After the success of the Revolution in 1979 and the transformation of Iran into a theocratic democracy in the 1980s, imagery from the nineteenth century began to appear in Iranian visual culture, from theatre and film to painting and photography. These appropriations include nineteenth-century photographs taken by Iranians, fashions, and symbols of the Iranian Empire, such as the Lion and the Sun. In "Mirrors with Memories," Scheiwiller investigates the uses of such images by contemporary Iranian photographers. She argues that the reconstructions of the past in these artists'' photographs are spaces that contest "official" memory and history. The act of remembering becomes one of protest and helps to reintegrate the perspectives of previously excluded segments of society. The settings that figure predominately in these photographs are the harem and the photography studio. There is a fascinating and deeply significant analogical relationship between these two spaces as sites for the deconstruction of the narratives of nationhood, modernization, and gender.

Feminine and highly fashionable footwear in the Netherlands is the subject of this book. For a while now, I have found that certain styles in this category of footwear are missing in the medium price segment in the Netherlands. When traveling to other countries like the UK, the USA and Spain it has proven to be far easier to find this type of footwear at prices in the medium segment. I was curious if other women in the Netherlands experienced the same problem and decided to research this as a thesis subject. After researching the footwear market from both a consumer and professional point of view, it appeared that there was a demand for the feminine and highly fashionable footwear I find lacking in the Dutch market. The concept, sales and marketing plan for a footwear brand, that offers feminine and highly fashionable footwear in the Netherlands, is described in this book.

Much has been written about meeting the ethnic and cultural needs of diverse students in schools. From the perspective of multicultural education, the key areas of diversity are considered to be ethnicity, social class, primary language, gender/sex,religion, age, urban-suburban-rural, and exceptionality. The areas of diversity that are most often the focus for schools and meeting the needs of students are ethnicity, social class, and primary language.
