SynopsisThe first book to focus specifically on the 1920s and 1930s eclectically profuse ceramics, it gives clear explanations of the confusingly varied usage of terms such as Art Deco, Modernism, Art Moderne and Streamline Style. Illustrating the extraordinary range of color, texture and form, over 200 color photographs provide a stunning visual reference of objects both useful and decorative, chosen for their visual power, their historical significance, or their appeal to 1990s collectors and practitioners., This work concentrates on the ceramics produced during the 1920s and 1930s throughout Britain, Europe, the USA and Japan. It provides explanations of the varied usage of terms such as art deco, modernism, art moderne and streamline style. Over 200 colour photographs illustrate objects, both useful and decorative, chosen for their appearance, their historical significance, or their potential appeal to 1990s collectors and practitioners., Provides an overview of state and local taxation, the current and future outlook across the nation, the role of taxes in economic development, and tax administration. Analyzes and compares all types of state and local taxes-income (individual and corporate) sales (retail and wholesale taxes on food, medicine, gas, and electricity), excise and consumption (on motor fuel, tobacco, and alcoholic beverages and on food, lodging, amusements, parimutuels, and lotteries), property (on different types of property), and severance taxes (on timber and minerals). Examines the philosophy behind the different taxes, recent trends, and current and future policy options. Appendices describing policy analysis and evaluation and listing key sources of information about state and local taxes, many statistical exhibits, and selective bibliography further enhance this reference for undergraduate and graduate students, the general public, and for public administrators, economists, and political scientists.
