The Green Imperative: Ecology and Ethics in Design and Architecture by Victor Papanek Pdf

A fresh edition of the sustainable design pioneer Victor Papanek’s classic and ever-relevant book examining the important role of design in combating climate change. Whether it’s horror at the plastic littering the world’s beaches or despair at the melting polar ice caps, the world is gradually waking up to the impending climate disaster. In The Green Imperative, Papanek argues for design that addresses these issues head-on. This means using materials that can be recycled and reused, no more pointless packaging, thinking about how products make us feel and engage all our senses, putting nature at the heart of design, working at a smaller scale, rejecting aesthetics for their own sake, and thinking before we buy. First published at the end of the twentieth century, this book offered a plethora of honest advice, clear examples, and withering critiques, laying out the flaws of and opportunities for the design world at that time. A quarter of a century on, Papanek’s lucid prose has lost none of its verve, and the problems he highlights have only become more urgent, giving today’s reader both a fascinating historical perspective on the issues at hand and a blueprint for how they might be solved.

Check by Michael Burton Pdf

Miles Norris, a retired computer salesman, has lost the will to live. Approaching 80 years of age, his wife taken by cancer, he was banished from an assisted living center in Florida because of violent behavior. Now his only son, Scott, is moving him, against his will, to the Better Life Spa, an expensive, state-of-the-art Alzheimer's center outside Washington, D.C. that claims to be able to provide all the care the old man could ever need--or so they think. Scott is unaware that the Better Life also operates a parallel business, a secret one, unrelated to healthcare. However, also like Scott, they too, the Better Life Spa, fail to appreciate that the old man that they have admitted to their facility, depressed and unresponsive, is much more than he appears. When the two forces collide, Miles Norris and The Better Life Spa, a violent game of human chess plays out. A fun rollercoaster of intrigue and revelations leads to one truth: there can be no stalemate or surrender in this contest. It will only end with checkmate. Amazon review, 5 stars, "James Bond in an Assisted Living Center" The lead character is really a 'geriatric James Bond'. As his skill set is unveiled the reader is lead to conclude there is more to this man than just another slightly confused patient in an assisted living facility. The action of this lead character is 'age appropriate' and not the fantasy of so many thriller/suspense characters. The epilogue is poignant and brings the reader full circle as one life has ended and another is beginning. This is the best crime/thriller book I have read in ages. It would make a wonderful movie. Tommy Lee Jones should play Miles Norris. I would pay to see that. Amazon Review, 5 stars, Gripping and thrilling spy mystery! Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2021 Verified Purchase I like spy thriller novels and this one kept my interest from the beginning. It's setting is in an assisted living center where you wouldn't expect to have such suspenseful drama take place. The author drew me in and built up the suspense till the very end. All the chess moves were intriguing. I highly recommend this novel.

Virgin by Design by Nick Carson Pdf

A celebration of fifty years of daring innovation at the iconic Virgin brand. There is only one brand that could start as a record company and evolve into an airline, a hotel chain, and a space-flight provider—and that brand is Virgin. Because of the daring vision and marketing genius of Richard Branson, Virgin has defied categorization and broken all the rules of business while creating one of the most recognizable companies of all time. This new volume is a celebration of fifty years of bold innovation at Virgin. Lavishly illustrated, it tells the story of the creation and development of a globally respected brand. More than a retrospective, this book gets to the very heart of the Virgin brand, telling the gutsy origin story while examining why audiences and consumers adore all things Virgin. Virgin by Design is for anyone interested in corporate identity, innovation, and stories of breaking the rules. With signature Virgin flair, this book includes chapters on being playful in business, risks without recklessness, collaboration, and using business to do good. Virgin companies past and present are featured, including those that were launched and closed, such as Virgin Cola and Virgin Brides, highlighting the company’s resilience and spirit alongside its creativity and success.

Breaking Ground by Anne Snyder,Susannah Black Pdf

As a pandemic and racial reckoning exposed society's faults, Christian thinkers were laying the groundwork for a better future. A public health and economic crisis provoked by Covid-19. A social crisis cracked open by the filmed murder of George Floyd. A leadership crisis laid bare as the gravity of a global pandemic met a country suffocating in political polarization and idolatry. In the spring of 2020 Comment and Plough magazines created a joint publishing project that would tap the resources of the Christian humanist tradition to respond collaboratively and imaginatively to these crises. This volume, written in real time during a year that revealed the depths of our society's fissures, provides a wealth of proposals and reflections on what should come after: how we can truly renew our civilization. Breaking Ground has grown into a network of institutions and people that will continue to respond to these ongoing challenges with a deeply Christian and human vision for the future.

Japanese Design Since 1945 by Naomi Pollock Pdf

The first book to present a comprehensive overview of postwar Japanese design For the Japanese, the concept of design is not limited to functionality or materiality--it is deeply connected with ancient culture and rituals. In this sense, a chair is much more than what you sit on, a cup more than what you drink from: these objects are to be reflected upon, to be touched and cherished. As mass manufacture became widespread in the post-war period, fascinating cross-cultural exchanges began to take place between Japan and the West. And in recent years, a new generation of designers has taken Japanese creativity into entirely new territory, reconceptualizing the very meaning of design. Showcasing over 80 designers, hundreds of objects, and contributions from both Japanese and Western designers inspired by Japan, this volume will remain the definitive work on the subject for many years to come.
