Albrecht Durer's Religious Art Albrecht Durer, a German Renaissance artist, has been likened to Leonardo da Vinci because of his search into man's physical and psychological being. He was interested in what was called "humors" or the temperament of people and has been termed the first true humanist of the North (Snyder 316). The word "humor" referred to the fluids in the body, and in the fifteenth century there were said to be four. The two secreted by the liver were gall and bile which caused despair and greed. Melancholia was also said to be the result of the humors of the liver. Phlegm, created in the lungs, was said to cause apathy, gluttony, and sloth. The sanguine humor was the product of overly active blood circulation, provoking vices of lust or lechery.

Beethoven's role as a transitional figure between the classical and romantic periods took several forms. In one sense, it was the composer's mystique, based on nineteenth-century perceptions of Beethoven as "the very type of the artist," that influenced other musicians, and the general reception of his works (Kerman and Tyson 392). In another sense, it was the increased freedom of personal expression in Beethoven's music that exerted the greatest appeal for later musicians. Beethoven, for example, often wrote music that was openly autobiographical "in a way that is unthinkable before 1790," but which struck a positive chord among the Romantics (Rosen 385). And, in a third sense, Beethoven's influence had a purely musical side, as very few musicians of the Romantic era "escaped his influence in technical respects" (Kerman and Tyson 392). Thus, though most

Introduction The American workplace is composed of workers from different backgrounds and cultures with different expectations of what the employment experience should hold for them. Workers come not only from various parts of the country, but various parts of the world, and today's international markets mean that even small American companies can do business with companies in many different nations. As a result of this increased diversity, companies are struggling with ways to reconcile the different needs of employees with the needs of the organization. Diversity programs are one consequence of this struggle, and diversity programs have met with varying degrees of success depending on how they are developed and implemented. This research explores the diversity program at a biotechnology company and considers how the lessons from that
