Taylor & Francis Sustainable Fashion and Textiles
Book SynopsisPraise for the previous edition:[A] fascinating book. John Thackara, Doors of PerceptionProvides the foundations for a radical new perspective. Ethical PulseAt last a book that dispels the idea that fashion is only interested in trend-driven fluff: not only does it have a brain, but it could be a sustainable one. Lucy Siegle, Crafts MagazineFully revised and updated, the second edition of Sustainable Fashion and Textiles: Design Journeys continues to define the field of design in fashion and textiles. Arranged in two sections, the first four chapters represent key stages of the lifecycle: material cultivation/extraction, production, use and disposal. The remaining four chapters explore design approaches for altering the scale and nature of consumption, including service design, localism, speed and user involvement. While each chapter is complete in and of itself, their real value comes from what they represent together: innovative ways of thinking about textiles and garments based on sustainability values and an interconnected approach to design.Including a new preface, updated content and a new conclusion reflecting and critiquing developments in the field, as well as discussing future developments, the second edition promises to provide further impetus for future change, sealing Sustainable Fashion and Textiles: Design Journeys as the must-buy book for fashion and textiles professionals and students interested in sustainability.Table of ContentsPreface Introduction Part 1: Sustainable Fashion and Textile Products 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Beginning Design Technology
Book SynopsisBeginning Design Technology introduces how design technologies work together, including tools, materials, and software, such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Autodesk AutoCAD, and others. It teaches you how to think about each design tool, whether a software program or physical modelmaking, so that you will select one for its strengths for a specific task and know when and how to combine it with other tools.Topics include working with building information, texturing digital and physical artifacts, translating information from one form or file format to another, constructing at full-scale, and making digital and physical models. Chapter Summaries, exercises, discussion questions, a glossary, an appendix of common software commands, and an annotated bibliography will help you find what you need quickly and put the information into practice.Trade ReviewMike Christenson has done an invaluable service with this book, explaining in clear and concise ways the complete and sometimes confusing array of technologies that beginning design students face in college. He doesn’t just describe these technologies and explain how they work; he also guides the reader in how to think about them and when to use – or not use – them, depending upon the situation. This is a must-have book for every design student just starting out. - Thomas Fisher, University of MinnesotaBeginning Design Technology makes a timely addition to any architecture school library. Unlike the typical 'how-to' introductory textbook, this publication helps architecture students to ask important 'why-to' questions about the use of various digital and analog design tools. - Andrzej Piotrowski, School of Architecture, University of Minnesota Table of ContentsPreface Acknowledgements Introduction 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd (Sales) An Environmental History of the Middle Ages
Book SynopsisThe Middle Ages was a critical and formative time for Western approaches to our natural surroundings. An Environmental History of the Middle Ages is a unique and unprecedented cultural survey of attitudes towards the environment during this period. Humankind's relationship with the environment shifted gradually over time from a predominantly adversarial approach to something more overtly collaborative, until a series of ecological crises in the late Middle Ages. With the advent of shattering events such as the Great Famine and the Black Death, considered efflorescences of the climate downturn known as the Little Ice Age that is comparable to our present global warming predicament, medieval people began to think of and relate to their natural environment in new and more nuanced ways. They now were made to be acutely aware of the consequences of human impacts upon the environment, anticipating the cyclical, new ecology approach of the modern world.Exploring the Trade Review"This environmental history shows that our struggles with climate change, environmental pollution, deforestation, pandemics, and many other aspects of nature are not new. Thanks to this timely book, our future decisions can be informed by what people learned over 1000 years ago." - Joyce E. Salisbury, University of Wisconsin Green Bay, USA"Independent scholar Aberth is a Vermont farmer with a doctorate in medieval history, and he provides information that would enrich any survey course on the European Middle Ages... Recommended. All levels/libraries." - A.C. Reeves, emeritus, Ohio University, CHOICE magazine"Anyone interested in medieval Europe's environmental history must cheer the publication of John Aberth's newest book... It is as tool for historical understanding of environments and particularly their impact on medieval written culture." -Paola Squatriti, University of Michigan, The HistorianIndependent scholar Aberth is a Vermont farmer with a doctorate in medieval history, and he provides information that would enrich any survey course on the European Middle Ages. He writes about academic theories of disease, and thus provides insight into medieval science based on both theory and an experiential understanding of nature. Medieval thinkers wanted explanations for such events as the great famine of 1315-22 and the cycle of plague that began with the Black Death. Most of the examples Aberth provides come from England, supplemented by research from the Continent. The author writes of medieval thinking about the ecology of air, water, the earth, forests, and animals. The subtitle is truly appropriate. The book demonstrates that the medieval approach to nature was not merely a battle for conquest and domination, as with, for example, the systems developed for managing woodlands. The text is supported by endnotes and illustrations. Summing Up: Recommended. All levels/libraries.CHOICE by A. C. Reeves, emeritus, Ohio UniversityTable of ContentsAcknowledgements. Illustrations.
