Sinopsis

Zipper Fastening Revolution unveils the surprising history of the zipper, a seemingly simple fastening technology that profoundly impacted fashion, industry, and society. Far from being a straightforward invention, the zipper's journey involved overcoming significant technological hurdles and navigating complex social and economic landscapes. For instance, early versions of the zipper, known as "hookless fasteners," were unreliable and required considerable refinement before gaining widespread acceptance. The book explores how the zipper's success stemmed from strategic marketing alongside its practical advantages. 

 
The narrative progresses chronologically, starting with pre-zipper fastening methods and then moves through early prototypes developed by inventors like Whitcomb Judson and Gideon Sundback. Later chapters analyze the zipper's integration into mainstream fashion and its diverse applications, illustrating how this invention reshaped clothing design and mass production. By examining patent documents, advertisements, and firsthand accounts, Zipper Fastening Revolution provides a comprehensive look at this transformative technology. The book uniquely balances technical analysis with cultural insights, demonstrating how a simple device became an integral part of our daily lives.

    There are numerous models, theories, and resources on integrating psychology and the Christian faith. But practicing integration in the real world is something else entirely. To move from theory to practice, we need learning informed by experiences, reflection on those experiences, and feedback from others. This integration process is a lifelong journey.
    William B. Whitney and Carissa Dwiwardani offer a fresh approach to integration as embodied, lived, and practical. These two seasoned teachers guide students through the process of theological reflection on psychology as part of their spiritual formation and vocation, requiring each person to incorporate their own stories, culture, and experiences. True integration, the authors contend, should work for justice in our churches, communities, and wider society, with particular attention to the marginalized and oppressed.
    Using guided exercises and prompts for reflection and discussion, The Integration Journey invites students to make their own contributions to constructing a culturally informed, organic model of integration that works for them. The goal of integrative reflection is ultimately to be shaped so that we can better love God and others and work toward God's kingdom here on earth.

    The mechanics have a secret hidden deep in the junkyard. I’ll never tell anyone… 
    I’m a private equity investor. I buy struggling companies and gut them. People think I’m evil, but it’s just business. 
    My latest employees refuse to be laid off though. 
    Now I’m chained to a desk in a dark, lonely room. I struggle to remember what life was like before this. I’ve become a pet—a toy for the men I was supposed to fire. 
    They’ve fastened a collar around my neck and named me “Shadow”. They’ve trained me for obedience. With each passing day, it grows harder to remember my past. I’m sinking deep into this new life. 
    I’m loyal now. I’m a good, obedient boy.

    An economic and military superpower with twenty percent of the world's population, China has the wherewithal to transform the international system. Xi Jinping's bold calls for China to "lead in the reform of the global governance system" suggest that he has just such an ambition. But how does he plan to realize it? And what does it mean for the rest of the world? 
     
     
     
    In this compelling book, Elizabeth Economy reveals China's ambitious new strategy to reclaim the country's past glory and reshape the geostrategic landscape in dramatic new ways. Xi's vision is one of Chinese centrality on the global stage, in which the mainland has realized its sovereignty claims over Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the South China Sea, deepened its global political, economic, and security reach through its grand-scale Belt and Road Initiative, and used its leadership in the United Nations and other institutions to align international norms and values, particularly around human rights, with those of China. It is a world radically different from that of today. The international community needs to understand and respond to the great risks, as well as the potential opportunities, of a world rebuilt by China.
