Fashion Education explores how the classroom can transform the
fashion industry towards body inclusion and social justice. The
book is a collection of 16 essays by fashion educators from
Australia, Canada, the US and the UK who recount their experiences,
struggles and strategies of reimagining the exclusive foundation of
fashion pedagogy and redesigning fashion curricula to centre
Indigenous, Black, brown, fat, disabled, trans and queer
worldviews, histories and bodies. This is the first book to explore
the relationships between fashion pedagogy and social justice, and
to map out new pedagogical frameworks and tools to redistribute
power through fashion education. It shares the teaching practices
of fashion educators implementing radical pedagogies and offers
practical case studies that engage with a number of intersectional
positions. Fashion Education engages with current pressing concerns
for educators and is a valuable teaching resource for fashion
educators – both theory and practice – working in art and
design schools in Europe, the US and the UK. With chapters
covering fashion theory, history, business, communication and
design curricula to centre Indigenous, Black, brown, fat, disabled,
trans, queer worldviews, histories and peoples it will appeal
directly to the many disciplines within fashion. The discussions
are also relevant to educators in other art, design and creative
fields also looking to centre inclusion in their courses and the
strategies presented will apply to them. Contributions from Tanveer

In 1992 Bosnia descended into a savage and bitter civil war, which
by 1995 had claimed over a quarter of a million lives. Following
the Dayton Peace Agreement between the warring Bosnian Serbs,
Muslims and Croats, NATO began its first land operation, taking
over from the UN Protection Force. With a total of only 200 men, a
British battlegroup was charged to enforce the peace in a 100km
area, through which wound a front line separating the territory of
the Bosnian Muslims from that of the Bosnian Serb forces. In this
updated edition of the acclaimed book A Cold War, Brigadier Ben
Barry has produced the definitive account of the British Army's
dangerous and groundbreaking operations in Bosnia.
SHORTLISTED FOR THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON MEDAL FOR MILITARY HISTORY
2021, THE BRITISH ARMY BOOK OF THE YEAR 2021, AS A FINALIST FOR THE
2020 ARMY HISTORICAL FOUNDATION DISTINGUISHED WRITING AWARDS. FIRST
RUNNER UP IN THE TEMPLER MEDAL BOOK PRIZE 2021. 'With a soldier's
eye for telling operational details, Ben Barry offers an
authoritative, compelling and inevitably bleak account of the
American and British campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan.' Sir
Lawrence Freedman, Emeritus Professor of War Studies, King's
College London Newly revised and updated with in-depth analysis of
the current situation in Afghanistan after American withdrawal,
Blood, Metal and Dust is an authoritative account of how the wars
in Iraq and Afghanistan were played out, explaining their
underlying politics and telling the story of what happened on the
ground. From the high-ranking officer who wrote the
still-classified British military analysis of the war in Iraq comes
the authoritative history of two conflicts which have overshadowed
the beginning of the 21st century. Inextricably linked to the
ongoing 'War on Terror', the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan dominated
more than a decade of international politics, and their influence
is felt to this day. Blood, Metal and Dust is the first military
history to offer a comprehensive overview of the wars in
Afghanistan and Iraq, providing in-depth accounts of the operations
undertaken by both US and UK forces. Brigadier Ben Barry explores
the wars which shaped the modern Middle East, providing a detailed
narrative of operations as they unfolded. With unparalleled access
to official military accounts and extensive contacts in both the UK
and the US militaries, Brigadier Barry is uniquely placed to tell
the story of these controversial conflicts, and offers a rounded
account of the international campaigns which irrevocably changed
the global geopolitical landscape.
This volume presents a collection of the most recent knowledge on
the relationship between gender and fashion in historical and
contemporary contexts. Through fourteen essays divided into three
segments - how dress creates, disrupts and transcends gender - the
chapters investigate gender issues through the lens of fashion.
Crossing Gender Boundaries first examines how clothing has been,
and continues to be, used to create and maintain the binary gender
division that has come to permeate Western and westernized
cultures. Next, it explores how dress can be used to contest and
subvert binary gender expectations, before a final section that
considers the meaning of gender and how dress can transcend it,
focusing on unisex and genderless clothing. The essays consider how
fashion can both constrict and free gender expression, explore the
ways dress and gender are products of one other and illuminate the
construction of gender through social norms. Readers will find that
through analysis of the relationship between gender and fashion,
they gain a better understanding of the world around them.

The recent Afghanistan and Iraq wars were very controversial. The
conflicts' casualties, intractability and the apparent failure of
the US and its allies to achieve their objectives mean that many
see the wars as failures. This resulted in a loss of confidence in
the West of the utility of force as an instrument of state power.
Both wars have been well described by journalists. There is no
shortage of memoirs. But there is little discussion of how the
conduct of these wars and capabilities of the forces involved
changed and evolved, and of the implications of these developments
for future warfare. This book gives readers a clear understanding
of the military character dynamics of both wars and how these
changed between 2001 and 2014. This includes the strategy,
operations, tactics and technology of the forces of the US and its
allies, Afghan and Iraqi government forces as well as insurgents
and militias, showing how they evolved over time. Many of these
developments have wider relevance to future conflicts. The book
identifies those that are of potential wider application to US,
NATO and other western forces, to insurgents, as well as to forces
of states that might choose to confront the west militarily.
