Synopsis

"Manners and Customs" explores the diverse tapestry of social norms and etiquette that govern human interactions worldwide. It examines how seemingly simple gestures, like bowing in Japan or shaking hands in America, reflect centuries of cultural evolution. The book delves into everyday etiquette, covering greetings, table manners, and gift-giving traditions, while also investigating formal social customs such as wedding ceremonies and religious observances. This exploration highlights the underlying values and belief systems that shape different cultures.

 
The book introduces key anthropological concepts, such as cultural relativism, to help readers understand behaviors within their specific cultural contexts. By tracing the historical development of etiquette from ancient civilizations to the modern era, the work illustrates how social norms evolve due to trade, conquest, and technological advancements.

 
Structured geographically, the book dedicates major sections to the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa, featuring illustrative case studies. Ultimately, "Manners and Customs" argues that etiquette is not a set of arbitrary rules but a reflection of a society's deepest values and historical trajectory. Understanding the logic behind different customs fosters global empathy and enhances cross-cultural communication, essential in our interconnected world. The book concludes with an analysis of cross-cultural communication challenges in the 21st century, offering practical strategies for navigating diverse social situations.

    How to Defeat the Far Right:...

    ‘A brilliant and challenging book’ GORDON BROWN 
    From the founder of Britain’s leading antifascist organisation, HOPE not hate, this is an urgent call to resist the forces of extremism on the march in Western societies – and how to go about it. 
    If you’re shocked and disconcerted by the rise of intolerance and hate, you’re not alone. 
    Drawing from 35 years of campaigning and journalism, Nick Lowles shows how anti-immigration, antisemitic and Islamophobic attacks have proliferated in the modern world, and how Britain – with the likes of Tommy Robinson and the growth of Reform UK – has been far from immune from far-right politics. 
    From HOPE not hate’s pioneering campaigns against the BNP in east London to the impact of the ‘manosphere’ and the issues in Netflix's Adolescence; from explorations of the pernicious influence of ‘race science’ and conspiracy theory to the interplay of deprivation and intolerance in Britain’s deindustrialised towns, Lowles entwines his inspirational story with hard-won lessons from decades of activism. 
    His conclusions – which do not shy away from awkward truths for campaigners – suggest practical ways for the far right to be defeated. And he shares powerful examples – from a participant-led youth club in Hull to Syrian refugees connecting with local people over falafel in Bradford – of finding the joy in showing that, hard as it can seem, HOPE can triumph over hate. 
    In his latest non-fiction work, Lowles explores the social and political ideologies that underpin totalitarianism and organised terrorism. It's a true biography of activists fighting against ethnic intolerance and fascism, making it a must-read for those interested in these topics.

    Greek mythology is a rich tapestry of stories, deities, and heroes that has profoundly influenced not only ancient Greek culture but also the broader Western literary and artistic traditions. Rooted in the oral traditions of storytelling, these myths served multiple purposes within Greek society, including providing explanations for natural phenomena, reinforcing social norms, and offering insight into the human condition. 
      
    In ancient Greece, mythology was intricately woven into the fabric of everyday life. The gods and goddesses were believed to interact with humans, influencing their fate, guiding their actions, and embodying the ideals and values of society. The Greeks worshiped a pantheon of deities, each representing different aspects of life and the natural world. For instance, Zeus ruled the sky and upheld justice, while Athena symbolized wisdom and warfare, and Demeter represented agriculture and fertility. These gods were not only worshiped in temples but also featured prominently in festivals, rituals, and public ceremonies, reinforcing community bonds and shared beliefs.

    Barons - Money Power and the...

    Barons is the story of seven corporate titans, their rise to power, and the consequences for everyone else. Take Mike McCloskey, chairman of Fair Oaks Farms. In a few short decades, he went from managing a modest dairy herd to running the Disneyland of agriculture. Mike benefited from deregulation of the American food industry, a phenomenon that has consolidated wealth in the hands of select tycoons, and along the way, hollowed out the nation's rural towns and local businesses. 
     
     
     
    Along with Mike McCloskey, listeners will meet a secretive German family that took over the global coffee industry in less than a decade, relying on wealth traced back to the Nazis to gobble up countless independent roasters. And they will learn that in the food business, crime really does pay—especially when you can bribe and then double-cross the president of Brazil. 
     
     
     
    These, and the other stories in this book, are simply examples of the monopolies and ubiquitous corruption that today define American food. The tycoons profiled are hardly unique: many other companies have manipulated our lax laws and failed policies for their own benefit, to the detriment of our neighborhoods, livelihoods, and our democracy itself. A fair, healthy, and prosperous food industry is possible—if we take back power from the barons who have robbed us of it.

    These letters were discovered in an Army Air Force footlocker after being locked away for almost 80 years. Follow the story of one World War 2 Army Air Force soldier, Glenn Max Whitacre, from Bowling Green Ohio through basic training, schooling, combat prep, and into battle. He wrote home almost every day to keep in touch with his family, his friends, and the girl he loved. While also sharing details of everyday military life, as he prepares for, and eventually enters into the battle. These letters create a story not only about one young man’s military service, but about life in America during the 1940’s. When the world was at war. And the greatest generation put everything aside to fight and, if necessary, die for their country. 
    Volume 1 – Include letters from induction, through basic training, Radio Operator/Mechanic School, and Gunnery School. At which time he’s granted his much anticipated Furlough home. 
    Volume 2 - Include all remaining letters during flight and combat training, as well as his travels overseas, combat missions, and an unfortunate sudden end to the correspondence’.
