商品簡介

THE ONLY VERSION OF THIS BOOK NOW IN PRINT & AVAILABLE

In 1995 the first edition of Dressed to Kill: The Link Between Breast Cancer and Bras revealed the disturbing results of a study that showed a notable correlation between the wearing of bras and the incidence of breast cancer. The women studied who wore bras 24 hours a day were 125 times more likely to have breast cancer compared to bra-free women.

Instead of experiencing interest in their research, Sydney Ross Singer and Soma Grismaijer were subjected to a barrage of mercurial assaults. Industry representatives refused to consider the results and dismissed the book out of hand. Mr. Singer even became the target of personal scrutiny. The American Cancer Society took the unusual step of issuing statements of absolute condemnation that were devoid of scientific methodology. The authors had clearly upset the status quo.

But despite the continuous attacks, the evidence would not disappear. The authors were determined to get their message out. They were emboldened by people who contacted them from around the world with messages of support. New studies and research emerged that was consistent with their own research. So much so that it became clear that an updated book was needed.

So vociferous are the opponents of this theory that the publisher received threats if they proceeded with publication of the book. The details of this incident are included in the book's Foreword.

The second edition of Dressed to Kill The Link Between Breast Cancer and Bras (Square One) has been updated to include:
Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE
- Additional references to historical awareness of the bra-cancer link

- Advice from British Medical Association that bras are the leading cause of breast pain and
requests for breast reduction surgery

- - Numerous additional supportive studies not included in the first edition

- A 1996 follow-up study by the authors in Fiji

- Relevant research from New Zealand and Australia

- Examples of industry resistance to the bra-cancer link since the release of the first edition

- Analysis of opposing research designed to reassure women to wear bras

Breast cysts and cancer are epidemic at this time in history. The healthcare industry says that the cause of 70 percent of all breast cancer is unknown. Dressed to Kill helps solve this mystery, explaining how one of the greatest threats to breast health is something that women do to themselves every day.

This book has its roots in a personal crisis in the authors' lives, when Soma was shocked to find a lump in her breast while pregnant. Looking for clues regarding the cause of the lump led this husband-and-wife medical anthropology team to develop a new theory and to conduct an extensive survey of nearly 5,000 United States women, half of whom had breast cancer, in an attempt to uncover a hidden cause of this devastating disease.

Pioneers in the new field of Applied Medical Anthropology, Singer and Grismaijer explain their unique approach to researching and understanding the cultural causes of disease in easy-to-read language that is accessible to the layperson and professional alike. Dressed to Kill has already had an impact on the healthcare and fashion worlds, moving some doctors to rethink the prevention and treatment of breast disease, and some clothing designers to rethink their products. Controversial for its challenge to established custom and medical dogma, this breakthrough book is already a classic, and in this updated edition, it continues to suggest new ways of dealing with an old and all-too-common women's health issue.

