Perfection
Author: Margarette Lincoln
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300264585
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 377
Book Description
A colourful account of women's health, beauty, and cosmetic aids, from stays and corsets to today's viral trends Victorian women ate arsenic to achieve an ideal, pale complexion, while in the 1790s balloon corsets were all the rage, designed to make the wearer appear pregnant. Women of the eighteenth century applied blood from a black cat's tail to problem skin, while doctors in the 1880s promoted woollen underwear to keep colds at bay. Beautification and the pursuit of health may seem all-consuming today, but their history is long and fantastically varied. Ranging across the last four hundred years, Margarette Lincoln examines women's health and beauty in fascinating detail. Through first-hand accounts and reports of physicians, quacks, and advertising, Lincoln captures women's lived experience of consuming beauty products, and the excitement--and trauma--of adopting the latest fashion trends. Considering everything from body sculpture, diet, and exercise to skin, teeth, and hair, Perfection is a vibrant account of women's body-fashioning--and shows how intimately these practices are related to community and identity throughout history.

Making Peace Last
Author: Robert Ricigliano
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317256417
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
The international community invests billions annually in thousands of projects designed to overcome poverty, stop violence, spread human rights, fight terrorism and combat global warming. The hope is that these separate projects will 'add up' to lasting societal change in places like Afghanistan. In reality, these initiatives are not adding up to sustainable peace. Making Peace Last offers ways of improving the productivity of peacebuilding. This book defines the theory, analysis and practice needed to create peacebuilding approaches that are as dynamic and adaptive as the societies they are trying to affect. The book is based on a combination of field experience and research into peacebuilding and conflict resolution. This book can also be used as a textbook in courses on peace-building, security and development. Making Peace Last is a comprehensive approach to finding sustainable solutions to the world's most pressing social problems.

Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
It may not be polite to talk about money, but no-one said we shouldn't write about it. This accessible, humorous book is written to appeal to a broad spectrum of women irrespective of their age, lifestyle or level of financial awareness. This book is relevant to every woman who earns, or simply spends, money. This book aims to change the way women think about money - forever. Money provides protection. If you fall upon hard times, the money you have saved will support you. Money also provides freedom - freedom to travel, to educate yourself, to treat your family and friends. Making the most of your money, like everything else in life, is a matter of habit and discipline. This book aims to get you into the habit and give you that discipline. No matter how much money you have, this book will help you substantially increase your disposable income while maintaining your lifestyle. Two of the main causes of stress in life are financial debt and lack of funds to do what you want in life. This book will reduce the stress in your life by first showing you how to save money in all areas of your life, so increasing your monthly disposable income, then advising you how best to apply this money to eliminate your debts. This book will encourage you to approach your finances as you would a diet. All diets start with an understanding of current body condition followed by a period of adopting diet guidelines and monitoring progress. This book contains exercises to enable you to understand your current financial condition and to monitor it. The book then provides guidelines to employ in every area of your life to help you streamline your spending and maximise your savings. As with a diet, the more closely you follow the guidelines, the more money you will save. A step-by-step real life case study is provided at the end of the book. This enables you to work through the financial exercises and see the money-saving tips in a real life situation. The case study demonstrates how to move from significant indebtedness to debt-free living in easy-to-follow steps. This book will be the best investment you make this year.

The Book of Coventry
Author: Graham Joyce
Publisher: Comma Press
ISBN: 1912697939
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 122
Book Description
As German bombs rain down on the city during the Blitz, a teenage girl discovers she has unearthly abilities… A young woman by the name of Godiva finds herself being stalked by mysterious graffiti sprayed across the city… On his first shift, a tour bus guide decides to go off route, taking his only passenger along for the ride… Often overshadowed by its higher-profile Midlands neighbours, Coventry’s quiet demeanour conceals a steadfast spirit of resilience and resourcefulness. From rebuilding itself after the devastation of WWII, to overcoming huge social-economic decline during the 1970s and 80s, Coventry has long been a city of resolve and rebirth, a place used to picking itself up and dusting itself down. The stories gathered here attest to this fortitude, following a host of characters who see their own myriad struggles reflected in the city’s sometimes precarious development. From the young Asian girl witnessing National Front marches on her own street, to the alienated newcomer who burrows deep into local history for distraction, these stories reveal the steely tenacity that underpins this most unassuming and fascinating of UK cities.
