Seven Rooms brings together highlights from Hotel, a magazine for
new approaches to fiction, non-fiction & poetry which, since
its inception in 2016, provided a space for experimental reflection
on literature's status as art & cultural mediator. Co-published
by Tenement Press and Prototype, this anthology captures, refracts,
and reflects a vital moment in independent publishing in the UK,
and is built on the shared values of openness, collaboration, and
total creative freedom.
Unlocking the Sky tells the extraordinary tale of the race to design, refine, and manufacture a manned flying machine, a race that took place in the air, on the ground, and in the courtrooms of America. While the Wright brothers threw a veil of secrecy over their flying machine, Glenn Hammond Curtiss -- perhaps the greatest aviator and aeronautical inventor of all time -- freely exchanged information with engineers in America and abroad, resulting in his famous airplane, the June Bug, which made the first ever public flight in America. Fiercely jealous, the Wright brothers took to the courts to keep Curtiss and his airplane out of the sky and off the market. Ultimately, however, it was Curtiss's innovations and designs, not the Wright brothers', that served as the model for the modern airplane.

In 2019, the NFL issued a list of football's one hundred greatest
game-changers, and among the legendary athletes and coaches was one
broadcaster: Phyllis George. The first female anchor of a major
network sports show, George broke the glass ceiling in sports
journalism and embodied the complexities of the women's movement of
the 1970s. As a young woman, George first hit the media radar in
1971 when she won the crown of Miss America and toured the world.
While many in the budding feminist movement looked down on the
pageant queen, George parlayed her success into a television career
and excelled in sports journalism. While she was not immune to
criticism, George was never deterred by the complainants and
constantly showed her inner strength and perseverance. Through the
decades she cultivated a reputation as one of the most respected
and strong-willed players in the rough and tumble businesses of
sports and network news, breaking through the glass ceiling in one
of the most male-driven industries in the world. She was a pioneer
who helped pave the way for a new generation of female
broadcasters. A published author in her own right and champion of
the arts, George remained a stalwart advocate for female
empowerment until her death in 2020. In Phyllis George: Shattering
the Ceiling authors Lenny Shulman and Paul Volponi trace George's
evolution from Miss America to professional broadcaster, to arts
advocate, author, philanthropist, and also as First Lady of
Kentucky who was instrumental in getting her husband, John Y. Brown
Jr., elected Governor of that state. George's life was defined by
her professionalism, her strength of character, and her uncanny
ability to leave an indelible impression on all she met.

The Case Study House program (1945-66) was an exceptional,
innovative event in the history of American architecture and
remains to this day unique. The program, which concentrated on the
Los Angeles area and oversaw the design of 36 prototype homes,
sought to make available plans for modern residences that could be
easily and cheaply constructed during the postwar building boom.
The program's chief motivating force was Arts & Architecture
editor John Entenza, a champion of modernism who had all the right
connections to attract some of architecture's greatest talents,
such as Richard Neutra, Charles and Ray Eames, and Eero Saarinen.
Highly experimental, the program generated houses that were
designed to redefine the modern home, and thus had a pronounced
influence on architecture-American and international-both during
the program's existence and even to this day. TASCHEN brings you a
monumental retrospective of the entire program with comprehensive
documentation, brilliant photographs from the period and, for the
houses still in existence, contemporary photos, as well as
extensive floor plans and sketches.
A companion volume to "Diversity in the Classroom," this guide
presents 13 cases designed to help individuals and groups reflect
on teaching. Specifically, it offers the information needed to use
these cases in structured professional development
experiences.
This fine volume celebrates William Schwartz 's lasting
contribution to teaching and scholarship and conveys the power of
his ideas and their relevance to contemporary practice. This volume
serves as a tribute to William Schwartz, whose writings have been a
significant centerpiece in the literature of group work for many
years. The distinguished contributors celebrate his lasting
contribution to teaching and scholarship.

A bold, collaborative vision for combatting the ever-rising cost of
college US colleges and universities have long been the envy of the
world. Institutional autonomy has fostered creativity among
faculty, students, and staff. But this autonomy means that colleges
tend to create their own solutions for every need. As a result,
higher education suffers from costly redundancies that drive
tuitions ever upward, putting higher education, essential to the
fabric of the country, at risk. Instead of wishful thinking about
collaboration or miraculous subsidies, The Synthetic University
describes intermediary organizations that can provide innovative,
cost-effective solutions. Offering answers to challenges jointly
faced by thousands of institutions, James Shulman lays out a
compelling new vision of how to reduce spending while enabling
schools to maintain their particular contributions. He explains why
colleges are so resistant to change and presents illuminating case
studies of mission-driven and market-supported entrepreneurial
organizations—such as the student tracking infrastructure of the
National Student Clearinghouse or the ambitious effort of classics
professors to create a shared transinstitutional department. Mixing
theory with lessons drawn from his own experience, he demonstrates
how to finance and implement the organizations that can synthesize
much-needed solutions. A road map for sustained institutional
change, The Synthetic University shows how to overcome colleges’
do-it-yourself impulses, avoid the threat of disruption, and
preserve the institutions that we need to conduct basic research,
foster innovation, and prepare diverse students to lead meaningful
and productive lives.
