The story of how and why some women choose to use, while others refuse, cosmetic intervention. What is it like to be a woman growing older in a culture where you cannot go to the doctor, open a magazine, watch television, or surf the internet without encountering products and procedures that are designed to make you look younger? What do women have to say about their decision to embrace cosmetic anti-aging procedures? And, alternatively, how do women come to decide to grow older without them? In the United States today, women are the overwhelming consumers of cosmetic anti-aging surgeries and technologies. And while not all women undergo these procedures, their exposure to them is almost inevitable. Set against the backdrop of commercialized medicine in the United States, Abigail T. Brooks investigates the anti-aging craze from the perspective of women themselves, examining the rapidly changing cultural attitudes, pressures, and expectations of female aging. Drawn from in-depth interviews with women in the United States who choose, and refuse, to have cosmetic anti-aging procedures, The Ways Women Age provides a fresh understanding of how today's women feel about aging. The women's stories in this book are personal biographies that explore identity and body image and are reflexively shaped by beauty standards, expectations of femininity, and an increasingly normalized climate of cosmetic anti-aging intervention. The Ways Women Age offers a critical perspective on how women respond to 21st century expectations of youth and beauty.

Volume 60 of this annual journal explores a range of Byzantine subjects: the classification of stamping objects (including six previously unpublished metal stamps); the date and purpose of the construction of Constantinople's church of Saints Sergius and Bacchus; the Coptic Church's literary construction of its identity in post-conquest Egypt; the evidence for the tenth-century revision of the so-called "Chronicle of 811"; an unusual development in the iconography of St. Menas; and versions of Niketas Choniates' "History." Also included are editions and translations of Byzantine Communion prayers newly discovered in Massachusetts and two funerary epigrams written by Manuel Philes; both articles include commentary. The volume concludes with reports from 2003 and 2004 on Dumbarton Oaks-supported archaeological fieldwork projects on a church in Bizye and an aristocratic rock-cut Byzantine settlement in Cappadocia.
Praise for "How to Sell at Margins Higher Than Your Competitor" "This is the complete book for both new and experienced
salespeople and business owners to learn and re-learn the
essentials for success. How to Sell at Margins Higher Than Your
Competitors emphasizes the pricing strategies and tactics to
increase the market share and profits of any organization. This is
a book that is as important to presidents as it is to
salespeople." "As the largest service provider in our industry, we have a
significant market advantage. However, we constantly walk the
pricing tightrope because, as this book so clearly states,
'business is a game of margins . . . not a game of volume!'" "If you live and die on price, this book could be your only
lifeline." "How to Sell at Margins Higher Than Your Competitors
successfully illustrates profitable sales truths to assist us in
selling for maximum return. This book's well-researched, logical,
and affirming words validate the simple fact that as a premium
company we deserve premium margins. So, while our competitors
reduce or match prices out of fear and scarcity, our managers,
thanks to this powerful sales tool, can continue quoting and
closing with profitable confidence." "I learned a long time ago that it is pretty difficult to
control what my competitors will do, but we must control what we
do--like maintaining margins. This book is a 'wow!' that will help
my salesmen crack bad habits. Salesorganizations should design
their entire training programs around the content in this
book." "This energizing book is the 'right stuff' for every sales
force. It should be a required study for every executive and sales
professional who seeks to be successful."
