Ownership and Use of Maps in England, 1660-1760
Maps became increasingly affordable in England between the mid-seventeenth and mid-eighteenth centuries. A survey of inventories made for probate or compiled privately, personal library catalogues and atlas subscription lists shows that maps were owned by people from different levels of society and that, irrespective of status, the maps served two principal purposes: decoration and instruction. Mapmakers and sellers were aware of these interests and worded their advertisements accordingly, emphasizing the ornamental and intellectually 'useful' qualities of their maps. For their owners, the maps were usually deeply personal possessions. The different types of maps owned, and the ways they were used, tended to reflect an important aspect of the owners' identity, such as their travels, profession, family history and attachment to a particular place.

Home futures : living in yesterday's tomorrow
The home of the future has long been a topic of fascination in popular culture and an intriguing prospect for designers, and the 20th century offered up countless visions of the future of domestic life, from the aspirational to the radical. Whether it was the dream of the fully mechanized home or the notion that technology might free us from the home altogether, the domestic realm was a site of endless invention and speculation. But what happened to those visions? Are the smart homes of today and patterns of use in the sharing economy the future that architects and designers once predicted, or has the home proved resistant to radical change? 'Home Futures: Living in Yesterday's Tomorrow' explores different approaches to reinventing domestic life, tracing the social and technological developments that have driven change in the home. The first comprehensive survey of the 20th century's aspirational, radical and futuristic visions of the home, this richly illustrated publication showcases a range of ideas and plans for the future from the prescient to the fantastical that designers produced as they imagined new ways of living at home and on the move, independently and collectively, with more and with less.

مهارات الفكر الإبداعي لتطوير وحدات الاثاث باستخدام الزجاج
هدف البحث إلى التعرف على مهارات الفكر الإبداعي لتطوير وحدات الأثاث باستخدام الزجاج. وكشف عن أسباب البحث عن تطبيق تكنولوجيا جديده لصناعه الأثاث بمصر ومنها، الفجوة بين العرض والطلب في معظم الأوقات في صناعة الإثاث والحاجة الماسة إلي التجديد والسرعة في التنفيذ وبأقل تكلفه ممكنه، حيث إن مصر كانت تعاني منذ السبعينات والثمانينات في زيادة الطلب علي منتجات الأثاث بسبب زياده التعداد السكاني، الذي يحتاج بالطبع إلي زياده وتنوع المعروض من قطع الأثاث المنزلي، ومع الأسف لم يقابل هذا الطلب آنذاك زياده مماثله في الإنتاج والتصنيع وبالتالي قلة المعروض الجيد المتميز. كما تناول مفهوم الإبداع، والفكرة الإبداعية، وخصائص المصمم المبدع وبنائية الشكل في التصميم، وكيفية تحقيق الميزة التنافسية لوحدات الأثاث المعاصر. وقد خلص البحث إلى عدة نتائج ومنها، توافق الخامة والوظيفة لوحدات الأثاث الزجاجي مع احتياجات المستعمل ورغباته تتحقق من خلال منظومة يؤسس لها وينشئها المصمم. كما أوضحت النتائج أن المدارك والمهارات الإبداعية للشكل في تصميم الأثاث الزجاجي تسهم في إحداث الاتزان في العلاقات المرئية والإنشائية لقطعه الأثاث وما حولها من فراغ. كما أوصي البحث بتحقيق الميزة التنافسية لوحدات الأثاث المصري المعاصر عن مثيلاتها المستوردة لدعم الاقتصاد الوطني. كُتب هذا المستخلص من قِبل دار المنظومة 2021
