description: In this paper, I consider the transitions of Taiwan and South Korea to democracy. Specifically, I study why citizens in these newly democratic systems engage in conventional forms of participation as an indicator of consolidation. Using much of the existing literature on participation, I test hypotheses that frame the decisions to participate through conventional forms as a function of internal feelings of efficacy, or political engagement, mobilization by parties and social capital. I use a series of hierarchical linear models to assess Waves 2 and 3 data from the 2005–2010 Asian Barometer and find considerable support for political engagement, party attachment, and social connections in spurring on participation. In addition, while respondents offer limited support for democratic institutions, they espouse liberal attitudes; this reflects the large presence of “critical citizens” in these places (Norris 1999; Chu and Huang 2010). Though fragile, there are indications of meaningful democratic progress in Taiwan and South Korea.

Compounds 1–3 were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR spectra, elemental analyses, powder X-ray diffraction analyses, and thermogravimetric analyses. Compound 1 presents a two-dimensional (2-D) network containing the Keggin-type [PMo12O40]3− anion and dinuclear metal–organic units [CuII2(phen)2(4,4′-bipy)(H4,4′-bipy)2(H2O)2]3+. Compound 2 is a 2-D architecture constructed from a [PW12O40]3− and mononuclear metal–organic units [CuII(phen)2(H4,4′-bipy)]3+. In 3, the [BW12O40]5− anions link [CuII2(phen)2(4,4′-bipy)] units to form a one-dimensional (1-D) chain [CuII2(phen)2(4,4′-bipy)(BW12O40)(H2O)2]; the 1-D chain connects with protonated 4,4′-bipy ligands and lattice waters, yielding a 2-D layer. Fluorescence spectra, UV–vis spectra, and electrochemical properties of 1–3 have been investigated.

description: Questo studio affronta il problema della sostenibilità da due punti di vista: la sua genesi e la sua soluzione. Per quanto riguarda il primo, introdurremo l'ipotesi che la mancata considerazione dei problemi di sostenibilità non sia irrazionale in senso assoluto ma derivi dall'azione di tre archetipi che descrivono con precisione il comportamento "naturale" degli individui nel perseguire i propri scopi: comportarsi in modo da fornire evidenti vantaggi a breve termine, sia individuali che locali,  ignorando gli svantaggi e i danni che tale comportamento produce nel lungo periodo, a livello collettivo e globale. Per quanto riguarda il secondo punto, la soluzione, punto di vista (la soluzione del problema), riteniamo valido il modello generale del cambiamento a tre velocità (o a tre ruote di cambiamento) noto come "Modello PSC", poiché descrive tre ruote del cambiamento: la ruota veloce del cambiamento nei Processi, quella più lenta del cambiamento nelle Strutture, e quella molto lenta del cambiamento nella Cultura. Il cambiamento verso una cultura della sostenibilità deve essere innescato dalla ruota che fissa norme e regole per modificare i Processi e le procedure operative attuali; questa ruota deve necessariamente innescare la ruota del cambiamento nelle strutture, che è necessaria per poter svolgere i processi con le nuove regole. Il cambiamento, però, avviene effettivamente e stabilmente solo quando c'è una rotazione della ruota della Cultura, che muove gli individui a considerare gli effetti del loro comportamento anche nel lungo periodo, a livello collettivo e globale.

description: This study describes the in vitro inhibition of protein denaturation of extract/fractions of Withania somnifera and isolated withanolides including 20β hydroxy-1-oxo(22R)-witha-2,5,24 trienolide (1), (20R,22R-14α,20α)-dihydroxy-1-oxowitha-2,5,16,24 tetraenolide (2). The results showed that the extract/fractions of the plant evoked profound inhibitory effect on thermal-induced protein denaturation. The chloroform fraction caused the most dominant attenuation of 68% at 500 μg/mL. The bioactivity-guided isolation from chloroform fraction led to the isolation of compounds 1 and 2 that showed profound protein inhibition with 78.05% and 80.43% effect at 500 μg/mL and thus strongly complimented the activity of extract/fractions. In conclusion, extract/fractions of W. somnifera possessed strong inhibition of protein denaturation that can be attributed to these isolated withanolides.

