Susannah Frankel
Visionaries: Interviews with Fashion Designers

2005 y.
Publisher: V &, A Publications
Description: In her first book, Frankel presents a fashion-first look at the world, giving readers at least a decade of new material. This collection of her interviews with fashion designers, previously published in journals such as the Independent and Dazed &, Confused, offers a closer, more penetrating look into some of the world`s most intriguing designers. Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen, John Galliano, and John-Paul Gaultier are some of the designers showcased, alongside images of their clothes. The reproductions of the work that originally ran with each piece are enticing eye candy, sweetening the illuminating and juicy revelations printed in the accompanying interviews. The interviews, which took place between 1997 and April 2001, seem to preserve each designer`s pre-glory moments in time while presenting other designers` careers as the standard by which all success is measured. Although thorough in her coverage, Frankel does leave out prominent designers in America and Europe to… [detailed...]

Visionary`s Handbook : Nine Paradoxes That Will Shape the Future of Your Business

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: In The Visionary`s Handbook, Watts Wacker and Jim Taylor refuse to paint a simplistic picture of the future, instead, they show where to look for the insight needed to compete and grow in the years ahead. Authors of the prophetic The 500 Year Delta, they now proclaim the Age of the Individual -- a world where life has never been more difficult, because it has never been easier. Today, individuals have far more power to claim their own futures than ever before, which means they have to follow four major rules to chart their courses: Know who you are. Know where you want to go. Recognize your own seminal moments. Adopt an attitude of insurgency. A bold, incisive book, The Visionary`s Handbook captures the interlocking web of paradoxes that abound in everyday business life, and provides an essential map to help make the future work for every individual and every company in the challenging and uncertain times ahead.

Visions of Aging: Images of the Elderly in Film

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The interface of old age and cinema provides a fascinating yet uncharted territory in the humanities and social sciences. Two central perspectives are explored: movies on old age by old filmmakers, and movies on old age by younger artists. The first perspective focuses on the cinematic representation of ageing from within, whereas the second examines the ways ageing is viewed from the outside. The distinction is based on the schism between the phenomenology of ageing and its social representation: The one hinges on intrinsic qualities of `old age style` or `late style`, the second addresses attitudes towards old age in general as well as towards ageing artists and the reception (or rejection) of their late films.The author combines these general perspectives as it shifts between text and context, beginning with ageing from the outside in order to introduce the semantics and pragmatics of the context (reception and filmmaking stylistic change, midlife images of old age), and continuing… [detailed...]

Visions of Awakening Space and Time: Dogen and the Lotus Sutra

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: As a religion concerned with universal liberation, Zen grew out of a Buddhist worldview very different from the currently prevalent scientific materialism. Indeed, says Taigen Dan Leighton, Zen cannot be fully understood outside of a worldview that sees reality itself as a vital, dynamic agent of awareness and healing. In this book, Leighton explicates that worldview through the writings of the Zen master Eihei Dogen (1200-1253), considered the founder of the Japanese Soto Zen tradition, which currently enjoys increasing popularity in the West. The Lotus Sutra, arguably the most important Buddhist scripture in East Asia, contains a famous story about bodhisattvas (enlightening beings) who emerge from under the earth to preserve and expound the Lotus teaching in the distant future. The story reveals that the Buddha only appears to pass away, but actually has been practicing, and will continue to do so, over an inconceivably long life span. Leighton traces commentaries on the… [detailed...]

Visions of Charity: Volunteer Workers and Moral Community

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: In the United States, public talk about charity for the poor is highly moralistic, even in our era of welfare reform. But how do we understand the actual experience of caring for the poor? This study looks at the front lines of volunteer involvement withthe poor and homeless to assess what volunteer work means for those who do it. Rebecca Allahyari profiles volunteers at two charities-Loaves &, Fishes and The Salvation Army-to show how they think about themselves and their work, providing new ways for discussing charity and morality. Allahyari explores these agencies` differing ideological orientations and the raced, classed, and gendered contexts they provide volunteers for doing charitable work. Drawing on participant observation, intensive interviewing, and content analysis of organizational publications, she looks in particular at the process of self-improvement for these volunteers. The competing visions of charity Allahyari finds at these two organizations reveal the… [detailed...]

Visions of Heaven: The Dome in European Architecture

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: There`s an ethereal magic to standing beneath a dome, neck craned, looking up at a vision of the heavens created by some long-ago figure of genius. From the Pantheon to the Hagia Sophia, the power of the dome seems transcendent. Photographer David Stephenson`s magnificently kaleidoscopic images of dome interiors capture this evanescent drama, and make Visions of Heaven one of the most spectacularly beautiful books we`ve ever produced. Traveling from Italy to Spain, Turkey, England, Germany, and Russia, among other countries, and photographing churches, palaces, mosques, and synagogues from the second to the early twentieth century, Stephenson`s work amounts to a veritable typology of the cupola. His images present complex geometrical structures, rich stucco decorations, and elaborate paintings as they have never been seen before. Brilliantly calibrated exposures reveal details and colors that would otherwise remain hidden in these dimly lit spaces. Visions of Heaven… [detailed...]

Visions of Modernity: American Business and the Modernization of Germany

Description: In much the same way that Japan has become the focus of contemporary American discussion about industrial restructuring, Germans in the economic reform in terms of Americanism and Fordism, seeing in the United States an intriguing vision for a revitalized economy and a new social order. During the 1920s, Germans were fascinated by American economic success and its quintessential symbols, Henry Ford and his automobile factories. Mary Nolan`s book explores the contradictory ways in which trade unionists and industrialists, engineers and politicians, educators and social workers explained American economic success, envisioned a more efficient or `rationalized` economic system for Germany, and anguished over the social and cultural costs of adopting the American version of modernity. These debates about Americanism and Fordism deeply shaped German perceptions of what was economically and socially possible and desirable in terms of technology and work, family and gender relations,… [detailed...]

Visions of Thought: A collection of inspirational imagery and poetry

Publisher: —
Description: Visions of Thought is a collection of inspirational imagery and poetry. The words and images presented have been given to the author as a gift from his Spirit guides. There is much recent literature, which bears testimony to Angelic forces enabling us and guiding us on a path toward Enlightenment. The Universal force field has its own unique wisdom, using the tools of Light and Love to counter the disruptive and destructive effects of man`s inhumanity to man, and the desecration and denudation of our Earthly realm. It soon became apparent that the author was being used as a vehicle to bring messages of love, hope, inspiration, and guidance to his fellow Earth travelers. The opening poem, Visions of Thought serves as a gateway for the reader`s unique voyage toward the growth of Consciousness. The author beckons the reader to embrace life with passion, and to see each challenge as an opportunity for growth. [detailed...]