Mathematics instructors are always looking for ways to engage
students in meaningful and authentic tasks that utilize
mathematics. At the same time, it is crucial for a democratic
society to have a citizenry who can critically discriminate between
"fake" and reliable news reports involving numeracy and apply
numerical literacy to local and global issues. This book contains
examples of topics linking math and social justice and addresses
both goals. There is a broad range of mathematics used, including
statistical methods, modeling, calculus, and basic algebra. The
range of social issues is also diverse, including racial injustice,
mass incarceration, income inequality, and environmental justice.
There are lesson plans appropriate in many contexts:
service-learning courses, quantitative literacy/reasoning courses,
introductory courses, and classes for math majors. What makes this
book unique and timely is that the most previous curricula linking
math and social justice have been treated from a humanist
perspective. This book is written by mathematicians, for
mathematics students. Admittedly, it can be intimidating for
instructors trained in quantitative methods to venture into the
arena of social dilemmas. This volume provides encouragement,
support, and a treasure trove of ideas to get you started. The
chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue
of the journal, PRIMUS: Problems, Resources, and Issues in
Mathematics Undergraduate Studies.
With just under a thousand portraits of Queen Elizabeth II, the
National Portrait Gallery boasts some of the most treasured and
famous official portraits of the Queen captured at key historic
moments, as well as day-to-day images of the monarch at home and
with family, following her journey from childhood, to princess and
Queen, mother and grandmother. This publication highlights the most
important portraits of Elizabeth II from the Gallery's Collection.
Paintings and photographs from the birth of Elizabeth II to the
present will take readers on a visual journey through the life of
Britain's foremost icon. The book will reflect on the Queen's life,
presenting family photographs alongside important formal portraits
to explore how, as her reign became record-breaking, she became an
iconic figure in modern British culture and history. The
publication features works by key artists depicting the Queen from
1926 to the present day, including Baron, Cecil Beaton, Dorothy
Wilding, Patrick Lichfield, Andy Warhol, Annie Leibovitz and David
Bailey. This book features an introductory essay by Alexandra
Shulman, exploring how the collected portraits depict the Queen
throughout her life and reign, and a timeline of key historical
events and moments from Elizabeth II's life.
*** 'Warm, thought-provoking and honest.' - Victoria Hislop
'Clever, emotionally intelligent, revelling in style without making
us yearn to shop.' - The Times 'Self-deprecating and stylish, this
is sure to become a classic.' - Vanity Fair 'Thoughtful, wry and
candid.' - Mail on Sunday 'A must-read memoir for even those beyond
the fashion set.' - Evening Standard 'It's funny, honest and in
typical Shulman style mixes high and low effortlessly. We don't
know many people who can write about bras, Donald Tusk and
Madeleine Albright all in the same sentence.' - A Little Bird
'Scintillating reading.' - The Spectator 'Alexandra Shulman's style
is unaffected, immediate and hilariously dry. She's brilliant at
observing everyday feelings in a joy-sparking turn of phrase.' -
Helena Bonham Carter - 'Clothes... and other things that matter is
a book not only about clothes but about the way we live our lives.
From childhood onwards, the way we dress is a result of our
personal history. In a mix of memoir, fashion history and social
observation I am writing about the person our clothes allows us to
be and sometimes the person they turn us into.' - Alexandra Shulman
In Clothes... and other things that matter, Alexandra Shulman
delves into her own life to look at the emotions, ambitions,
expectations and meanings behind the way we dress. From the bra to
the bikini, the trench coat to trainers, the slip dress to the
suit, she explores their meaning in women's lives and how our
wardrobes intersect with the larger world - the career ladder,
motherhood, romance, sexual identity, ambition, failure, body image
and celebrity. By turns funny, refreshingly self-deprecating and
often very moving, this startlingly honest memoir from the
ex-Editor of British Vogue will encourage women of all ages to
consider what their own clothes mean to them, the life they live in
them and the stories they tell.
In this book, Marshall D. Shulman emphasizes that an analysis of
Soviet foreign policy during the closing years of Stalin's life
from the perspective of the present calls into question many common
assumptions about the character of that policy.
So, your child is a high school junior. You've heard other parents
with kids older than yours whisper the word "college" like it was a
terminal disease. You've seen their taut, maniacal grins as they
try to hold it together. The process of weathering and conquering
the college admissions process with a teenager is a daunting affair
for many. Advice will pour in through friends, your child's
guidance counselor, and your mother's neighbor's cousin.
Thankfully, Jill Margaret Shulman, a college admissions coach,
application evaluator, college writing instructor, essayist,
author, and empathetic parent, is here to be your fiercest ally.
