Drawing on extensive, research, the Cunningtons illuminate the role and function of underwear: it protected the wearer against the elements, supported costume shapes, served as an erotic stimulus, symbolized class distinctions, and fulfilled other social, sanitary, and economic functions. Beginning with the Middle Ages, the authors cover centuries of clothing history, including the Tudor period, the Restoration, the Victorian and Edwardian eras, and the twentieth century up to the eve of World War II. In a well-documented, profusely illustrated volume combining impressive scholarship with an entertaining, often humorous style, two distinguished clothing historians consider undergarments worn by the English over the past 600 years. The Times Literary Supplement (London) Underwear - practical garments with a utilitarian function or body coverings that serve an erotic purpose? As this fascinating and intelligently written study shows, the role played by underclothing over the last several centuries has been a varied one. thoroughness and most impressive scholarship.

This entire book could have easily been cut down to maybe 4 chapters. Instead of continuing that growth, Restore Me seems like a money grab from Mafi and we are stuck reading about entitled and whiny characters. The thought the original series was entertaining and I liked the characters development that we were part of. This may be an unpopular opinion, but I was incredibly insulted as a reader that this is the level of writing that was given to us. So here are my (clearly very annoyed) thoughts about this book: I couldn't believe that these characters that had been so strong int he first series had been reduced to these annoying, whiney people who spent an entire book crying about such ridiculous things. So I was incredibly disappointed when I read this book. I was a fan of the Shatter Me series and couldn't wait to get my hands on Restore Me after 6 years of waiting, we were finally getting a continuation of Juliette's story! The conclusion to Ignite Me left us with little information about what would happen next for these characters, so all readers were definitely excited to find out what happens after Juliette takes over the sector. When I was much younger, I had a crush on a boy name Michael, but his character is based off my husband, protective, romantic, and silly at times. I can still picture her face, just like an angel. I named Claudia after a student I once had many years ago. She is exactly how I described her, social butterfly who knows everything about her friends and fashion. He was very likable and was a best friend to all his friends. Many people like Davin, which I’m really happy about because his character was inspired by my friend who passed away. Her first car, her first job, her first experience at camping and her grandmother having a stroke was all part of me. I didn’t think I would have much to write about, but when I made Claudia to be more like me, it was easy. Chapter two is also based on my dream as well. I decided to start from a dream I had in high school, chapter one. When these characters came to life in my mind, along with the character Gamma, inspired by my grandmother, it was a way for me to heal. I started writing Crossroads after my grandmother passed away. In I heart Hollywood Angela Clark is given a big opportunity to go to Hollywood and interview the gorgeous actor James Jacobs. She had to get away from everyone so she fled to New York which is where we left her in the first book building her new life, dating and writing her blog for the Look. Angela has moved to New York after she found her husband having an affair in the back of their car at their best friend's wedding. The main character of the I heart books is Angela Clark. As you would have seen from my previous reviews I didnt realise these books were part of a series and I had read the last one before the first!! I heart Hollywood is the second of three books in Lindsey Kelks I Heart series and having enjoyed the other two in the series I decided to read the middle remaining one.

The prototype property is available if people want to inherit. Now, Doug has been coding software for a long time, therefore it makes sense to listen to what he has to say. The Good Parts is really a story of how enlightenment came to be on Mr. No other book has had quite the impact on the JavaScript ecosystem as Douglas Crockford’s The Good Parts. When they want one, they call Xyz.create(), and get back a new, initialized object of my type. Douglas Crockford The Good Parts Examples. the create() function is for users of my type. I return an object with a create() function, and a prototype property. This means I have a private space to work without making a mess in the global namespace. You can find his object creation function here: if (typeof Object.create != 'function') )(). However, JS is as it is so go and use "new". He (IMHO rightly) says that the way it turned out JS is conflicted, prototype based but with this one thing from "classical class" inheritance languages. I understand this particular statement to be more on an "academic" level, what SHOULD have been HAD the language been designed "right" and not with some leftovers of the class-based inheritance stuff. However, the YUI(3) team itself uses "new", and they DO follow his recommendations (since he's the Yahoo chief JS architect (UPDATE: he moved on, but the statement was true when this response was originally written). Crockford gives an example for an object creation function as should have been provided by JS itself in one of his Javascript talks available on SIEGEL: It was also arranged for piano for four hands, so that gave him some assist in understanding what it sounded like. It says he had just gotten it it had just been published. He had the score in front of him, so essentially it's a review of the score. And Hoffmann had not heard Beethoven's Fifth. SIEGEL: One of the most striking things about this review is it's, of course, by Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann. MATTHEW GUERRIERI: It was really both the first extended review of the fifth symphony that we have, and it was also really this one particular review that is the bridge between Beethoven as a composer of the classical era and Beethoven as this sort of almost musical mascot of the German Romantic movement, which became really one of the most long-lasting and persistent images of Beethoven that we have. Hoffmann in 1810, not long after the symphony was first performed. And as Guerrieri writes, one of the most influential reviews of that work was written by E.T.A. SIEGEL: The book is about how Beethoven's 5th symphony. I came across his name last Christmas season in Matthew Guerrieri's book "The First Four Notes." Hoffmann, born 1776, died 1822 in the Kingdom of Prussia. His name used to be hugely famous, but nowadays it draws blank stares, even from people who know his work.
