Women and the far right
by Lois Shearing
A daring investigation that explores how women are targeted and recruited by the far right. As the far right has gained popularity and acceptance around the world, its ranks have swelled with an unlikely category of members: women. Women play significant roles in far-right movements, acting as propagandists, prizes to be won and mother-warriors of the nation. But up to now their activities have been largely overlooked. In Pink-pilled, Lois Shearing provides a cutting-edge account of how the far right has used the internet to recruit women, while shedding light on what life is like for women within these movements, including their experiences of misogyny and violence. Understanding how and why women join movements that explicitly aim to restrict their autonomy is essential if we want to fight back. Pink-pilled offers key insights for countering women's radicalisation and building communities resistant to far-right thought.

2021Self-medication in Pregnancy and Breast-feeding
Counselling handbook
by Dr. Annette Abhau
Cough, hay fever or herpes are at least as troublesome during pregnancy and breast-feeding as under normal “conditions” - and yet everything is different. Physiological changes to the body in pregnancy and lactation, together with the vulnerability of the unborn baby or infant, set particular requirements when selecting the correct, safe medication. Especially in the area of self-medication, the needs of pregnant and breast-feeding women for information are great and call for competent advice! This comprehensive handbook is the key: General information about pharmacotherapy, supplementary measures, vaccinations, questions about diet and infections in pregnancy and lactation creates a broad knowledge base. The core feature of the book are the traffic light tables, with precise recommendations for medicinal products for all types of treatment. All the important indications for selfmedication in pregnancy and lactation are listed and the tables are supported by detailed explanations of the individual assessments. The sections “Advice from medical specialists” are particularly useful, with additional tips from gynaecologists and “Footnotes” with relevant information on the use of prescription- only medicines – and as the ultimate practical tool: the enclosed sales counter leaflets with all traffic light tables to enable quick reference for first-class advice!

2022A Healthy Pregnancy with Selected (Micro)Nutrients
by Uwe Gröber
Adequate nutrition and a healthy lifestyle – before and during pregnancy - are of great importance for a trouble-free pregnancy, birth, and the subsequent development of the child. Since the nutritional status before the onset of pregnancy influences both fertility and the course of pregnancy, including complications, the birth and breastfeeding, close attention should be paid to a healthy diet and adequate supply of essential (micro)nutrients well in advance and not only at the family planning stage. Poor micronutrient status prior to conception is often carried over into pregnancy, and can significantly increase the risk of pregnancy complications and, for example, lead to the dreaded spina bifida in the child. This patient guide tells you what you need to know! Various micronutrients are described in detail. Special emphasis is placed on the latest study results concerning pregnancy and nutrition.

Literature & Literary StudiesJanuary 2013The world of El Cid
Chronicles of the Spanish Reconquest
by Simon Barton, Richard Fletcher
Makes available, for the first time in English translation, four of the principal narrative sources for the history of the Spanish kingdom of León-Castile during the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Three chronicles focus primarily upon the activities of the kings of León-Castile as leaders of the Reconquest of Spain from the forces of Islam, and especially upon Fernando I (1037-65), his son Alfonso VI (1065-1109) and the latter's grandson Alfonso VII (1126-57). The fourth chronicle is a biography of the hero Rodrigo Díaz, better remembered as El Cid, and is the main source of information about his extraordinary career as a mercenary soldier who fought for Christian and Muslim alike. Covers the fascinating interaction of the Muslim and Christian worlds, each at the height of their power. Each text is prefaced by its own introduction and accompanied by explanatory notes.

2021Drugs in Pregnancy and Lactation
Guidelines for physicians and pharmacists
by Prof. Dr. Klaus Friese, Prof. Dr. Klaus Mörike Prof. Dr. Gerd Neumann and Dr. Wolfgang E. Paulus
The risks in connection with the unborn child and infant when prescribing and dispensing medicinal products are adequately known. However, a sound knowledge of safety issues and precise recommendations – rather than the blanket forgoing of medicinal treatment – is crucial for providing expert, professional advice. To meet this special responsibility, a reliable source of information is essential. The now ninth edition of this standard reference work provides the necessary professional knowledge not only for all physicians and pharmacists who wish to support their pregnant and breast-feeding patients through competent advice, but also for midwives: - Information about embryonal development and developmental disorders - Well over 1000 drug substances with all important medicinal products, assessed individually - Classification according to FDA and ADEC - Differentiated risk assessment, based on current literature - Personal recommendations of the experienced and well-known team of authors from the realms of gynaecology, paediatric medicine and clinical pharmacology. The new edition contains many new assessments from current studies.

