Sinossi

"Barrier-Free Cities" explores how urban environments can be intentionally designed to ensure equitable access for all citizens, regardless of ability. It argues that accessibility should be a proactive design philosophy, not just regulatory compliance. The book highlights the importance of universal design principles, benefiting not only individuals with disabilities but also the elderly and families with young children. Creating inclusive urban spaces can foster a more equitable and vibrant social structure. 

 
The book progresses through key themes, including accessible transportation systems, public facilities, and housing adaptations. Case studies from around the world showcase innovative solutions, such as tactile paving and adaptable housing. The historical and social context of the accessibility movement is examined, including the impact of legislation like the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). It uniquely integrates knowledge from architecture, urban planning, and social science, offering practical design solutions for creating more inclusive urban environments.

    Few things frightened conservative white Protestant parents of the 1950s and the 1960s more than thought of their children falling prey to the "menace to Christendom" known as rock and roll. The raucous sounds of Elvis Presley and Little Richard seemed tailor-made to destroy the faith of their young and, in the process, undermine the moral foundations of the United States. Parents and pastors launched a crusade against rock music, but they were fighting an uphill battle. 
     
     
     
    Salvation came in a most unlikely form. When a revival swept through counterculture hippie communities of the West Coast in the 1960s and 1970s a new alternative emerged. Known as the Jesus Movement—and its members, more colloquially, as "Jesus freaks"—the revival was short-lived. But by combining the rock and folk music of the counterculture with religious ideas and aims of conservative white evangelicals, Jesus freaks and evangelical media moguls gave birth to an entire genre known as Contemporary Christian Music (CCM). 
     
      
     
    In this book, Leah Payne traces the history and trajectory of CCM in America and, in the process, demonstrates how the industry, its artists, and its fans shaped—and continue to shape—conservative, (mostly) white, evangelical Protestantism.

    A Gentleman Gets Dressed Up is not a book about style—it is a book about the rules—rules that will allow any man to feel more comfortable in the choices he makes about what he wears. 
    Let’s get one thing straight. Clothes do not make the man . . . but they do make a difference. And regardless of whether we like the idea of appearances driving impressions, a man’s exterior often is perceived as an indicator of what’s happening on the interior. 
    Fortunately, tasteful and appropriate dressing doesn’t require inordinate amounts of time or money. Any man can hit the door in fine shape with only a little forethought and a bit of attention to a few guidelines. Never mind the heady cologne and designer labels. With a navy blazer, a good bar of soap, and a regular haircut regimen, he’ll be well on his way to becoming the guy who knows exactly how to suit up, regardless of the occasion. Most important, A Gentleman Gets Dressed Up illustrates how a man’s natural confidence and personality are the best foundation for any wardrobe. 
    Accompanying charts and visual examples are included in the accompanying PDF.
