Ibiza Style
The sun-drenched Mediterranean island of Ibiza has been a magnet for creative and glamorous individuals since the 1960s. This beautifully produced book presents a stunning selection of interiors that have been created by this eclectic mix of inhabitan- ts. With the colourful island as their common inspiration, the private homes and boutique hotels featured in Ibiza Style offer a rich variety of interior-design styles, from pretty, rustically furnished traditional fincas to suave, minimalist contemporary villas, and together give a unique and fascinating insight into the lifestyles of their creators.
The Creative Home
An intimate look inside the homes of the world’s leading creatives in one of the world’s most vibrant cities As one of the world’s leading creative hubs, an inspirational combination of quirky British style and lively cosmopolitanism, London is home to designers, stylists, and artists from around the globe. The New Creative Home ventures inside the personal spaces of the city’s most ingenious talents. Drawn from the worlds of fashion, design, and art, this new generation of talent is embracing the city’s wide variety of living spaces—from a Victorian pile or an elegant Georgian terrace to a loft- style apartment—and injecting their own bold design and bright ideas to create highly individualistic and inspirational interiors. Ingrid Rasmussen and Talib Choudry take readers into the personal spaces and diverse neighborhoods of these creatives, from fashion stylist Alex Eagle in Soho and textile designers Torna and Lucy Russell-Hills in Notting Hill, to artist Camille Walala in Hackney and architect Chris Dyson in Spitalfields, revealing a rich mix of lifestyles that showcase the city in all its vibrancy.

The Locket
In the late 1850's, thousand of poverty-stricken Scandinavians were lured to America by missionaries of the Latter-day Saints with promises of great prosperity. Ingrid Thirkelsen was assigned to the Martin Party of immigrants, and for the first time she encounters the horrors of polygamy, blood atonement and blind obedience to cult leaders. As she makes the handcart trek across the Plains and Rocky Mountains, a locket she has promised to deliver in Zion and her Ma's Bible giver her comfort and the strength to endure the unendurable.
Electroactivity in Polymeric Materials
Electroactivity in Polymeric Materials provides an in-depth view of the theory of electroactivity and explores exactly how and why various electroactive phenomena occur. The book explains the theory behind electroactive bending (including ion-polymer-metal-composites –IPMCs), dielectric elastomers, electroactive contraction, and electroactive contraction-expansion cycles. The book also balances theory with applications – how electroactivity can be used – drawing inspiration from the manmade mechanical world and the natural world around us.

The End Is the Beginning
Dragons, battles, beasts, and plagues--it's no wonder Revelation is often called the scariest book in the Bible. And most of us aren't sure what to make of it. What do you think of when you think about the book of Revelation? Prophecy, apocalypse, rapture? While certain evangelicals are steeped in the rhetoric of Revelation (albeit a very particular and peculiar interpretation), the rest of us often have little interaction with Revelation, beyond its fire-and-brimstone reputation. Revelation rarely shows up in the pulpits of mainline Christian churches, and many progressives feel as if Revelation is only for "the end is near" apocalyptics or Christian Nationalists and QAnon theorists. But th...
Wellbeing, Freedom and Social Justice
How do we evaluate ambiguous concepts such as wellbeing, freedom, and social justice? How do we develop policies that offer everyone the best chance to achieve what they want from life? The capability approach, a theoretical framework pioneered by the philosopher and economist Amartya Sen in the 1980s, has become an increasingly influential way to think about these issues. Wellbeing, Freedom and Social Justice: The Capability Approach Re-Examined is both an introduction to the capability approach and a thorough evaluation of the challenges and disputes that have engrossed the scholars who have developed it. Ingrid Robeyns offers her own illuminating and rigorously interdisciplinary interpret...