The ArtsMarch 2008Holy motherhood
Gender, dynasty and visual culture in the later middle ages
by Elizabeth L'Estrange, Steve Rigby
This study brings images of holy motherhood and childbearing into the centre of an art-historical enquiry, showing how images worked not only to script and maintain gender and social roles within patriarchal society, but also to offer viewers ways of managing those roles. Some of the manuscripts discussed are relatively unknown and their images and texts are made available to readers for the first time. Through an adaptation of Baxandall's 'period eye', the study considers the many 'cognitive habits' acquired by aristocratic lay women - and men - through familiarity with prayers for childbirth, the lying-in ceremony and the rite of churching. It then uses this methodology to interpret the images and prayers in six bespoke manuscripts, including the Fitzwilliam Hours and the Hours of Marguerite of Foix. The book will appeal to advanced students, academics and researchers of Art History, Illuminated Manuscripts, Medieval History and Gender Studies. ;

Humanities & Social SciencesApril 2023Becoming a mother
An Australian history
by Carla Pascoe Leahy
Becoming a mother charts the diverse and complex history of Australian mothering for the first time, exposing the ways it has been both connected to and distinct from parallel developments in other industrialised societies. In many respects, the historical context in which Australian women come to motherhood has changed dramatically since 1945. And yet examination of the memories of multiple maternal generations reveals surprising continuities in the emotions and experiences of first-time motherhood. Drawing upon interdisciplinary insights from anthropology, history, psychology and sociology, Carla Pascoe Leahy unpacks this multifaceted rite of passage through more than 60 oral history interviews, demonstrating how maternal memories continue to influence motherhood today. Despite radical shifts in understandings of gender, care and subjectivity, becoming a mother remains one of the most personally and culturally significant moments in a woman's life.

Business, Economics & LawOctober 2004Qualities of food
by Mark Harvey, Andrew McMeekin, Alan Warde
In this book, the complexity and the significance of the foods we eat are analysed from a variety of perspectives, by sociologists, economists, geographers and anthropologists. Chapters address a number of intriguing questions: how do people make judgments about taste? How do such judgments come to be shared by groups of people?; what social and organisational processes result in foods being certified as of decent or proper quality? How has dissatisfaction with the food system been expressed? What alternatives are thought to be possible? The multi-disciplinary analysis of this book explores many different answers to such questions. The first part of the book focuses on theoretical and conceptual issues, the second part considers processes of formal and informal regulation, while the third part examines social and political responses to industrialised food production and mass consumption. Qualities of food will be of interest to researchers and students in all the social science disciplines that are concerned with food, whether marketing, sociology, cultural studies, anthropology, human nutrition or economics.

November 2021Die Hydra des Dschihadismus
Entstehung, Ausbreitung und Abwehr einer globalen Gefahr
by Asiem El Difraoui
Nachdem der »IS« in Trümmern lag und »Kalif« al-Baghdadi im Oktober 2019 von US-Truppen getötet wurde, schien der »Krieg gegen den Terror« einmal mehr beendet. Aber der Dschihadismus ist längst eine globale Bewegung geworden, der Dutzende von Organisationen angehören – und mit Gewalt allein ist ihr nicht beizukommen.Seit drei Jahrzehnten verfolgt Asiem El Difraoui als Filmemacher, Journalist und Wissenschaftler diese Entwicklung. Er traf Kampfgefährten bin Ladens in Khartum und PR-Strategen, die in Berlin-Charlottenburg Propagandavideos produzierten. In Kriegsgebieten wie Bosnien, dem Irak oder in Afghanistan hat er selbst den Terror gegen die Bevölkerung miterlebt. Und immer wieder kam der Terror auch zu ihm, wie in Gestalt der Anschläge 1995 und 2015 in Paris, die sich in seiner unmittelbaren Nachbarschaft ereigneten. Kenntnisreich und anschaulich schildert Difraoui, wie der Dschihadismus entstanden ist, wie seine Denkmuster und PR-Strategien sich gewandelt haben und woraus die Hydra ihre Kraft bezieht. Was macht die todbringende Ideologie gerade auch für junge Menschen in Europa attraktiv? Welchen Anteil hat der Westen, haben die Medien an ihrem Erfolg? Und wie kann es gelingen, ihre Macht zu brechen? Ein aufrüttelnder Appell, sich einer der größten Gefahren der Gegenwart zu stellen.
