Summary

"Swedish Social Space" explores the fascinating, often unspoken rules governing personal space and social interaction in Sweden. Rooted in behavioral research, the book reveals how historical context and cultural values have shaped distinct expectations regarding individual distance. For instance, Sweden's egalitarian social structure and emphasis on individual autonomy contribute to a preference for greater personal space compared to many cultures. Understanding these norms is crucial for effective cross-cultural communication, avoiding social missteps, and fostering positive intercultural relationships.

 
The book presents a systematic analysis, beginning with core concepts of proxemics and delving into specific aspects of Swedish social behavior. It examines nonverbal cues like eye contact and physical touch in various settings, such as public transportation and workplaces. Unique data sets, including analyses of queuing behavior, provide empirical support.

 
The book highlights how differing cultural expectations can lead to misunderstandings and offers practical strategies for bridging these cultural gaps, making it a valuable resource for anyone interacting with Swedish culture.

    Carcassonne today is the capital of the Aude department in the Occitanie region of southwestern France, about 58 miles from Toulouse. This land is also home to several legends and local traditions. When the earth is drenched by heavy storms, the crumbling red soil drifts into the River Aude, staining the water with crimson. This beautiful, yet haunting phenomenon, which the locals call the “blood of the Cathars,” is a symbolic reminder of the blood shed by these “heretics” at the hands of the Catholic Church. Despite the controversial events, and their supposed heresy, it seemed that the fall of the Cathars brought an everlasting curse upon the region. 
In the 16th century, corruption, debauchery, and the general perversion of ethics were running rampant within the Roman Catholic Church. The public began to grow leery of the crooked church, and soon, they could no longer bite their tongues. Among the church's most vocal opponents was Martin Luther, whose publication of the 95 Theses gave rise to the Protestant movement. This reformed brand of Christianity gradually spread throughout Europe, planting flags across the continent. France was among the first to latch onto the movement, and these new-wave Protestants became known as the “Huguenots.” The exact origins of the Huguenot name is still disputed to this day, but most historians have agreed it is a French and German translation of the Swiss-German term, “eidgenossen,” meaning “oath-fellowship.” The Huguenots mostly resided in the southern regions of France, along with the northern regions of Normandy and Picardy. They shared quite a few similarities with the Protestant Walloons, who lived in what is now Belgium, but the two groups were unique communities. Even so, both groups frequently convened to worship together as refugees.

    How ancient Stoicism can help teach us to treat others—and ourselves—more fairly and mercifully 
 
 
 
There are times when we've all felt that we haven't been treated as we deserve—that we've been misjudged, shortchanged, or given a raw deal. And, at one time or another, other people have probably felt that we've treated them just as unfairly. How to Do the Right Thing draws on the principles of ancient Stoicism as articulated by the Roman statesman and philosopher Seneca to help listeners better navigate one of the most important practical questions of daily life—how to do right by others. 
 
 
 
Starting from the virtue of magnanimity—the opposite of small-mindedness—How to Do the Right Thing draws together lessons from Seneca's writings that stress the importance of calm and clear thinking, of judging oneself fairly before judging others, and of cutting people slack, with a bias toward mercy—all delivered in crisp and lively new translations.

    What does it take to build a career as a credentialed dietetics practitioner in a world that wasn't designed for disabilities? 
 
This pioneering collection of true stories from 15 credentialed dietetics practitioners with disabilities shares their journeys through higher education, supervised practice, national credentialing examinations, employment, accommodations, disability disclosure, and disability culture related to food. It fills a gap in dietetics literature and offers readers with and without disabilities new perspectives. The stories offer practical guidance to overcome barriers and show how disabilities can deepen empathy, strengthen patient care, and enrich the dietetics profession.  
 
Educational chapters cover topics such as pathways into the dietetics profession; Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics; Disabilities in Nutrition and Dietetics Member Interest Group; and disability statistics and resources. 
 
Dietetics practitioners are food and nutrition experts who help people eat better, reduce disease risk, manage health conditions, and thrive. They work in healthcare, education, research, food service, government programs, private practice, and more. Yet despite serving a diverse population, the profession remains mainly female, white, and nondisabled. Approximately 2% of credentialed dietetics practitioners have a disability, compared with 29% of U.S. adults. 
 
An essential resource for individuals with disabilities exploring careers; dietetics students and educators; career counselors and disability professionals; employers; healthcare practitioners; and families. Ideal for academic, healthcare, and public libraries. Supports coursework, mentoring, and professional development. 
 
Six professional reviews converge on themes of resilience, advocacy, empathy, professional excellence, disability inclusion, and the practical information provided to readers. 
 
Recommended by three past presidents of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

    A defense of agroecological, small-scale farming and a robust critique of an industrialized future.  
As a breakdown of the climate, state power and globalized markets pushes us toward an epochal transition, Chris Smaje offers us a hopeful vision of a relocalized, self-sufficient world.—David Bollier  
One of the few voices to challenge The Guardian's George Monbiot on the future of food and farming (and the restoration of nature) is academic, farmer and author of A Small Farm Future Chris Smaje. In Saying NO to a Farm-Free Future, Smaje presents his defense of small-scale farming and a robust critique of Monbiot’s vision for an urban and industrialized future.  
Responding to Monbiot’s portrayal of an urban, high-energy, industrially manufactured food future as the answer to our current crises, and its unchallenged acceptance within the environmental discourse, Smaje was compelled to challenge Monbiot’s evidence and conclusions. At the same time, Smaje presents his powerful counterargument – a low-carbon agrarian localism that puts power in the hands of local communities, not high-tech corporates.  
In the ongoing fight for our food future, this book will help you to understand the difference between a congenial, ecological living and a dystopian, factory-centered existence. A must-read!

Soften the F#*k Up! is a book about the challenges men face and the importance of mental and emotional health. It will provide a deeper understanding and insight into how and why men struggle with mental and emotional challenges, as well as provide the tools and skills to help turn life around.
