  This full-scale sequential reading of Thucydides' history of the Peloponnesian War will be invaluable to the specialist and also to those in search of an introduction and companion to the Histories. Moving beyond other studies by its focus on the reader's role in giving meaning to the text, it reveals Thucydides' use of objectivity not so much as a standard for the proper presentation of his subject matter as a method for communicating with his readers and involving them in the complexity and suffering of the Peloponnesian War. W. Robert Connor shows that as Thucydides' themes and ideas are reintroduced and developed, the initial reactions of the reader are challenged, subverted, and eventually made to contribute to a deeper understanding of the war.

  The Chemical Marriage

  The self-admitted author of The Chemical Marriage, Johann Valentin Andreæ, born in Württemberg in 1586, was twenty-eight years of age when that work was first published. It was presumably written about twelve years prior to its publication--or when the author was fifteen or sixteen years old. The fact is almost incredible that one so young could produce a volume containing the wealth of symbolic thought and philosophy hidden between the lines of The Chemical Marriage. This book makes the earliest known reference to Christian Rosencreutz, and is generally regarded as the third of the series of original Rosicrucian manifestoes. As a symbolic work, the book itself is hopelessly irreconcilable with the statements made by Andreæ concerning it. The story of The Chemical Marriage relates in detail a series of incidents occurring to an aged man, presumably the Father C.R.C. of the Fama and Confessio. If Father C.R.C. was born in 1378, as stated in the Confessio, and is identical with the Christian Rosencreutz of The Chemical Marriage, he was elevated to the dignity of a Knight of the Golden Stone in the eighty-first year of his life (1459). In the light of his own statements, it is inconceivable that Andreæ could have been Father Rosy Cross.

  Childhood Obesity - Causes...

  Childhood obesity is a growing public health problem involving excessive accumulation of body fat in children and adolescents. This condition is one of the most pressing concerns today, given its substantial impact on the health and well-being of younger generations. This chapter will discuss the definition and prevalence of childhood obesity, as well as highlight the importance of the topic in the context of public health.Definition and Prevalence of Childhood ObesityChildhood obesity is characterized by excess body weight that is associated with health risks. It is often assessed using the body mass index (BMI), which takes into account the relationship between weight and height. When the BMI of a child or adolescent is above the established limits for their age group, they are considered obese. However, it is worth mentioning that childhood obesity is not just an aesthetic problem, but a health issue that is closely linked to a number of medical conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases and musculoskeletal disorders.The prevalence of childhood obesity has increased dramatically in recent decades. It has become a global phenomenon, affecting both developed and developing countries. The transition from less healthy eating patterns, combined with a sedentary lifestyle and constant exposure to ultra-processed foods , contributed to the spread of this problem. Childhood obesity rates vary by region and population, but in many places, the numbers are alarming and indicate a public health crisis.Importance of the Topic and Its Relevance to Public HealthChildhood obesity should not be underestimated as its implications go far beyond individual health concerns. It has a profound impact on communities, health systems and the broader economy. Obese children are at greater risk of becoming obese adults , increasing the chances of developing debilitating and costly chronic diseases. This puts a significant strain on healthcare systems, consuming valuable resources that could be allocated elsewhere.In addition, childhood obesity also influences social and emotional issues. Obese children often face discrimination, bullying and low self-esteem , which can hinder their psychosocial development. This can have lasting effects throughout life, affecting quality of life and productive participation in society.In light of these challenges, addressing childhood obesity has become a global priority. The need for effective preventive interventions, nutritional education programs, promotion of physical activity and changes in public policies is crucial to reverse this worrying trend. This book will explore these issues in detail, providing insights into the underlying causes, consequences , and multidisciplinary approaches that can be taken to tackle the childhood obesity epidemic comprehensively and effectively.

  The second in an uproarious, sardonic and incisive look through English history. In this volume, we discover the actions of the Normans and King Richard, giving clear reasons why we history should hold them in nothing but contempt. It also covers the signing of the Magna Carta, the first bill of rights in England, which came about because a powerless king tried to go to war, realised that he had no-one behind him, and was bullied into signing in order to not simply be executed. 
  Covers: 
  William The Conqueror, and the thugs and mercenaries who bought titles and became England's gentry. 
  William Rufus, and his utterly ridiculous death. 
  Henry The First, Surnamed Beauclerc, his conquest of Normandy, and death from a finger wound. 
  Stephen. 
  Henry The Second, Surnamed Plantagenet, and his constant battles with both the church and his own family. 
  Richard The First, Surnamed Cour De Lion, and how truly awful he was in every respect. 
  John, Surnamed Sansterre, Or Lackland, and how tried to lead an army that deserted him and was forced into signing the Magna Carta.
