Introduction to Gigi Hadid
Gigi Hadid is an American fashion model who gained recognition in the industry through her stunning runway walks and photogenic skills. Born in 1995, Hadid grew up in a family that was closely associated with the fashion industry.

Gigi's interest in modeling started blossoming at an early age, and she signed her first modeling contract at just two years old. Gigi's first breakthrough in the industry came in 2014, when she walked for Desigual during New York Fashion Week. Since then, she has walked for prominent brands and designers like Marc Jacobs, Chanel, Balmain, and Versace.

Her success in the fashion industry has made her one of the highest-paid models in the world, with an estimated net worth of $29 million.

The Making of Iraq, 1900-1963
Haj explains the pervasive violence of Iraq's political scene not by invoking ageless images of sectarian strife and irrational bloodlust but by showing that the violent political battles of the 1950s and 1960s were the result of fundamental changes in the system of ownership and agricultural production during the nineteenth century.
Master Plans and Encroachments

But in cities today, such informal modifications to the urban fabric are deeply enmeshed with formal planning procedures. Master Plans and Encroachments examines informality in the high-modernist city of Islamabad as a strategic conformity to official schemes and regulations rather than as a deviation from them.

The Politics of Downtown Development
American cities experienced an extraordinary surge in downtown development during the 1970s and 1980s. Pro-growth advocates in urban government and the business community believed that the construction of office buildings, hotels, convention centers, and sports complexes would generate jobs and tax revenue while revitalizing stagnant local economies. But neighborhood groups soon became disgruntled with the unanticipated costs and unfulfilled promises of rapid expansion, and grassroots opposition erupted in cities throughout the United States. Through an insightful comparison of effective protest in San Francisco and ineffective protest in Washington, D.C., Stephen McGovern examines how citizens—even those lacking financial resources—have sought to control their own urban environments. McGovern interviews nearly one hundred business activists, government officials, and business leaders, exploring the influence of political culture and individual citizens' perceptions of a particular development issue. McGovern offers a compelling explanation of why some battles against city hall succeed while so many others fail.
