"Spaces for Consumption" offers an in-depth and sophisticated analysis of the processes that underpin the commodification of the city and explains the physical manifestation of consumerism as a way of life. Engaging directly with the social, economic and cultural processes that have resulted in our cities being defined through consumption, this vibrant book clearly demonstrates...(展开全部)

This book provides a clear and wide-ranging overview of consumption as a sociological concept. Arguing that consumption is both an unavoidable part of life and an ongoing dialectical process, it gives a critical assessment of a range of theoretical approaches to the study of consumption and the possibilities these frameworks can offer. Consumption is something we all do. It is ...(展开全部)

The simple home is calm and uncluttered, with each item carefully chosen. Mark and Sally Bailey believe that good design means furniture and decoration that is useful, durable and honest. In the first part of the book, they explore calm Colors, Zen-inspired simplicity, and reclaimed or ethically sourced Materials, while Craft embraces the artisan's skill. Comfort means cozy tex...(展开全部)

In this monograph, p-adic period domains are associated to arbitrary reductive groups. Using the concept of rigid-analytic period maps, the relation of p-adic period domains to moduli space of p-divisible groups is investigated. In addition, non-archimedean uniformization theorems for general Shimura varieties are established. The exposition includes background material on Grot...(展开全部)

The first book in a new series, Pocket Gardens provides design solutions from professional landscape architects for small garden spaces. Landscaped looks that may have seemed possible only in large areas can be achieved on a small terrace or patio, a roof or townhouse garden, or on a small lot-and this book shows readers how. Each garden features a "big idea"-the design solutio...(展开全部)