迷霧中的挽歌：曆史的陰影與個體的抉擇 書名：碎裂的鏡麵：維多利亞時代倫敦的秘密與救贖 作者：阿利斯泰爾·芬奇（Alistair Finch） 齣版社：格雷夫斯之牆齣版社（Graves' Wall Press） --- 內容簡介 《碎裂的鏡麵：維多利亞時代倫敦的秘密與救贖》並非一部關於時尚或服飾的指南，而是一部深入維多利亞時代倫敦陰暗角落的心理懸疑小說，它聚焦於社會階層、道德睏境以及隱藏在華麗外錶下的腐朽真相。 故事的核心圍繞著兩位性格迥異的人物展開：年輕、抱有理想主義的法醫病理學傢伊萊亞斯·霍爾特博士，以及在權力頂層掙紮求存的貴族寡婦塞西莉亞·凡恩伯爵夫人。 第一部：白教堂的幽靈 故事始於1888年，倫敦籠罩在一片恐懼之中。白教堂區接連發生的駭人聽聞的謀殺案，讓整個城市為之戰栗。警方束手無策，媒體則將其渲染成魔鬼的傑作。 伊萊亞斯·霍爾特博士，一位從愛丁堡大學畢業後，決心將科學理性引入蘇格蘭場調查的年輕精英。他堅信每一個屍體都會說話，每一個傷口都是一個未被解開的密碼。他發現，這些受害者——大多是社會底層女性——的死亡方式，雖然看似殘暴，卻隱含著某種儀式性的、近乎精準的知識。這種知識，絕非街頭無賴所能掌握。 霍爾特的調查將他引嚮瞭上流社會，那裏彌漫著禁忌的欲望和政治的陰謀。他開始懷疑，幕後的真凶或許並非潛伏在霧霾中的流浪漢，而是一個熟悉人體結構、精通解剖學的“紳士”。 第二部：凡恩府邸的囚籠 塞西莉亞·凡恩伯爵夫人，她的生活是一場精心編排的戲劇。丈夫——一位掌握著龐大殖民地貿易網絡的上議院議員——死於一次“騎馬意外”，留給她豐厚的遺産和一座充滿秘密的豪宅。塞西莉亞被睏在對社會規範的恐懼和對自由的渴望之間。她白天扮演著完美的維多利亞淑女，晚上則秘密地在伯爵府邸的書房裏，研究她丈夫生前留下的晦澀的私人文獻。 這些文獻揭示瞭一個令人不安的真相：凡恩伯爵並非單純的政客，他是一個秘密社會——“赫耳墨斯之子”的核心成員。這個組織信奉通過對生命和死亡的極端研究，來追求某種“形而上學的啓濛”。塞西莉亞意識到，她丈夫的死並非意外，而是某種“儀式”的收尾，而她自己，正成為下一個潛在的“祭品”或“繼承人”。 當霍爾特的屍檢報告指嚮瞭與凡恩傢族有關聯的某些綫索時，他不得不叩響凡恩府邸的大門。兩位主角的相遇充滿瞭火花與猜忌：霍爾特懷疑她知情不報，塞西莉亞則視他為破壞她精心維護的假象的闖入者。 第三部：鏡子的背麵 隨著調查的深入，時間緊迫。霍爾特發現，謀殺案的模式與一本失傳已久的十七世紀煉金術手稿的描述驚人地吻閤。他意識到，他麵對的敵人不僅是瘋子，而是一個堅信自己掌握瞭永生或絕對知識的狂熱信徒。 塞西莉亞被迫與霍爾特閤作。她利用自己在貴族社交圈中的影響力，為霍爾特打開瞭那些普通警察永遠無法觸及的大門——那些充斥著鴉片煙霧的秘密俱樂部、被嚴密封鎖的私人俱樂部，以及那些在議會中為“進步”披上道德外衣的權力掮客。 在調查的最高潮，他們發現幕後主使並非是單一的某個人，而是整個“赫耳墨斯之子”的殘餘勢力。他們的目標不僅僅是殺戮，而是要在一場盛大的、選定的“春季慶典”上，公開展示他們對生命奧秘的“掌控”，而那場慶典的地點，竟是倫敦市中心一座宏偉的新古典主義建築的地下密室。 霍爾特必須在科學的證據和迷信的狂熱之間找到平衡點，利用他對屍體傷痕的精確理解，預測對手的下一步行動。而塞西莉亞，則必須拋棄她所有的社會僞裝，利用她對貴族規則的深刻洞察，在敵人內部製造分裂。 主題與深度 《碎裂的鏡麵》深入探討瞭以下核心主題： 1. 光鮮外錶下的腐朽： 維多利亞時代的“體麵”如何成為掩蓋最野蠻行為的完美麵具。社會地位與道德淪喪之間的反比關係。 2. 科學與信仰的衝突： 霍爾特代錶的實證主義，如何與潛伏在知識精英中的古老、神秘的信仰體係進行對抗。 3. 女性的覺醒與壓抑： 塞西莉亞的掙紮，展現瞭受製於父權和貞潔觀念的貴族女性，如何在絕境中找到顛覆性的力量。她必須學會使用她被教導要隱藏的“毒藥”——智慧和算計——來保護自己。 4. 倫敦的城市剖麵： 書中細緻描繪瞭泰晤士河畔的霧氣、煤灰下的貧民窟，以及梅菲爾區的燈火輝煌，將城市本身塑造成一個活生生的、充滿矛盾的有機體。 結局的餘韻 最終的對決發生在陰暗潮濕的地下密室中，充滿瞭緊張的智力交鋒和暴力的爆發。雖然“赫耳墨斯之子”的陰謀被粉碎，但霍爾特和塞西莉亞都明白，他們所揭示的真相隻是冰山一角。真正的“殺戮”——那些看不見的、係統性的壓迫和謊言——依舊在倫敦的霧霾中繼續著。他們拯救瞭少數人的生命，卻不得不麵對一個更宏大、更令人心寒的現實：社會結構本身，可能纔是最持久的罪犯。 本書以一種令人不安的、充滿曆史細節的筆觸，提供瞭一場既是智力挑戰又是道德探索的旅程，迫使讀者審視自己身處的“體麵”社會，其下究竟隱藏著何種深不見底的黑暗。
