The Lost Art Of Dress: The Women Who Once Made America Stylish By Linda Przbyszewski chats with Dr. Alvin
Linda Przybyszewski Click Here To Listen As a glance down any street in America quickly reveals, American women have forgotten how to dress. We chase fads, choose inappropriate materials and unattractive cuts, and waste energy tottering in heels when we could be moving gracefully. Quite simply, we lack the fashion know-how we need to dress professionally and flatteringly. As historian and expert dressmaker Linda Przybyszewski reveals in The Lost Art of Dress, it wasn’t always like this. In the first half of the twentieth century, a remarkable group of women—the so-called Dress Doctors—taught American women how to stretch each yard of fabric and dress well on a budget. Knowledge not money, they insisted, is the [...]

Instead of teaching the tried-and-true case studies involving GE and Microsoft, these three wise men decided to pull their heads out of their ivory towers and go in search [...]
Darwin’s Doubt: The Explosive Origin Of Animal Life And The Case For Intelligent Design By Stephen Meyer chats with Dr. Alvin
Stephen Meyer-Darwin Doubt The Evidence That Darwin Could Not Explain Charles Darwin knew there was a significant event in the history of life that his theory did not explain.

In Darwin's Doubt, Stephen C.

With a new epilogue that responds to critics.
