Paperback. Condizione: Good. A fascinating look (The Boston Globe) at how we think and talk about beauty in the twenty-first century--and the unexpected and often positive way that beauty shapes our lives. For decades, we've thought of beauty as a negative influence in our lives. We feel insecure in the face of retouched, impossibly-perfect images. We worry primping and preening are a distraction and a trap. But in Face Value, journalist Autumn Whitefield-Modrano dispels this one-sided beauty myth and examines the relationship between appearance and science, social media, sex, friendship, language, and advertising to show how beauty actually affects us day to day. Through meticulous research and interviews with dozens of women across all walks of life, she reveals surprising findings, like wearing makeup can actually relax you, you can convince people you're better looking just by tweaking your personality, and the ways beauty can be a powerful tool of connection among women. Provocative and empowering, it celebrates a relaxed brand of feminism, one in which it's equally okay to feel fierce in your fake eyelashes and confident when going makeup-free. Face Value is an immensely valuable work, one that seamlessly--and impressively--combines the tropes of the academic lit review and the memoir and the work of cultural criticism into an engaging, and timely, follow-up to The Beauty Myth (The Atlantic).…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Faye Whitefield Carlton is determined to tell the story about a young girl's courage and will to survive her life's dilemmas in the Caribbean Bay Islands. Even though the girl was abandoned by her father, sent away from her island home, left behind to live among strangers, suffered distress, and isolated on a deserted island, she was determined to come out the winner - for this little girl was no weakling. One might even call her a type of Cinderella or Pocahontas of her time. Even her methods for acquiring food make her a daredevil But none of these hardships will stop Faye from reliving the truth of the story, for as far as anyone would know and if the truth be told, it might have happened to Faye herself. The good, bad, and ugly that came to the young girl's life and what it took for her just to get a fresh drink of water will leave you spellbound. What happened and how she made it through two major hurricanes will leave you screaming for more of her story. In this book, the account of what happened the day little Faye's mother was born and stolen from her mother paves the way for the story to unfold of the young girl's life as it all began in the Caribbean Bay Islands.…
