Museums, Narratives, and Critical Histories
In response to systemic racism and institutions’ implications in histories of colonialism, nationalism, and exclusion, museum curators have embraced new ways of storytelling to face entangled memories and histories. Critical museum practices have consciously sought to unsettle established forms of representation, break with linear narratives of progress, and experiment with new modes of multivocal, multimedia, and subjective storytelling. The volume features analyses of narratives and narration in museums and heritage institutions today, as well as visions for future museum practices on a local, regional, national, transnational, and global scale. It is divided into three sections: Narrati...
Sar
An exploration of the timeless beauty of Indian design through 200 classic objects. The Indian subcontinent is an amalgamation of peoples, cultures, languages and philosophies. Throughout history Indian culture has been subject to myriad different influences, from the Mughal empire to the British Raj to the now globalized nation in transition. Similar to 'Wa: Essence of Japanese Design', this book will trace continuity through the history of Indian design from antiquity to the present day. The book explores the elements that make Indian design so special, including the varied manufacturing and decorating techniques of the country’s incredibly skilled craftsmen, highly specialized object designs that have been refined over centuries, and ongoing responses to nature, technology, and necessity. The objects were chosen for their enduring quality and beauty, and their integral connection to Indian culture. Rather than following a chronological order or concentrating on the (often anonymous) designers, this book separates the objects into abstract categories anchored by Hindi words chosen to illuminate how each object fits into the lives of Indians.

Geoforensics
This book is a comprehensive introduction to the application of geoscience to criminal investigations. Clearly structured throughout, the text follows a path from the large-scale application of remote sensing, landforms and geophysics in the first half to the increasingly small-scale examination of rock and soils to trace amounts of material. The two scales of investigation are linked by geoscience applications to forensics that can be applied at a range of dimensions. These include the use of topographic mapping, x-ray imaging, geophysics and remote sensing in assessing whether sediment, rocks or concrete may have hidden or buried materials inside for example, drugs, weapons, bodies. This b...
Design como atitude
Quatro anos após seu lançamento original, o livro mais vendido de Alice Rawsthorn é republicado em uma edição expandida, atualizada em resposta aos recentes desafios sociais, políticos e ecológicos em todo o mundo. Totalmente revisado pela autora, o livro é enriquecido por um novo capítulo sobre a resposta do design à emergência climática, explorando também o impacto da COVID-19, o aumento da desigualdade e novas abordagens da política de identidade no design. "Design como Atitude" descreve a habilidade e engenhosidade com que designers estão lidando com desafios globais complexos e interseccionais em um momento extraordinariamente turbulento. O interesse público pelo design está em ascensão, à medida que uma nova geração de designers utiliza tecnologias avançadas para perseguir objetivos humanitários e ecológicos em projetos cada vez mais ambiciosos, além de reinventar os objetos e espaços que usamos diariamente.
