In ancient Greece, the scent of perfume was thought to signal the presence of a god. Breeze of the Gods starts its exploration of perfume in ancient Greece in the realm of these gods, searching for the mythological origins of perfume in the nebulous and complex interaction of gods and men. From there, the exploration follows perfumes development in the secular world, examining ingredients, production techniques, trade relationships, and pottery.
The perfumes of ancient Greece held a resemblance, at least in ingredients, to what we would recognize as perfume today. Lilies, bergamot, thyme, saffron, and dozens of other substances played a role in perfume. In Greece, spices were more sought after for perfume than flowers, but both played significant roles in developing the scents of the time. Like today, a waft of perfume was not as simple as it seemed and carried with it complicated implications of wealth, social status, and social philosophy. The wealthy embraced perfume and the poor sought out cheaper forms to emulate the rich, causing a race to find more exotic ingredients that could be used to distinguish one's social standing from other perfume users.
The great thinkers of the time declared war on the substances, from Solon's legal reforms that made the production of perfume illegal to Socrates who contended that the odor of exercise was the proper emblem of a free man. Breeze of the Gods explores these olfactory aspects of ancient Greece and allows us to explore history with our sense of smell.

Описание: This is the first empirically-grounded and theorised account of the identity, characteristics and motivation of fundraisers in the UK. Based on original data collected during a 3-year study of over 1,200 fundraisers, the book argues that it is not possible to understand charitable giving without accounting for the role of fundraising.
Описание: Charitable fundraising has become ever more urgent in a time of extensive public spending cuts. However, while the identity and motivation of those who donate comes under increasingly close scrutiny, little is known about the motivation and characteristics of the ‘askers’, despite almost every donation being solicited or prompted in some way. This is the first empirically-grounded and theorised account of the identity, characteristics and motivation of fundraisers in the UK. Based on original data collected during a 3-year study of over 1,200 fundraisers, the book argues that it is not possible to understand charitable giving without accounting for the role of fundraising.

Описание: To the Edge is the author's chronicle of how she goes through her life giving so much of her time, love, energy and self to others but never doing for herself, nor accepting anything in return. She loses herself in her efforts to protect herself for fear of being vulnerable. Much to her shame and disappointment, she realizes that she is broken. Her family was the glue that held her together for years and suddenly, the family is no longer intact. Now she must pick up the pieces, silence the noise and quiet the storm within her. Through many valuable lessons, tapping into the church inside of her and pressing her way through the many days of dark solitude she learns that hurt and pain are a part of life, along with other things about herself. She realizes that God wants her to come to him as an empty cup before his full fountain and allow him to fill her and guide her to the edge so that she may soar. It is then that she finds the peace and joy that she has always longed for while learning that happiness is a choice. The transformation of her life is shared in hopes of encouraging other women to put more emphasis on taking care of themselves while caring for their families. It is also intended for mankind to be more in tune with themselves, to strive to be whole and not broken, and to push daily to make life's journey to the edge. The edge represents becoming one with God and seeking to be what he has called you to be while living and loving to the fullest without regret and with the peace and joy of God.
