Abstract
This essay discusses the main theme of the above-entitled book--the conflict between the intellectual content of Arab nationalism and the realities of the Middle East in modern times and the resulting disillusionment and alienation of many Arab intellectuals. The main focus of the essay is Chapter One, The Suicide of Khalil Hawi: Requiem for a Generation, with reference to excerpts from other chapters and other sources with respect to the period leading up to Hawi's death on June 6, 1982.
From the Paper
"Hawi was a Christian Arab of Greek Orthodox origins who was born in December 1919 and grew up in mountainous areas east of Beirut, Lebanon. He was exposed at an early age to the ravages of the Turks and the hardships of post-World War I Lebanon. He became well-known as an Arab poet and as a professor at the American University in Beirut (AUB) and at Cambridge University in England. Ajami uses his life and the development of his thought to trace the disenchantment and despair his generation of Arab intellectuals felt toward the directions Arab nationalism had taken since the days of his youth."

Abstract
This paper relates that the Emperor Diocletian rose through the orders by virtue of military skill, brilliance, and flexible scruples and how in preparation for his retirement, Diocletian had built a huge structure on the Dalmatian coast, a few miles from Salona. It also looks at how what began as a villa eventually became a a permanent settlement as the city of Split developed.
From the Paper
"While there will probably never be definitive evidence of when the inhabitation which became Split took place, it is unlikely that the palace was ever entirely derelict. It was simply to fine a resource to pass up, and while it may have been many decades before there was any substantial permanent settlement here, it seems highly doubtful that the palace was ever truly deserted. (Wilkes, 88) While the precise nature of the inhabitation at Split during the early years remains questionable, the city always seems to have been regarded as autonomous, and by the time Constantine Porphyrogenitus chronicled it, it was essentially independent and remained so until the Venetians gained control in the fifteenth century. (Plommer, 256) "

Abstract
"Fouad Ajami?s The Dream Palace of the Arabs is a tale both of a place and of a generation. It is in many ways a hagiography of the world of the Arab intellectual in the 20th century, a world lived in large measure in exile, sometimes even from within the intellectual?s native land.
From the Paper
"Fouad Ajami?s The Dream Palace of the Arabs is a tale both of a place and of a generation. It is in many ways a hagiography of the world of the Arab intellectual in the 20th century, a world lived in large measure in exile, sometimes even from within the intellectual?s native land. It is a tale of theocracy and artistic freedom, of longing for belonging, of the passionate desire to find out who one is and why it is that one is different from both peoples in other places and from peoples in other times. This paper looks at some of the themes in this book as they are laid out in Ajami?s prologue and connects these themes to other authors exploring some of the same subjects.
Ajami is writing the story of the world of ideas in which intellectual Arabs have immersed themselves ? or tried to immerse themselves ? during the years more or less after World War II and the..."

The Contemporary Fine Art Markets, 2007.
This paper is an anthropological analysis of the contemporary fine art market based on Stuart Plattner's study, titled 'A Most Ingenious Paradox - the Market for Contemporary Fine Art' from "American Anthropologist".

Abstract
This paper explains that Plattner's article, 'A Most Ingenious Paradox - the Market for Contemporary Fine Art', reports trends in the North American contemporary fine arts markets and in the commodification of fine art that reflect a neo-liberal environment of considerable new wealth and the culture of consumerism. The author points out that Plattner's orientation is one of participant-observation; a person exposed directly to the phenomenon of local fine art businesses and those who produce for them. The paper concludes that the local fine art markets are well established and profitable and that its artifacts may indicate a great deal regarding consumer tastes and behavior.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
An Informal Ethnography
The Decline of Authority
Economic Anthropology and Fieldwork in Toronto
Concluding Remarks
From the Paper
"Few consumers can know much of why one piece of fine art in a local venue costs more than another, as producers know that few seem to purchase with an eye to buying something to appreciate in value, as opposed to buying due to personal preference. In local and regional markets, the artists that Plattner refers to as identity producers can have an involved philosophy towards what they produce of which consumers need not know, featuring ideas of contributing to a total cultural heritage rather than pursuing artistic fame or monetary success."

Abstract
This paper examines Claude Monet's" Water Lilies" ("Nympheas"), "Fereghan Horse" from the Chinese Tang Dynasty, John Singer Sargent's "Mrs. Joshua Montgomery Sears" and Mary Cassatt's "Children in the Garden" ("The Nurse") from the Houston Museum of Fine Arts. The author points out that Claude Monet's water lilies depict the Japanese styled stillness that Monet desired in works of nature. The paper relates that in Sargent's work, "Mrs. Joshua Montgomery Sears, the use of oils reveal the complexity of paints that provide greatly contrasting chiaroscuro that abounds in the work. The author further notes that the main subject in Mary Cassatt's work is the profound sense of women relationships that exist within elite households.
From the Paper
"The choppy brushwork of the fauna along the pathway is representative of Impressionist works of the period, while Cassatt abstracts the forms of the nurse and the children by denying them any detail. Small circular brush strokes define the flowers along the path, which help anchor the depth of the work. In effect, the composition of the painting provides some depth and perspective, as the nurse causally knits while the lone child plays at her side. By placing the woman and the two children off center of the painting, this provides the depth and abstraction of form need to bring out depth perception along the angle of the pathway."

Abstract
The paper discusses Kudler's proposed expansion during which time some departments will not be operational. The paper explores some of the legal obligations Kudler has to take into consideration before it decides to close the relevant departments. The paper explores facets of contract law, product liability implications and employment law. The paper advises that the legal environment not be merely implied or be ad-hoc in nature, especially for a company like Kudler that has many activities that require a legal framework to be implemented within the organization.
Outline:
Introduction
Short-term Work Disruption: Kudler's Obligation to Workers
Contracting: Local Organic Growers and Kudler Fine Foods
Product Liability and Regulatory Implications for Kudler Fine Foods: Organic Produce Sales
Employment Law and Kudler Fine Foods: Issues to Consider When Hiring New Employees
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Kudler currently does not have a policy or system that utilizes contracts with suppliers. Kathy and her assistant tailor generic forms to specify agreements with current suppliers. Organic producers want to implement contracts, so that they can have some certainty regarding where their produce is sold. Kudler should consider the fact that a contract is a legally binding agreement between themselves and the local growers of organic growers; and should not be treated lightly (Barnes et al, 2003, p 222)."
