An exhilarating journey through more than fifty years of Ralph Lauren's creativity on the runway For fall 1972, Ralph Lauren (b. 1939) debuted his first full women's collection with a runway show for friends, buyers, and fashion editors in the company's original workspace. The line, which highlighted the brand's signature exquisite tailoring and Lauren's remarkable ability to infuse women's fashion with elements of menswear and outdoorsy detailing, made an outsized and immediate mark on the world of fashion. Over the five decades since then, the brand's designs--which also take inspiration from the natural beauty and rustic charm of the American West and New England, have become the gold standard for timeless American style with panache. This book, eleventh in the critically acclaimed Catwalk series, provides a comprehensive overview of Ralph Lauren's womenswear collections from 1972 until 2025. The looks showcased here have influenced the way women dress all around the world. Alongside a rich visual exploration of the more than 100 collections themselves--featuring over 1,000 of the carefully curated catwalk images that are a hallmark of this series--are a history of the brand and brief essays about the highlights and influences of each collection. Clothbound in purple with elegant silver lettering, this volume is essential for fashion lovers and fans of Ralph Lauren.
If the consumer economy had a sex, it would be female.If the business world had a sex, it would be male. And therein lies the pickle. Women are the engine of the global economy, driving 80 percent of consumer spending in the United States alone. They hold the purse strings, and when they've got a tight grip on them as they do now, companies must be shrewder than ever to win them over. Just when executives have mastered becoming technology literate, they find there's another skill they need: becoming female literate. This isn't always easy. Gender is the most powerful determinant of how a person views the world and everything in it. It's stronger than age, income, or race. While there are mountains of research done every year segmenting consumers and analyzing why they buy, more often than not it doesn't factor in the one piece of information that trumps them all: the sex of the buyer. It's stunning how many companies overlook the psychology of gender when we all know that men and women look at the world so differently. Bridget Brennan's Why She Buys shows decision makers how to bridge this divide and capture the business of the world's most powerful consumers just when they need it most. - No Matter Where You Live, Women Are a Foreign Country: You'll discover the value in studying women with the same intensity that you would a foreign market. Women grow up within a culture of their own gender, which is often invisible to men. Brennan dissects this female culture and explains the important brain differencesbetween men and women that may cause your female customers to notice things about your products, marketing campaigns, or sales environment that you might have overlooked. - The High Fives: There are five major trends driving the global female population that are key to determining their wants and needs. These global shifts are just beginning to be tapped by businesses, and learning about them can provide you with an invaluable blueprint for long-range planning. - The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Find out how the best and brightest companies have cracked the female code, and hear horror stories about those that haven't. Through instructive case studies and interviews, Why She Buys provides practical, field-proven techniques that you can apply to your business immediately, from giants like Procter & Gamble and Toyota to upstarts like Method home-care products and lululemon athletica apparel. At a time when every company is looking for a competitive advantage, Bridget Brennan offers a new and effective lens for capturing market share. From the Hardcover edition.
The workshop summary provides guidance for researchers applying to the National Science Foundation (NSF) for funding. New NSF guidelines require applications to address the "broader impact" of the proposed research. Presentations at the workshop provided ideas on how to do this by engaging in undergraduate education, K-12 education or public outreach via museums or journalists. The workshop summary discusses issues to consider in choosing an appropriate collaborator for the education or outreach component of the project and how to build in methods for assessing the success of the project. It also provides lists of resources helpful in writing education proposals and discusses the similarities between research in education and scientific research.
A Christian-Arab journalist recalls her eyewitness to the deadly beginnings of fundamentalist Islam as a Lebanese Christian whose family spent seven years hiding out in an underground bomb shelter in order to survive a jihad against non-Muslim people, looking at the history, social movements, and religious divisions that have led to the current conflict.

"They Must Be Stopped" is "New York Times" bestselling author Brigitte Gabriel's warning to the world: We can no longer ignore the growth of radical Islam-we must act soon, and powerfully. Gabriel challenges our western and politically-correct notions about Islam, demonstrating why radical Islam is so deadly and how we can halt its progress.Brigitte Gabriel speaks her mind: Islam is a religion rooted in 7th century teachings that are fundamentally opposed to democracy and equality; Radical Islamists are utterly contemptuous of all 'infidels' (non-Muslims) and regard them as enemies worthy of death; There are madrassas in America, and they are just one part of a growing radical Islamic army.Radical Islam exploits our legal system, our fairness, and our tolerance, by using our protection of religion to spread its hatred for western values; and, we must effectively organize a unified voice that says 'enough' to political correctness, and demands that government officials and our elected representatives do what is necessary to protect us.
Brigitte Gabriel has fearlessly faced down critics, death threats, and political correctness, and is one of the most sought after terrorism experts in the world. "They Must be Stopped" is a clarion call to action. Gabriel thoroughly addresses the historical and religious basis of radical Islam, its frightening encroachment into societies around the world, and its abuses of democracy in the name of religion.
There is growing awareness of the tremendous impact Latino writers have had on the recent literary scene, yet not all readers have the background to fully appreciate the merits and meanings of works like House on Mango Street, Line of the Sun, Bless Me Ultima, and In the Time of Butterflies. Offering analysis of their most important, popular, and frequently assigned fictional works, this book surveys the contributions of eight notable Latino writers: Julia Alvarez, Rodolfo Anaya, Sandra Cisneros, Junot Díaz, Christina Garía, Oscar Hijuelos, Ortiz Cofer, and Ernesto Quiñonez.Each chapter gives biographical background on the author and clear literary analysis of the selected works, including a concise plot synopsis. Delving into the question of cultural identity, each work is carefully examined not only in terms of its literary components, but also with regard to the cultural background and historical context. This book illuminates such themes as acculturation, generational differences, immigration, assimilation, and exile. Language, religion, and gender issues are explored against the cultural backdrop, along with the social impact of such historical events as Operation Bootstrap in Puerto Rico, the early days of Castro's Cuba, and the Trujillo Dictatorship in the Dominican Republic. Students and teachers will find their reading experiences of U.S. Latino works enriched with the literary and cultural perspectives offered here. A list of additional suggested reading is included.