She'll guide you through the entire crazy ritual that college
admissions has become, month by month, breath by deep, cleansing
breath, until you drop your kid off at college where she will
ignore your phone calls and texts. Come as you are -- whether chill
or roiling with anxiety -- and Shulman, along with a platoon of
experts and fellow parents, will help you maintain your strength
and sense of self-worth, so easily lost somewhere between your
teenager's screaming, "I hate you! You're ruining my life!" and
typing your credit card number into the College Board's website for
the twentieth time. You've got college admissions cracked, and now,
this book has got your back.
The understanding and study of fathers has traditionally assumed
that fathers, compared to mothers, are less involved with their
children. Originally published in 1997 Fathers and Adolescents
presents a different approach that focuses on the distinctive role
of fathers in the lives of their adolescents, especially in their
role in adolescents' attainment of developmental tasks. Drawing on
a variety of disciplines, the authors' examine the relationships of
fathers to their adolescents in the context of a changing society.
They find that fathers interact in ways that are different from
those of mothers, but that are important for both normal and
disturbed adolescent development. Psychopathological, aggressive
and incestuous behaviour is considered as well as the role of the
father in more ideal circumstances. Drawing on the authors' wealth
of clinical experience, this title will still be an important
resource for all professionals working with adolescents, as well as
those in research.
Immigration has significant consequences for all Americans, but
especially for African Americans.aThe sheer magnitude of
immigration--it is the primary factor driving population growth--is
so large that it directly or indirectly affects the economic,
political, social, and environmental circumstances of most
Americans.aBut the geographic concentration of immigrants in urban
areas, and the economic concentration of immigrants in the low-wage
sector of the labor market, have special consequences for African
Americans since they are especially likely to live in urban areas
and to be low-wage workers.These effects can be both negative and
positive. Immigration has sharply increased the supply of labor
into the low-wage sector of the labor market, which tends to reduce
wages and employment opportunities for low-wage native workers.
Employers may prefer hiring immigrants, who are perceived to be
hard working and uncomplaining, to hiring African Americans.
Immigrants can also increase the competition for scarce public
services (especially education) on which African Americans depend.
Yet immigration can also stimulate economic growth and urban
revitalization, which can increase job opportunities and spread an
ideology of multiculturalism. Immigration can dilute the political
power of African Americans, but it can also strengthen the civil
rights coalition. Immigration can benefit some groups while hurting
others.This volume presents research and analysis that reflects and
advances the debates about the economic and political consequences
of immigration for African Americans. The contributors include
Gerald Jaynes (Yale University), Vernon Briggs (Cornell
University), Frank Bean and Jennifer Lee (University of California,
Irvine), Robert Cherry (Brooklyn College), Manuel Pastor
(University of California, Santa Cruz) and Enrique Marcelli
(University of Massachusetts, Boston), Steven Camarota (Center for
Immigration Studies), Frank Morris (University of Texas, Dallas),
Steven Shulman (Colorado State University) and Hannes Johannsson
(Office of the Comptroller of the Currency), and Lisa Catanzarite
(University of California, Los Angeles).
This book contributes to the public discussion of policy issues by
making available to readers some of the information and insights
which have resulted from the work of many scholars in Soviet
affairs.
This book is concerned with whether we can develop our
understanding of the mind through the application of new approaches
to the study of complex systems. It is divided into two sections.
The first is concerned with the application of non-linear systems
theory to the psychoanalytic study of the mind. The second is
concerned with the technical application of the ideas of chaos
theory to the understanding of therapeutic action and psychic
change. It concludes with a consideration of the research and
clinical implications of considering the mind as a non-linear
system.
Michael Paul Rogin's scholarship profoundly altered the scope,
content, and disposition of political theory. He reconstituted the
field by opening it to an array of texts, performances, and methods
previously considered beyond the purview of the discipline. His
work addressed the relationship between dimensions of politics
typically split apart - institutional power and cultural forms,
material interests and symbolic meanings, class projects and
identity politics, the public and the private. Rogin's scholarship
enlarges our sense of the borders and genres defining political
theory as a field and enriches our capacity to think critically and
creatively about the political. The editors have focused on three
categories of substantive innovation: Demonology and
Countersubversion Rogin used the concepts "countersubversive
tradition" and "political demonology" to theorize how constitutive
exclusions and charged images of otherness generated imagined
national community. He exposed not only the dynamics of suppressing
and delegitimizing political opposition, but also how politics
itself is devalued and displaced. The Psychic Life of Liberal
Society Rogin addressed the essential contradiction in liberalism
as both an ideology and a regime - how a polity professing
equality, liberty, and pluralist toleration engages in genocide,
slavery, and imperial war. Political Mediation: Institutions and
Culture Rogin demonstrated how cultural forms - pervasive myths,
literary and cinematic works - mediate political life, and how
political institutions mediate cultural energies and aspirations.
