The book explores wage discrimination in the U.S. labor market through the lens of intersectionality, a term coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989. It highlights how overlapping social categorizations—such as disability, gender identity, race, and socioeconomic class—contribute to systemic inequality. By applying an intersectional framework, the author investigates the complexities of wage disparities and the broader implications for social justice and equal rights in the context of increasing societal awareness of these issues.

Explores the origins and evolution of Georgian landscape architecture, a period of innovative and diverse garden structures in which some of the era's greatest architects experimented with different forms, styles, and new technology The invention and evolution of the Georgian landscape garden liberated garden buildings from the corset of formality, allowing them to structure much more extensive areas of garden and park. One of the leading authorities on Georgian landscape architecture, Roger White explores a genre in which some of the era's greatest architects experimented with different forms, styles, and new technology. Covering not just the obvious adornments of parks and gardens such as temples, summerhouses, grottoes, towers and "follies," the book also explores structures with predominantly practical functions including mausolea, boathouses, dovecotes, stables, kennels, deer pens, barns, and cowsheds, all of which could be dressed up to make an architectural impact. White examines these structures not only architecturally but from a functional and cultural viewpoint, considering questions of stylistic origins and development. Focussing on the contributions of Britain's leading eighteenth-century architects--Vanbrugh, Hawksmoor, Gibbs, Kent, Adam, Chambers, Wyatt, and Soane--Georgian Arcadia provides a richly illustrated account of a period of innovative and diverse garden building.
