This compelling and timely book tells you the key chemicals you should avoid, reveals just how natural 'organic' beauty products really are, and features a directory highlighting the health issues surrounding a wide range of products, from hair gel to sunscreens.

A generation defining exposé of toxic beauty culture in our digital age and how it is harming women We are living in a new age of beauty. With advancements in cosmetic surgery, augmented reality face filters, photo editing apps, and exposure to more images than we were ever meant to see, we have the ability to craft ourselves in whichever way we please. We pinch, pull, squeeze, tweeze, smooth and slice ourselves beyond recognition. But is modern beauty culture truly empowering? Are we really in control? In every era there is a beauty ideal. Yet, today the pressure to attain and retain the perfect body is compounded by our addiction to sharing every angle of ourselves online. In an age of influencers and social media, modern beauty culture is all-consuming and it is hurting the lives of women around the world. From Love Island to lip filler, blackfishing to the beauty tax, Ellen Atlanta reconfigures our understanding of women's relationship with beauty culture to account for the digital age. Providing an eye-opening account of the realities young women face under a dominant industry, Pixel Flesh unmasks the absurdities of the dystopia we find ourselves living in. Both a rallying cry and a refusal to suffer in silence, this is a vital insight into what it feels like to exist as a woman in a digitally obsessed world.

"Toxic Beauty: The Art of Frank Moore is the most comprehensive presentation to date of work by this remarkable artist whose life was cut short by AIDS. Curated by independent scholar Susan Harris with Grey Art Gallery director Lynn Gumpert, the exhibition features approximately 35 major paintings and over 50 gouaches, prints, and drawings, as well as numerous sketchbooks, films, maquettes, source materials, and ephemera. The exhibition is accompanied by an amply illustrated catalogue with essays by Susan Harris, renowned critic Klaus Kertess, and artist/activist Gregg Bordowitz. Harris evokes a compelling portrait of the multitalented artist as revealed through his personal papers and notebooks. Kertess examines Moore's recurrent themes and eclectic influences while situating the artist's work within a larger art historical context. Finally, Bordowitz sheds light on Moore's passionate AIDS activism and how his work conveys feelings of loss, fear, and hope as well as gay male identity during the early days of the pandemic. The catalogue will also include a selected bibliography, chronology, and excerpts from Moore's own writings. Both the exhibition and catalogue will highlight previously unpublished archival material--such as sketchbooks and documents--culled from the vast Frank Moore Papers, totaling 44 linear feet, housed at NYU's Fales Library. These archival materials provide fascinating insights into Moore's life and work: the sketchbooks reveal his penchant for journaling and his extraordinary draftsmanship. The drawings include detailed preparatory studies for his large-scale paintings and custom-crafted frames, as well as lighthearted vignettes of a more personal and even humorous nature."--Publisher's website.

Toxic waste dumps, industrial brownfields, acid mine drainage sites. For Julie Bargmann, this is what the great American landscape has become, and she wants you to know about it. Bargmann, a landscape architect and environmental advocate, sees our polluted national heritage as a responsibility we must all face, and Toxic Beauty: A Field Guide to Derelict Terrain is her manual on how to do just that. The book is divided into three parts. In the first, a manifesto, Bargmann argues for the urgent need to creatively regenerate our polluted landscapes without covering up America's industrial history. Here, Bargmann illustrates the potential beauty in land littered with mine refuse and scarred by acid-laced waters, and describes the devastating danger of inaction. In part two, she presents seven of her own innovative projects, including her Vintondale acid mine treatment park, her designs for Ford's notorious River Rouge plant, and her designs for green spaces in Rem Koolhaas's Un-City plan for New York City. The book concludes with a comprehensive, annotated listing of governmental, nonprofit, and private resources for anyone working on industrial sites. A handy guide for designers, students, and planners, it will include essential EPA regulations relevant to the rehabilitation of degraded landscapes.
