Edwin G. Lucas (1911-1990) was one of the most unique Scottish painters of the 20th century. Born and educated in Edinburgh, he was largely self-taught as an artist, his family having discouraged him from pursuing a risky career path. Despite this, Lucas went on to become a serious and prolific painter, who exhibited regularly at the Royal Scottish Academy and Society of Scottish Artists, and staged two solo shows at the New Gallery on Shandwick Place in Edinburgh. During the 1930s he encountered Surrealism, which had a lasting impact on his creative practice. Blending Surrealist influences with his own idiosyncratic vision of the world, he cultivated an original and highly imaginative style of painting that is richly colourful and fascinatingly quirky.00'Edwin G. Lucas: An Individual Eye' is the first publication to focus on this unusual and enigmatic artist. Revealing the little-known story of Lucas' life and career, it traces his development from the early watercolours of his adolescence to his boldly experimental oil paintings of the 1940s and 1950s. It also explores the artist?s final, uncompromising works of the 1980s, which were produced after a break of almost thirty years. The book draws on material from the artist's estate, and is lavishly illustrated, featuring many of his most important drawings and paintings as well as rare archival photographs.00Exhibition: City Art Centre in Edinburgh, UK (04.08.2018 - 10.02.2019)

This book consists of both expository and research articles solicited from speakers at the conference entitled „Arithmetic and Ideal Theory of Rings and Semigroups,“ held September 22–26, 2014 at the University of Graz, Graz, Austria. It reflects recent trends in multiplicative ideal theory and factorization theory, and brings together for the first time in one volume both commutative and non-commutative perspectives on these areas, which have their roots in number theory, commutative algebra, and algebraic geometry. Topics discussed include topological aspects in ring theory, Prüfer domains of integer-valued polynomials and their monadic submonoids, and semigroup algebras. It will be of interest to practitioners of mathematics and computer science, and researchers in multiplicative ideal theory, factorization theory, number theory, and algebraic geometry.
