Sinossi

"Bandage Covers Wounds" explores the surprising history of the adhesive bandage, a ubiquitous item born from a simple kitchen mishap. Before its invention, treating minor wounds at home was a tedious and unsanitary process, often involving cumbersome cloths and separate adhesives. The book reveals how Earle Dickson, a Johnson & Johnson employee, ingeniously created the prototype for his wife, Josephine, revolutionizing self-care and medical practices.

 
The book is structured to first present the state of wound care before the 1920s, then detail Dickson's story and the evolution of his idea into a marketable product. The narrative then investigates the bandage’s impact on healthcare, safety, and consumer culture. Archival research, including corporate records and early advertisements, paints a vivid picture of the era.

 
This history of innovation highlights how the bandage evolved as a cultural artifact, reflecting societal values and the growing emphasis on convenience.

The Power of Black Excellence -...

Deondra Rose

From their founding, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) educated as many as 90 percent of Black college students in the United States. Although many are aware of the significance of HBCUs in expanding Black Americans' educational opportunities, much less attention has been paid to the vital role that they have played in expanding American democracy. 
 
 
 
In The Power of Black Excellence, Deondra Rose provides an authoritative history of HBCUs and the unique role they have played in shaping American democracy since 1865. Drawing on over six years of deep research, Rose brings into view the historic impact that government support for HBCUs has had on the American political landscape, arguing that they have been essential for not only empowering Black citizens but also reshaping the distribution of political power in the United States. Today, HBCUs remain extremely important, as evidenced by the outsized number of black political leaders—including Kamala Harris—who attended them. Rose stresses that policymakers promote democracy itself when they support HBCUs and their unique approach to postsecondary education, which includes a commitment to helping students develop politically empowering skills, promoting political leadership, and fostering a commitment to service.

Building Inclusion - A Practical...

Marsha Ramroop, Dr. Yasmeen Lari

Building Inclusion: A Practical Guide to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in Architecture and the Built Environment is just that—a manual to support and provide essential guidance to the profession on these key issues. Acknowledging that the existence of EDI procedures does not necessarily ensure their use, it focuses on demonstrating behaviors that help create, implement, and enforce policies, procedures, and practices to deliver inclusion. 
 
 
 
Written by Marsha Ramroop, former inaugural EDI director at the RIBA and award-winning EDI strategist, the book targets the pain points of talent attraction and retention, public sector procurement, community engagement, and inclusive design. It utilizes case studies from organizations across the sector and the world with successful EDI practices, as well as testimonials of lived experiences of discrimination which provide important insight to the listener. The book takes an intersectional approach, considering not just the separate identities of race, ethnicity, nationality, age, gender and sexual identity, disability, neurodiversity, and class but the overlap of these. 
 
 
 
Clearly written and accessible, with key points at the end of each chapter, this book is essential for those in the profession seeking to implement EDI practices in their work and workplace.
