In his book, Relieve Your Child's Chronic Pain, parents will fin the information ad tools they need to get the very best care for their child. It will help you:

    · Recognize, measure, and evaluate your child's pain properly

Fashions in Hair: The First Five Thousand Years

Author: Richard Corson

First published in the 1960s and subsequently updated to the present day, this unique book remains the only comprehensive historical survey of men's and women's hair styles through the ages. Profusely illustrated, it ranges from Ancient Egyptian, Greek, Roman and Anglo-Saxon times to recent fashions and provides an absorbing record of changing attitudes and tastes.

Perhaps the most outstanding feature of the book are the thousands of drawings by author Richard Corson, illustrating the heads of monarchs, politicians, writers, artists and celebrities who set trends in hair fashion. He also includes a number of rare period prints and drawings.

This authoritative text surveys in detail the styles of each century, analysing trends within their social context. Quoting from contemporary writings, the book describes methods for the construction of the elaborate and intricate hair styles that have periodically been in vogue, using frames, padding, false culs, wigs and ornaments. The text pays equal attention to the great variety of men's styles and provides a full account of the wigs, moustaches and beards that men have worn. It also traces the development of the hairdressing industry and its techniques and describes the lives of the chief creators of fashion.

Fashions in Hair is an essential reference work for historians of fashion, theatrical designers, hair stylists, illustrators and anyone interested in the changing fashions in hair. This new edition, with a supplement by fashion historian Caroline Cox, brings the story right up to date.
