Fashion Retailing or Globalization and Militarism

Fashion Retailing: A Multi-Channel Approach

Author: Ellen Diamond

The only retailing book that exclusively focuses on the fashion segment of the retailing industry, its complete coverage includes the author’s personal experience, in-depth interviews with industry professionals, and a wealth of pertinent photographs, exposing fashion retailing as a “multi-channel” industry. Beginning with a broad overview of fashion retailing, this book then focuses on on-site environments, management and control functions, merchandising fashion products, communicating with clientele, and finally ends with a useful appendix about careers in fashion. An excellent handbook for retail executives and managers in the field.

Globalization and Militarism: Feminists Make the Link

Author: Cynthia Enlo

Written by one of the world's leading feminist scholars, this masterful and provocative book takes seriously women's desires to be patriotic yet feminine and men's fears of being feminized as a strategy to explain how militarism is being globalizedand thus what it will take to roll back militarized societies and assumptions. Through explorations of how governments think so narrowly about national security, of how post-war reconstruction efforts have marginalized women, of how ideas about feminization were used to humiliate male prisoners in Abu Ghraib, and of why camo has become a fashion statement, Cynthia H. Enloe unravels militarism's both blatant and subtle workings. Focusing her lens on the Big Picture of international politics and on the small picture of women's and men's complex everyday lives, Enloe challenges us to recognize militarism in all its forms.
