Beschreibung

"Hairstyle History" presents a fascinating journey through the evolution of hair fashion across human civilization, exploring how hairstyles have served as powerful indicators of social status, cultural identity, and personal expression.

 
From the elaborate wigs of ancient Egypt to today's digitally-influenced styles, this comprehensive work examines the intricate relationship between hair traditions and society through three main lenses: technological advancement, sociopolitical significance, and cultural exchange. The book weaves together archaeological evidence, historical documents, and anthropological studies to reveal compelling insights into how hair practices have shaped human society.

 
For instance, the transformation of hairstyling during the industrial revolution democratized fashion-forward looks through mass-produced tools, while the 1920s bobbed hair trend and 1960s natural hair movement exemplified how hairstyles became powerful symbols of social change and resistance. Through detailed research and over 200 visual references, readers discover how ancient styling techniques continue to influence modern practices.

 
The narrative progresses chronologically from ancient civilizations through medieval times and into the contemporary era, examining how each period's unique technological and social developments influenced hair customs. Written in an accessible academic style, the book connects hairstyle evolution to broader themes in fashion design, social justice, and economic history, making it valuable for both academic study and professional application in the beauty industry.

 
The work concludes with thoughtful analysis of current trends in sustainable hair care and digital culture's influence on modern styling.

    During the Civil War, armies took many soldiers captive, but they also captured some civilians as well, such as sutlers, nurses, teamsters, and other service personnel. In addition, both the Union and the Confederacy imprisoned deserters, sympathizers with the enemy, traitors, and draft dodgers. The numbers cited vary somewhat, and often, precise numbers should be regarded with caution because the official numbers do not account for everyone. One somewhat authoritative total is that Confederates confined 7,092 Union officers and 179,091 enlisted men in prison camps, along with 1,962 civilians, for a total of 188,145 (Stack 3). By comparison, the Union captured 35,782 officers, 426,852 enlisted men, and 13,535 Confederate civilians, but this total is misleading because it includes the troops that surrendered when the war ended, including the commands of Robert E. Lee, Joseph E. Johnston, Richard Taylor, and Edmund Kirby Smith. Almost all the troops who surrendered at the end of the war were immediately paroled and allowed to go home. A commonly cited estimate is that 215,000 Confederate and 195,000 Union soldiers were prisoners of war in one of the various prison camp facilities. There were 32 sizable Confederate camps during the war, half of them in South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama. 
    	Of the Union prisoners, 2,696 escaped from prison, and 3,170 others joined the Confederate armies. Of the Confederates, 2,098 escaped, and 5,432 joined the Union forces. 94,000 Union troops were paroled, and 248,599 Confederates were also released on parole (Stack 4).That said, the number of escapees cited are best regarded as estimates rather than exact totals - record-keeping was accurate in some places and inaccurate in others, and as the Confederacy was in its last months, chaotic conditions prevailed.

    SAS: The History of the SAS

    The authorised history of the SAS by the number one bestselling author of Dunkirk, Joshua Levine. With unheard stories, this is the SAS’s wartime history in vivid and astonishing detail. 
    The SAS began as a lie, a story of a British parachute unit in the North African desert, to convince the Axis they were under imminent threat. The lie was so effective that soon a small band of men were brought together to make it real. These recruits were the toughest and brightest of their cohort, the most resilient, most dynamic and most self-sufficient. Their first commanders, David Stirling and Paddy Mayne, would go down in history as unorthodox visionaries. Yet this book tells much more than the usual origin story of the unit and seeks out less well-known leaders like Bill Fraser, who was essential in helping the SAS achieve fame for their devastating raids. By looking beyond the myth, this book brings back to life a group of men who showed immense bravery and endured unimaginable risks behind enemy lines. 
    Written with the full cooperation of the SAS and with exclusive access to SAS archives, Levine draws on individual stories and personal testimony, including interviews with veterans and family members. The book gives a visceral sense of what it was like to fight and train in the SAS in both North Africa and Europe during the Second World War, focusing on their failures as well as their successes. 
    This book is vivid with the characters of the men, their eclectic personalities, their strengths, weaknesses and many disagreements. Levine has uncovered a remarkable portrait of this enigmatic unit with stories long thought lost to history 
    The book SAS by Joshua Levine, the Sunday Times bestselling author, is a top-notch non-fiction biography that delves into the special forces of Britain during World War II. It's a compelling narrative that showcases the author's expertise in military history. 
    For fans of Damien Lewis (SAS Daggers Drawn), Rowland White (Mosquito), Hugh Mcmanners (Gulf War One), Antony Beevor (Arnhem), and Jonathan Trigg (D-Day Through German Eyes).
