‘I’ll be raiding this Wonder Pantry of a book for years to come … Diverting, delightful and deliciously weird enough to satisfy the most demanding appetite.’ - Christopher Hadley, author of The RoadWhen did we start throwing salt over our shoulder? hy do British people chase cheese down a hil? here can loving couples win a side of baco? hat cake keeps witches from your doo? olklorist Ben Gazur guides you as he rummages through the dark cupboards of British history to uncover how our strange food habits and traditions have been passed down through the generations. Get a taste of what life was like in a time when food was both magical ingredient and sustenance: when an apple kept the doctor away, predicted who you would marry, and entertained children in a game involving burning candles. Hilarious and fascinating, A Feast of Folklore will introduce you to the gloriously eccentric folk who aren’t often noticed by historians. Herein lies a smorgasbord of their dark remedies and deadly delicacies, just waiting to be discovered.
Humanitarianism
Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring Humanitarian crises are a central problem of modern history and contemporary international relations. According to United Nations estimates, 300 million people required humanitarian assistance and protection in 2024 alone, due to displacement, armed conflict, food insecurity, disasters, and the consequences of climate change. The international humanitarian system, in turn, plays a powerful role in 21st century global affairs. Since the 1990s, the aid sector has ballooned in size and influence. It is now a multi-billion-dollar industry, employing hundreds of thousands of people globally. In a clear, accessible, and concise narrative, Humanitarianism: A Very Short Introduction explains how and why this situation came to be. In this book, historian Julia F. Irwin traces the events and trends that defined modern humanitarianism, from the eighteenth century up to the present day. It describes the origins of international humanitarian action, the development of major humanitarian organizations and movements, the evolution of international humanitarian law, and the expansion of the international humanitarian sector. It examines organized efforts to save lives, alleviate suffering, and maintain human dignity amid major conflicts, disasters, refugee crises, and other humanitarian emergencies. At the same time, Irwin shows how beliefs about race, gender, religion, and nationality have historically influenced humanitarian sentiments and actions. Attuned to the distinctions between wartime, postwar, and non-conflict situations, Irwin assesses criticisms waged against humanitarian actions and debates over the legitimacy of humanitarian interventions. This Very Short Introduction also teases out the complex relationship between humanitarianism, human rights, and international development. Finally, this book surveys diverse and competing humanitarian traditions throughout the world, placing humanitarian ideals and practices in a global context.

A Chorus of Ears

A Terribly Nasty Business
After achieving her lifelong dream of solving a murder, bringing a killer to justice, and proving she is not, in fact, a morbid creep, Beatrice Steele feels like everything is finally falling into place. She's traded her etiquette-obsessed community of Swampshire for the big city of London, accompanied by her ever-trusty chaperone, Miss Bolton. They've settled in a lovely neighborhood, Sweetbriar, known for its proximity to the Sweet Majestic theater, picturesque pleasure gardens, and an unfortunate infestation of flying squirrels. But Beatrice's favorite part is that Sweetbriar is also home to D.S. Investigations, the new office she opened with the prickly, annoyingly logical Inspector Drake to solve the city's brutally thrilling crimes. However, nothing is turning out how Beatrice imagined it would. Sir Huxley, famed gentleman inspector and Beatrice's former crush, is still considered the real investigator in London, so the only cases left for Beatrice and Drake are lost pets and spectacles. Not that Beatrice has much time for crime-solving, anyways, as her mother still expects her to find an eligible (rich) husband to protect their family from destitution. Beatrice is struggling to balance all the demands on her and begins to wonder if she can become a true detective in a city that feels full of false promises. That is until a string of murders thrusts Beatrice and Drake into the center of a scandal that pits the neighborhood's wealthiest against the arts community, spreading fear and chaos throughout the city. As they follow the trail through bewildering ballrooms, secretive shops, and odd operas, Beatrice must survive threats to her partnership, her business, and her place in society to break the case--before it's too late.

A testben őrzött múlt
Ez az úttörő könyv a legfrissebb kutatások segítségével tárja fel, hogyan hagy nyomot a trauma a testünkben egészen sejtszinten, és új lehetőséget kínál a valódi, teljes testi gyógyulásra.
Bár ma már többet tudunk a mentális egészségről, mint valaha, a hagyományos orvoslás még mindig összetéveszti a trauma finom jeleit a stresszel, szorongással vagy krónikus betegségekkel, néha pedig elavult és félrevezető módszerekkel akár újra is traumatizálhatja a betegeket. Az elmére fókuszáló kezelések csak a következményeket kezelik, a testi tünetek kezelésére irányuló szokásos orvosi megközelítések pedig nem vizsgálják a gyökérokokat, és nem segítik elő az igazi felépülést.
Ha valóban meg akarunk gyógyulni, testben zajló folyamatként és nem egyszeri külső eseményként kell tekintenünk a traumára. Elengedhetetlen, hogy világosan lássuk, hogyan őrzi meg testünk a tapasztalatokat, melyek hatást gyakorolnak testi egészségünkre, valamint arra is, képesek vagyunk-e egészségesen viselkedni és egészséges kapcsolatokat fenntartani. Ebben segít Dr. Aimie Apigian integratív, forradalmi megközelítése.
Egy évtizednyi klinikai kutatást bemutatva, valamint érthető történetekkel és valós példákkal A testben őrzött múlt feltárja előttünk:
- hogyan raktározza el a test a túlterhelő és fájdalmas élményeket;
- hogyan ismerhetjük fel a trauma gyakran figyelmen kívül hagyott jeleit – például a tartós kimerültséget, a „ködös” gondolkodást vagy az indokolatlan szorongást;
- miként hatnak a testben elraktározott érzelmi sebek sejtszinten az egészségünkre – még akkor is, ha kívülről sikeresnek tűnik az életünk;
- hogyan előzhetjük meg azokat a testi változásokat, amelyek gátolják a gyógyulást;
- hogyan dolgozhatunk együtt idegrendszerünkkel a biztonságos felépülés érdekében, anélkül, hogy újra traumatizálnánk magunkat.
A testben őrzött múlt mind a személyes fejlődést keresők, mind a gyógyítók számára tökéletes, mély betekintést nyújt az elme és a test működésébe és a gyógyulás útjába.
Energikusan 40 felett
Ez a könyv iránytű a változókor útvesztőjében: közérthetően elmagyarázza, mi történik a testeddel és a lelkeddel, és megmutatja, hogyan lehetsz újra energikus – 40 felett is. A szerző 54 éves személyi edző, táplálkozási tanácsadó, gerinctréner és menopauza coach, aki nap mint nap ugyanazokkal a problémákkal szembesül, mint Te. Fejezetei célratörők: menopauza-alapismeretek, táplálkozás, testmozgás, napi rutin, az első 12 hét lépésről lépésre, „ünnepi túlélő” stratégiák, majd hosszú távú fenntartás. A hőhullámtól az alvásig, a csontsűrűségtől a bélflóráig mindenről szó esik – és minden tanács könnyen beépíthető a hétköznapokba. Ha akarod, ez az időszak nem lezárás, hanem új kezdet: jobb közérzet, feszesebb test, tisztább fej, több életkedv. Lapozz bele, és kövesd hétről hétre a gyakorlati lépéseket. A jövőd már elkezdődött.
Judaism

Solomon considers how Judaism is perceived and understood in the 21st century, discusses how Judaism deals with issues such as feminism, gender, homosexuality, and gay marriage, and looks historically at the relationship between Judaism and the Muslim faith.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.
