  Knead to Know - A History of Baking

  In Knead to Know: A History of Baking, food historian and chef Neil Buttery takes the reader on a journey exploring the creation, evolution and cultural importance of some of our most beloved baked foods, whether they be fit for a monarch's table, or served from the bakestone of a lowly farm labourer. This book charts innovations, happy accidents and some of the most downright bizarre baked foods ever created. 
   
   
  Everything has a history, but food history is special because it tells us so much about our culture and society, from the role of bread in the birth of human civilisation to the invention of the wedding cake, the creation of the whisk, or the purpose of the fish heads in a star-gazy pie. Food history encompasses it all. 
   
   
  When we think of the evolution of something, we think every step is an improvement, an incremental elevation toward some peak of perfection. This is not always the case. Sometimes things have to become simpler, knowledge is lost and skills are forgotten. As a baker of historical foods, Neil Buttery demonstrates that forgotten recipes and traditional techniques are often worth trying out (and mentions a few that should perhaps be left in the past).

  Autism in Polyvagal Terms - New...

  A vital new framework for working with clients on the spectrum. 
   
   
   
  By presenting the autism diagnosis through the lens of a disordered nervous system—that is, by applying Polyvagal Theory—this book opens new avenues for intervention and treatment, while challenging age-old assumptions of what autism means and how it presents itself. 
   
   
   
  Here, Sean Inderbitzen—a therapist as well as someone living with autism—encourages clinicians to conceptualize their autistic clients' difficulties with social interactions and cognitive flexibility through a polyvagal lens. Inderbitzen argues that individuals with autism can be thought of as having deficits in accessing their ventral vagal nervous system—the system which promotes flexibility and connection to others. The book explores strategies to address these challenges through familiar tools such as motivational interviewing, clinical social work pedagogy, sensorimotor psychotherapy, mindfulness, biofeedback, and cultivating a sense of safety. Autism in Polyvagal Terms is an essential new text for anyone who works with individuals on the autism spectrum.

  Mississippian Culture -...

  The Mississippian culture, a sophisticated and influential civilization, thrived in the southeastern United States from approximately 800 CE to 1600 CE. This culture, named after the Mississippi River, was centered around the river valleys and floodplains of the American Midwest, particularly in areas that are now parts of modern-day Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, and Mississippi. It is best known for its massive earthworks, especially mounds, which were used for both ceremonial and burial purposes. The Mississippian people developed a complex society that was marked by large-scale agriculture, intricate trade networks, and powerful political and religious institutions. 
  The origins of the Mississippian culture can be traced back to the earlier Woodland period, during which smaller villages and simple mound-building practices began to emerge. By around 800 CE, however, the Mississippian culture had fully developed, distinguished by its highly organized cities, monumental architecture, and wide-reaching trade connections. The Mississippians were expert farmers, cultivating staple crops such as maize, beans, and squash, which allowed their settlements to flourish and grow in both size and complexity. 
  One of the most notable features of the Mississippian culture was its social and political structure. The culture was organized around large chiefdoms, with powerful leaders who held both political and religious authority. These chiefs often resided in large, fortified towns that served as hubs of trade, governance, and religious activity. The largest and most famous of these urban centers was Cahokia, located near present-day St. Louis, Missouri. At its height, Cahokia had a population of over 10,000 people, making it one of the largest urban centers in pre-Columbian North America.

  New York Times bestselling author Jonah Berger’s cutting-edge research reveals how six types of words can increase your impact in every area of life: from persuading others and building stronger relationships, to boosting creativity and motivating teams. 
  Almost everything we do involves words. Words are how we persuade, communicate, and connect. They’re how leaders lead, salespeople sell, and parents parent. They’re how teachers teach, policymakers govern, and doctors explain. Even our private thoughts rely on language. 
  But certain words are more impactful than others. They’re better at changing minds, engaging audiences, and driving action. What are these magic words, and how can we take advantage of their power? 
  In Magic Words, internationally bestselling author Jonah Berger gives you an inside look at the new science of language and how you can use it. Technological advances in machine learning, computational linguistics, and natural language processing, combined with the digitization of everything from cover letters to conversations, have yielded unprecedented insights. 
  Learn how salespeople convince clients, lawyers persuade juries, and storytellers captivate audiences; how teachers get kids to help and service representatives increase customer satisfaction; how startup founders secure funding, musicians make hits, and psychologists identified a Shakespearean manuscript without ever reading a play. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook. 
  This book is designed for anyone who wants to increase their impact. It provides a powerful toolkit and actionable techniques that can lead to extraordinary results. Whether you’re trying to persuade a client, motivate a team, or get a whole organization to see things differently, this book will show you how to leverage the power of magic words.
