A marvelous invitation to anyone with an interest in creativity, invention, and design.” —Michael Bierut, Partner, Pentagram, New York   Even concert pianists do warm-up exercises to limber up the fingers and clear the mind for the performance ahead.

How to join this part to that, how to establish a pattern or continue the series, how to say it without words, what fits, and what doesn’t? For established practicing designers or creatives in any field, these activities are sometimes playful, sometimes challenging—but always enlightening.

  This is a 2-book combo, which has the following titles: 
  Book 1: What is Hygge? And how do you use it?  
  The answers to these questions are fairly simple, but they are complicated enough to write a short about it. That’s why this book will give you some answers as to making your home a cozier play, the Danish way, even if, or perhaps especially when the weather is cold and dark. In the last two chapters, we will briefly touch on what the Danish allow their kids to do when they have “free play” time, and how to create bath bombs yourself to have a comfortable hygge bath. 
  Book 2: How do you use the Hygge lifestyle during the holidays? 
  What about Christmas? New Year’s Eve? 
  And how do you practice Hygge in the living room or at work? 
  These and other questions will be addressed in this quick, comprehensible guide. You will also learn about ideas for random acts of kindness, how to involve the children, and the background of Hygge.  
  I invite you to act on your curiosity and begin reading or listening right now!

  We currently live in a very fast paced environment. It’s become a very competitive corporate world where it’s the products which decide on the fate of the company. New products ideas float around almost everywhere, but not every one of them becomes the next big thing in the market. Even the biggest of companies fail to survive, with Nokia being a prime example of the above.  
  Product development is an art in itself and when mastered, will hold potential to propel your company up the competition list.

  Skirts - Fashioning Modern...

  In a sparkling social history, Skirts traces the shifting roles of women over the twentieth century through the era's most iconic and influential dresses.While the story of women's liberation has often been framed by the growing acceptance of pants over the twentieth century, the most important and influential female fashions of the era featured skirts. Suffragists and soldiers marched in skirts; the heroines of the Civil Rights Movement took a stand in skirts. As women made strides towards equality in the vote, the workforce, and the world at large, their wardrobes evolved with them.Kimberly Chrisman-Campbell's Skirts looks at the history of twentieth-century womenswear through the lens of game-changing styles like the little black dress and the Bar Suit, as well as more obscure innovations like the Taxi dress or the Pop-Over dress, which came with a matching potholder. These influential garments illuminate the times in which they were first worn—and the women who wore them—while continuing to shape contemporary fashion and even opening the door for a genderfluid future of skirts. At once an authoritative work of history and a delightfully entertaining romp through decades of fashion, Skirts charts the changing fortunes, freedoms, and aspirations of women themselves.
