Sinopse

"Green Children" delves into the enduring medieval mystery of two children with green skin found in 12th-century Suffolk. Examining historical anomalies through the lenses of science and history, the book analyzes primary source accounts alongside potential medical explanations for their unusual pigmentation. The book explores the historical context, considering the limited medical knowledge and cultural exchanges of the era to understand what can be credibly stated about this strange occurrence. Did a rare skin condition explain their color or was folklore at play? The book adopts a balanced approach, evaluating both historical and scientific possibilities rather than accepting the tale as purely factual or mythical. Investigating medieval chronicles, medical history, and cultural exchange, the work seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the case. It's crucial to understand medieval societal structures and beliefs to avoid misinterpreting the story through a modern perspective.

 
Structured in three parts, the book first introduces the original accounts and their historical setting. It then explores potential medical conditions that might cause green skin, assessing their plausibility in the 12th century. Finally, it analyzes the impact of cultural exchange on local narratives, culminating in a reasoned perspective on the events while acknowledging the limitations of drawing firm conclusions.

    Countless books are designed to help leaders to become better leaders. But most resources neglect the underlying emotional struggles of both emerging and established leaders, who are often isolated and suffering in silence. Leadership professor Nicholas Rowe and counselor Sheila Wise Rowe offer their expertise in helping leaders process painful and traumatic experiences. Trauma contributes to how we lead others in either empowering or dysfunctional ways. Understanding how these experiences formed us is the beginning of the path to healing. 
     
     
     
    Woven throughout each chapter are five themes—invitation, attachment, remembrance, healing, and reconnection. Healing Leadership Trauma lays out the emotional challenges of leadership and offers encouragement, prayer, and therapeutic tools to help leaders face their pain and begin to heal.

    Numerous theories have been proposed for the causes of dancing mania, and it remains unclear whether it was a real illness or a social phenomenon.One of the most prominent theories is that victims suffered from ergot poisoning, which was known as St Anthony's Fire in the Middle Ages. During floods and damp periods, ergots were able to grow and affect rye and other crops. Ergotism can cause hallucinations, but cannot account for the other strange behaviour most commonly identified with dancing mania.Many sources discuss how dancing mania, and tarantism, may have simply been the result of stress and tension caused by natural disasters around the time, such as plagues and floods…people may have danced to relieve themselves of the stress and poverty of the day, and in doing so, attempted to become ecstatic and see visions. Sources agree that dancing mania was one of the earliest forms of mass hysteria, and describe it as a "psychic epidemic", with numerous explanations that might account for the behaviour of the dancers.Another popular theory is that the outbreaks were all staged, and the appearance of strange behaviour was down to its unfamiliarity. Religious cults may have been acting out well-organised dances, in accordance with ancient Greek and Roman rituals. Despite being banned at the time, these rituals could be performed under the guise of uncontrollable dancing mania. (Introduction from Wikipedia, slightly adapted.)

    'It is in our faults and failings, not in our virtues, that we touch one another and find sympathy. We differ widely enough in our nobler qualities. It is in our follies that we are at one.'
    
    Jerome K. Jerome's second ever published work, Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow is a rollicking collection of hilarious essays that established the writer of one of the most talented humorists of his day.
    
    First serialised in 1886, Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow takes the reader through a series of eccentric takes on love, memory, shyness, babies, food, the weather, the world at large and so much more. Brimming with personal anecdotes and comically perceptive commentary, Jerome's musings invite the reader to laugh at the absurdities of society and human nature. Written with the same witty flair and whimsy found in Jerome's renowned Three Men in a Boat, this compendium of essays is largely considered one of his finest works. Now given a new lease of life in this unabridged recording, Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow is essential reading for those who enjoy the entertaining writings of Jerome – which resonate still today.
    Jerome K. Jerome (1859 – 1927) was an English author and actor. Renowned for his comic works, he is best known for the hilarious travelogue, Three Men in a Boat. A prolific writer and admirer of the theatre, he penned several novels, essays and plays throughout his life.

    Mankind across the world has been imprisoned. They called it lockdown. We have been terrified into submission. Words like 'pandemic' and images of horror have been thrust upon us. It is all a scam. A lie. It is part of a long-term plot to control, manipulate and enslave mankind. A divided world has been brought together under a common threat and it is just the beginning. 
     
    There are massive, global revolutions being created and fostered by a powerful, dark and sinister group that have directed the sheep for countless generations. Very soon you will be asked to do things you would never have contemplated before and you will do them gladly. This is the story of how your freedoms and liberties are being taken away from you without you even caring. In fact you will be happy to lose them. And all because of a small virus created by that same elite group and let loose upon mankind for a very malevolent end. 
     
    George Orwell said: "Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind." This book will prove that he was right all along…
