Noted architect Thomas Kligerman celebrates the magic of summer, exploring the seaside setting and design of secluded cottages facing the Atlantic along the Rhode Island coastSummer by the Sea is the first book to focus on the seaside cottages of Rhode Island, the birthplace of the shingle style, lauded as the 'architecture of the American summer'. This in-depth tour of seaside communities begins with Watch Hill and moves along the coast, weaving together the history of the state, the evolution of the shingle style, and descriptions of the geology and wildlife that create a unique sense of place.Each chapter explores a different town - Watch Hill, Weekapaug, Haversham, Block Island, Saunderstown, Jamestown, Middletown, Little Compton - capturing landscape and seascape and studying both historic and contemporary shingle style designs.Featured are works by 19th century masters Calvert Vaux and Charles L. Bevins, new houses by Jens Risom, Gil Schafer, and Peter Bohlin, and vernacular cottages by unknown builders that have descended through generations of the same family. The most recent is Tom Kligerman's own house in Weekapaug, a gabled, shingled form that he describes as 'an architectural madeleine for my family,' evoking the sounds and scents of his own boyhood summers by the sea.Lush photographs specially taken for the book by Read McKendree capture the spirit of the place - interiors filled with personal histories, generous, inviting porches, and views out over meadows and ponds to the Atlantic beyond. Tom Kligerman's own photographs of beaches, harbours, and houses- views taken while biking along narrow roads and sandy paths - complete the portrait of this special summer world.

A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press's Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. This wide-ranging intellectual and media history traces China's emergence as a modern state in which boundaries blur between art and design, education and psychological conditioning. Tracking the parallel development of set design and social engineering from the 1920s to the 1960s, Background Matters examines the concept of huanjing (environment), a neologism introduced at the turn of the twentieth century that evoked heated intellectual debates and inspired frenzied aesthetic experimentation. Weihong Bao shows how efforts to reshape the mind consolidated the idea and art of environment by advancing a new theoretical notion of set design: both as aesthetic organization across film, theater, radio, and television and as social experimentation in worldmaking across geopolitical and transnational contexts. Inventive and breathtaking in scope, this book radically rethinks environment not as an external object but as the nexus of mind, medium, and society.

This book is the first monograph exclusively addressing the dual agricultural economy, which is characterized by the coexistence of modern and traditional agriculture. The work presented here transcends the fragmented nature of prior research in this field and is dedicated to offering systematic solutions to related issues. The dual agricultural economy represents a distinctive stage in the modernization process of developing countries, exhibiting numerous differences from the conventional urban-rural dual economy, particularly in labor transfer mechanisms and the effectiveness of economic policies. Focusing on the patterns of labor mobility between urban and rural areas as well as within rural regions at this stage, the book begins by examining characteristic features of China's dual agricultural economy. It investigates the theoretical mechanisms underlying intra-rural labor transfer and, through integration with contemporary Chinese rural policy practices, provides a systematic analysis of the dual agricultural economic structure. Empirical validation is conducted using Chinese data, covering multiple dimensions such as urban unemployment, subsidy policies, employee training, wage gaps, and environmental protection. Notably, the book introduces an innovative mechanism for intra-rural labor transfer that moves beyond the applicability constraints of traditional models such as the Harris-Todaro framework, demonstrating effectiveness even in complex real-world contexts.

This book reimagines plastics before they become waste to show how creative interventions open pathways for action, understanding, and change.Drawing on ethnographic insight and real-world experience from participatory artmaking, creative workshops, fieldtrips, and beach cleans, the book offers a fresh, accessible way to think about power, plastics, spectacle, and science. Ideal for anyone wondering what can be done to shift public thinking on plastics, it provides critical perspective and hands-on inspiration, highlighting the importance of working with and learning from existing grassroots initiatives. The book is for people who seek to build public understanding and collective momentum around the plastics challenge. It is written for readers interested in interpreting science in accessible ways and turning concern into community action.Plastics: Creative Solutions will appeal to environmental advocates, community organisers, and scientists, as well as scholars and students in Anthropology, Cultural Studies, Geography, Science and Technology Studies (STS), and Materials Studies. By bridging critical reflection and practical engagement, it speaks to both practitioners and researchers who want to work collaboratively to build meaningful, locally grounded responses to plastics

Cultural Economics & the Creative Economy

This edited volume presents an innovative approach to the relationship between cultural heritage and sustainable development, focusing on geographic factors and spatial economic analysis. Focusing on Italian case studies, the book unpacks various opportunities and challenges and explores how promoting and defending cultural heritage at the regional and national levels can in turn foster sustainable development.Chapters consider both tangible and intangible aspects of the cultural supply, such as museums and festivals, and investigate specific issues relevant to sustainability, from the role of networks on museums’ performance in remote areas to the effects of climate change on heritage sites. The book also pays special attention to the role of tourism, the various factors that impact tourist numbers, as well as how negative impacts can be mitigated. Several chapters focus on social capital and the importance of civic engagement and belonging in encouraging sustainable economic growth. This book will be of interest to scholars and students in a range of fields, including cultural economics, regional economics, economic geography, heritage studies and those working on sustainability more broadly.Silvia Cerisola

The challenges leaders face today are bigger than any one of them.Leaders today face wicked problems that are difficult or impossible to solve alone. The future of leadership is collective, and the future of coaching involves initiating group coaching at the most senior levels.Developing Collective Leaders shows why we need leaders to work collectively, how group coaching can support their development and what holds organizations and individuals back from investing in it. It also explains in detail how to set up and deliver a group coaching programme for leaders, including a group coaching framework and step-by-step guide, as well as practical strategies for overcoming resistance.Dr Ruth Simpsons's research into group coaching involved a forensic examination of practice informed by 25 years' experience enabling leaders to adapt to change. The result is a thorough and practical guide for coaches who need to coach leaders in groups.Because if leaders are to address the multifaceted challenges facing them and their organizations today, they need coaches equipped to help.<ul> <li>Addresses how to identify and overcome objections associated with coaching leaders in groups at work.</li> <li>Includes a framework for coaching leaders in groups based upon meeting their psychological needs.</li> <li>Companion online resources - templates, tools, checklists and references to support implementation.</li> </ul>

A sobering investigation of the rush for lithium for electric vehicles, the problematic history of lithium mining, and the consequences for sustainability. Consumers today are buying electric vehicles with lithium-ion batteries motivated by the belief that they are doing good and decarbonizing society. But is sustainable lithium extraction possible? In Living Minerals, Javiera Barandiarán examines the history of lithium mining and uses during the twentieth century, with a specific focus on the two oldest brine-lithium mines: Silver Peak, Nevada, and Salar de Atacama, Chile, where lithium is found as one more element in a liquid mix of salts, minerals, and organisms. For six decades, mining experts have failed to ask about water usage, about waste or brine leakage, and about the ecosystem impacts in delicate deserts. Instead, they have relied on various fictions about the size of reserves, the fate of leaked brine, or the value of waste in facilitating mine development. These fictions, rooted in brine-lithium’s material qualities, could be sustained thanks to powerful mining memories that celebrated resource nationalism. Unique in its historical and multidimensional approach to minerals and mining, based on the novel Rights of Nature paradigm, and using new archival materials from both Chile and the US, the book argues that decarbonizing society requires that we reckon with these realities—or risk deepening our dependency on an unsustainable mining industry.
