  Why Mariah Carey Matters

  The first book to critically examine the legacy of pop superstar Mariah Carey. 
   
  When it comes to Mariah Carey, star power is never in doubt. She has sold hundreds of millions of albums and cut more chart-topping hits than any other solo artist—ever. And she has that extraordinary five-octave vocal range. But there is more to her legacy than eye-popping numbers. 
   
  Why Mariah Carey Matters examines the creative evolution and complicated biography of a true diva, making the case that, despite her celebrity, Carey’s musicianship and influence are insufficiently appreciated. A pioneering songwriter and producer, Carey pairs her vocal gifts with intimate lyrics and richly layered sonic details. In the mid-1990s, she perfected a blend of pop, hip-hop, and R&B with songs such as “Fantasy” and “Honey” and drew from her turbulent life to create the introspective masterpiece Butterfly. Andrew Chan looks beyond Carey’s glamorous persona to explore her experience as a mixed-race woman in show business, her adventurous forays into house music and gospel, and her appeal to multiple generations of queer audiences. He also reckons with the transcendent ideal of the voice that Carey represents, showing how this international icon taught artists around the world to sing with soul-shaking intensity and a spirit of innovation.

  Towards a New Architecture is a seminal work by the Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier, first published in 1923.
  
  Le Corbusier presents his vision for modern architecture, advocating for a break from traditional architectural forms and a move towards a more functional, rational, and utilitarian approach to design. The book is a manifesto for the principles that would later influence the International Style and modernist architecture.
  
  Le Corbusier argues that architecture should be shaped by the needs of modern society, particularly the advancements in technology, industry, and engineering. He calls for a design language that reflects these changes, emphasizing clean lines, open spaces, and the use of new materials such as steel and concrete. He famously promotes the idea of the "machine for living," where buildings should serve as efficient, functional spaces rather than decorative structures.
  Towards a New Architecture is a foundational text for modern architecture which has significantly influenced the development of the International Style, urban planning, and the way we think about the built environment today.
