Contentious Cities offers unique interdisciplinary approaches to
understanding gendered spatial equity in the urban environment.
Positioning design as a central component in how cities produce,
construct, represent and materialise gendered spatial practices, it
brings together practice and theory to critique, question and
enable solutions that challenge the root causes of gender
inequalities in cities. Through a rich array of case-studies,
practice-led interventions, and historical and theoretical
perspectives, it examines important issues that affect the ways in
which women, and people of diverse gender and sexual identities
experience and participate in cities. Thematically organised, it
considers problems of street-harassment, heterosexualisation and
equity in access and mobility, together with modes of segregation,
isolation and discrimination, as well as processes of resistance,
intervention and agency. Grounded in feminist and queer methods of
analysis, the book offers new insights regarding the representation
of cities, the lived experience of cities, and how design-tactics
and approaches might affect the ways cities shape and regulate how
women and people of diverse gender and sexual identity inhabit,
occupy and move through the city. An examination of the ways in
which design might shift toward safer and more inclusive cities,
Contentious Cities will appeal to scholars of sociology, gender
studies and urban studies, as well as those working in the fields
of urban planning and design.

From cinema’s silent beginnings, fashion and interior design have
been vital to character development and narrative structure.
Despite spectacular technological advancements on screen, stunning
silhouettes and striking spaces still have the ability to dazzle to
dramatic effect. This book is the first to consider the significant
interplay between fashion and interiors and their combined
contribution to cinematic style from early film to the digital age.
With examples from Frank Lloyd Wright inspired architecture in
Hitchcock’s North by Northwest, to Coco Chanel’s costumes for
Gloria Swanson and a Great Gatsby film-set turned Ralph Lauren
flagship, Cinematic Style describes the reciprocal relationship
between these cultural forms. Exposing the bleeding lines between
fashion and interiors in cinematic and real-life contexts, Berry
presents case studies of cinematic styles adopted as brand
identities and design movements promoted through filmic fantasy.
Shedding light on consumer culture, social history and gender
politics as well as on fashion, film and interior design theory,
Cinematic Style considers the leading roles domestic spaces, quaint
cafes, little black dresses and sharp suits have played in 20th and
21st-century film.
Advances in Ophthalmology and Optometry reviews the most current
practices in both ophthalmology and optometry. A distinguished
editorial board, headed by Dr. Myron Yanoff, identifies key areas
of major progress and controversy and invites expert
ophthalmologists and optometrists to contribute original articles
devoted to these topics. Topics covered this volume include, but
are not limited to, technology in the evolution of eye care,
myopia, anti-VEGF medications in retinopathy of prematurity,
current management of retinoblastoma, secondary angle-closure
glaucoma, management of conjunctival bleb leaks, newer therapies
for giant cell arteritis, nystagmus, corneal crosslinking, corneal
inlays for treatment of presbyopia, orbital floor management,
refinements in the conjunctivomullerectomy procedure, emerging
intraocular infections of global significance, and recent advances
in ocular imaging, among others.
Since Charles Fredrick Worth established his luxurious Maison de
Couture in 1858, the interior has played a crucial role in the
display of fashion. House of Fashion provides a full historical
account of the interplay between fashion and the modern interior,
demonstrating how they continue to function as a site for
performing modern, gendered identities for designers and their
clientele alike. In doing so, it traces how designers including
Poiret, Vionnet, Schiaparelli and Dior used commercial spaces and
domestic interiors to enhance their credentials as connoisseurs of
taste and style. Taking us from the early years of haute couture to
the luxury fashion of the present day, Berry explores how the
salon, the atelier and the boutique have allowed fashion to move
beyond the aesthetics of dress, to embrace the visual seduction of
the theatrical, artistic, and the exotic. From the Art Deco allure
of Coco Chanel's Maison to the luminous spaces of contemporary
flagship stores, House of Fashion sets out fashion's links with key
figures in architecture and design, including Louis Sue, Robert
Mallet-Stevens, Eileen Gray, and Jean-Michel Frank. Drawing on
photographs, advertisements, paintings and illustrations, this
interdisciplinary study examines how fashionable interiors have
shaped our understanding of architecture, dress, and elegance.
