Beschreibung

Journey back to the captivating era of the 1920s and discover the allure of Jazz Age homes in this comprehensive and visually stunning book. Immerse yourself in the architectural marvels, interior artistry, and cultural influences that shaped these iconic dwellings, as you explore the unique design aesthetic that defined a generation.

From sprawling bungalows and stately mansions to charming cottages and cozy apartments, this book takes you on a guided tour of the diverse architectural styles that characterized the Jazz Age. Delve into the history and evolution of each style, from the clean lines and geometric forms of Art Deco to the warm and inviting details of the Craftsman bungalow. Discover how architects and designers of the era masterfully blended traditional elements with modern innovations to create homes that were both stylish and functional.

Step inside these remarkable homes and explore the art of Jazz Age decoration. Vibrant colors, geometric patterns, and eclectic accents reigned supreme, as interior designers pushed the boundaries of creativity to create spaces that reflected the optimism and joie de vivre of the era. From the grand living rooms adorned with plush furnishings and colorful rugs to the sleek and efficient kitchens equipped with the latest appliances, every room tells a story of individuality and taste.

Venture beyond the walls of these homes and immerse yourself in the enchanting gardens and landscapes that surrounded them. Formal gardens, with their manicured hedges, blooming flower beds, and graceful fountains, provided a sense of order and sophistication. Informal gardens, with their native plants and wildflowers, offered a more relaxed and naturalistic retreat. Discover the hidden nooks and intimate seating areas, perfect for entertaining guests or simply enjoying a moment of tranquility amidst nature's beauty.

This book also delves into the lifestyles of Jazz Age homeowners, offering a glimpse into the social and cultural fabric of the era. Learn about the importance of entertaining and social gatherings, from lavish cocktail parties to intimate dinner soirees. Explore the popular pastimes of the era, including bridge and mahjong, and discover how music, particularly jazz and ragtime, filled these homes with life and energy.

As you journey through the pages of this book, you will come to appreciate the enduring legacy of Jazz Age homes and their lasting impact on modern design. Witness the resurgence of Art Deco and retro styles in contemporary architecture and interiors, and see how elements of Jazz Age design continue to inspire fashion, art, and popular culture. This book is a celebration of an era that embraced innovation, glamour, and the pursuit of happiness, and its influence can still be felt today.

    From Pessimism to Promise -...

    When it comes to tech, the mainstream headlines are bleak: Algorithms control and oppress. AI will destroy democracy and our social fabric, and possibly even drive us to extinction. While legitimate concerns drive these fears, we need to equally account for the fact that tech affords young people something incredibly valuable—a rare space for self-actualization. In From Pessimism to Promise, award-winning author Payal Arora explains that, outside the West, where most of the world's youth reside, there is a significant different outlook on tech: in fact, there is a contagion of optimism toward all things digital. These users, especially those in marginalized contexts, are full of hope for new tech. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on field insights in diverse global contexts such as Brazil, India, and Bangladesh, Arora describes what drives Gen Z to embrace new technologies. From Pessimism to Promise discusses the shift to relationally-driven approaches to design; how to create "algorithms of aspiration"; how to reimagine the digital space for sex, pleasure, and care; and, what we can learn from feminist digital activists and women's collectives in the Global South on shared digital provenance and value, as well as indigenous approaches to sustainability, that challenges sacred ideas on degrowth, circular economy, and the doughnut economy.

    This Poem is Titled 'Beauty of the Human Form.  ::  
    It is a poem about the never ending fascination of People with the Human body. 
    Some might say, its in our DNA. That maybe so.  
    The Greeks knew how to display it, as both eroticism and as an Art form. 
    Showing both sexes in the 'Perfect' perfection of Beauty! 
    Unfortunately; the human form, especially the female human form has been in the last few decades 
    since the new renaissance or as we call the sexual revolution or as is now the 'free society'. 
    Denigrated to an object not of art but purely of desire, or descended into the more pornographic exploitive realms of decor art. 
    *NO A.I. has been used in the creation of this Poem. * As for all his poems & s/stories.* 
    *Just the purity of thought of the Author.

    This book is about twenty-one days, and sixty years. A motorcycle ride down the spine of Appalachia, with a little banjo  and big myth for company, to play and sing at the graves of dead banjo heroes. About making a life about making work. This book is about outsiders. Interlopers. Class migrants. Death. Awakening. Creative Process. Growth through risk-taking. It’s a book about ghosts. Music. Writing. Not writing. What’s this book not about? “Finding myself.” I know who I am.  
    Steven Sherrill is a high school dropout, a nearly retired professor, a family man, a ne'er-do-well banjo player, a motorcyclist, an aquarist, a sonic/video muckraker, and a novelist with five books in the world, one of which (The Minotaur Takes a Cigarette Break) is a cult classic.
