Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Potpourri For and About Women" is a compilation of forty-one (41) chapters, written by women over fifty (50) years of age who have experienced marriage, death, divorce, long-term relationships, and even second and third marriages. Many of these ladies have sustained disappointments in relationships, crisis within the family, health, careers, financial loss, or perhaps in more than one area. They have journeyed so far and felt so much, and now it is time to share some of their rich and varied experiences and encourage the sense of being there for each other. These experiences have helped to empower them to become the women that they are today. It is my hope that this very special book will help these ladies to give themselves and others permission to feel good and acknowledge all that they have accomplished. The purpose of this book is to build strength and self exteem, and provide insight for women, who are currently experiencing life challenges. In a nutshell, it is a Self-Help book, for distressed women to have hope. All of the ladies, who have written these honest and sincere stories, have learned to cope and are living productive lives today.

Download or read book The Ephemeral History of Perfume written by Holly Dugan and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2011-09-14 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In contrast to the other senses, smell has long been thought of as too elusive, too fleeting for traditional historical study. Holly Dugan disagrees, arguing that there are rich accounts documenting how men and women produced, consumed, and represented perfumes and their ephemeral effects. She delves deeply into the cultural archive of olfaction to explore what a sense of smell reveals about everyday life in early modern England. In this book, Dugan focuses on six important scents -- incense, rose, sassafras, rosemary, ambergris, and jasmine. She links these smells to the unique spaces they inhabited -- churches, courts, contact zones, plague-ridden households, luxury markets, and pleasure gardens -- and the objects used to dispense them. This original approach provides a rare opportunity to study how early modern men and women negotiated the environment in their everyday lives and the importance of smell to their daily actions. Dugan defines perfume broadly to include spices, flowers, herbs, animal parts, trees, resins, and other ingredients used to produce artificial scents, smokes, fumes, airs, balms, powders, and liquids. In researching these Renaissance aromas, Dugan uncovers the extraordinary ways, now largely lost, that people at the time spoke and wrote about smell: objects "ambered, civited, expired, fetored, halited, resented, and smeeked" or were described as "breathful, embathed, endulced, gracious, halited, incensial, odorant, pulvil, redolent, and suffite." A unique contribution to early modern studies, The Ephemeral History of Perfume is an unparalleled study of olfaction in the Renaissance, a period in which new scents and important cultural theories about smell were developed. Dugan's inspired analysis of a wide range of underexplored sources makes available to scholars a remarkable wealth of information on the topic.
