SynopsisFair Philosopher, the first sustained scholarly study of The Female Spectator, brings together an impressive collection of established and upcoming Haywood scholars who challenge much of the received opinion about this groundbreaking journal. Several of the essays show that Haywood's periodical was far more political than is generally thought, that its connections to her career as a novelist are more intimate than has been recognized, and that The Spectator was a target as well as a model. This collection makes a convincing argument that Haywood's periodical deserves far more critical attention than it has received so far and suggests new lines of development for future Haywood scholarship., Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) is a controversial medical diagnosis characterizing individuals who experience intense and adverse responses as a result of exposure to chemicals, frequently at doses far below those known to cause harm to the general population. The substances that can trigger an attack are often solvents, pesticides, fresh paint, new carpets, diesel exhaust, perfumes, and air fresheners.This much-needed book reviews what is known about MCS, describing the symptoms, detailing possible explanations for it, and providing step-by-step methods for coping with the illness., Multiple chemical sensitivity is a controversial medical diagnosis characterizing individuals who experience intense and adverse responses as a result of exposure to chemicals, frequently at doses far below those known to cause harm.
