At age fourteen, designer and artist BillyBoy* had a transformative experience, brought on by the discovery of an Elsa Schiaparelli hat in a Parisian flea market. So began a love affair with Schiaparelli clothes that has lasted more than forty years. For BillyBoy*, Schiap's designs are talismans: they not only show how the chic designer revolutionized fashion, but also speak to him powerfully about how she lived her life. An artist working in Switzerland with a glamorous and fascinating past, BillyBoy* adopted Schiap as a guardian angel of sorts and has spent a lifetime searching for her through her clothes. Inspired by Shocking Life, Schiap's own memoir, this book will resonate with anyone who loves historic haute couture. Built around some of the most iconic pieces ever created by the designer, it is a book about endless discoveries and the meaning that can be transmitted across decades by a simple piece of clothing. Peopled by dazzling characters from Schiap's inner circle and the worlds of art and fashion in 1970s and 1980s New York, London, and Paris, this is a scintillating yet profound homage to a woman who saw life as art, and who inspired a young boy to do the same.746.9/2092746.92092BillyBoy*1245191Druesedow Jean1245192MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910154681403321Frocking Life2888091UNINA02635nam 2200481z- 450 991034675360332120210211(CKB)4920000000094178(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/42200(oapen)doab42200(EXLCZ)99492000000009417820202102d2018 |y 0engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierBiogenic Amines and Neuromodulation of Animal Behavior, 2nd EditionFrontiers Media SA20181 online resource (238 p.)Frontiers Research Topics2-88945-564-5 Since Erspamer and Boretti, 1951 first described the biogenic amine octopamine in the octopus salivary gland as a molecule with "adrenaline-like" action, decades of extensive studies demonstrated the important role octopamine and its precursor tyramine play in invertebrate physiology and behavior. This book contains the latest original research papers on tyramine/octopamine and their receptors in different neuronal and non-neuronal circuits of insects. </p>Additonally, this book elucidates in detail the latest research on the function of other biogenic amines and their receptors, such as dopamine and serotonin in insects and mice. The reviews in this book summarize the most recent research on the role of biogenic amines in insect antennae, synaptic development, and behavioral modulation by spontaneous dopamine release in Drosophila. Finally, one perspective paper discusses the evolution of social behavior and biogenic amines. <br><br>We recommend this book for all scholars interested in the latest advanced research on the role of biogenic amines in animal behavior. <br><br>ITS dedicates the topic to her teacher, Plotnikova Svetlana Ivanovna (1922-2013).NeurosciencesbicsscApis melliferadopamineDrosophilaG-protein coupled receptors (GPCR)neural circuitsoctopamineolfactory learning and memoryserotonintype I and II synaptic boutonstyramineNeurosciencesBrian H.