description: The subduction of bathymetric asperities has been linked with the location and rupture characteristics of significant (moment magnitude > 5.0) thrust earthquakes in several regions, but a global analysis of these relationships is lacking. We carry out a global investigation of well-defined subducting bathymetric features including ridges, fracture zones and seamounts, and their spatial association with significant earthquakes. The NGDC global significant earthquake database has been filtered to include only those events occurring in the coupling zone between subducting and overriding plates, which includes the bulk of megathrust earthquakes. A statistical methodology is used to compare spatial associations between subducting linear asperities and significant earthquakes. Randomly sampled coupling zone locations are used to establish sensitivity/specificity relationships as a function of proximity, ruling out random effects and establishing meaningful spatial interpretations. In a previous study, we showed that there is a strong link between the largest earthquakes and proximity to fracture-zone subduction-zone intersections. Here, this analysis is extended using a game-formulation methodology, rigorously demonstrating that significant subduction-related earthquakes are more likely to be generated at, or very close to, the intersections between subduction zones and fracture zones, compared with arbitrary locations along subduction zones. A weaker, broader effect is exhibited by subducting volcanic ridges/seamount chains. Fracture zone associations are attributed to the large, localised, linear and mechanically strong bathymetric anomalies related to fracture zone ridges, leading to strong seismic coupling, whereas associations pertaining to volcanic ridges/seamount chains are explained by inherently broader, less elevated and poorly defined characteristics, combined with structural weaknesses that may reduce the long-term coupling effect.

description: L’Unione Europea sta prospettando il vincolo che dal 2035 non potranno più essere commercializzati in Europa autoveicoli con motori a combustione interna: questa decisione sta generando forti reazioni, giustificate da problemi occupazionali, di investimento, di innovazione e di mercato. Con Agenda 2030 l’ONU ha espresso i suoi 17 obiettivi sullo sviluppo sostenibile. Tali obiettivi, interconnessi tra loro, diventano punti di riferimento utili per indirizzare, stimolare e spronare le persone verso i comportamenti da seguire allo scopo di centrare tali obiettivi nell’ottica di una futura sostenibilità condivisa. Siamo di fronte ad aspetti importanti e da valutare, ma l’ambiente viene collocato come una variabile esterna alle decisioni da assumere: si tratta di un grave errore in quanto è un comportamento ambientale esiziale già ripetuto in passato con esiti non favorevoli; meglio sarebbe internalizzare tale variabile nel sistema. La transizione ecologica è un atto dovuto, per noi e per le generazioni future: presenta aspetti problematici, da risolvere e da affrontare con impegno. Ridurre l’impiego di energia non rinnovabile è ridurre la nostra aggressione all’ambiente e offrire un ambiente migliore alle future generazioni. Risparmiare acqua, risorsa rinnovabile, incide sui comportamenti personali quotidiani, sui processi produttivi e incentiva la ricerca e la innovazione tecnologica per la produzione di beni e servizi, realizzando un effetto positivo per l’ambiente. La grande sfida comportamentale è, oggi più che mai, una scelta di campo: vivere e progettare in funzione dell’ambiente.

description: Synthesis of polyol ester as novel biodegradable base stock from sesame seed oil for lubricant production was conducted via chemical transesterification of sesame methyl ester (SME) with trimethylolpropane (TMP) using calcium hydroxide catalyst. The reactions were carried out under varying temperatures (80 to 160°C) and methyl esters to TMP mole ratios (3:1 to 7:1). Products analysis was performed using Gas Chromatography. Products physicochemical characteristics determined using ASTM methods were compared with ISO VG 22 standard. The process was predominated by second order reaction with rate constant of 1.40E-01 (%wt/wt min °C)−1. The activation energy for sesame biolubricant (SBL) was 16.22 kJ/mol. Results indicated viscosities of 35.55 and 7.66 cSt at 40 and 100°C, respectively for SBL. Recorded were viscosity index, pour point and flash point of 193, -21°C and 196°C, respectively. SBL characteristics complied with ISO VG 22 standard and holds high potential as base stock for biolubricant formulation.

