Synopsis

The Babees' Book: Medieval Manners for the Young offers a captivating glimpse into the etiquette and cultural norms of medieval society. Through a rich tapestry of poems, treatises, and instructional texts, this anthology unravels themes of courtesy and social conduct that were paramount to the education of youth in the Middle Ages. The collection embodies a range of literary styles, from the lyrical to the didactic, capturing the intricate dance of medieval life. Key pieces within the anthology shed light on the meticulous codes of behavior that shaped young minds, offering timeless reflections on respect and decorum without anchor to a singular voice, but rather through a complementary chorus of medieval thought. Helmed by the esteemed Frederick James Furnivall, a prominent figure in the study of early English literature, this anthology draws on the diverse works of unknown scribes and scholars. Furnivall's expert curation brings together a selection reflective of various historical and cultural strains within medieval society. Through the myriad contributions, the anthology aligns with the broader historical context of growing literacy and the gradual formalization of societal roles, portraying these historical voices as vital narrators of the young medieval experience, each contributing uniquely to the theme. The Babees' Book serves as a crucial portal into the past, beckoning readers to immerse themselves in a world both distant and familiar. For scholars, students, and enthusiasts alike, this collection offers a unique opportunity to explore a multiplicity of perspectives under one cover. Its educational value lies in the deep insights and the rich dialogue engendered between the works, encouraging readers to appreciate the complexity of past social mores and the underlying lessons that resonate across generations.

    What if the artist wasn’t a master of his craft—but a mouthpiece for something divine? 
    In Ion, Plato explores the nature of poetic inspiration in a lively exchange between Socrates and the rhapsode Ion. Ion claims mastery over Homer’s verses, but Socrates questions whether such talent comes from knowledge or from divine possession. 
    This modern translation brings Plato’s insight into the modern era, opening a timeless discussion about where creativity truly comes from—and what that means for artists, performers, and thinkers alike. 
    What you'll discover inside: 
    •	The Origins of Artistic Inspiration – Explore Plato’s view of creativity as divine madness 
    •	Socrates’ Challenge to Poetic Pride – Ion’s mastery is questioned by reason itself 
    •	Art, Prophecy, and the Irrational – Connect poetry to prophecy and the mysteries of the human mind 
    •	A Modern, Engaging Translation – Clear and accessible, with Plato’s irony and brilliance intact 
    Whether you’re a poet, philosopher, or curious mind, Ion will challenge how you understand genius—and where it comes from.

    A coming-of-middle-age memoir, about the search for love, friendship and the ever-elusive Mr Darcy 
     
    Prince Charming? Happily ever after? Childhood fairy tales are full of promises, but the reality - life - is a very different story. And that story has a hell of a lot to teach us. 
     
    Written with honesty, humour and warmth, Christina Ford looks back on four decades of dates, loves, marriages, friendships, affairs, divorces, parenting disasters and step-parenting nightmares. 
     
    For all those who have ever wondered if there is life after divorce, sex after 40, or who have had their heart broken and questioned if they will ever find love again, this is a reaffirming rallying call that mid-life is exactly that - the middle and not the end.

    In 2014 Sonya Bilocerkowycz is a tourist at a deadly revolution. At first she is enamored with the Ukrainians' idealism, which reminds her of her own patriotic family. But when the romantic revolution melts into a war with Russia, she becomes disillusioned, prompting a return home to the US and the diaspora community that raised her. As the daughter of a man who studies Ukrainian dissidents for a living, the granddaughter of war refugees, and the great-granddaughter of a gulag victim, Bilocerkowycz has inherited a legacy of political oppression. But what does it mean when she discovers a missing page from her family's survival story—one that raises questions about her own guilt? 
     
     
     
    In these linked essays, Bilocerkowycz invites listeners to meet a swirling cast of post-Soviet characters, including a Russian intelligence officer who finds Osama bin Laden a few weeks after 9/11; a Ukrainian poet whose nose gets broken by Russian separatists; and a long-lost relative who drives a bus into the heart of Chernobyl. On Our Way Home from the Revolution muddles our easy distinctions between innocence and culpability, agency and fate.

    Imagine being lost, then found, then lost again. Imagine being giddy in love with a man who is slipping away from you bit by bit. This is the heartbreak that I endured. This is the story of my journey as a caregiver and the route I chose to get my husband and me safely to the end. 
    Research shows that more than half a million Canadians have Alzheimer‘s disease or related dementia. Those suffering from it lose their memory and ability to think properly. What was more frightening, for me, was the profound changes to Tony‘s mood and behaviour. As Alzheimer‘s disease heaped indignity after indignity upon him, I struggled to maintain my equilibrium. My natural optimism took a pounding. I was often crushed, often weepy. Sometimes I gathered my dog and my car keys and was ready to bolt. 
    If you are a caregiver, you will see yourself in this book. If you have just learned that your partner, parent or other loved one has Alzheimer‘s disease, you will find insight and hope.

    Women in Ancient Egypt held a unique and significant position within the broader social and cultural framework of their civilization. Unlike in many ancient societies, Egyptian women enjoyed a considerable amount of rights and freedoms, especially when compared to their contemporaries in other parts of the world. The role of women in Egyptian society was largely defined by a combination of legal rights, religious significance, and familial responsibilities, with many women being able to exercise substantial influence in both public and private spheres. 
    Socially, women in Ancient Egypt were often portrayed as equals to men, and their contributions to society were highly valued. While men generally dominated the spheres of politics, military, and high-ranking religious offices, women were not excluded from positions of authority, especially within the royal family and the religious hierarchy. For example, queens, priestesses, and high-ranking women could wield political power and influence in matters of state and governance. However, their roles were primarily centered around the family and domestic life. Marriage and motherhood were central to a woman’s identity, and women were expected to oversee the household and care for children. 
    In terms of legal rights, women in Ancient Egypt were granted many protections and privileges. They had the ability to own property, enter into contracts, and even initiate divorce if necessary. This level of autonomy was relatively rare in the ancient world, where women were often considered the property of their fathers or husbands. Egyptian women also had the right to inherit property, and they could pass on property to their children, ensuring that their lineage could maintain wealth and status. These legal rights enabled women to participate in economic transactions, manage estates, and even become wealthy landowners in some cases.
