Beschreibung

Fasting Through Ages explores the historical and cultural significance of fasting, revealing its role beyond mere deprivation. The book argues that fasting has been a powerful force for spiritual transformation and social cohesion across diverse societies. From ancient rituals in Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, and Hinduism to its modern use for health and wellness, fasting reflects shifting cultural values and scientific understanding. Did you know that fasting has also been used as a form of political protest and social control throughout history? The book progresses by first categorizing types of fasting practices across religious traditions, then analyzing its historical and social contexts, and finally examining the modern resurgence of intermittent fasting. It draws from ancient religious texts, historical chronicles, contemporary scientific studies, and anthropological field reports. By bridging ancient customs with contemporary practices, Fasting Through Ages offers a comprehensive overview of fasting's enduring appeal and its multifaceted impact on human lives.

    Child abuse casts a long shadow over the history of childhood. Across the centuries there are numerous accounts of children being beaten, neglected, sexually assaulted, or even killed by those closest to them. This book explores this darker side of childhood history, looking at what constituted cruelty towards children in the past and at the social responses towards it. Focusing primarily on England, it is a history of violence against children in their own homes, covering a large timeframe which extends from medieval times to the present. 
     
     
     
    Undeniably, the experience of children in the past was often brutal, and children were treated with, what seems to contemporary mores, callousness and cruelty. However, historians have paid far less attention to how the mistreatment of children was understood within its contemporary context. Most parents, both now and in the past, loved their children and there have always been widely shared understandings of the boundaries that separate the acceptable treatment of children from the intolerable and morally wrong. This book will examine how these boundaries have changed and been contested over time and, in doing so, provides a context to the many forms of violence experienced by children in the past.

    Lynsey G. never imagined that she would ever work in porn, but at 24 years old, with a degree in English literature and an empty bank account, she found herself reviewing the film East Coast ASSault for an adult magazine in New York City. One interview later and it was official: she was a porn journalist. The job was supposed to be temporary—just a paycheck until she could spark her legitimate writing career—but she loved it and spent nearly a decade describing the nuances of money shots and the effectiveness of sex toys. As both a porn consumer and a porn critic, she was not quite an insider, not quite an outsider, but came to know the industry intimately. She found it so fascinating that she co-founded WHACK! Magazine. Finally, she had a platform to voice her thoughts and observations of the adult film world, as well as educate the rest of us about what really goes on behind the scenes.  
      
    Eventually, Lynsey was thrust back into the “real” world, but not before realizing that one of the most diverse and nebulous—and profitable—industries on the planet isn’t quite as different from the rest of the world as she thought.  
     
    Tantalizing, eye-opening, and witty, Watching Porn is a provocative book about an average girl’s foray into the porn industry and the people who make it what it is, both in front of and behind the camera.

    In Propaganda, Edward Bernays offers a groundbreaking exploration of how public opinion is shaped in modern society. First published in 1928, this influential work argues that the conscious and intelligent manipulation of the habits and opinions of the masses is a central feature of democratic life. 
    Drawing on psychology, politics, and media, Bernays reveals the hidden mechanisms through which ideas spread, leaders rise, and consent is organized. From business and advertising to government and social movements, he examines how communication strategies influence everything from consumer behavior to political outcomes. 
    Provocative, unsettling, and remarkably prescient, Propaganda remains essential reading for anyone seeking to understand media, power, and the forces that shape public thought in the modern world.