description: In modern portfolio optimization, accurately managing tail‐risk amid distributional ambiguity is critical for robust investment decisions. This presentation introduces the Worst‐Case Conditional Value‐at‐Risk (WCVaR) as a coherent, distributionally robust risk measure and demonstrates its application to portfolio selection. We first formulate the WCVaR minimization problem under an ambiguity set of probability laws, covering (i) mixture distributions of known likelihoods, (ii) discrete distributions with uncertain probabilities, and (iii) classical uncertainty sets: box and ellipsoidal. By leveraging convex duality, each case is recast into a tractable optimization: a min–max program over portfolio weights and auxiliary variables. We then embed WCVaR into a robust portfolio‐management framework subject to budget and return‐constraint sets. Numerical experiments—using market‐data and Monte Carlo simulations—contrast the robust WCVaR portfolios with nominal (CVaR‐based) allocations in both worst‐case and nominal risk–return planes. Results reveal that WCVaR‐optimized portfolios consistently achieve lower downside exposure under the worst‐case scenarios while retaining competitive expected returns. We conclude that WCVaR offers a flexible, theoretically sound, and practically implementable approach for investors seeking resilience against model misspecification and parameter uncertainty.

description: This paper aims to explore the impact of digitalization on corporations’ sustainability management control (SMC), as well as comprehend the effects digitally empowered SMC has in promoting corporations’ sustainability performance. This research employs a qualitative case study approach to research by gathering empirical data from a corporation operating within an environmentally sensitive and controversial sector. The selected corporation utilizes SMC systems and practices, as well as various digital tools and technologies to support its sustainability operations, performance evaluation and innovation processes. This article provides readers with empirical evidence highlighting the role digital technologies have in facilitating SMC collection, analysis and evaluation processes. However, this study finds that digital technologies integrated in SMC raise new challenges and concerns for managers and corporations. The insights deriving from this body of work should prove useful in underlining the importance of digital technologies' effect on corporations sustainability performance thus supporting the twin transition notion. From a theoretical perspective, this manuscript expands the literature strand on twin transition and digitally empowered SMC. From a managerial standpoint, this article emphasizes the role digital technologies have within SMC and sustainability performance and practices hence promoting its addition within firms operating in environmentally sensitive and controversial sectors

Орнамент как особый вид искусства

description: В статье рассматриваются ключевые вопросы теории орнамента: имеет ли орнамент самостоятельный характер и насколько правомерно выделение его в отдельный вид искусства? Каковы его базовые свойства? Автор также поднимает вопрос о семантике орнамента и возможности выявления значений орнаментальных мотивов. В отечественной историографии на вопрос о самостоятельном характере орнамента сложились две противоположные точки зрения, представленные в работах М.С. Кагана (1961), где постулируется исключительно служебная роль орнамента, и Ю.Я. Герчука (2013), где орнамент рассматривается как самостоятельный вид искусства. Решение данного вопроса потребовало обращения к историографии, где за почти два столетия сформировался целый спектр направлений исследования орнамента не только в искусствознании, но в математике и в рамках смежных гуманитарных дисциплин – археологии, антропологии и этнографии. Так, основные направления исследования орнамента были обозначены П.М. Кожиным (1981) при рассмотрении орнаментики керамики китайского неолита. Ритмичность орнамента послужила основанием для выделения антропологом Я.Я. Рогинским (1982) двух «направлений», которые «не распределены сколько-нибудь строго по общеизвестным родам искусства» – «искусства-образа» и «искусства-ритма». Комплексное рассмотрение проблемы орнамента позволяет считать его особым видом искусства, основанном на визуализации ритма. Орнамент обладает своими собственными свойствами (инверсия и обратимость, ритм, симметрия, модулярность), включая возможность воспроизведения на различных носителях в различных масштабах. Семантика орнаментов чаще всего не выходит за пределы знака и имеет ассоциативный и изменчивый характер: это, с одной стороны, сужает возможности ее «раскрытия», с другой стороны, позволяет направить исследования в сторону реконструкции процесса преобразования художественных форм в рамках конкретных орнаментальных традиций.

description: В статье ставится задача отыскать объяснения структурным и архитектурно-художественным особенностям афинского Акрополя в мифологических представлениях древних греков о космическом мироустройстве. Для этого проводятся соотнесения объектов, расположенных на Акрополе, с их вероятными небесными прообразами, запечатленными на звездном небе. Устанавливается, что земная проекция созвездий соответствовала такому повороту неба, при котором Млечный Путь следовал широтному направлению, а плоскость эклиптики, окруженная поясом Зодиака, приподнималась на западе и опускалась в восточном направлении. В целом Акрополь оказывался подобием корабля Арго, устремленного в сторону восходящего Солнца. Его южная (правая) сторона соотносилась с созвездиями Льва, Девы, Весов и Скорпиона, а северная (левая) – Тельца, Овна, Рыб и Водолея. Первая из них ассоциировалась с матерью-землей и светлой премудрой девой Афиной, а вторая – с темной и бурной водной стихией, олицетворяемой Посейдоном.

