Book Description
Bestselling author Sikes, now the “standard bearer of great American design” (Architectural Digest), returns with a new book of fresh yet classic American decorating. AD100 and Elle Decor A-List designer and tastemaker Sikes believes there’s beauty everywhere: all we have to do is look for it. His classic, livable looks are beloved by celebrities and notables from Reese Witherspoon to Dr. Jill Biden, who hired him to redesign her White House office.

In twelve chapters, he shares inspiration and advice from homes he has designed across America and abroad. There is a house for every month of the year, inspired by the seasons, from April’s leafy green Gardens of Versailles–inspired French Chateau-style home outside of Chicago to crisp navy in East Hampton for June, August’s homage to the pink sands in Bermuda, and holiday reds for December’s Swiss-style chalet on a sweeping horse ranch near Sun Valley, Idaho. Throughout, each house features Sikes’s signature touches, inspirational quotes, and tradition updated for today.

Book Description
Pillars of Industrial Democracy explores the politico-philosophic traditions of British Guild Socialism, German Social Democracy, European anarcho-syndicalism and the Gandhian concept of Trusteeship, which have endeavoured in thought and action to make the concept of industrial democracy. It questions the assumptions in the industrial democracy that believe that the needs and aspirations of human beings are the reason for organized efforts in society. The book reviews the history of organizational renewal worldwide and talks about the supportive and collegial models and the results it achieves. Pillars of Industrial Democracy broadens its horizon and talks about both inner and outer democracy, employee engagement and participation and raises the pertinent issue—it is not about every employee voting, but everyone having a vote.

Book Description
Founded in Richmond in 1968, Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) began with a mission to build a university to serve a city emerging from the era of urban crisis—desegregation, white flight, political conflict, and economic decline. With the merger of the Medical College of Virginia and the Richmond Professional Institute into the single state-mandated institution of VCU, the two entities were able to embrace their mission and work together productively. In Fulfilling the Promise, John Kneebone and Eugene Trani tell the intriguing story of VCU and the context in which the university was forged and eventually thrived. Although VCU’s history is necessarily unique, Kneebone and Trani show how the issues shaping it are common to many urban institutions, from engaging with two-party politics in Virginia and African American political leadership in Richmond, to fraught neighborhood relations, the complexities of providing public health care at an academic health center, and an increasingly diverse student body. As a result, Fulfilling the Promise offers far more than a stale institutional saga. Rather, this definitive history of one urban-setting state university illuminates the past and future of American public higher education in the post-1960s era.
