Perfumes: The Guide by Luca Turin & Tania Sanchez ~ perfume book review
2008-04-18 01:52:00 In a letter to his friend Oskar Pollak, Franz Kafka (1883-1924) once wrote: "I believe we should only read books that bite and sting. If a book we?re reading doesn?t wake us up with a punch on the head, what are we reading it for?" That punch on the head, that wake-up call, was a defining element in 20th century art. In Perfumes: The Guide, authors Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez describe their favorite perfumes in similar terms: a great composition takes you by surprise, exceeds your expectations, blows you away. Some people, of course, can't fathom why perfumes are worthy of serious consideration in the first place, let alone why they should be reviewed in a book. I'd recommend those naysayers to pick up a copy of Perfumes: The Guide, and read the short preliminary essays where the authors share their views on perfume aesthetics and criticism. In clear and simple words they explain why perfume is an art, why the industry should take consumers more seriously, and how a guide with u...

Perfumes: The Guide ~ Q & A with Luca Turin & Tania Sanchez
2008-04-01 00:53:00 As I said on Friday, Perfumes: The Guide by Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez is due to ship from Amazon on 4/10 (list price: $27.95, today's Amazon price: $18.45). The hardcover version is 400 pages and includes introductory material plus reviews of over 1200 fragrances. According to Penguin, the book will "do for fragrance what Robert Parker?s books have done for wine". Many of you have pre-ordered the book, or at least read about it (if you missed the review in the New Yorker, do take a peek), and all of you can skip to the second-to-last paragraph for instructions on how to add your questions to our group interview. Those of you who need some further introduction, read on. Luca Turin is described at Wikipedia as "a biophysicist with a long-standing interest in the sense of smell, the art of perfume, and the fragrance industry". He became known to wider perfumanity first through his Parfums: Le guide, published in French in 1992 and 1994 (you can find a .pdf of the 1994 edition her...

2008-03-28 22:55:00 As most of you already know, Perfumes: The Guide by Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez is due out in a couple weeks (current Amazon ship date: 4/10). For those of you who missed that news entirely, here is a little taste of what is to come: Stupid name, pink perfume, heart shaped bottle, little crown on top. I half expected it to be really great just to spite me. But no, it?s probably the most repulsively cloying thing on the market today. That's their take on Vera Wang Princess, reprinted from the wonderful review in the New Yorker. The authors have graciously agreed to answer our questions, so come back on Monday to post your question, then I'll post their answers the following week.

The Shroud of Turin: Hoax Against Reality
2008-03-24 15:37:00 'The 1988 analysis could be re-made.'For over 7 centuries, the tightly woven linen strip, displaying the vague image of a bearded man, has been worshiped as the burial shroud of Jesus. Texts signal the existence of the shroud since the first century. Two decades ago, radiocarbon dating showed that the Shroud of Turin had been just a medieval hoax. It is a morbid interest mixing science and religion. And the religious part does not want to give up. Now, the Oxford team that made the analysis wants to update the results based on subsequent technical advances. Those opposing the hoax variant can't wait."Now that we?re 20 years later, the technology certainly has improved," Barrie Schwortz, the photographer involved in the '80s Shroud of Turin Project and making part of the contester camp, told TODAY?s Matt Lauer.In 1978, scientists were allowed to take a look at the fabric kept at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Turin, Italy.

The Turin Shroud: Testing A New Hypothesis
2008-02-23 14:13:00 A BBC documentary, to be aired on Easter Sunday, is going to reopen the debate around the dating of the Turin shroud, one of the most controversial relics in Christendom. Venerated by many Catholics as the proof that Christ was resurrected from the grave, the shroud was dismissed as a brilliant, medieval fake twenty years ago, following radiocarbon dating. Indeed, in 1988, three reputable laboratories in Oxford, Zurich and Tucson, Arizona, concluded that the cloth on which the smudged outline of the body of a man is indelibly impressed, was a medieval fake dating from 1260 to 1390, and not the burial cloth wrapped around the body of Christ. Since then, the shroud has been at the centre of increasing debates over the validity of the carbon-14 tests. The latest claim, based on microchemical tests, suggested that the sample used for the 1988 dating was taken not from the shroud, but from a rewoven area of the linen. The documentary will investigate “a new hypothesis that co...

2007-11-08 09:08:00 DON is the next hope for NAGARJUNA to further his career. And so the Director LAWRENCE and the Producers from KEERTHI CREATIONS are leaving no stone unturned. Earlier a character was created for the NEW GOLDEN LEG of the Telugu film industry JAGAPATHI BABU. Almost every movie in recent times with Jagapathi Babu's involvement has been a success. A few examples are ANUKOKUNDA OKAROJU and LAKSHYAM. Jagapathi is donning the role of a POLICE OFFICER in DON. Wherein, Nagarjuna is playing a modern day ROBIN HOOD according to the industry sources.Now, the movie is being slated for release on 20th December. If you remember correctly it is the day that MANMATHUDU released 5 years ago. So, I just hope that DON will be as entertaining if not better than MANMATHUDU.
