Pinpointing how consumer culture transformed female beauty ideals during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, this study documents the movement from traditional views about beauty in relation to nature, God, morality and character to a modern conception of beauty as produced in and through consumer culture. While beauty has often been approached in relation to aestheticism and the visual arts in this period, this monograph offers a new and significant focus on how beauty was reshaped in girls' and women's magazines, beauty manuals and fiction during the rise of consumer culture. These archival sources reveal important historical changes in how femininity was shaped and illuminate how contemporary ideas of female beauty, and the methods by which they are disseminated, originated in seismic shifts in nineteenth-century print culture.

The world is coming to an end, and "Crazy Kerrigan" has a front-row seat. Centuries ago, scrolls calling forth the four horsemen of the apocalypse were discovered, sealed until their rightful heirs were born. Now, those scrolls are being opened. When her small town crumbles during her stay in an institution for troubled teens, eighteen-year-old Kerrigan Monroe is one of the few left standing. She and a handful of other survivors take cover as everything they've ever known is reduced to rubble. When the smooth voice behind a cryptic radio broadcast beckons her to a safe house, she and the others abandon their temporary haven, and embark on a cross-country journey toward refuge. Upon discovering the identity of the man behind the voice, Kerrigan is smacked with the revelation that he's not the only heir to these scrolls. Now, she must make a choice: join this dark stranger and lead the New World by his side, or fight for what's left of humanity. Either decision will bring power. Either decision will bring death.

The hustle and bustle of today's busy world can make it difficult for businesses to focus beyond the task at hand. The businesses that take time to be strategic and intentional, however, are often the most successful. They start by building a foundation for their business and then move onto developing the "stuff"- what they do and how they do it. Only once all that is in place, do they shift their focus to the "extras" such as giveaways and social media. In this book, Michelle Smith talks about building the foundation of your business, then adding the stuff and then the extras. She shares key parts of each and asks thought-provoking questions to help you be more strategic and intentional in your business. The book is a great first step toward looking beyond the day to day and taking time to work " on" your business instead of "in" your business. Michelle knows firsthand about the success that comes when you slow down, get strategic, and focus beyond the day to day activities in your business. Throughout her career she brought companies to great heights by focusing first on the foundation and then on the "stuff" and the "extras." She later used what she learned as she started her own company and, true to form, saw tremendous results. Today Michelle works with entrepreneurs, small businesses and nonprofits to help them be strategic and intentional in all they do so they can see the success they've been dreaming of. The book offers insight into how Michelle works with her clients in her Magnify Your Marketing program where they build a plan for their business in just three days and her Marketing Morsels Coaching Club where she continues working with clients and provides guidance as they carry out their plan.
