FORBES Magazine 'How to embrace the natural world by transforming your interior spaces with specific materials, colours, views and sounds.' Gardens Illustrated 'Humans are mammals, programmed over millennia to respond to the natural world. We may be able to live and work in man-made environments most of the time. But according to a new movement of "biophilic" designers and enthusiasts, we are not thriving...writer Sally Coulthard likens it to the practice of keeping animals in captivity, in surroundings ill-suited to their needs. "We live in a world that is fundamentally mismatched to our evolutionary adaptation - we don't see, hear and feel the things that we are programmed to respond to," she writes.' Financial Times
Download or read book The Commercialized Crafts of Thailand written by Erik Cohen and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2000-07-01 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together two decades of research into the process of commercialization of the folk crafts of Thailand: the conditions of its emergence, the parties involved in its development, the changes in the processes and organization of production which accompany it, the channels through which commercialized craft products are marketed, the nature of the audiences which they reach, and the transformations in appearance and meaning which the products undergo as a result of their commercialization. Each chapter deals with a specific issue in a particular context, but virtually all of them relate to one or another of these principal aspects of the process of commercialization. Part I explores the commercialization of hill tribe textiles, particularly those of the Hmong refugees from Laos. Part II presents a series of case studies of the various ways in which the products of lowland Thai "craft villages" became commercialized.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book: Rudra, an enterprising, well-connected, successful businessman with a name and stature, steps in love with an established lawyer who is not able to acknowledge Rudra's love despite being able to fathom the depth of his emotions. Speaking about Omana, he enters into a zone of emotions and tells how a woman, with her mere existence, can change the lives of people around. The story revolves around Omana who is intelligent, virtuous, witty, beautiful and ambitious. The book, in every chapter, has stories of women who took life head-on, challenged their limits and evolved rather than getting succumbed to self-pity and blame game when they were tested by time. The story progresses as a conversation between Rudra and the most precious woman of his life, Omana, who presents her perspectives about life, people, situations and what can an individual learn. Her keen observation, empathy, compassion and care do not come in the way of her integrity and assertiveness. They both discuss about the value and meaning of life vis-à-vis the pressures and hypocrisy that every individual faces while living in this society. Rudra, deeply in love with Omana, kept finding opportunities to be with her. Sharing lessons of life, worth learning for every individual who seeks LIBERATION through the channel of FREE WILL, concluded his story by saying that “A Lady whose aura, beauty, dignity, pride, enthusiasm, knowledge and confidence combine together and make her Omana – The Complete Woman”.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A father searching for his missing daughter is suddenly given hope when a major clue is discovered, but learning the truth could shatter the seemingly perfect image Hollywood is desperate to uphold. Gates Foster lost his daughter, Lucy, seventeen years ago. He's never stopped searching. Suddenly, a shocking new development provides Foster with his first major lead in over a decade, and he may finally be on the verge of discovering the awful truth. Meanwhile, Mitzi Ives has carved out a space among the Foley artists creating the immersive sounds giving Hollywood films their authenticity. Using the same secret techniques as her father before her, she's become an industry-leading expert in the sound of violence and horror, creating screams so bone-chilling, they may as well be real. Soon Foster and Ives find themselves on a collision course that threatens to expose the violence hidden beneath Hollywood's glamorous façade. A grim and disturbing reflection on the commodification of suffering and the dangerous power of art, The Invention of Sound is Chuck Palahniuk at the peak of his literary powers -- his most suspenseful, most daring, and most genre-defying work yet.
