Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1977, The Sex Life of the Foot and Shoe examines the realities of foot and shoe eroticism practised by almost all of us, whether consciously or unconsciously. Provocative often witty and always original, the book takes us on a walking tour through history: from Chinese footbinding (completely sexual in intent) and the medieval poulaine (perhaps the most blatantly pornographic shoe ever worn) to the outrageous distortions of the foot gladly suffered by woman over the centuries in the cause of sexual allure. The author explores the obsession with ‘sick’ and ‘tired’ feet and the huge industry that has sprung up to cater to our negativism. He gives a psychosexual guide to us via footwear, grouping men’s and women’s shoes into such categories as sexy, sexless, neuter, bisexual, sensuous, peacock, masculine, eunuch and machismo. This book will be of interest to students of history, gender studies, sexuality studies and fashion.

Book excerpt: A fascinating guide to decoding the secret language of the churches of England through the medieval carved markings and personal etchings found on our church walls from archaeologist Matthew Champion. 'Rare, lovely glimmers of everyday life in the Middle Ages.' -- The Sunday Times 'A fascinating and enjoyable read' -- ***** Reader review 'Superb' -- ***** Reader review 'Riveting' -- ***** Reader review 'Compelling, moving and fascinating' -- ***** Reader review ***************************************************************************************************** Our churches are full of hidden messages from years gone by and for centuries these carved writings and artworks have lain largely unnoticed. Having launched a nationwide survey to gather the best examples, archaeologist Matthew Champion shines a spotlight on a forgotten world of ships, prayers for good fortune, satirical cartoons, charms, curses, windmills, word puzzles, architectural plans and heraldic designs. Here are strange medieval beasts, knights battling unseen dragons, ships sailing across lime-washed oceans and demons who stalk the walls. Latin prayers for the dead jostle with medieval curses, builders' accounts and slanderous comments concerning a long-dead archdeacon. Strange and complex geometric designs, created to ward off the 'evil eye' and thwart the works of the devil, share church pillars with the heraldic shields of England's medieval nobility. Giving a voice to the secret graffiti artists of Medieval times, this engaging, enthralling and - at times - eye-opening book, with a glossary of key terms and a county-by-county directory of key churches, will put this often overlooked period in a whole new light.

Book excerpt: Presenting the history of corsetry and body sculpture, this edition shows how the relationship between fashion and sex is closely bound up with sexual self-expression.

Download or read book Corporate Museums Galleries and Visitor Centers written by Victor J. Danilov and published by Greenwood. This book was released on 1991-08-14 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most frequently overlooked areas of the museum world are those museums and museum-like facilities that are part of manufacturing and other types of companies. Usually known as corporate museums, galleries, or visitor centers, they have other names, such as exhibit halls, history rooms, sculpture gardens, information centers, and even halls of fame. In general, they are exhibit-based facilities owned and operated by publicly traded or privately held companies as public relations, marketing, and/or personnel relations vehicles. In some cases, however, they are operated through foundations started and largely funded and controlled by companies. This unique and comprehensive guide describes more than 300 such corporate museums, galleries, and visitor centers from throughout the world. These facilities are often not listed in conventional museum directories. As part of a corporate organization, they generally do not receive the visibility, publicity, and recognition accorded most nonprofit museums. This volume provides the first comprehensive directory of corporate museums, galleries, and visitors' centers. Those interested in these unusual museums, as well as the companies that house them, will want to own a copy of this unique reference work.
