"The Hats We Wear" touches on some of the history and traditions of hats and headdresses from various cultures, as well as the people who wear them. The intent is to help eliminate any prejudice and misconceptions about people, their lifestyles and beliefs. Understanding cultural differences here and abroad and why hats/headdresses are important to some people, will help others understand/respect the global traditions and beliefs associated.Consequently, this is not a book about how to wear hats. It's a book about people and their faith(s), tradition(s), honor, purpose, protection, understanding and tolerance, feeling good about oneself, confidence, (and if you choose) just making a fashion statement. It is important to be open-minded (without feeling the need to ridicule one another) about our differences. As it stands, hats have been both an object of ridicule and beauty throughout the ages. This book only touches on commonly-worn hats and scarves. Currently, there are thousands of hat styles and head dressings. As such, many are not represented in this book.

Everyone has an opinion about it too! Your friends. Your friends’ friends. Your parents. Your coach(es). Your pastor. Even your grandparents. You see, our society is built around the idea that “sex sells” and not surprisingly, it does. That’s why it’s everywhere you look and also, why so many people have such strong opinions about it.

Is there a limit? •How can sex affect me? Physically? Emotionally? Spiritually? •What’s the point of waiting until I’m married to have sex? •What does it mean to be abstinent?The 5 Things Every Teen Should Know About Sex is intended to help you in your journey to answer the above questions for yourself. You see, to get a proper understanding of sex, you must first see what its inventor, God, has to say about it. After all, He created it, so who better to learn from? With this new knowledge, you will be able to make the right choices about sex; choices that will protect you and ultimately, please God.

Maude's excellent translation of Tolstoy's treatise on the emotionalist theory of art was the first unexpurgated version of the work to appear in any languages. More than ninety years later this work remains, as Vincent Tomas observed, one of the most rigorous attacks on formalism and on the doctrine of art for art's sake ever written. Tomas's Introduction makes this the edition of choice for students of aesthetics and anyone with philosophical interests.
