A Guide to the Psychology of Eating - Dr Stephanie P. Da Silva - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

A Guide to the Psychology of Eating - Dr Stephanie P. Da Silva - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Why are spicy cuisines characteristic of hot climates? Does our stomach or our brain tell us when it is time to eat? And how do we decide if bugs are food? Employing a learner-centered approach, this introduction to the psychological mechanisms of consumption engages readers with questions and cross-cultural examples to promote critical analysis and evidence-based comprehension. The discipline of psychology provides an important perspective to the study of eating, given the remarkable complexity of our food environments (including society and culture), eating habits, and relationships with food. As everything psychological is simultaneously biological, the role of evolutionary pressures and biopsychological forces are bases to explore complex processes within the book, such as sensation and perception, learning and cognition, and human development. The authors illuminate contemporary eating topics, including the scope and consequences of overnutrition, the aetiology of eating disorders, societal focus on dieting and body image, controversies in food policy, and culture-inspired cuisine. Supplemental resources and exercises are provided in a pedagogically-focused companion website.

Affirming the Imamate: Early Fatimid Teachings in the Islamic West - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Affirming the Imamate: Early Fatimid Teachings in the Islamic West - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

I.B. Tauris in association with the Institute of Ismaili StudiesThe two sermons edited and translated here for the first time are primary material from the years before the establishment of the Fatimid caliphate in 297/909. The authors have been identified as Abu ‘ Abd Allah al-Shi '' i and Abu’l- ‘ Abbas Muhammad, two brothers who were central to the success of the Ismaili da'' wa in North Africa. Da''wa , a term used to describe how Muslims teach others about the beliefs and practices of their Islamic faith, therefore provide a unique view of the nature and development of Islam throughout history. In this case, the primary texts shed light on the development of Islam among the Berbers of the Maghreb. The first text by Abu ‘ Abd Allah al-Shi '' i shows how the arguments for belief in the ''imamate'' of the family of the Prophet, that is, the Shi''a belief that all imams should be spiritual descendants of the Prophet Muhammad and his household, were developed and presented to bring new adherents to the cause. The Book of the Keys to Grace by his elder brother Abu’l- ‘ Abbas, too, concerns not only the centrality of the imam in the faith but also sheds light on the hierarchy of the da ’ wa in this early period and its organisational sophistication. Both texts also reveal the contemporary theology propagated by the Ismaili da ’ wa , including for instance, the powerful analogy of Moses/Aaron and Muhammad/ ’ Ali, the awareness of a variety of religious traditions and the use of detailed Qur’anic quotations and a wide range of hadith. As such they constitute primary source material of interest not only for Ismaili history but for this early period of Islam in general.

Race in American Musical Theater - Josephine Lee - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Race in American Musical Theater - Josephine Lee - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

While most discussions of race in American theater emphasize the representation of race mainly in terms of character, plot, and action, Race in American Musical Theater highlights elements of theatrical production and reception that are particular to musical theater. Examining how race functions through the recurrence of particular racial stereotypes and storylines, this introductory volume also looks at casting practices, the history of the chorus line, and the popularity of recent shows such as Hamilton . Moving from key examples such as Show Boat! and South Pacific through to all-Black musicals such as Dreamgirls, Bring in ‘da Noise, Bring in ‘da Funk, and Jelly’s Last Jam , this concise study serves as a critical survey of how race is presented in the American musical theater canon.Providing readers with historical background, a range of case studies and models of critical analysis, this foundational book prompts questions from how stereotypes persist to “who tells your story?”

Lemon - Kwon Yeo Sun - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Lemon - Kwon Yeo Sun - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

This is not a murder story. It is the story of those left behind. Parasite meets The Good Son in this piercing psychological portrait of three women haunted by a brutal, unsolved crime. In the summer of 2002, Kim Hae-on was killed in what became known as the High School Beauty Murder. There were two suspects: Shin Jeongjun, who had a rock-solid alibi, and Han Manu, to whom no evidence could be pinned. The case went cold.Seventeen years pass without justice, and the grief and uncertainty take a cruel toll on her younger sister, Da-on, in particular. Unable to move on with her life, Da-on tries in her own twisted way to recover some of what she''s lost, ultimately setting out to find the truth of what happened.Shifting between the perspectives of Da-on and two of Hae-on''s classmates, Lemon ostensibly takes the shape of a crime novel. But identifying the perpetrator is not the main objective here: Kwon Yeo-sun uses this well-worn form to craft a searing, timely exploration of privilege, jealousy, trauma, and how we live with the wrongs we have endured and inflicted in turn. Praise for Lemon : ''Discovering whodunnit isn''t really the point here; Lemon is a subtle, often intense meditation on the after-effects of violence'' Guardian ''Chilling, suspenseful and disconcerting... I couldn''t put it down and read deep into the night until I finished it, with my heart hammering'' Frances Cha, author of If I Had Your Face

The Resurrection of Mary Magdalene - Dr. Jane Schaberg - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The controversy surrounding Dan Brown''s novel The Da Vinci Code has intensified interest in Mary Magdalene and Jane Schaberg provides an authoritative source for a deeper understanding and re-assessment of this popular figure. Within a progressive feminist framework, The Resurrection of Mary Magdalene approaches Christian Testament sources through analysis of legend, archaeology, and gnostic/apocryphal traditions.

