  Industrial design plays a pivotal role in modern industry by significantly influencing product functionality, aesthetics, user experience, and market competitiveness. One of the primary contributions of industrial design is the enhancement of product functionality and usability. Designers achieve this by thoroughly understanding user needs and behaviors, which allows them to create products that are intuitive and easy to use. This not only boosts customer satisfaction but also reduces the demand for customer support. 
    
  The aesthetic appeal and brand identity of a product are also heavily shaped by industrial design. A well-designed product can greatly enhance a brand’s image and market position, as the integration of form and function results in visually appealing products that stand out. This visual attractiveness is a critical factor in consumer decision-making and fostering brand loyalty. 
    
  Innovation and differentiation are crucial in a competitive market, and industrial designers play a key role here by merging creative thinking with technical expertise. This fusion leads to the development of unique features and functionalities that distinguish products from those of competitors.

  Heels Across a Wooden Floor: A Poem / Song lyrics  
  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086KTZMKP 
  About the eternal pull of love, from a dancing perspective.  
  Imagine walking into a nightclub, and seeing the woman of your dreams skipping across 
  the dance floor; elegantly, with heels that she uses to swivel and cavort in an organic  
  fashion. Enticing you to join, even if you can't dance, at least with your eyes. 
  And to the women, giving over to an abduction of your senses into the realms of the  
  dance, urging you to join in that sensual celebration.

His vivid, emotional paintings captured the attention and admiration of many, even as the artist struggled with mental illness and financial instability. But behind every great artist is often an equally great supporter, and for Vincent Van Gogh, that person was Johanna Bonger. 
  Johanna was more than Vincent's sister-in-law. She was a woman fiercely determined to champion Vincent's work, even when critics and collectors misunderstood or dismissed it. Her unwavering support was essential in preserving Vincent's legacy and securing his place in art.

The book also delves into Vincent's struggles with mental illness and how this impacted his relationships with others, including Johanna. 
  Through the lens of Johanna's story, "The Courage of Johanna Bonger" offers a fresh perspective on Vincent Van Gogh and the enduring impact of his work.

  Extra Salty: Jennifer's Body

  Megan Fox, a diabolic indie rock band, toxic friendship, fluid sexuality, feminist reckoning, and a literal man-eater in the body of a high school cheerleader: Jennifer’s Body has it all 
   
  Featuring an original interview with director Karyn Kusama 
   
  What would be an easy sell in 2021 ― women at the helm (screenwriter Diablo Cody, director Karyn Kusama), a bankable cast (Megan Fox, Amanda Seyfried), and a deceptively complex skewering of gender politics ― was a box office flop in 2009. In Extra Salty, Frederick Blichert flips the script on how Jennifer’s Body was labeled a failure to celebrate all that is scrumptious (as Jennifer would say) about it: supernatural horror, dark comedy, queer love, and a nuanced handling of gendered violence. The movie could have been to the aughts what Heathers was to the eighties, and it’s finally getting its due ― whether in the flood of tenth-anniversary praise, the parade of Jennifer Halloween costumes, or Halsey’s nod to it (“Killing Boys”) on her platinum-selling album. 
   
  With insight into the genre’s cinematic tropes, our current cultural reckoning with misogyny, and an original interview with director Karyn Kusama, Extra Salty solidifies the status of Jennifer’s Body as a cult classic.

  Mouse Tracks: The Story of Walt Disney Records chronicles for the first time the fifty-year history of the Disney recording companies launched by Walt Disney and Roy Disney in the mid-1950s, when Disneyland Park, Davy Crockett, and the Mickey Mouse Club were taking the world by storm. The book provides a perspective on all-time Disney favorites and features anecdotes, reminiscences, and biographies of the artists who brought Disney magic to audio. 
   
   
   
  Authors Tim Hollis and Greg Ehrbar go behind the scenes at the Walt Disney Studios and discover that in the early days Walt Disney and Roy Disney resisted going into the record business before the success of "The Ballad of Davy Crockett" ignited the in-house label. Along the way, the book traces the recording adventures of such Disney favorites as Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Cinderella, Bambi, Jiminy Cricket, Winnie the Pooh, and even Walt Disney himself. Mouse Tracks reveals the struggles, major successes, and occasional misfires. Included are impressions and details of teen-pop princesses Annette Funicello and Hayley Mills, the Mary Poppins phenomenon, a Disney-style "British Invasion," and a low period when sagging sales forced Walt Disney to suggest closing the division down. 
   
   
   
  Mouse Tracks is a collector's bonanza of information on this little-analyzed side of the Disney empire.