description: В статье исследуется ситуация в области теории садового искусства 1780–1840-х годов, когда концептуальные трактаты сменялись практическими руководствами. Описаны эстетические споры о «живописности» (Ю. Прайс, Р. Найт) и реакция на них со стороны историков и практиков (Х. Уолпол, Дж. Деллавей). Рассматриваются структура, теоретические и практические идеи двух влиятельных книг, созданных в первой половине XIX столетия, – «Энциклопедия садоводства» Джона Клаудиуса Лаудона (1835) и «Заметки о ландшафтном садоводстве» Германа фон Пюклер-Мускау (1834), сделаны выводы о культурном значении этих памятников ландшафтной мысли. Дж. Лаудон работал в ситуации перехода от неоклассических вкусов Просвещения к романтизму и эклектике, и это сказалось на его теории. Он подытоживает историю великих стилей, предлагает сочетать их элементы, а также обосновывает концепцию gardenesque – формального сада, представляющего собой коллекцию растений. Г. фон Пюклер-Мускау представляет романтическое направление в садоводстве XIX века. Хотя он использует формальные элементы и мелкие формы, его основная цель – создание больших пейзажей, одним из которых стал его парк в Мускау.

description: ABSTRACTRisk acceptance has been broadly discussed in relation to hazardous risk activities and/or technologies. A better understanding of risk acceptance in occupational settings is also important; however, studies on this topic are scarce. It seems important to understand the level of risk that stakeholders consider sufficiently low, how stakeholders form their opinion about risk, and why they adopt a certain attitude toward risk. Accordingly, the aim of this study is to examine risk acceptance in regard to occupational accidents in furniture industries. The safety climate analysis was conducted through the application of the Safety Climate in Wood Industries questionnaire. Judgments about risk acceptance, trust, risk perception, benefit perception, emotions, and moral values were measured. Several models were tested to explain occupational risk acceptance. The results showed that the level of risk acceptance decreased as the risk level increased. High-risk and death scenarios were assessed as unacceptable. Risk perception, emotions, and trust had an important influence on risk acceptance. Safety climate was correlated with risk acceptance and other variables that influence risk acceptance. These results are important for the risk assessment process in terms of defining risk acceptance criteria and strategies to reduce risks.

description: We assessed how storage time and freeze-thaw cycles affects the total and metabolically active bacterial populations in cow rumen samples. We found that Gram-negative bacteria rich samples are more prone to bias due to their fragile cell walls. These samples require more careful handling than samples dominated by Gram-positive bacteria. Furthermore, we observed a Proteobacterial bloom occurring due to their ability to outcompete other bacteria related to preservation stressors. Further investigation on the use of cryoprotectants and correlating bacterial metabolism end-products with sequencing data will become essential for sample preservation.

description: This study provides valuable insights into cow- calf producer and feedlot operator suc-cession plans for transferring cattle operations upon exiting the industry. Across both cow- calf producers and feedlot operators, about 50% expect to be raising cattle for 10 more years or less; however, about 39% of these producers do not have a succession plan in place. Cow- calf producers view a rural lifestyle, self- employment, working with livestock, and working with family as the biggest attractions to future generations enter-ing beef cattle production. Cow- calf producers view environmental regulations, land tax policy, and expansion of corn and soybean acres as the biggest obstacles. Feedlot opera-tors identified the same attractions as the cow- calf group; however, the highest- ranking obstacles were mostly different, except environmental regulations, and included work hours as well as labor availability and costs.

description: In this study we investigated the impact of temperature on emissions as related to various bitumen applications and processes used in commercial products. Bitumen emissions are very complex and can be influenced in quantity and composition by differences in crude source, refining processes, application temperature, and work practices. This study provided a controlled laboratory environment to study five bitumen test materials from three European refineries; three paving grade, one used for primarily roofing and some paving applications, and one oxidized industrial specialty bitumen. Emissions were generated at temperatures between 140°C and 230°C based on typical application temperatures of each product. Emissions were characterized by aerodynamic particle size, total organic matter (TOM), simulated distillation, 40 individual PACs, and fluorescence (FL-PACs) spectroscopy.Results showed that composition of bitumen emissions is influenced by temperature under studied experimental conditions. A distinction between the oxidized bitumen with flux oil (industrial specialty bitumen) and the remaining bitumens was observed. Under typical temperatures used for paving (150°C–170°C), the TOM and PAC concentrations in the emissions were low. However, bitumen with flux oil produced significantly higher emissions at 230°C, laden with high levels of PACs. Flux oil in this bitumen mixture enhanced release of higher boiling-ranged compounds during application conditions.At 200°C and below, concentrations of 4–6 ring PACs were ≤6.51 μg/m3 for all test materials, even when flux oil was used. Trends learned about emission temperature-process relationships from this study can be used to guide industry decisions to reduce worker exposure during processing and application of hot bitumen.

