Round Buildings, Square Buildings, Buildings That Wiggle Like A Fish won't fit into the curriculums of many schools but its appearance in 1988 earned it high recommendation as a basic introduction for all ages, to the world of architecture. This reprint of Round Buildings, Square Buildings, Buildings That Wiggle Like A Fish invites new generations to take a different look at the buildings we use. Beautiful photos abound.

Book Description
This thought-provoking volume transports readers to France of the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries, beginning with Napoleon's love of perfume and the erotic importance he attached to it, through the lore and symbolism fragrance enjoyed in eighteenth and nineteenth-century Europe. By the early twentieth century, perfume's place as one of France's most important luxury industries was recognized and celebrated, and timeless fragrances—such as Chanel No. 5, Shalimar, Arpeges, and Joy—were launched. The distinctive bottles for these new essences and the art movements that inspired their design are detailed throughout the book, as are paintings, poetry, and literature that reveal the power of perfume and its ability to recall the past and evoke sensuality. According to nineteenth-century perfumer Eugene Rimmel, "the history of perfume is, in some manner, the history of civilization." Through fascinating text accompanied by gorgeous imagery, including packaging, labels, and advertisements, Perfume: Joy, Scandal, Sin explores perfume's impact on history, culture, society, art, and attitudes.
Product Description
The 2007 edition lists more than 5,000 fragrances and more than 600 new releases. Scents are classified under thirteen easy-to-understand families, making it a joy to try new fragrances.

Customer Reviews:
not quite what I expected, but useful nonetheless.......2006-11-03
Thought it would go into detail about the fragrances. Rather, it's a listing of thousands of fragrances under their particular type (woody, mossy, etc.). Useful for that reason, but not useful if you want to know any back story about a particular fragrance.
Book Description
Enter the unexpected and intriguing realm of scent, where fragrances have the power to calm as well as to stimulate. These tales from the ancient quest for pleasing aromas offer a microcosm of history's larger movements, from the scented sails of Cleopatra's barges to modern-day fashion trends. This book is more than a historical overview of one of the world's oldest industries, although it's comprehensive, well-researched, and scrupulously accurate in its details. Neither is it just a book of pretty pictures, even though it's abundantly illustrated with lovely drawings and photographs that include every variety of perfume bottle, ads, paintings, as well as famous (and infamous) figures. Fragrance pursues its subject's very essence, with a rich panoply of insights that ranges from the botanical origins of fragrant oils and the role of aromatics in economic and religious life to the ways in which scents influence behavior and chemists extract, preserve, and reproduce fragrances. A fascinating stirring of the senses.
Customer Reviews:
Wonderfully informative .......2006-08-10
The information presented in this book is amazing in its scope and depth. Histories of anything usually leave me bored, but I was thoroughly impressed by the unusual yet thorough way Morris presented the information. It is not intended to be a how-to manual. The word history in the title should tell you that. If you just want to know how to make perfume, soap, candles, etc. and don't want to be knowledgeable about your product then this is not for you. Personally, I found it fascinating.
Focus is on fragrance history.......2003-04-09
I rented this book out from the library hoping to learn more about the steps taken to create a fragrance. Unfortunately, the information there is sparse compared to the amount of time the author spends on the history of fragrance. The chapter on essential oils is excellent and provides a nice introduction. The section on the business of fragrance is paltry. The author writes well and the information is straightforward.
Book Description
Pamper your body and refresh your soul with this irrisistibly self-indulgent book. Try simple embellishments and styling to create wonderfully evocative settings for your bathroom, however small it might be.

