The New Designer
Author: Manuel Lima
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262373017
Category : Design
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
How to develop an ethical design practice and build a better world. The choices made by designers have a significant effect on the world. Yet so much of the discourse on design focuses on aesthetics rather than ethics. In The New Designer, acclaimed author Manuel Lima aims to change this by challenging common myths and preconceptions about what comprises good design. He argues that designers must take responsibility for the personal, societal, cultural, and environmental impact of their work, rather than simply following a standard template. As he covers fields ranging from graphic design to industrial design to user-experience design, Lima identifies the major steps that designers must take to be a force for good in the world. Rather than sticking to outmoded ideas about perfectionism and individual genius, designers must work together to tackle some of the most challenging questions of the twenty-first century. How do you make room for humanity, with all its wondrous variations, in a society increasingly driven by metrics, algorithms, and profit? How can ecologically responsible designers consider a product’s entire life cycle and look well into the future? And how can designers better respond to a community’s local needs while taking advantage of global networks? Blending approaches derived from ethics, psychology, economics, and ecology, The New Designer is a vital, field-changing treatise that will appeal to any reader who seeks to understand design’s massive influence on the contemporary world.

The Working Homemaker
Author: Charity Gibson
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN:
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
Homemaking is about values and priorities rather than job status. It’s time to ditch the notion that women who work outside the home are not homemakers and redefine homemaking as nurturing relationships and cultivating a lifestyle that allows for flourishing within the home (as well as eventually extending beyond). Working Christian mamas can nurture thriving homelives for their families by cultivating relationships, setting healthy routines, and embracing simplicity to practice kingdom living. A woman’s homelife and work life can be molded to honor God, our families, and our employers when homemaking is valued and prioritized. The Working Homemaker encourages countercultural simplicity, relationships, healthy household rhythms, margin in schedules, and, if possible, work flexibility. Homemaking is not just what we do at home but also the choices we make regarding being away from home that allow for our time at home to be lifegiving. Who is this book for? •Working moms •Moms who are considering employment •Working women who are considering motherhood •Anyone else who wants to better understand and support working moms

Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
With the increasing focus on the critical importance of mentoring in advancing Black women students from graduation to careers in academia, this book identifies and considers the peer mentoring contexts and conditions that support Black women student success in higher education.

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
Author: Maya Angelou
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 030747772X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Here is a book as joyous and painful, as mysterious and memorable, as childhood itself. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings captures the longing of lonely children, the brute insult of bigotry, and the wonder of words that can make the world right. Maya Angelou’s debut memoir is a modern American classic beloved worldwide. Sent by their mother to live with their devout, self-sufficient grandmother in a small Southern town, Maya and her brother, Bailey, endure the ache of abandonment and the prejudice of the local “powhitetrash.” At eight years old and back at her mother’s side in St. Louis, Maya is attacked by a man many times her age—and has to live with the consequences for a lifetime. Years later, in San Francisco, Maya learns that love for herself, the kindness of others, her own strong spirit, and the ideas of great authors (“I met and fell in love with William Shakespeare”) will allow her to be free instead of imprisoned. Poetic and powerful, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings will touch hearts and change minds for as long as people read. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings liberates the reader into life simply because Maya Angelou confronts her own life with such a moving wonder, such a luminous dignity.”—James Baldwin From the Paperback edition.
