這是本商業溝通技巧的入門佳作，它對說話者與觀眾的互動－－不管對象是潛在客戶、商業午餐會的與會者，或是在和下屬與同事的會議中，都充滿著使人耳目一新的見解。無論你是緊張的菜鳥，還是經驗老道的企業主管，都會覺得這本節奏緊湊的書是學習有效領導藝術中，最實用且充滿敏銳觀察的指南。－－雷夫．歐哈爾（Rev. Joseph A. O’Hare）福德罕大學校長

……身為美林證券最年輕的部門總經理，我得在1979年對公司的執委會作一場重要的簡報。我知道這場簡報非同小可，所以找了戴雷與他的團隊來幫我策劃這場簡報，結果相當成功。在我任職於美林證券的三十年職業生涯中，人們總是對我說，我最大的財富之一，就是我在所有場合的有效溝通能力。凱文．戴雷與蘿拉．戴雷卡拉維拉的演說技巧對我的溝通能力貢獻很大，我極力向大家推薦本書。 －－溫托普．史密斯（Winthrop H. Smith）美林證券國際公司的前任董事長

在一場重要會議中，老闆忽然轉頭問你對這件事有什麼看法，你該怎麼回答，才能讓老闆對你印象深刻？如果你不同意老闆的看法，而你確信自己是對的，你該如何跟老闆有效溝通，同時還避免老闆惱羞成怒怪罪於你？如果大老闆忽然要求你向他簡報執行某項專案的可能性，你該如何準備？如果你必須宣布一個壞消息，該怎麼說才適當？可以透過電子郵件宣布嗎？還是當面說比較好？……在這樣的關鍵時刻你該怎麼說？…… 掌握關鍵時刻的溝通力，你就掌握了職場競爭力！

現在的上班族要在職場中生存是越來越不容易，除了具備專業技能之外，職場上的溝通技巧更已成為攸關重要的一環。而在職場中的各種關鍵時刻裡，能否說好話更會決定你的成功與否，只要你在對的時刻以對的方式說出對的話，就能輕輕鬆鬆脫穎而出。本書寫給各行各業的上班族，不管面對何種挑戰，都能成為更有效的演說者、會議主席或商業餐會的主持人，以及溝通者。對於那些在事業上已擁有位階職權的主管們，比事業才剛起步的人更需要這本書，因為有那麼多事都取決於他們在大眾前表達的技巧。而這項新技巧的副產品就是，你也會變成一位更好的領導者，能夠挺身把話說對的人自然就會擁有領導力。

Cross-Cultural Issues in Art provides an engaging introduction to aesthetic concepts, expanding the discussion beyond the usual Western theorists and Western examples.

Steven Leuthold discusses both contemporary and historical issues and examples, incorporating a range of detailed case studies from African, Asian, European, Latin American, Middle Eastern and Native American art. Individual chapters address broad intercultural issues in art, including Art and Culture, Primitivism and Otherness, Colonialism, Nationalism, Art and Religion, Symbolism and Interpretation, Style and Ethnicity, A Sense of Place, Art and Social Order, Gender, and the Self, considering these themes as constructs that frame our understanding of art.

Cross-Cultural Issues in Art draws upon ideas and case studies from cultural and critical studies, art history, ethno-aesthetics and area studies, visual anthropology, and philosophy, and will be useful for undergraduate and postgraduate courses in these fields.

大名鼎鼎的傅雷，不但是我國第一流的文學藝術翻譯家，也是第一流的西方藝術史專家、美術作品和音樂作品鑒賞家。1934年，26歲的傅雷由法國遊學歸來後，執教於上海美術專科學校，主講西方美術史，《世界美術名作二十講》便是那時的作品。這本書不但在當時是空前的，即使在60多年後的今天，其文字的優美、議論的精到、見識的明達、賞析的深刻，也很難找到與之相匹敵者。

這本書共有20講，主要講述了16位美術大家和他們的鴻篇佳構，其中著重講述了歐洲文藝復興時期鼎足而立的三傑：達‧芬奇、米開朗琪羅、拉斐爾。這三人各有各的面目與精神：達‧芬奇的深，米開朗琪羅的大，拉斐爾的明媚，在文藝上各自匯成一支巨流，實現著文藝復興那個光華璀璨的時代之精神；綜合起來就造成了完滿宏富、源遠流長的近代歐洲文化。

書中作品涵括繪畫、雕塑、建築裝飾美術諸門。間或議論美術家的人品學問，以表現藝人的操守與修養；時而涉及時代與環境，以闡明藝術產生的因緣；同時兼顧理念分析與歷史敘述，以培植習藝術者的研究精神，講解藝術風格和作家情性，融文學與哲學、社會與時代於一體，生動洗練，引人入勝。
