It charts the historical development of cosmetics, delving into their significance and ethical concerns in shaping societal standards of beauty. The cosmetics industry has evolved hand in hand with human aspirations for better hair, skin, clothing, and makeup. The book encompasses a wide range of topics, including early cosmetics origins, ethical dilemmas in the industry, and the regulatory landscape that emerged to enforce ethical standards. The ethical dimension will address issues like the mistreatment of animals in cosmetics testing and ingredient safety. Intriguingly, the book explores marketing strategies of the fifties and sixties, specifically those targeting children and teenagers, with a focus on cosmetic dolls like Miss Revlon and Miss Clairol. It will also cover the unique history of cosmetics, including the history of the use of blood in the makeup industry. The book offers a comprehensive, well-researched, and thought-provoking perspective on the cosmetics industry, drawing attention to aspects of its history, ethics, and societal impact that have not been widely explored in a single work before. It will engage readers with an informative narrative that spans centuries and a spectrum of compelling topics related to beauty and cosmetics.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eBiography\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAuthor(s):\u003c\/span\u003e \n\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDr. Ellen Tsagaris is Executive Director of the American Doll and Toy Museum, and Emerita Professor of Literature, Law, Ethics, and Spanish, Purdue University Global, USA.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eReviews\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"As I read Ellen M. Tsagaris’s historical exploration of humans decorating themselves in War Paint: Ethics and Beauty, I am reminded of the Book of Ecclesiastes as updated by Pete Seeger, “to everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven.” The text exhaustively covers humankind’s need to ornament itself from pre-history through to the contemporary era. What strikes me most from the text is the exhaustive referencing of source materials from antiquity (archeological finds) to the most contemporary use of film, television, and social media. In many ways, the book is less a narrative concerning cosmetics than an encyclopedic exploration, through mostly short, focused chapters, of the ebb and flow of face and body decoration from primarily the western world. The reader is free to accept or reject the claims made by the author; however, her copious documentation from third-person sources as well as her personal life experiences and those described of other family members provide a degree of verisimilitude that is difficult to refute. Tsagaris references work she has published in the past on both doll-culture and human behavior and shares images from her own collection(s) from her American Doll and Toy Museum in Rock Island, Illinois, along with Public Domain materials. Tsagaris’s years in the classroom appear to have influenced her intentions for this volume as it contains Study Questions at the end of each chapter. The reader may wish to read over the questions before reading the chapter in question to get a sense of what Tsagaris believes are the high points to be drawn from each chapter. The roughly 24 pages of references provide the reader with plenty of source material for further reading. War Paint: Ethics and Beauty should join other reference texts on the subject.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Professor Emeritus Michael Hustedde, St. Ambrose University, Davenport, Iowa\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ethics Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44866791964714,"sku":"baz1789710777025","price":27.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44866791997482,"sku":"xth1789710777026","price":72.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"eBook","offer_id":44866792030250,"sku":"ykm1789710777027","price":27.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/0709\/8154\/files\/war-paint-ethics-and-beauty_1.jpg?v=1789710791","url":"https:\/\/layerreadywear.shop\/products\/war-paint-ethics-and-beauty","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