description: Volatile markets for farmland have created interest in tools that can help analyze land investments (Zimmermann, 2014). Extension specialists in several states have created some valuable decision aids that have been utilized by prospective investors, rural appraisers and real estate brokers. Agricultural educators can also use them for teaching the principles of real estate valuation.Among the land purchase decision aids that are currently available are KSU- Landbuy from the AgManager .info website at Kansas State University (Dhuyvetter & Kastens, 2013), Farmland Purchase Analysis from the Ag Decision Maker website at Iowa State University (Edwards, 2015), and Land Purchase Analysis from the Farmdoc FAST tools website (University of Illinois, 2009). For convenience, they will be referred to as the AMI, ADM, and FAST models, respectively. All of these tools are Excel spreadsheets and rely on traditional capital budgeting techniques to analyze a farmland purchase decision, but they differ in some important methodological aspects.The purpose of this article is to compare and contrast the three decision aids and dis-cuss the implications of the different capital budgeting approaches employed in each one. Additional features contained in one or more of the three tools will be summarized as well. A case example representing a typical midwestern farmland purchase opportunity will be analyzed using each decision aid, and the results will be compared.

description: Рассматривается один из содержательных узлов в сложении историологической традиции в отечественной истории архитектуры Новейшего времени. Внимание сосредоточено на методологическом синтезе в деятельности Комиссии по проблемам культуры Возрождения при Научном совете истории мировой культуры Академии наук в 1970-е годы. Проблемы диалога историологии и историографии в архитектонике исторического знания оказались в сфере исследовательских интересов комиссии. В этом ракурсе показано, как формировалась методология истории Н.М. Карамзина в контексте городской культуры своего времени, объединяя в себе художественное и исследовательское (интеллектуальное) начало. Уникальность переходного момента от хронологического летописания к причинно-следственному построению целостного знания об историческом процессе породило качественно иное толкование понятия «новое» именно в его творчестве. С именем Н.М. Карамзина можно связать и формирование пристального внимания к городу как месту в пространстве. В первую очередь это относится к Москве. Именно с ней он переживал ощущение современности. В совокупности, авторское истолкование понятий «новое», «место», «протяженность времени» позволило ему выработать объемно-пространственную методику построения исторического знания. В этом тексте важно было связать в единое целое представления о современности и истории Новейшего времени и убедиться в том, что эти представления неотрывны от архитектуры (амфитеатра) как теоретической проблемы в современной методологии науки и зашифрованной как послание, заложенное в научно-художественной методологии истории Н.М. Карамзина.

description: Начиная со второй половины XX века значимым вопросом изучения раннеисламского архитектурного орнамента Средней Азии становится тема якобы замаскированных во множестве орнаментальных форм зооморфных мотивов. Сторонники данного подхода применяли его и к памятникам с резным ганчем. Однако комплекс современных знаний позволяет взглянуть на вопрос по-новому и выявить общие черты, которые заставляют переосмыслить данную историко-теоретическую проблему. Несмотря на выросшее в IX–XII веках значение орнамента, сохранились традиции вполне реалистичных изображений животных, которые не утратили самостоятельного значения. А «зашифрованные» зооморфизмы, скорее, можно отнести к предельной стилизации растительного орнамента. Исследование проведено на материале резного ганча (стука) как наиболее репрезентативного материала, содержащего ценную информацию об архитектурной орнаментике раннего ислама (на примере шести сохранившихся памятников на территории Киргизии, Таджикистана, Туркменистана, Узбекистана). Расцвет этой техники в Средней Азии приходится на IX–XII века (чем объясняется выбор хронологических рамок исследования).

