Style and Substance
'A compelling new encyclopaedia of style' Harper's Bazaar 'In a world of fleeting trends, Bay Garnett has created an accessory to treasure, earning Style and Substance an enduring place in the canon of fashion literature.' i-news For Bernardine Evaristo, style is about a refusal to be stereotyped. Heels make Charlotte Tilbury feel powerful while Chloë Sevigny delights in the traditional, with a twist. Jilly Cooper and A J Tracey appreciate diamonds; Zadie Smith adapts her wardrobe depending on the city and Rachel Weisz loves the democracy of denim. Sienna Miller misses the freedom of a less self-conscious age. With over sixty pieces on everything from Davina McCall on the importance of underwear to Stanley Tucci on the elegance of a narrow stripe, this is a gloriously eclectic celebration of self-expression.

Jack & Helen Frye Story
From the shadows of beyond the words pour forth like summer rain....

The Role of the Physical Environment in Ancient Greek Seafaring
In this study of the world of ancient Greek mariners, the relationship between the natural environment and the techniques and technology of seafaring is focused upon. An initial description of the geology, oceanography and meteorology of Greece and the Mediterranean, is followed by discussion of the resulting sailing conditions, such as physical hazards, sea conditions, winds and availability of shelter, and environmental factors in sailing routes, sailing directions, and navigational techniques. Appendices discuss winter and night sailing, ship design, weather prediction, and related areas of socio-maritime life, such as settlement, religion, and warfare. Wide-ranging sources and illustrations are used to demonstrate both how the environment shaped many of the problems and constraints of seafaring, and also that Greek mariners' understanding of the environment was instrumental in their development of a highly successful seafaring tradition.

Textile Collections
Collections of textiles—historic costume, quilts, needlework samplers, and the like—have benefited greatly from the digital turn in museum and archival work. Both institutional online repositories and collections-based social media sites have fostered unprecedented access to textile collections that have traditionally been marginalized in museums. How can curators, interpreters, and collections managers make best use of these new opportunities? To answer this question, the author worked with sites including the Great Lakes Quilt Center at the Michigan State University Museum, the Design Center at Philadelphia University, the International Quilt Study Center and Museum at the University o...
Armistead and Garnett
Virginians Lewis A. Armistead and Richard B. Garnett, two Confederate officers killed during Pickett's Charge at Gettysburg, lived remarkably parallel lives. In this Civil War Short, Robert K.

The work was originally published in The Third Day at Gettysburg and Beyond, edited by Gary W.
