  The Science of Cookery and the Art of Eating Well is a philosophical and historical reflection on food and dining in human culture. It includes discussions of the nature of the first meals as found in Greek literature and the philosophy of history of Giambattista Vico, the Roman cookbook of Apicius (the first known cookbook), the cookbook of Artusi (the seminal cookbook of Italian cooking), Brillat-Savarin’s Physiology of Taste, Plutarch’s “Dinner of the Seven Wise Men,” and Athenaeus’ work on the Learned Banqueters (the Deipnosophists). These discussions are joined with contemporary observations on the importance of the traditions of home cooking and dining with friends as essential to the promotion of human well-being.

  "The Absorbent Mind" by Dr. Maria Montessori, published in 1949, explores the natural development of children and outlines Montessori's innovative educational philosophy. The book introduces the concept of the "absorbent mind," highlighting young children's innate ability to effortlessly absorb information from their surroundings.In the first part, covering birth to six years, Montessori identifies distinct developmental stages. The absorbent mind operates during this period, fostering spontaneous exploration, imitation, and a natural inclination to acquire knowledge without conscious effort.The second part focuses on the practical application of Montessori's observations in education. She advocates for a prepared environment that caters to the child's developmental needs, encouraging independence and self-directed learning. Montessori redefines the teacher's role as a guide, facilitating exploration rather than dictating learning.Montessori's holistic approach encompasses physical, intellectual, emotional, and social development. Movement, sensory experiences, and hands-on learning are essential components for creating a comprehensive educational experience."The Absorbent Mind" has significantly influenced education, shaping the Montessori method globally. Principles like a prepared environment, teacher as a guide, and recognition of sensitive periods for learning have become integral to Montessori education.In conclusion, "The Absorbent Mind" remains a cornerstone in educational literature. Montessori's insights prompt reflection on learning, the importance of nurturing innate curiosity, and the impact of a thoughtfully designed educational environment. The book serves as a timeless resource for those interested in holistic child development and progressive educational practices.

  'A long-awaited book that answers many questions.'
  Jan de Vries
  
  Antibiotics were developed in the 1940s. Then, they were hailed as a huge breakthrough in the treatment of bacterial infections. Today, they are the most commonly prescribed drugs worldwide. But massive over-prescription of antibiotics has created its own problems. The advent of antibiotic-resistant organisms – or 'superbugs' – has led more and more people to demand alternatives.
  
  Natural Alternatives to Antibiotics is a revised and updated version of Dr John McKenna's international bestseller Alternatives to Antibiotics. First published in 1996 and translated into 16 languages, Alternatives to Antibiotics explains in simple, jargon-free language the variety of alternatives to antibiotics in treating infections. Dr McKenna compares conventional medicine and alternative medical approaches, highlighting the benefits and drawbacks of both.
  
  In Natural Alternatives to Antibiotics, Dr McKenna looks at the various strains of infections which have become resistant since his international bestseller Alternatives to Antibiotics was published. Dr McKenna has expanded his sections on alternative, herbal, homeopathic and nutritional medicines, and shows directly that it is still possible to treat infections without antibiotics while still acknowledging the times that they may be necessary.

  Surviving and Thriving in Stepfamily Relationships draws on current research, a wide variety of clinical modalities, and 30 years of clinical work with stepfamily members to describe the special challenges stepfamilies face. The audiobook presents the concept of "stepfamily architecture" and the five challenges it creates, and delineates three different levels of strategies — psychoeducation, building interpersonal skills, and intrapsychic work — for meeting those challenges in dozens of different settings.The model is designed to be useful both to stepfamily members themselves and to a wide variety of practitioners, from a highly trained clinician who needs to know how and when to work on all three levels, to a school counselor or clergy person who may work on the first two levels but refer out for level three. It will also be useful to educators, judges, mediators, lawyers, and medical personnel who will practice on the first level, but need to understand the other two to guide their work.
