Constructing the image of Muhammad in Europe
The volume represents a significant contribution to the complex history of the conceptualization and pictorialization of the Prophet Muhammad in the West. It gives a rapid and though deep overview of the history of the making of an image of the Prophet Muhammad in Europe and thus reflects the whole history of the making of the image of Islam in the Latin West, from the early medieval times till the 19th century. The book also provides the reader with ready access to the most recent scholarship concerning the image of Muhammad in Europe, in the form of comprehensive footnotes provided throughout the text and an extensive bibliography.

Fleshing out surfaces
Fleshing out surfaces is the first English-language book on skin and flesh tones in art. It considers flesh and skin in art theory, image making and medical discourse in seventeenth to nineteenth-century France. Describing a gradual shift between the early modern and the modern period, it argues that what artists made when imitating human nakedness was not always the same. Initially understood in terms of the body's substance, of flesh tones and body colour, it became increasingly a matter of skin, skin colour and surfaces. Each chapter is dedicated to a different notion of skin and its colour, from flesh tones via a membrane imbued with nervous energy to hermetic borderline. Looking in particular at works by Fragonard, David, Girodet, Benoist and Ingres, the focus is on portraits, as facial skin is a special arena for testing painterly skills and a site where the body and the image become equally expressive.

Flexible Working in Organisations
There is growing interest in flexible working, not only as a means to manage labour more efficiently and for greater agility, but also as a response to increasing concerns over well-being, work-life balance and participation in the labour force of those with significant non-work commitments (e.g. parents, carers, older workers). As a result, a comprehensive stream of literature on the benefits and challenges of flexible working has developed and led to a body of evidence on the implementation and outcomes of different forms of flexible working arrangements. This book assesses the current state of this literature as follows:
Background: the authors review the different definitions that have been proposed, policy developments, availability and uptake.
Outcomes from flexible working: the main chapters focus on the outcomes for employers (e.g. performance, employee retention, organisational commitment etc.), as well as for individual employees (e.g. well-being, job satisfaction etc.).
Evaluation of extant knowledge: the authors comment on the existing literature and consider the methodological approaches adopted in the literature.
Conclusion: suggestions for future research are proposed.
Of interest to students, academics and policy-makers, this book provides an expert overview of the empirical evidence and offers critical commentary on the state of knowledge in the field of flexible working and new forms of work.

Logical pictures in secondary economic education: textbook analysis and teacher perception
Logical pictures, such as graphs and charts are an important part of instruction, not only in economic education. Learning with these logical pictures might be beneficial under appropriate conditions, how-ever, domain-specific and visualization-specific challenges might impede learning. In this paper, we study the use of logical pictures in secondary economic education learning material and in economics teaching. In a mixed-method approach, we first analyze 450 logical pictures and propose a category system which distinguishes between the form of a logical picture as well as its domain-specificity. In a second step, we conducted teacher interviews with economic teachers. Results show that logical pic-tures are used frequently in textbooks, with graphs occurring more often than charts. The interview findings support the relevance of graphs and charts for instruction and provide information about the necessary student abilities and their challenges when working with different logical pictures in economic education from the teacher's perspective.

The moderns : midcentury American graphic design
In The Moderns, we meet the men and women who invented and shaped Midcentury Modern graphic design in America. The book is made up of generously illustrated profiles, many based on interviews, of more than 60 designers whose magazine, book, and record covers; advertisements and package designs; posters; and other projects created the visual aesthetics of postwar modernity. Some were émigrés from Europe; others were homegrown-all were intoxicated by elemental typography, primary colors, photography, and geometric or biomorphic forms. Some are well-known, others are honored in this volume for the first time, and together they comprised a movement that changed our design world.

Yiyecek Fotoğrafçılığının Grafik Tasarım Bağlamında Değerlendirilmesi
Bir reklam yüzeyinde ürünün ya da hizmetin ne olduǧu günümüzde genelde fotoǧrafik görsellerle ifade edilmektedir. Bu baǧlamla reklam fotoǧrafçılıǧı işinin reklam tasarımının ana fikrinin belirlenmesinde önemli rolü vardır. Reklam fotoǧrafçılıǧı, fotoǧraf çekim yöntemlerinin ve teknolojilerinin tamamından yararlanılan bir alandır. Yiyecek fotoǧrafçılıǧı da reklam fotoǧraflarının bir kısmını oluşturur. Gıda ve gastronomi alanında faaliyet gösteren ister dünya çapında olsun, ister yerel olsun birçok marka ürünlerini öncelikle görsel materyallerle tanıtmaktadır. Dolayısıyla gıda fotoǧrafçılıǧı gıda konusunda markalaşma için büyük öneme sahiptir. Fakat reklamı yapılan ürün sadece fotoǧraf çekimiyle yeterli kalmamaktadır. Reklamın çekimleri; yapılan çekimin işlenmesinden, tasarım ve yayın sürecine kadar birçok grafik düzenlemeden geçmektedir. Birçok reklam çekiminde olduǧu gibi yiyecek konusunda yapılacak reklam çekimlerinde çekimin yayınlanacaǧı mecra önemlidir. Bu yüzden yiyecek çekimlerinde ürünün yayınlanacaǧı reklamın gösterim şekli deǧişmektedir. Dolayısıyla yiyecek fotoǧraflarının içerik baǧlamında niteliǧini ve çekim şeklini yayınlanacak mecraya göre grafik anlatım kuralları şekillendirmektedir. Bu araştırmada gastronomi alanında çekilen bazı reklam fotoǧraf örnekleriyle grafik tasarım öǧelerinin birlikte deǧerlendirilmesi yapılmıştır. Deǧerlendirme kapsamında dünyanın deǧişik yerlerinden gıda temalı reklam çalışmaları seçilmiştir. Seçilen görsellerdeki grafik ve fotoǧraf temaları ayrıştırılmak suretiyle elde edilen bilgiler reklam ve yiyecek fotoǧrafçılıǧı arasındaki ilişkiyi açıklamayı amaçlamaktadır. Ayrıca bu araştırma yiyecek fotoǧrafçılıǧı ve grafik alanındaki literatüre katkı saǧlamak amacıyla hazırlanmıştır.

Schrift und Graphisches im Vergleich
Das Thema Schrift und Schriftlichkeit hat in jüngster Zeit verstärkte Aufmerksamkeit
erfahren, nicht zuletzt im Kontext eines erneuerten medienphilologischen
und medienkomparatistischen Interesses in den Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaften.
Die Beiträge des vorliegenden Bandes knüpfen wird an diesen bereits recht gut erforschten Gegenstand an in der Erwartung, dass sich aus einem komparatistischen Zugang weitere Gesichtspunkte gewinnen lassen, die es ermöglichen, neue Aspekte und Dimensionen der Thematik zu erschließen. Es geht darum, Schrift in Relation zu (anderen) Formen des Graphischen
und Bildhaften zu betrachten, um auf diese Weise das Spezifische der jeweiligen
Aufzeichnungsformen deutlich zu machen. Eine solche dezidiert vergleichende
und medienkomparatistische Zugangsweise eröffnet neue Beobachtungen
und Erkenntniss, die zu einem vertieften Verständnis der einzelnen
medialen Formen in ihrer jeweiligen Eigenart sowie in ihrem Zusammenwirken
führen.
