Memento Mori - Peter (author) Jones - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

Memento Mori - Peter (author) Jones - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

In this revealing and entertaining guide to how the Romans confronted their own mortality, Peter Jones shows us that all the problems associated with old age and death that so transfix us today were already dealt with by our ancient ancestors two thousand years ago.Romans inhabited a world where man, knowing nothing about hygiene let alone disease, had no defences against nature. Death was everywhere. Half of all Roman children were dead by the age of five. Only eight per cent of the population made it over sixty. One bizarre result was that half the population consisted of teenagers. From the elites'' philosophical take on the brevity of life to the epitaphs left by butchers, bakers and buffoons, Memento Mori (''Remember you die'') shows how the Romans faced up to this world and attempted to take the sting out of death.

The Home Stretch - Sally (author) Howard - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

The Home Stretch - Sally (author) Howard - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

Forty years of feminism and still women do the majority of the housework. Why?In fact, while women are making slow but steady gains on gender disparities in the workplace, at home the gap is widening - in the UK, the average heterosexual British woman puts in 12 more days of household labour per year than her male companion, while young American men are now twice as likely as their fathers to think a woman''s place is in the home. And when ''having it all'' so often means hiring a nanny or cleaner, is it something to aspire to? Sally Howard joins up with a cohort of feminist separatists, undertakes a day''s shift with her Lithuanian cleaner, lives in a futuristic model home designed to anticipate our needs and meets latte papas and one-percent parents in this lively examination which combines history and fieldwork with her personal story. The Home Stretch is a fascinating investigation into how we got here and what the future could look like for feminism''s final frontier: the domestic labour gap.

The British Dream - David (editor) Goodhart - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

The British Dream - David (editor) Goodhart - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

SHORTLISTED FOR THE ORWELL PRIZE 2014SHORTLISTED FOR THE PADDY POWER POLITICAL BOOK AWARDS 2014 In The British Dream , David Goodhart tells the story of post-war immigration and charts a course for its future. Drawing on hundreds of interviews with people from all over the country and a wealth of statistical evidence, he paints a striking picture of how Britain has been transformed by immigration and examines the progress of its ethnic minorities - projected to be around 25 per cent of the population by the early 2020s. Britain today is a more open society for minorities than ever before, but it is also a more fragmented one. Goodhart argues that an overzealous multiculturalism has exacerbated this problem by reinforcing difference instead of promoting a common life. The multi-ethnic success of Team GB at the 2012 Olympics and a taste for chicken tikka masala are not, he suggests, sufficient to forge common bonds; Britain needs a political culture of integration. Goodhart concludes that if Britain is to avoid a narrowing of the public realm and sharply segregated cities, as in many parts of the US, its politicians and opinion leaders must do two things. Firstly, as advocated by the centre right, they need to bring immigration down to more moderate and sustainable levels. Secondly, as advocated by the centre left, they need to shape a progressive national story about openness and opportunity - one that captures how people of different traditions are coming together to make the British dream.
