Download or read book Rafael Vi oly Architects written by Philip Jodidio and published by Prestel Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: KEYNOTE: The definitive monograph highlighting the global works of the visionary hailed by The New York Times' Herbert Muschamp as "the most elegant architect now practicing in the United States." For nearly half a century Rafael Vinoly has been driven by the belief that the responsibility of architecture is to elevate the public realm. While his early work in Argentina transformed the landscape of his native continent, his first major projects in New York--the John Jay College of Criminal Justice--and in Tokyo--the International Forum--established Vinoly as an international presence in architecture, whose buildings sustain a structural originality that transcends passing fads. This monograph features a chronological sampling of Vinoly's best work in the United States, Latin America, Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East. The large and small-scale projects encompass courthouses, private residences, athletic facilities, performing arts centers, museums, and educational buildings. Illustrated with photographs, plans, and drawings, and accented by Vinoly's personal reflection on his career, this volume brings together the achievements of one of today's most internationally acclaimed architects. AUTHOR: Rafael Vinoly was born in Uruguay and by the age of twenty was founding partner of Estudio de Arquitectura, which would become one of the largest design studios in Latin America. In 1983 he founded Rafael Vinoly Architects PC, a New York based firm that now has offices in London, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, and Abu Dhabi. Philip Jodidio has published numerous books on contemporary architecture, including Architecture: Art and Architecture: Nature. He lives in Grimentz, Switzerland.

Download or read book Adoptive Families in a Diverse Society written by Katarina Wegar and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adoptive Families in a Diverse Society brings together twenty-one prominent scholars to explore the experience, practice, and policy of adoption in North America. While much existing literature tends to stress the potential problems inherent in non-biological kinship, the essays in this volume consider adoptive family life in a broad and balanced context. Bringing new perspectives to the topics of kinship, identity, and belonging, this path-breaking book expands more than our understandings of adoptive family life; it urges us to rethink the limits and possibilities of diversity and assimilation in American society.

Download or read book Aging written by Harry R. Moody and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2017-01-12 with total page 609 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting current research in an innovative text-reader format, Aging: Concepts and Controversies, Ninth Edition encourages students to become involved and take an informed stand on the major aging issues we face as a society. Not simply a summary of research literature, Harry R. Moody and Jennifer R. Sasser’s text focuses on controversies and questions, rather than on assimilating facts or arriving at a single "correct" view about aging and older people. Drawing on their extensive expertise, the authors first provide an overview of aging in three domains: aging over the life course, health care, and the socioeconomic aspects of aging. Each section is followed by a series of edited readings, offering different perspectives from experts and specialists on that subject. New readings focus on whether current federal spending on the elderly is sustainable and fair to other groups, how older consumers are reshaping the business landscape, and the challenges of marketing and selling to customers 60 and over. More emphasis is placed on how social class and inequality earlier in life can shape our final years and the number of older Americans living in poverty. The section on Aging and Health Care has been thoroughly updated to reflect the latest data about chronic diseases that affect the elderly, government spending on health care, and policy changes to programs like Medicaid and Medicare. The section on the Social and Economic Outlook for an Aging Society gives the most current picture of the racial and ethnic diversity of older Americans, their participation in the labor force, and their income and wealth.

Download or read book Civil Society in Southeast Asia written by Lee Hock Guan and published by Institute of Southeast Asian Studies. This book was released on 2004 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the relevance of civil society to people empowerment, effective governance, and deepening democracy? This book addresses this question by examining the activities and public participation of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the areas of religion, ethnicity, gender and the environment. Examples are taken from Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. State regimes' attempts to co-opt the concept or reject it as alien to "Asian values" have apparently not turned out as expected. This is evident from the fact that many Southeast Asian citizens are inspired by the civil society concept and now engage in public discourse and participation. The experience of civil society in Southeast Asia shows that its impact -- or lack of impact -- on democratization and democracy depends on a variety of factors not only within civil society itself, but also within the state.

Download or read book Actions and Structure written by Nigel Fielding and published by SAGE Publications Limited. This book was released on 1988-10 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social scientists have always recognised a divergence between approaches which emphasise the constraining power of social structure and those which interpret society through the cumulative effects of actions of individuals. In recent years there has been renewed interest in the latter through the micro-sociology of everyday life. Social scientists are now taking stock of the implications of micro-sociological research for the analysis of structure and the macro-level theory of society. In Actions and Structure the value of micro-sociological research for the analysis of social order is assessed. Individual chapters evaluate new research approaches from discourse and conversational analysis, mathematical, interactionist and phenomenol
