JMVINTAGE specializes in the Duke & Duchess of Windsor books, magazines and other curious subjects. The jacket reads: "What has come to be known as the French country look is really the style of Provence-the sun-drenched region in the south of France centering on Arles, Avignon, and Aix-en-Provence. It is a land of cool stone chateaux, farmhouses painted in ochres and dusty roses, country roads bordered by rows of graceful cypress trees, fields of lavender, trellised grapevines, red tile roofs, ancient hilltop cities such as Les Baux, and the vivid blue of the Mediterranean along the Cote d' Azur. The clarity of the light and the intoxicating sensuality of the landscape inspired Cezanne and Van Gogh. In over 450 full-color photographs, Pierre Deux's French Country explores all the rich ingredients of Provencal style. There are chapters on colors, fabrics, pottery; furniture, decorative elements, houses, gardens, and French country adaptations in the United States. A ten-page directory offers U.S. and French sources for regional antiques and contemporary products. From the brightly patterned paisley cottons of Souleiado in Tarascon to the hand-blown glass of Biot and the hand-molded faience platters of Moustiers, from the massive 18th- century armoires and rush-seated banquettes and chairs to bread boxes, saltboxes, and chests with intricately carved floral motifs, the craftsmanship of the region imparts a special luster, a vibrancy and warmth of color and texture that survive in the works of today: Whether presenting a charmingly rustic ranch deep in the horse country of the Camargue, a Renaissance mas in the foothills of the Alps, or a wine-producer's estate near Saint-Remy; this book paints a vivid portrait of a land of grace and simplicity that is at once exuberantly beautiful, seductive, effortless, and sophisticated. From an elegant wine-producer's estate near Saint-Remy to the ruggedly beautiful ranch deep in the Camargue to a Renaissance mas in the foothills of the Alps, Pierre Deux's French Country offers a guided tour of the splendors of Provence. Here is a vivid evocation of the Provencal landscape, houses, crafts, and style of living." Contents: French country colors; French country fabrics; Provencal pottery; Furniture of Provence; Elements an accents; Living in Provence; Provencal Gardens; French country adaptations; illustrated directory of US and Frenc sources for antiques, fabrics, faience, glassware, tiles, and many other elements of French country style.

Charles G. Denlinger Illustrator: NA: Elements of Real Analysis, Jones & Bartlett India Private Limited/Viva Books 2011 ISBN: 9789380853154

New Softcover NA Elementary Real Analysis is a core course in nearly all college and university mathematics departments. It enables students to develop a deep understanding of the key concepts of calculus from a mature perspective. Elements of Real Analysis is a student-friendly guide to learning all the important ideas of elementary real analysis, based on the authoraEUR s many years of experience teaching the subject to typical undergraduates. It avoids the compact style of professional mathematics writing, in favor of a style that feels more comfortable to students encountering the subject for the first time. It presents topics in ways that are most easily understood, without sacrificing rigor or coverage. Important concepts are discussed in greater detail than customary in a text at this level. Using this text, students discover that real analysis is completely deducible from the axioms of the real number system. They learn the powerful techniques of limits of sequences as the primary entry to the concepts of analysis, and see the ubiquitous role sequences play in virtually all later topics. They become comfortable with topological ideas, and see how these concepts help unify the subject. They develop a unified understanding of limits, continuity, differentiability, Riemann integrability, and infinite series of numbers and functions. Students encounter many interesting examples, including aEURoepathologicalaEUR ones, that motivate the subject and help fix the concepts. Key features: aEURc Flexible in design, the text can be used in a one-or two-term course aEURc A student friendly conversational writing style helps students grasp difficult concepts aEURc Proofs are written in a style appropriate for undergraduates to emulate in their homework aEURc Numerous examples throughout the book clearly illustrate the concepts at hand. aEURc Generous exercise sets, including many routine exercises, help students develop confidence aEURc Many project-type exercises guide students in exploring advanced topics aEURc An appendix includes answers and hints for selected exercises Contents: Chapter 1.

Garner, Bryan A. The Elements of Legal Style, OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS, März 2002 ISBN: 0195141628
With expanded coverage in this new edition, The Elements of Legal Style features additional sections, many more examples, and a thoroughly researched appendix that contains 80 major statements on prose style--what it is and how to attain it. Inspired by Strunk and White's The Elements ofStyle, this book clearly (often wittily) explains the full range of what legal writers need to know: mechanics, word choice, structure, and rhetoric, as well as all the special conventions that legal writers should follow in using headings, defined terms, quotations, and many other devices. Garner also provides abundant examples from the best legal writers of yesterday and today, including Oliver Wendell Holmes, Clarence Darrow, Frank Easterbrook, and Antonin Scalia.If you want to make your writing clearer, more precise, more persuasive, and above all more stylish, The Elements of Legal Style offers the surest--and the most enjoyable--means to that end.
