Significant socio-economic changes have occurred over the last 20 years in the UK and other advanced capitalist societies. Consequently, Fordism, a bureaucratic, hierarchical model of industrial development has matured into post-Fordism, with its greater emphasis on the individual, freedom of choice and flexibility, generating fresh debate and analysis. "Towards a Post-Fordist Welfare State" represents leading authors from a number of disciplines - social policy, sociology, politics and geography - who have played a key role in promoting and criticizing post-Fordist theory. The text presents a thorough examination of the implications of applying post-Fordism to contemporary restructuring of the British welfare state. The work should appeal to undergraduates, postgraduates and lecturers in social policy and administration, sociology, politics and public sector economics.

Towards a Post-Fordist Welfare State? (The State of Welfare Series)

A new interdisciplinary perspective on architecture and geometry―from Athenian Ruins to the Chrysler building
The geometric foundations, forms, and patterns in today’s architecture, design and, decorative arts can trace their origins in past cultures. From humankind’s first path-like doodles on cave walls through to the higher abstractions developed to make accurate measurements and predictions, the three-dimensional forms we design and build have always been dependent on available materials, human needs, and the limits of our imaginations.
3D Thinking in Design and Architecture tells the story of the intimate relationship between geometry, mathematics and man-made design throughout human history, from the Neolithic period through the Indian, Egyptian, Babylonian, Chinese, Greek, Celtic, Islamic and Renaissance cultures, to the present and the possible future. Presenting key principles that can be applied across all design disciplines, design expert Roger Burrows relates how geometry as a visual language has evolved to meet our needs, initiated new technologies, and changed the way we think about the world around us. With a wealth of original artwork by the author to explain his ideas, this book will be an essential reference and source of inspiration for students and design professionals. 793 illustrations, 618 in color
