Résumé:
Based on 260 vintage images and extensive original research, Inside Toronto: Urban Interiors 1880s to1920s is the first book to investigate the complex, interior life of a single city — the ordinary and extraordinary places where Torontonians lived, worked, shopped, and performed the rituals of daily life. Interior photographs are rare. Not many were taken; and fewer have survived. Fortunately, Toronto's archival resources, supplemented by private and public collections elsewhere, are extensive enough to support an investigation of these interior spaces.Many images are glorious, all are informative. Text illuminates the images and provides historical background.

Résumé:
Since 2020, Collecting Otherwise, initiated by the Nieuwe Instituut in Rotterdam, has explored how archives and their policies shape institutional memory, urban history, and public heritage, challenging the idea that heritage is “neutral”. It aims to change institutional culture to recognise and champion under-represented roles, practices, and perspectives in archives. Besides rethinking archival practices in case studies from the National Collection, the project addresses annual themes on collecting and develops collaborative tools. The manuals invite engagement with these tools to support reparative archival work and deepen reflections on the responsibilities of memory.

Résumé:
The deceptively simple supermarket choice echoed in the title symbolizes the dilemma of a society on a collision course with the planet's life-support systems. About one-third of America's municipal solid waste is packaging - at least 300 pounds per person each year - and the "upstream" costs in energy and ressources used to make packaging are even more alarming. In this book, author Daniel Imhoff unwraps the packaging problem and gives consummers, product designers, and policymakers the information they need to take steps toward a more sustainable future.

Résumé:
The stereotypical nuclear family is in the minority of households, yet remains a powerful ideology. This classic of socialist feminism charts how the family reinforces conditions of inequality, and asks: Why does the family enjoy such popular support, including by feminists and the left? Despite its many problems, ''The Anti-social Family'' answers, the family meets real needs. These needs must be taken seriously, and alter-native ways to meet them developed, giving people more choices and collectively taking on the work and responsibilities currently privatised within the family.

Résumé:
Chicago, like many urban centers throughout the world, has recently undergone a surge in new construction, grafting a new layer of architectural experimentation onto those of past eras. In early 2007, the Museum of Contemporary Photography, with the support of U.S. Equities Realty, invited Michael Wolf as an artist-in-residence to document this phenomenon. Bringing his unique perspective on changing urban environments to a city renowned for its architectural legacy, Wolf chose to photograph the central downtown area, focusing specifically on issues of voyeurism and the contemporary urban landscape in flux.
