A smartly designed and beautifully illustrated look at the life and
work of an elusive and influential designer and architect Eileen
Gray (1878-1976) was a versatile designer and architect who
navigated numerous literary and artistic circles over the course of
her life. This handsome volume chronicles Gray's career as a
designer, architect, painter, and photographer. The book's essays,
featuring copious new research, offer in-depth analysis of more
than 50 individual designs and architectural projects, accompanied
by both period and new photographs. Born in Ireland and educated in
London, Gray proceeded to Paris where she opened a textile studio,
studied the Japanese craft of lacquer that would become a primary
technique in her design work, and owned and directed the
influential gallery and store known as "Jean Desert." Gray
struggled for acceptance as a largely self-taught woman in
male-dominated professions. Although she is now best known for her
furniture, lighting, and carpets, she dedicated herself to many
architectural and interior projects that were both personal and
socially driven, including the Villa E 1027, the iconic modern
house designed with Jean Badovici, as well as economical and
demountable projects, such as the Camping Tent. Published in
association with the Bard Graduate Center Exhibition Schedule: Bard

Following the success of previous edition, Early Vascular Aging
(EVA), Second Edition, continues to be the most comprehensive and
authoritative resource on the premature alterations in artery
structure and function.The book presents a novel approach to the
problem of cardiovascular disease, showing it in relation to great
vessels disease and revealing a comprehensive approach to the
problem of increased rigidity of the great vessels, its causes, and
further consequences. This second edition contains completely
updated content with expanded coverage of basic and translational
research, systematic reviews of the most prominent literature,
discussion of applicability of new evidence and more.Written by an
international team of clinicians and researchers, this is a
valuable resource to basic and translational scientists, clinical
researchers and clinicians in the cardiovascular field interested
in prevention, diagnosis and treatment of EVA.
Early Vascular Aging (EVA): New Directions in Cardiovascular
Protection brings together the last decade of research related to
the characterization of EVA as well as the predictive power of
pulse wave velocity (PWV). The book presents a novel approach to
the problem of cardiovascular disease, showing it in relation to
great vessels disease, revealing a comprehensive approach to the
problem of increase rigidity of the great vessels, its causes and
consequences.
Introduces the latest information on early vascular aging (EVA),
complete with summaries of recent evidence and guidelines for
relevant risk factor control. Contains all the relevant information
available from different fields of knowledge (from basic biology to
epidemiology) in regard to EVA. Provides evidence that leads to a
new target for interventions - early vascular ageing (EVA) in
subjects with early onset increased arterial stiffness.Includes
online access to a supplemental website with video clips of
anatomic specimens, cardiac imaging, and surgical procedures.
