During the 1940s and 50s Russel Wright's name literally became a household word. It was estimated that over 125 million pieces of his "stove to table" ware, plastic dishes, and "Spun Aluminum" kitchenware were in use in American homes. His "American Modern" lines of furniture and dinnerware were all highly popular in their day, but now they are becoming rare. Collectors and dealers snap up whatever Wright accessories they can, and when Andy Warhol, one of the most avid Wright collectors was asked how he came to be a Wright fan he remarked, "who's good after him?" This survey of his work establishes Wright as the designer who was most responsible for the shift in taste that made domestic products with a "modern look" popular in the late 1930s. It documents a career of extraordinary range, from the "Blonde" line of furniture commissioned by Nordiska to the juke boxes Wright designed for Wurlitzer, from vinyl seat covers that looked like vinyl rather than fake leather to an aluminum evening wrap. The fifty photographs in the book-ten in color-illustrate his most important work: fabrics, lamps, glass, china, flatware, desks, pianos, radios, ceramics, glassware, chairs, and machinery. Social historian and critic Russell Lynes remembers Wright as "the answer for those of us who were brought up to accept the Bauhaus doctrine as announcing the design wave of the present and hope of the future, but who could not afford to buy the expensive imports of Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe and Marcel Breuer.. . . Our was, I assure you, no small clique. We were part of the mass market for which Wright designed and proud of it."

This clearly written casebook discusses public international intellectual property law (the obligations regarding intellectual property protection undertaken and imposed on states) found in treaties and similar instruments. It includes extracts from many of the classic exegeses on the topic combined with a wealth of up-to-date sources and aims to be a teaching and learning vehicle that enables students to engage fully with the topic. The Second Edition covers the international intellectual property ìarchitectureî, the development of the public international law of intellectual property, private international law (conflicts), and enforcement of rights. In addition, the book provides detailed coverage of international copyright and industrial property law and it analyzes the processes by which international norms are domesticated (or resisted). Extensive notes, questions, and fact patterns explore the materials in more detail and tease out many of the fascinating policy questions and concerns that this topic provokes. Given its scope, this book also serves as an invaluable ìdesk-top referenceî for further research and analysis. The Second Edition of International Intellectual Property Law and Policy builds upon the success of the First Edition, which has been a market leader in this field since its publication in 2001. Much of the book has undergone substantial revision and has benefited from very constructive feedback received from professors and students. The Second Edition includes coverage of regimes regulating human health and access to medicine, environmental protection and access to genetic resources, digital communications and access to information, and human rights. It also includes expanded coverage of the intellectual property standards increasingly common in regional and bilateral free trade agreements.

Walking Broadway encapsulates the architectural history of Manhattan with fourteen walks that guide readers along New York's most famous street. Walking Broadway offers readers an architectural tour of the entire length of Broadway from Bowling Green to the Harlem River. Through fourteen structured walks the book not only presents the history of New York's most famous avenue, but also explores its architecture in depth, block by block, building by building. This is a book about what can be seen and experienced on Broadway today. Buildings are chosen for discussion first and foremost because they are interesting to look at. In a relaxed and engaging style, the author presents the building's story, explores the reasons why it is there, and explains why it looks the way it does. Along the way, the reader not only has the chance to discover fascinating and unusual buildings, but also gains a comprehensive understanding of the historic, social, economic, and political forces which shaped Broadway's growth and character.
