Fashion After Fifty - A Guide to Real Style

Kaaren Hale

Beschreibung

The trouble with being over fifty is that everything starts to change. By sixty, gravity has started to pull hard and by seventy there is an urgent need to cover up some of the wobbly bits. The female ageing process has not been helped by society’s worship of youth and airbrushed beauty. Yet despite the youth-obsessed society of which the fashion industry is only one reflection, women continue to need to feel good about themselves, to nurture their self-confidence; to re-educate themselves about what works and why, to seek new doyennes of style and to retain beauty that is attainable past the first blush of youth.
In this timely new edition of her tongue-in-cheek look at the fashion world, Kaaren Hale gives us her take on the industry and how to confidently find your own style in an ever-changing and confusing landscape.The women of her generation are the product of the conservative Fifties, the Swinging Sixties, the boom-boom Eighties and sober Nineties. They have enjoyed many heydays and aren’t ready to give up just yet. So why is it that the fashion industry, with few exceptions, directs all its ideas to the very young?
Although the lack of style mentors and fashion choices is disheartening, women do not have to fill their wardrobes with dreary clothes, insensitive to the high-spirited girl inside them who still craves fashion adventure. They may not have Donna Karan to guide them personally through the minefield of middle age, but they can learn from their peers who already know how to do it – and enjoy the ride. This is a book for a generation of women that has done it all, seen it all and still wants to look – and feel – good.

Healthcare Activism - Markets...

Susi Geiger

What is the role of activists and civil society in defining and defending the collective good in healthcare, especially in cases where that good seems to be heavily shaped by market dynamics? Presenting conceptual and empirical studies from a variety of healthcare contexts and theoretical perspectives, this book addresses this vital question by drawing together multidisciplinary scholarship from science and technology studies, sociology, organization studies, marketing, philosophy, and public health. 
 
 
 
Healthcare has undergone three major changes over the past decades: the advent of personalized medicine, the marketization of public care systems, and the digitalization of healthcare services. This book maps these changes and illustrates the extent to which they are interlinked to produce a seemingly unstoppable move toward individualization in healthcare. The book also traces how activists react to these tensions to argue for and defend the common good. It thus sketches a multifaceted picture of healthcare activism in the twenty-first century as civil society responds to these dynamics at the crossroads of markets and morals, economic and social justifications, individual and collective, and digital and non-digital worlds. Crucially, it also highlights potential solutions in a post Covid-19 world.

Stars and the Shadow Realm - The...

Dirk Fallon

The cosmos, an endless expanse of stars, planets, and unknown realms, is far more complex than it appears. Humanity has long gazed at the night sky, wondering about the vastness of space and the mysteries it holds. From ancient civilizations to modern scientific advancements, we have strived to understand the fundamental nature of the universe. Yet, the more we learn, the more we realize how little we truly know. The universe is constantly evolving, and its story is a tale of creation, destruction, and the delicate balance that sustains it all.
The birth of stars marks the beginning of cosmic evolution. Stars form from vast clouds of gas and dust, which collapse under their own gravity, eventually igniting nuclear fusion in their cores. This process is the foundation of stellar life, and it is responsible for the creation of all the elements we find on Earth. Stars shine brightly, providing energy and light to their surrounding environments, but their life cycles are fleeting. Over millions or even billions of years, stars undergo dramatic changes, from the fusion of lighter elements to the eventual formation of heavier ones. These transformations have profound implications for the surrounding space and the evolution of galaxies.
The concept of dark space is equally crucial to understanding the cosmos. Dark space, often associated with dark matter and dark energy, is an invisible component of the universe that does not emit or interact with electromagnetic radiation. While we cannot directly observe dark space, scientists have inferred its existence by studying the gravitational effects it has on visible matter. It is believed that dark space plays a vital role in the overall structure and expansion of the universe. In many ways, it serves as a backdrop to the more visible phenomena we observe, yet its influence is undeniable. Dark space not only shapes the formation of galaxies but also dictates their movement and evolution over time.
