Wartime Fashion

From Haute Couture to Homemade, 1939-1945

By: Geraldine Howell

A comprehensive analysis of Second World War dress practice and appearance, this study places dress at the forefront of a complex series of cultural chain reactions. As lives were changed by the conditions of war, dress continued to reflect important visual narratives regarding class, gender and taste that would impact significantly on public consciousness of equality, fairness and morale. Using new archival and primary source evidence, Wartime Fashion clarifies how and why clothing was rationed, and repositions style and design during the war in relation to past expectations and ideas about clothes and fabrics. The book explores the impact of war on the dress and appearance of civilian women of all classes in the context of changing social and economic infrastructures created by the national emergency. The varied research elements combined in this book form a rounded and definitive account of the dress history of British women during the Second World War. This is essential reading for anyone with an active interest in the field, whether personal or professional.

Monetary Policy and Inflation Dynamics in ASEAN Economies

By: Geraldine Dany-Knedlik,Juan Angel Garcia

This paper investigates the evolution of inflation dynamics in the five largest ASEAN countries between 1997 and 2017. To account for changes in the monetary policy frameworks since the Asian Financial Crisis (AFC), the analysis is based on country-specific Phillips curves allowing for time-varying parameters. The paper finds evidence of a higher degree of forward-looking dynamics and a better anchoring of inflation expectations, consistent with the improvements in monetary policy frameworks in the region. In contrast, the quantitative impact of cyclical fluctuations and import prices has gradually diminished over time.

Poems Indicated and Inspired by God

By: Geraldine M. Glover

These poems where chosen for such a time as this. The poems are to uplift, inspire, encourage, change lives, give inspiration, correct, instruct and rebuke. To draw those that are lost and to bring those that have lost their way back to Jesus Christ. To remind God’s people that He still loves them and that He is still in control. The only way that we as a people can be complete is in God. I have been chosen to also remind the people that the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth were given by Jesus Christ.

Women in Wartime

Dress Studies from Picture Post 1938-1945

By: Geraldine Howell

This book is open access and available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. It is funded by Knowledge Unlatched. Picture Post magazine was made famous by its pioneering photojournalism, which vividly captured a panorama of wartime events and the ordinary lives affected. This book is the first to examine this fascinating primary source as a cultural record of women's dress history. Reading the magazine's visual narratives from 1938 to 1945, it weaves together the ways in which design, style and fashion were affected by, and responded to, the state of being at war - and the new gender roles it created for women. From the working class of Whitechapel to the beach sets of the Bahamas, and from well-heeled Mayfair to middle-class New York, Women in Wartime takes a wide-angled lens to the fashions and lifestyles of the women featured in Picture Post. Exploring the nature of femininity and the struggle to be fashionable during the war, the book reveals critical connections between clothing and social culture. Drawing on a unique range of photographs, Women in Wartime presents a living history of how women's clothing choices reflect changing perceptions of gender, body, and class during an era of unprecedented social change.

Dressing for Austerity

Aspiration, Leisure and Fashion in Post-war Britain

By: Geraldine Biddle-Perry

A new look for Austerity...The coldest winter on record, rationing, successive economic crises, bombed out towns and cities; with some justification 'Austerity Britain' in the late 1940s is coloured in the popular imagination in tones of drab. Dressing for Austerity shines a light on alternative visions of post-war optimism and aspiration. It traces how, set against the Labour government's philosophy of 'Austerity by design' in a climate of post-war idealism, the desire for affordable fashionable clothing, access to leisure, and the health, time and money to enjoy them became totemic symbols of post-war ambition that impelled new strategies of state control and consumer agency. The book examines the immediate post-war period - its politics, its fashions and its people - in new ways and on its own terms as a critical tipping point in the making of modern Britain.

Pensions

The Problems of Today and Tomorrow

By: Bernard Benjamin,Steven Haberman,George Helowicz,Geraldine Kaye,David Wilkie

Drawing on the authors’ extensive experience as actuaries, this work, originally published in 1987, provides a thorough examination of the problems which had arisen, and those that seemed likely to arise, with regard to both public and private pension funds at the time. It ranges in scope from the realities of individual plans and schemes devised by employers and employees to the management of pension funds and investment portfolios. The concept of socially responsible investment is discussed. Reliable statistical information on the health, age and occupation of the population is an important tool in planning pension schemes for both the public and private sectors, and this book includes a careful analysis of the available data, leading to many useful projections for the thirty to forty years which followed. Although the statistical information is derived from UK sources, the problems it relates to, and its analysis was applicable to pension planning in all developed countries The breadth of the authors’ approach, fully embracing the apprehension at the time about the demands of an increasingly ageing population and a partially unemployed workforce, would give this book added interest to a wide range of academics and professionals in financial institutions, government and the social services. Today it can be read in its historical context.

Land Assembly in British Columbia: How to Sell to Developers

How to Sell to Developers

By: Geraldine Santiago

Developers in British Columbia are snatching up properties and buying real estate in blocks to make way for high-rise, mid-rise apartment buildings, row townhouses and multi-dwelling homes. But what exactly is land assembly and what are developers looking for when they look for a site? Many cities and neighbourhoods throughout British Columbia, in trying to address population growth, sustainability, and housing affordability have allowed rezoning for redevelopment. In the past, most land assemblies occured on major transportation corridors, however they are now also frequent in adjacent neighbouring arteries stemming from public transportation routes. Land assembly is not a new occurrence but it is now more frequent throughout British Columbia. By selling your property in a land assembly where your property is being sold together with neighbouring properties, owners are more able to command a higher price than by selling individually. Do you own a property that is right for redevelopment? Does your location allow higher density? This booklet will introduce you to the basics of land assembly, as a guide. Remember to always work with a Realtor® who specializes in land assembly. For more information, updates and resources, go to www.LandAssembly.me or email geraldinesantiago1@remax.net Disclaimer: This ebook or any part thereof, may not be reproduced or transmitted in any form by any means, without the express written permission of Geraldine Santiago in each instance.