description: The 2009 Study of Houston Atmospheric Radical Precursors (SHARP) field campaign had several components that yielded information on the primary vehicular emissions of formaldehyde (HCHO) and nitrous acid (HONO), in addition to many other species. Analysis of HONO measurements at the Moody Tower site in Houston, TX, yielded emission ratios of HONO to the vehicle exhaust tracer species NOx and CO of 14 pptv/ppbv and 2.3 pptv/ppbv, somewhat smaller than recently published results from the Galleria site, although evidence is presented that the Moody Tower values should be upper limits to the true ratios of directly emitted HONO, and are consistent with ratios used in current standard emissions models. Several other Moody Tower emission ratios are presented, in particular a value for HCHO/CO of 2.4 pptv/ppbv. Considering only estimates of random errors, this would be significantly lower than a previous value, though the small sample size and possible systematic differences should be taken into account. Emission factors for CO, NOx, and HCHO, as well as various volatile organic compounds (VOCs), were derived from mobile laboratory measurements both in the Washburn Tunnel and in on-road exhaust plume observations. These two sets of results and others reported in the literature all agree well, and are substantially larger than the CO, NOx, and HCHO emission factors derived from the emission ratios reported from the Galleria site.Implications: Emission factors for the species measured in the various components of the 2009 SHARP campaign in Houston, TX, including HCHO, HONO, CO, CO2, nitrogen oxides, and VOCs, are needed to support regional air quality monitoring. Components of the SHARP campaign measured these species in several different ways, each with their own potential for systematic errors and differences in vehicle fleets sampled. Comparisons between data sets suggest that differences in sampling place and time may result in quite different emission factors, while also showing that different vehicle mixes can yield surprisingly similar emission factors.

description: В статье рассматриваются предметы культовой металлопластики, обнаруженной в руинах двух святилищ в Луристане (Западный Иран, IX–VII вв. до н.э.). Опираясь на археологические факты, автор впервые выделяет сюжетные изображения изделий, бытовавшие в храмовой жизни древних луров. Новизна исследования состоит в привлечении к анализу неизвестных в отечественном искусствознании материалов святилища Сангтарашан, а также в том, что изображения исследуются во взаимосвязи с типами и возможными функциями предметов с целью интерпретации социальной принадлежности их обладателей.

description: В статье подробно рассматриваются примеры репрезентации механического тела в изобразительном искусстве Веймарской Германии (1918–1933 гг.) на материале творчества художников берлинского дада, а также кельнских конструктивистов. Автор раскрывает сложный и противоречивый исторический контекст рассматриваемого периода и показывает тесную взаимосвязь немецкого искусства с политическими, социальными и экономическими процессами времени. Активное развитие капиталистической системы производства, интенсификация научно-технического прогресса на фоне последствий Первой мировой войны актуализировали проблему механизации тела. Если для берлинских дадаистов искусственное тело (манекен, марионетка, автомат, инвалид с протезами) служило средством высмеивания обывательского мышления в эпоху массового общества, а также реваншистских настроений межвоенного периода, то для кельнских художников тело-механизм являлось уже констатацией свершившегося факта общественной жизни: в современном обществе тело отчуждается от индивида и служит целям более высокого порядка. В статье продемонстрировано, что проблема соотношения природного и искусственного начал как в общественной, так и в частной жизни привела к ревизии традиционного понимания тела.

description: Повествовательное по своему характеру искусство Великобритании второй половины XIX века сформулировало каноны книжной иллюстрации, ставшие отправной точкой для графиков первых десятилетий XX века, основой для которых было искусство прерафаэлитов и Обри Бёрдслея. В то же время с новой волной увлечения Уильямом Шекспиром на театральных подмостках Лондона издатели также заинтересовались классиком английской литературы и начали привлекать молодых многообещающих иллюстраторов для работы над новыми изданиями его пьес. В приведенной статье рассматривается эволюция творчества английского художника эдвардианской эпохи Артура Рэкхема через призму его многочисленных иллюстраций к произведениям Шекспира. Для Рэкхема графические циклы к «Сну в летнюю ночь» и «Буре» стали одними из лучших творений за всю его многолетнюю карьеру. Многочисленные иллюстрации мастера на шекспировские темы, разбросанные по всей его биографии от начала деятельности и вплоть до тяжелой болезни, в результате которой он скончался, позволяют определить наиболее отчетливые изменения в подходах и стилистике художника, узнать, как она менялась с течением времени, а также кто и в какой степени повлиял на его творчество.
