still

With wounded soldiers all around her, Major Logan Sharp doesn’t have time to pamper some photographer from stateside. What spare energy she does have goes to worrying what she’ll do when she ships home from Afghanistan. Home--for Logan, the word means nothing. But photographer Jillian Knight is not what she expects, and certainly not what she needs complicating her last tour. Leaving her partner and daughter at home, Jillian Knight is on assignment in Kandahar to record the heroic work of medical units in war zones. She knows it’ll be rough, but Logan Sharp’s dedicatio

The Rules of Engagement By Cindy Trimm Many people lack the confident to make a stand against the powers of Satan. The Rules of Engagement contains bold, in-your-face principles for strategic prayer and spiritual warfare and makes getting in the devil’s face and defeating his strategies a possibility for everyone. It includes declarations for engaging the enemy armed with God’s power and authority to defeat him and emerge a conqueror. It helps the reader to recognize the principalities and subordinate spirits that operate in the kingdom of darkness, and it shows the reader how t
