Abstract: At age nineteen, young Eton graduate Eric Blair set sail for India, dreading the assignment ahead. Along with several other young conscripts, he would be trained for three years as a servant of the British Empire, overseeing the local policemen in Burma. Navigating the social, racial, and class politics of his fellow British at the same time as he learned the local languages and struggled to control his men would prove difficult enough. But doing all of this while grappling with his own self-worth, his sense that he was not cut out for this, is soon overwhelming for the young Blair. Eventually, his clashes with his superiors, and the drama that unfolds in this hot, beautiful land, will change him forever.

Abstract: Fashion is ever-changing. While some styles mark a dramatic departure from the past, many exhibit subtle differences from year to year that are not always easily identifiable. With overviews of each key period and detailed illustrations for each new style, Edwards provides an authoritative visual guide to women's fashion across the centuries. This revised edition incorporates a more global, inclusive reach to illustrate and explain the journey between one style and another. Edwards also includes a non-binary appreciation of modern garments, and the intellectual shifts in the way women's fashion is both inspired and inspires. -- adapted from back cover
