Space is a world devoid of the things we need to live and thrive: air, gravity, hot showers, fresh produce, privacy, beer. Space exploration is in some ways an exploration of what it means to be human. How much can a person give up? How much weirdness can they take? What happens to you when you can't walk for a year? Have sex? Smell flowers? What happens if you vomit in your helmet during a space walk? Is it possible for the human body to survive a bailout at 17,000 miles per hour? To answer these questions, space agencies set up all manner of bizarre space simulations. As the author discovers, it's possible to preview space without ever leaving Earth. From the space shuttle training toilet to a crash test of NASA's new space capsule (cadaver filling in for astronaut), she takes us on a surreally trip into the science of life in space and space on Earth" ; Includes bibliographical references (p.

Condizione: very good. New York : John Wiley & Sons, 1965. Hardcover. Dustjacket. xv,429 pp. - Dress, Adornment, and the Social Order offers pertinent readings from such disciplines as cultural anthropology, economics, sociology, social psychology. and home economics, as well as from journalístic and popular sources. It is the first book to bring together this widely scattered material, and thus constitutes the only comprehensive, systematic examination of the socio-cultural aspects of dress and adornment. The book is organized as follows: Part One - an introduction to the study of dress and adornment - is followed by a treatment of the traditional topics: origins and functions of dress. In Part Three, diversity in cultural patterns of dress is discussed, with em- phasis on technical, aesthetic, moral, and ritualistic patterns. Part Four is given over to a consideration of observable relationships between dress and social organization, as exhibited by age and sex roles and the social structures of family, polity, economy, religion, caste, and class. Parts Five and Six are concerned with, respectively: significance of clothing for the individual as biological organism as well as normal or deviant social self; and patterns of change and stability in dress and the related topic of fashion. Each section of readings is preceded by comments that provide a frame- work for understanding and evaluating the selections. Dress, Adornment, and the Social Order also features valuable lists of supplementary readings, and an annotated bibliography. Condition : very good copy. Keywords : FASHION.…
