I will keep the list updated. If you have a book to add, please leave a comment (with your name/affiliation if you would like it included).įor my own selection, I have to go with one also suggested by a colleague below: The Book of Memory: The Study of Memory in Medieval Culture by Mary Carruthers. They include a wide range: from a few primary medieval texts to mostly modern non-fiction and fiction. As was expected, many were eager to share their selections! These are the ones suggested to date, and there will likely be more in the future. Inspired by all of the end-of-the-year lists for this and that, particularly one in The Independent entitled “Professors at America’s elite colleges pick one book every student should read in 2017,” I decided to ask medievalists from around the world (and not only at “elite” colleges, whatever that means) to compile our own list of must-read medieval studies books for students.

My enchantment would take me where it would.” He adds: “Chasing waves in a dedicated way was both profoundly egocentric and selfless, dynamic and ascetic, radical in its rejection of the values of duty and conventional achievement.”Īnd yet, Finnegan writes: “I did not consider, even passingly, that I had a choice when it came to surfing. The book’s title, in fact, comes from Finnegan’s dawning realization as a teenager that a total commitment to surfing would lead “toward a scratched-out frontier where we would live as latter-day barbarians.” But far beyond being simply a collection of wave-bound war stories, “Barbarian Days” traces the evolution of surfing from underground passion (“Gidget” notwithstanding) through the explosion in popularity catalyzed by the late-1960s shortboard revolution.įinnegan also chronicles in often painfully personal terms the toll on relationships - with family, friends and lovers - that came with the moments of bliss his surf obsession brought him.

But its undoing, I suggested in The Darker Nations, came less from its own contradictions and more from that of changes in the global architecture, namely the slow decline of the USSR bloc and the rise of a more confident North Atlantic bloc, institutionalized in the G7 (1974). The Project was contradictory, rife with all kinds of problems. It gave an account of the complex and hopeful elements of the Project-the fight to create space for political sovereignty, economic development, and social justice. That book, published in 2007, told the story of the Third World Project from 1927-8 (the League Against Imperialism meeting in Brussels) to 1983 (the Non-Aligned Movement summit in Delhi).

As Einstein once said, “If you cannot keep it simple, you haven’t understood it well enough”. And even though her work is based on human physiology and biochemistry, she found a way to keep science simple. Her books are easy to read and very visual practical guides. Although she believes in free will and that our weight reflects the choices we’ve made, she clearly describes the limits of your responsibility and completely dismisses self blame. Her brutally honest book “5 Gears Diet” provides all the information we ever needed to know about fat gain and fat loss, so we can get how these mechanisms work once and for all. She advocates a healthy lifestyle in which all foods can be eaten and no long workouts are necessary to be fit and slim as long as we are fully informed. After she graduated Medical University she extended her medical knowledge in sport nutrition, nutrition for weight loss and children nutrition as she became a nutritionist. This heartwarming novel by Mary Balogh really had a different slant from others. For behind the appearances of the once-grand lady and the once-humble man are two people who share an understanding of what true honor means, and how only with it can one find love.Īnother Heartwarming Novel by Mary Balogh If at first Gil and Abigail seem to embody what the other most despises, each will soon discover how wrong first impressions can be. Gil has come to help his friend and junior officer recover, and he doesn't take lightly to being condescended to - secretly because of his own humble beginnings. He is Gilbert Bennington, the lieutenant colonel and superior officer who has escorted her wounded brother, Harry, home from the wars with Napoleon. Indeed, she's grown confident enough to scold the careless servant chopping wood outside without his shirt on in the proximity of ladies. But now, six years later, she enjoys the independence a life without expectation provides a wealthy single woman. First appearances deceive in the newest charming and heartwarming Regency romance in the Westcott series from beloved New York Times best-selling author Mary Balogh.Ībigail Westcott's dreams for her future were lost when her father died and she discovered her parents were not legally married. So, STDs is an issue that couples still have to watch out for.Īdditionally, in the midst of the negotiated infidelity debate, I hear another issue that I think deserves attention: sexless marriages. The risk for STDs becomes an even greater issue when married couples don’t re-institute condoms into their sexual affairs after they take on other partners. This means that husbands could unknowingly transmit an infection that causes cancer to their wife after an affair. And, men still do not have a widely available test available for HPV. Hill’s take: “If you take control of the reins, you aren’t going to have STDs, because you’re in control of the situation and you’re making sure that they use protection.” Newsflash: Herpes and HPV are two STIs that women can get from skin to skin contact. While I included one portion of Hill’s debate with Frankel, Hill made a comment later in the debate about STDs that needs to be addressed. Further, all this talk about negotiating infidelity may be obscuring one possible reason some marriages may be sexless. While this sounds good in theory, the costs of possible STIs may outweigh the benefits. The Australian mistress turned-author’s new book Sugarbabe is a great big public service announcement for what she calls “ negotiated infidelity,” where partners develop rules in the context of a marriage to have affairs with other people. Folks just can’t get enough of Holly Hill. |
