The author, a sociologist and former model draws on personal experiences and interviews with industry insiders to examine the economics, politics and arbitrariness of the glamor business. She takes us behind the brightly lit runways and glossy advertisements of the fashion industry in this insider's study of the world of modeling. She has worked as a model in New York and London, and draws on observations as well as extensive interviews with male...

How do you know what works and what doesn't? This book contains case studies highlighting the power of polytope projects for complex problem solving. Any sort of combinational problem characterized by a large variety of possibly complex constructions and deconstructions based on simple building blocks can be studied in a similar way. Although the majority of case studies are related to chemistry, the method is general and equally applicable to other...

"The Kingsley family is American royalty. In 1967, after Joseph S. Kingsley Jr. is killed in a tragic accident, his son inherits the weight of that legacy.
