Cowboy Classics looks at the remarkably intimate connection between Westerns and Greek and Roman epics, each of which focuses on a mythic-historical period from the past where our societal notions of what constitutes heroism, masculinity and honour were first forged.Through her insightful analysis of Red River, High Noon, Shane, The Searchers and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Kirsten Day illustrates the parallels between these seemingly disparate yet closely related genres, allowing us to see each through a new lens while gaining insight into the persistence of these concepts in our world today.

HousingSolutions through Design explores housing design with a special focus onaffordability. It gives the perspectives of academics who research and teach on housing; professionals who design and build, and students who are learning.The book foregrounds innovative approaches of the designers of today andtomorrow.Thisbook is the second in the Housing the Future Series, one of the aims of whichis to collate a broad sample of the work being done from a design perspectivein universities across the world on the issue of affordable housing. This very‘real’ engagement with the issues of housing affordability is a key componentof this series and is why the series invites practitioners to discuss theirwork. In Housing Solutions through Design,those practitioners include an award-winning commercial practice from the UK,Shed KM, and two of the most important reference points in the area of housingaffordability and community development internationally – the world-renownedHerman Hertzberger, from the Netherlands, and the US-based but internationallyactive Habitat for Humanity. The inclusion of the work of such practices is notsimply important because of their undoubted international status: it isimportant because of the work they do and the role models they represent for ageneration of architects and designers who, in the coming years, will be facedwith the need – and the opportunity – to develop new approaches to housingdesign.
