Good readable copy.; Catalogue of the memorial Exhibition.; Oriental decorated wares and the subjects and styles of their decoration are the central theme of this catalogue, which presents a selection from the collection of the late Gerald Reitlinger. Through the superb exemples of Chinese "Transitional" style blue and white porcelain, Japanese Kakiemon and the whole range of Islamic ceramics from the ninth century onwards, it becomes clear that Reitlinger was an early and highly descerning specialists in several families of decorated ware. In each category, the decoration is described, illustrated and placed in the context of current knowledge in the field by an expert from the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford. A second theme of the catalogue lies in Reitlinger's interest in tracing connections between various types of decorated ware. In particular, his Islamic collection demonstrates the influence of Far Eastern designs, as does the smaller collection of European ceramics, put together with a similar intention towards the end of his life. The late Gerald Reitlinger was perhaps best known for his volumes on The Economics of Taste. He was also a noted connoisseur and collector in other fields of art, as well as of Eastern Ceramics, from the 1920s until his death in 1979. He left his collection to the Ashmolean Museum a dew years before he died and part of it is to be exhibited there in 1981.

From the publisher: "Decay is unavoidable. It's everywhere around us, physically, socially, spiritually. In our crumbling inner cities and foreclosure-ravaged suburbs. In the widening chasms of our politics. In the erosion of the social contract that once governed how we treat each other. In our own aging bodies and diminishing ambitions.Decay is a powerfully meaningful subject in the context of Las Vegas, a city devoted to gleaming surfaces, the glamour of youth and the thrill of the new. But it isn't immune to decline, and in the ten essays collected here, a diverse group of the city's best writers - novelists, journalists, scholars, critics - confront it head on. With refreshing candor, penetrating insight and plenty of wit, they probe the rot and look for ways to reclaim it, whether it's in their community, our public life or within themselves.The writers who participated in this project, sponsored by the 2011 Vegas Valley Book Festival, are Stephen Bates, Deborah Coonts, Lynette Curtis, Jarret Keene, Danielle Kelly, Andrew Kiraly, Rick Lax, Matthew O'Brien, Steve Sebelius and Stacy J.
