A folkloric research project on Sefer ha-ma'asim.
- What is an Apollo knot? - Who wore a Welch wig? - When were
Zouave jackets the height of fashion? This new edition of The
Dictionary of Fashion History further updates the landmark work of
C. Willett Cunnington, Phillis Cunnington and Charles Beard.
Featuring over 60 new and revised entries on diverse topics such as
the Onesie, Brothel Creepers and the Birkin Bag, this edition is
even more comprehensive and brings this costume historian's bible
fully up to date. With many more images to accompany the text and
illustrate key fashions - including cartoons, prints and lavish
color photographs of surviving garments - this version of the
dictionary brings dazzling and unusual garments to life for
researchers, students, costume designers and everyone interested in
the subject. Clear, concise, and meticulous in detail, this
essential reference work answers countless questions relating to
the history of dress and adornment and will continue to be the
definitive guide for many years to come.
Seminal works on the tribes of the South West by one of its
earliest authorities
The author of this book is a well known and highly regarded author
on the history of the American south-west during the 19th century.
His works-On the Border with Crook and An Apache Campaign in the
Sierra Madre (both published by Leonaur)-concerning the wars fought
by the United States Army against the Apache Indian tribes, and
based on his experiences whilst a serving cavalry officer on
General Crook's staff, are rightly considered classics of the
subject. Those who know anything about the author know that Bourke
not only fought the Apache and served with Apache scouts but also
developed an abiding affection for them as a people and an interest
in the culture and customs of the indigenous Indian tribes of the
region in general. This resulted in the writing of several small
works of ethnography which have been gathered together in this
special Leonaur edition-possibly for the first time.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each
title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our
hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their
spines and fabric head and tail bands.