Customer Reviews:
Excellent!.......2004-04-13
Fragrances of the World is an invaluable resource. As the number of annual fragrance introductions reaches dizzying heights, it is more important than ever for professionals to keep abreast of new fragrances. (Thank you, Mr Edwards; If we don't have answers for our clients, it makes us look like amateurs.)
As I understand, Mr Edwards researches all new fragrance introductions and is an expert on classifying scents. This is the 20th annual edition of his book (btw: I received my copy very quickly) and it is well worth the price for the amount of information contained.
Mr Edwards developed this system for fragrances; he classifies fragrances by twelve scent types, such as floral, oriental, dry woods, citrus, etc., then divides these classes into four subclasses, such as fresh or rich, etc. There are further divisions based on notes, such as rose, or jasmine. There is a cross reference by House, and divisions for masculine, feminine and shared scents. He explains each category in very succinct terms, making it easy to understand and impart your knowledge to clients. The colored category tabs make it easy to use.
There is no way I could begin to function without this book, and my production has soared since I found this book. I give one to special clients at holiday season, and they've come to rely on it, too. I can't say enough about this book; it's beautifully produced. Mr Edwards is a true professional and his work is groundbreaking. There's nothing else even remotely like it; this is the book the pros consult, from perfumers to marketers to sales associates.
I also recommend his other book, Perfume Legends, which is a stunning in-depth history of French perfumes for women. He works with another author, Jan Moran, whose Fabulous Fragrances books have detailed perfume descriptions; she provides descriptions/reviews for online content programs with Edwards. Edwin T. Morris also writes good books on the general history of fragrance. Trust yourself to these authors, and you'll be ready for anything. But for learning and understanding scent classifications, Fragrances of the World is the absolute best. Even if I didn't work in the industry, I'd buy this for sheer enjoyment and knowledge.
Book Description
Over the years, fans have lovingly accompanied Darryl and Wanda MacPherson on their evolving journey as parents-and what a trip it's been! Filled with temper tantrums and tender affection, with flying food, potty training, and sibling rivalry, Baby Blues has become one of the most beloved family-oriented comic strips in the world. When Zoe was first born, Darryl and Wanda stood back as their home was transformed by chaos. Just as the tyke was going mobile, Wanda found out she was pregnant again, and we watched as the family adapted to the demands of two kids. Now Zoe has matured into a big sister to baby Hamish-who's learning to walk and talk, in addition to rolling. The MacPhersons find their lives have become immeasurably richer, except in terms of actual income! Now comes a special tenth anniversary treasury of the beloved strip, featuring Sundays in all their colorful glory. It should come as no surprise that Baby Blues collections, such as One More and We're Outnumbered, threats, bribes & videotape, and Night of the Living Dad, have been best-sellers. That's because countless Baby Blues fans can identify with the MacPhersons, who balance never-ending mayhem around toys and vegetable consumption with an undying love and quest to raise their little ones into healthy adults. Parents and nonparents alike have fallen head-over-heels for the sidesplitting, yet realistic, family humor that Baby Blues has consistently delivered to their homes over the past decade.
Customer Reviews:
as good as the first.......2006-02-17
Material is as funny as the first book years ago. Our whole family enjoys Baby Blues. I'm proud to support comics in the "wholesome, clean, safe for the family" category, like Peanuts started by Charles Schulze so long ago.
No other comic mirrors my life like this one........2000-12-12
I first picked up a copy of Baby Blues when I was on my honeymoon in US. Never saw it before in my life, but after flipping through a few pages of this, I was hooked. Todate, I've ended up with the entire set in my house, all read over and over again.
The strips simply mirror my life as a parent, although I don't quite have Wanda's benefit of being a SAHM. I personally have 2 kids who are have a very close age gap of only 14 months. Wanda and Darryl's misadventures and experiences couldn't be more realistic for parents or parents-to-be.
I've introduced it to my friends, who have become hooked as well and some of them have the whole collection as well.
Buy a copy. You won't go wrong!
A great gift idea and more.......2000-05-24
You already know which comic strips you like, right? But newspapers don't carry every comic strip, so it's possible you aren't familiar with Baby Blues. It's also possible you like the strip but wondered what happens "behind the scenes." You might even be looking for a "housewarming" type gift in the $10-20 range.
I've been introduced to some of my favorite comic strips over the years. So this is my recommendation to the people who haven't heard of Baby Blues. My tastes range from Dilbert, The Far Side, and Calvin & Hobbes to the more obscure Overboard, Robotman and Fusco Brothers to the gentleness of For Better or Worse and Peanuts. Basically, I don't like a lot of "syrup," but my comics must have sensitive human observation. Baby Blues has a raw warmth, with more energy than "For Better" and more realistic characters than "Peanuts."
I enjoyed Baby Blues before my child was born, but it really "hits home" now. It's amusing with or without your own children. But if you're one of the "withs," the book doubles as a mirror!
I always find the lives of the artist and what goes into their drawings interesting from a perspective standpoint. (I liked "The PreHistory of the Far Side.") "10 Years and Still in Diapers" gives this perspective during the early chapters and in a friendly, mildly self-deprecating way.
Instead of yet another bottle of wine, why not bring this book to your next casual get together? Instead of yet another outfit, why not make this a baby shower gift? Besides being "painfully" entertaining, it's attractive enough for the coffee table.
Guilty pleasure for the childless-by-choice!.......2000-03-13
Here is a whole collection of "Baby Blues", a clever, brutally honest comedy satire all about child-rearing from a couple of good ol' "been-there" daddies! Features a well-meaning but know-nothing dork of a dad, a disgruntled, long-suffering mommy who smiles graciously through clenched teeth, and - the big stars of the strip - Zoe, the precicous but spoiled rotten brat in perky red pigtails and Ham, the pin-headed baby of the whole family with a personality to match his name! A very generous helping of really crazy domestic misadventures for the new parents to find comfort and reassurance in as well as for the happily childless to gloat outrageously over!
Great, funny and enjoyable ,.......2000-01-26
shows real life problems with growing up and parenting while giving you an enjoyable funny point of veiw
