Beschreibung

Weirdest Beauty Trends explores the captivating and sometimes shocking history of beauty standards across cultures and eras. The book delves into unconventional beauty practices, revealing how social, economic, and psychological forces shape our perceptions of attractiveness. Readers will discover bizarre beauty rituals from ancient civilizations, like the use of lead-based cosmetics in ancient Rome, which highlights the detrimental health consequences of pursuing certain beauty ideals. By examining these extreme beauty trends, the book sheds light on the power of societal influence and encourages a critical examination of contemporary beauty standards and body positivity.

 
The book uniquely combines historical analysis with a critical look at today's beauty culture and the beauty industry. It progresses thematically, beginning with foundational concepts of beauty as a social construct and moving through various historical periods and beauty practices, such as extreme tanning.

    A meticulously researched page-turner about one of the Philadelphia suburbs' most shocking twentieth-century crimes. A gunman broke into Jack and Peggy Abt's house moments after the last family member left for the day. He took a seat in the living room and waited for eleven hours. 
     
    People expect things to go bump in the night, but, in 1976, most adults never fretted a stranger would invade the sanctity of their home in the middle of the day. Six people walked through the kitchen door one by one that afternoon, all expecting nothing more than a Friday night fish fry. The killer leaped out from behind the living room wall over and over and over and over and over and over again. He fired at them at a distance of less than eighteen inches. After each murder, he dragged the body to the basement. Then he sped back upstairs to tidy up for his next victim. 
     
    This story from a news reporter who was on the scene ninety minutes after the killer slipped away is built from autopsy reports, prison records, IQ tests, trial transcripts, the killer's own eidetic confession, interviews with witnesses, and the author's experiences covering the case. With that research, it was possible to reconstruct the six murders, minute by minute. Tension builds as the six innocent victims turn the kitchen doorknob at 3:30, 4:15, 4:40, 5:15, 6:10 and at 6:30.

    A restorative and resonant memoir of a year in the life of an aging shepherd 
    		 
    For 50 years, Barbara McLean has tended a flock of Border Leicester sheep on her small Ontario farm, Lambsquarters. In Shepherd’s Sight she shares the crises, pleasures, and challenges of farm life over the course of a year. Now in her 70s, McLean faces a new problem: how much longer she can continue with the physically taxing work that is her central source of meaning and satisfaction.  
    		 
    Through her unsentimental gaze, we witness the highs and heartbreaks of delivering and rearing lambs, the shearing and spinning of wool, the wildlife in the woods (and occasionally in the house), and the garden produce moving from seed to harvest to table. Even after half a century on this land, McLean is still making fresh observations, and she shares them in evocative, elegant prose. As she moves through the calendar year, she also reflects on years past, offering a long view on climate, stewardship, and agriculture. 
    		 
    With its vivid description and absorbing storytelling, Shepherd’s Sight offers an unforgettable glimpse of a life lived on the land.
