In your face : the new science of human attraction / by Perrett, David,1954-;

Includes bibliographical references ( p. 235-280) and index."What makes a face attractive? Why are we attracted to certain faces and not others? In this fascinating and exuberant account from the frontiers of science, David Perrett, a winner of the prestigious Golden Brain award and one of the world's foremost experts in face perception, and Louise Barrett, an evolutionary psychologist, tell the amazing story of where the human face came from, and how our perceptions of the face affect the way we judge an individual's personality, health, trustworthiness, and suitability as a friend or lover. Revealing some truly eye-opening new findings that will change the way you see your own face and those of everyone around you, the authors explore provocative questions and sometimes unsettling facts: How much does facial symmetry really matter? Why do masculine-looking babies commonly grow up to behave like "masculine" adults? Why do so many people at age 50 really have the face they deserve? Why doesn't plastic surgery actually erase the years? What are the skin colors that are most attractive? (The answers are not what you might think.) How likely is it that you have friends that you consider ugly? Far from offering a license to be lookist, Barrett and Perrett offer proof that inner beauty is often what really matters in the mating game and in wider life. And studies prove it makes you better looking, too"--Fish face : A brief tour of the face and its origins -- Seeing faces : How we recognize faces and why we like them -- A baby's bias : Born to be fascinated by faces -- Beauty in balance : the proportions that really are universally attractive -- His and hers : How sex hormones influence our looks and our attraction to others -- The point of beauty : The face you get and the face you leave -- Fit face : How our health is reflected in our faces -- Wither the face : On the cuteness of babies and the effects of time -- Faces with attitude : How the personality we seek in a partner guides our face tastes -- All in the family : How parents and peers shape our attraction to faces -- Love potions : Transforming attraction to love.

The ways women age : using and refusing cosmetic intervention / by Brooks, Abigail T.;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 239-265) and index.Introduction : older women in cosmetic culture -- "I wanted to look like me again" : aging, identity, and cosmetic intervention -- "I am what I am!" : the freedom of growing older "naturally" -- "Age changes you, but not like surgery" : refusing cosmetic intervention -- "Can we just stop the clock here?" : promise and peril in the anti-aging explosion -- "Why should I be the ugly one?" : social circles of intervention -- "It's not in my world" : living as a natural ager -- Conclusion : taking the body back -- Epilogue.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 today, 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.

Unmasking autism : discovering the new faces of neurodiversity / by Price, Devon,author.;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 265-289) and index."In Unmasking Autism, Dr. Devon Price shares his personal experience with masking and blends history, social science research, prescriptions, and personal profiles to tell a story of neurodivergence that has thus far been dominated by those on the outside looking in. For Dr. Price and many others, Autism is a deep source of uniqueness and beauty. Unfortunately, living in a neurotypical world means it can also be a source of incredible alienation and pain. Most masked Autistic individuals struggle for decades before discovering who they truly are. They are also more likely to be marginalized in terms of race, gender, sexual orientation, class, and other factors, which contributes to their suffering and invisibility. Dr. Price lays the groundwork for unmasking and offers exercises that encourage self-expression, including: Celebrating special interests; cultivating autistic relationships; reframing autistic stereotypes; and rediscovering your values."--Provided by publisher.
