3D Printing for Product Designers closes the gap between the
rhetoric of 3D printing in manufacturing and the reality for
product designers. It provides practical strategies to support the
adoption and integration of 3D printing into professional practice.
3D printing has evolved over the last decade into a practical
proposition for manufacturing, opening up innovative opportunities
for product designers. From its foundations in rapid prototyping,
additive manufacturing has developed into a range of technologies
suitable for end-use products. This book shows you how to evaluate
and sensitively understand people, process, and products and
demonstrates how solutions for working with additive manufacturing
can be developed in context. It includes a practical, step-by-step
plan for product designers and CEOs aimed at supporting the
successful implementation of 3D printing by stakeholders at all
levels of a manufacturing facility, tailored to their stage of
technology integration and business readiness. It features a wide
range of real-world examples of practice illustrated in full
colour, across industries such as healthcare, construction, and
film, aligning with the strategic approach outlined in the book.
The book can be followed chronologically to guide you to transform
your process for a company, to meet the unique needs of a specific
client, or to be used as a starting point for the product design
entrepreneur. Written by experienced industry professionals and
academics, this is a fundamental reference for product designers,
industrial designers, design engineers, CEOs, consultants, and
makers.

the American Sociological Association, Sociology of Emotions
Section
"Lois takes readers inside the social world of search and rescue
volunteers, offering sociological insight into topics such as
gender, emotions, and indentity."
-- "American Journal of Sociology"
""Heroic Efforts" began as a dissertation, but ends as one of
the best book on emotions I have read in years. If you want a
glimpse into the power of really good ethnography and the reason we
need both qualitative and quantitative research, this book will
provide you with both enertainment and sagacity."
--"Contemporary Sociology"
"[Lois] examines how rescuers construct meaning in their lives
and define themselves through their risky, demanding work."
--"Seattle Times"
Many search and rescue workers voluntarily interrupt their lives
when they are called upon to help strangers. They awake in the
middle of the night to cover miles of terrain in search of lost
hikers or leave work to search potential avalanche zones for
missing skiers, snowboarders, and snowmobilers in blizzard
conditions. They often put their own lives in danger to rescue
stranded, hypothermic kayakers and rafters from rivers.
Drawing on six years of participant observation and in-depth
interviews, Jennifer Lois examines the emotional subculture of
"Peak," a volunteer mountain-environment search and rescue team.
Rescuers were not only confronted by physical dangers, but also by
emotional challenges, including both keeping their own emotions in
check during crisis situations, and managing the emotions of
others, suchas those they were rescuing. Lois examines how rescuers
constructed meaning in their lives and defined themselves through
their heroic work.
Heroic Efforts serves as an easy to understand sociological
introduction to the ways emotions develop and connect us to our
surroundings, as well as to the links between the concept of
heroism and other sociological theories such as those on gender
stereotypes and edgework.
Explores the experiences of homeschooling mothers Mothers who
homeschool their children constantly face judgmental questions
about their choices, and yet the homeschooling movement continues
to grow with an estimated 1.5 million American children now
schooled at home. These children are largely taught by stay-at-home
mothers who find that they must tightly manage their daily
schedules to avoid burnout and maximize their relationships with
their children, and that they must sustain a desire to sacrifice
their independent selves for many years in order to savor the
experience of motherhood. Home Is Where the School Is is the first
comprehensive look into the lives of homeschooling mothers. Drawing
on rich data collected through eight years of fieldwork and dozens
of in-depth interviews, Jennifer Lois examines the intense effects
of the emotional and temporal demands that homeschooling places on
mothers’ lives, raising profound questions about the expectations
of modern motherhood and the limits of parenting.
