This new revised edition confirms Web Style Guide as the go-to authority in a rapidly changing market. As web designers move from building sites from scratch to using content management and aggregation tools, the book’s focus shifts away from code samples and toward best practices, especially those involving mobile experience, social media, and accessibility. An ideal reference for web site designers in corporations, government, nonprofit organizations, and academic institutions, the book explains established design principles and covers all aspects of web design—from planning to production to maintenance. The guide also shows how these principles apply in web design projects whose primary concerns are information design, interface design, and efficient search and navigation.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56232155316597,"sku":"9780300211658","price":27.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780300211658_47bc2d52-153e-4f72-b8ad-4e7306ce6fa5.jpg?v=1786012785"},{"product_id":"9781032263861","title":"What Every Engineer Should Know About Digital Accessibility","description":"\u003cp\u003eAccessibility is a core quality of digital products, to be deliberately addressed throughout the development lifecycle. \u003ci\u003eWhat Every Engineer Should Know about Digital Accessibility\u003c\/i\u003e will prepare readers to integrate digital accessibility into their engineering practices.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56295740899701,"sku":"9781032263861","price":33.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781032263861_e0d8bcb8-0025-41db-8d71-e2e23074d4d6.jpg?v=1786017447"},{"product_id":"9781789387803","title":"Pattern and Chaos in Art, Science and Everyday Life","description":"This collection explores critical and visual practices through the lens of interactions and intersections between pattern and chaos. The dynamic of the inter-relationship between pattern and chaos is such as to challenge disciplinary boundaries, critical frameworks and modes of understanding, perception and communication, often referencing the in-between territory of art and science through experimentation and visual scrutiny. A territory of 'pattern-chaos' or 'chaos-pattern' begins to unfold.   Drawing upon fields such as visual culture, sociology, physics, neurobiology, linguistics or critical theory, for example, contributors have experimented with pattern and\/or chaos-related forms, processes, materials, sounds and language or have reflected on the work of other artists, scientists and scholars. Diagrams, tessellations, dust, knots, mazes, folds, creases, flux, virus, fire and flow are indicative of processes through which pattern and chaos are addressed.   The contributions are organized into clusters of subjects which reflect the interdisciplinary terrain through a robust, yet also experimental, arrangement. These are 'Pattern Dynamics', 'Morph Flux Mutate', 'Decompose Recompose', 'Virus; Social Imaginary' and 'Nothings in Particular'.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56306676695413,"sku":"9781789387803","price":39.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781789387803_bcd7f8a2-e2dd-4336-8774-92bf07efb16e.jpg?v=1786026557"},{"product_id":"the-promise-of-friendship","title":"The Promise of Friendship","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eArgues that friendship is the gift of a world that is not one's own and that transforms one's world in unforseeable ways.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Promise of Friendship\u003c\/i\u003e investigates what makes friendship possible and good for human beings. In dialogue with authors ranging from Aristotle and Montaigne to Proust, Levinas, and Derrida, Sarah Horton argues that friendship is suited to our finitude-that is, to the limits within which human beings live-and proposes a novel understanding of friendship as translation: friends translate the world for each other so that each one experiences the world not as the other does but in light of the friend's always-unknowable experience. The very distance between friends that makes it impossible for them to know each other wholly also makes it possible for them to be transformed by friendship. Friendship, then, is possible and good for those who love precisely that they can never wholly know the friend. Friendship is a profound, mutual self-giving that highlights the irreplaceability of each person, fundamentally shapes the self, and is one of the greatest joys of human existence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57484150440309,"sku":"9781438495163","price":27.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781438495163.jpg?v=1786266188"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-sarah-horton.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
