The Culture of Clothing


Book Description

Newly avilable in paperback, this major contribution to cultural history is a study of dress in France in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Daniel Roche discusses general approaches to the history of dress, locates the subject within current French historiography and uses a large sample of inventories to explore the differences between the various social classes in the amount they spent and the kind of clothes they wore. His essential argument is that there was a 'vestimentary revolution' in the later eighteenth century as all sections of the population became caught up in the world of fashion and fast-moving consumption.




Secondhand Smoke


Book Description

From award-winning author Karen E. Olson comes a nail-biting mystery from her Annie Seymour series. Awakened by a loud commotion, New Haven reporter Annie Seymour wanders outside to discover a favorite Italian eatery engulfed in fire. Even more shocking is the bullet-ridden body found in the debris. Then things get personal. Annie's father, a Vegas casino boss, suddenly arrives in town and the restaurant hires hunky private eye Vinny DeLucia, with whom she has some unfinished business. Now trying to cut through the smoke to uncover the real story, Annie questions her father's connection to the crime. Between the FBI, her would-be hero Vinny, and some raucous animal rights protestors, Annie must peer through the familiar town houses, worn-out sidewalks, and back alleys of her youth to determine a killer's motives-and avoid being burned next...

The Stonnall Brigade


Book Description

For many years I have wanted to commit some thoughts to paper and this is a random collection of ideas that have just poured out. Some are true; others are based on fact while the remainder are ideas that just came into my head. Many friends who read my stories have enjoyed them and encouraged me to publish them in a book form. So what you have here is a miscellany or as my Brother in Law described them a box of assorted assortments. I hope that readers will enjoy my deliberations and perhaps smile, recall a similar event in their past or maybe shed a tear. But most of all enjoy.
