Sinossi

What does it mean to obsess about clothes and appearances? For some of us, deciding what to wear can involve tension and torment as well as delight. What do we mean by 'looking classy' or 'power dressing'? What are the connections – or contradictions – between dress and desire, glamour and feminism? Do our choices reflect or challenge social values and constraints in women's lives?


Appearances is both memoir and cultural history. It considers attitudes to personal appearance through four generations of women in the author's family, weaving memory through a wide-ranging exploration of fashion, femininity and feminism in the recent past.

    Since their discovery in the late 1920s, antibiotics have shaped and reshaped the history of medicine. The medicine that kills bacteria has reduced the number of people dying from common infections. This created enough excitement for pharmaceutical companies to produce it in insane amounts for a while. Doctors were encouraged to prescribe them, and people were presented with all their benefits. After all, this was the first medicine that killed bacteria without harming human cells - or so they thought. However, in the past couple of decades, it has become more than evident that synthetic antibiotics are overused. They’ve caused a wide range of issues even modern medicine has difficulties dealing with. During this period, the focus shifted to the production and use of natural antibiotics - the topic of this book.  
    Plants have been used in natural medicine for thousands of years. Ancient remedies were prepared for a plethora of conditions, including infections. With the development of the modern sciences, many bioactive compounds in herbs have been isolated. Their actions have been thoroughly studied, allowing us to understand how they benefit the body. Due to this, we know that herbal antibiotics act on the same principle as their synthetic counterparts; they kill the bacteria spreading throughout the body. 
    The difference is that herbal antibiotics also help the body to recover. You don’t need months of prebiotic treatments after using herbal antibiotics. The combination of herbs is often devised so that it sheds the cells from getting damaged during the treatment. While, in challenging cases, the additional use of natural healing agents is still necessary, herbal antibiotics protect the immune system instead of weakening it.

    I feel sick, tired and old. I have no more energy for anything. I am just waiting. Waiting for a kind word, waiting for him to get back to me, waiting to be acknowledged. I can't understand what I'm doing wrong, it's not good for me, I know that. But I can't help it, I stay. It's my own fault. I just have to try harder, become more tolerant. Then everything will be fine."
    
    Everyone who has had one or more relationships or encounters with a narcissist has had such thoughts. Very often we encounter this topic when choosing a partner. Have you been disappointed repeatedly, do you feel used or even guilty?
    
    Surely a friend has already reported back to you that you keep "falling for" the same type of man. Perhaps you are already thinking about this on your own and are considering fundamentally revising your "prey pattern". Possibly you are still in such a relationship and have the desire to free yourself from it, but do not know whether you really see "clearly"?