For more than five centuries The Last Supper has been an artistic, religious and cultural icon. The art historian Kenneth Clark called it ''the keystone of European art'', and for a century after its creation it was regarded as nothing less than a miraculous image. And yet there is a very human story behind this artistic ''miracle''. Ross King''s Leonardo and the Last Supper is both a ''biography'' of one of the most famous works of art ever painted and a record of Leonardo da Vinci''s last five years in Milan.

Building the European Union - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

This book charts the evolution of EU law (both internal market and institutional law) through the jurisprudence of one of its leading jurists. Few have as close an eye-witness view of the evolution of European Union law as judges at the ECJ. They not only observe, however, but actively work towards its development. This collection assesses the momentous contribution to European Union law made by José Luís da Cruz Vilaça. Taking those areas of law which were directly shaped by his judgments (institutional law/internal market/free movement of persons and judicial review), leading scholars assess his legacy. Through this prism, the story of EU law can be charted.

The story of the Renaissance city and palace of Urbino, and the life of the extraordinary man who created it: Federico da Montefeltro. ''Painstakingly researched and yet unfailingly readable'' Ross King ''An insight into one of Renaissance Italy''s most glamorous courts'' Catherine Fletcher ''The perfect tour guide to the past'' Literary Review ''A fabulous merging of seductive design with bravura scholarship'' Alexandra Harris ''A superior study... Packed with detail'' TLS The one-eyed mercenary soldier Federico da Montefeltro, lord of Urbino between 1444 and 1482, was one of the most successful condottiere of the Italian Renaissance: renowned humanist, patron of the artist Piero della Francesca, and creator of one of the most celebrated libraries in Italy outside the Vatican. From 1460 until her early death in 1472 he was married to Battista, of the formidable Sforza family, their partnership apparently blissful. In the fine palace he built overlooking Urbino, Federico assembled a court regarded by many as representing a high point of Renaissance culture. For Baldassare Castiglione, Federico was la luce dell''Italia – ''the light of Italy''.Jane Stevenson''s affectionate account of Urbino''s flowering and decline casts revelatory light on patronage, politics and humanism in fifteenth-century Italy. As well as recounting the gripping stories of Federico and his Montefeltro and della Rovere successors, Stevenson considers in details Federico''s cultural legacy – investigating the palace itself, the splendours of the ducal library, and his other architectural projects in Gubbio and elsewhere.

Darwin's Ghosts - Rebecca Stott - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Soon after publication of On the Origin of Species, Charles Darwin received a letter that deeply unsettled him. He had expected outrage and accusations of heresy, but this letter was different: it accused him of taking credit for a theory that wasn''t his. Yet when he tried to trace his intellectual forebears, he found that history had already forgotten them...Rediscovering Aristotle on the shores of Lesbos and Leonardo da Vinci fossil hunting in the Tuscan hills, this is a masterful retelling of the collective daring of a few like-minded men, whose early theories flew in the face of prevailing political and religious orthodoxies and laid the foundations for Darwin''s revolutionary idea.

No Wider War - Sergio Miller - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

No Wider War is the second volume of a two-part exploration of America’s involvement in Indochina from the end of World War II to the Fall of Saigon. Following on from the first volume, In Good Faith , which told the story from the Japanese surrender in 1945 through America’s involvement in the French Indochina War and the initial advisory missions that followed, it traces the story of America’s involvement in the Vietnam War from the first Marines landing at Da Nang in 1965, through the traumatic Tet Offensive of 1968 and the gradual Vietnamisation of the war that followed, to the withdrawal of American forces and the final loss of the South in 1975. Drawing on the latest research, unavailable to the authors of the classic Vietnam histories, including recently declassified top secret National Security Agency material, Sergio Miller examines in depth both the events and the key figures of the conflict to present a masterful narrative of America’s most divisive war.

Gran Meccanismo - Mark Galeotti - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

2023 ENNIE NOMINATED FOR BEST WRITING A roleplaying game of fantastical inventions and Machiavellian politics in Renaissance Italy. It is the Year of Our Lord 1510, and one has to wonder how differently history could have played out if Niccolò Machiavelli, the military commissioner of the Republic of Florence, had not understood the true scale of Leonardo da Vinci’s genius. In such a world, the visionary might simply have wasted his time painting portraits of women and doodling in a sketchbook. Instead, he unleashed a technological revolution where primitive computers, decorated with delicately painted cupids, run on water clocks; spring-powered tanks whir across the battlefield, cannons thundering from their flanks; and gliders flit across perfectly blue Tuscan skies. Gran Meccanismo is a roleplaying game of swashbuckling adventure in a Renaissance Italy where Florence''s winding alleys play host to spies, scholars, and sell-swords alike. Players are nobles, mercenaries, inventors, and artisans who may find themselves crossing wits with Machiavelli, avoiding the dangerous charms of Lucretia Borgia, or hearing Christopher Columbus telling tales of the new world he has discovered...
