Sinopsis

Maritime Food explores the vital role of food preservation in enabling centuries of maritime exploration, trade, and naval dominance. Without effective ways to keep food edible, long sea voyages would have been impossible. The book reveals how the need to feed sailors spurred innovation in food science and technology. Readers will discover the daily life of sailors, their nutritional needs, and the impact of diet on their health.

 
The book details traditional methods like salting, drying, and pickling, explaining their processes and effectiveness. The book investigates the impact of these methods on the health of sailors, particularly the issues of scurvy and nutritional deficiencies, and how these problems were eventually addressed. For example, sailors learned to use citrus fruits to combat scurvy, a disease caused by vitamin C deficiency, changing the course of naval history.

 
The book then covers 19th and 20th-century advancements, including canning and refrigeration, and their transformative effect on maritime food provision. Structured to provide a comprehensive overview, the book progresses from the challenges of maritime food preservation to the impact of advancements like canning and refrigeration. Maritime Food connects history, nutrition, and food science, appealing to anyone interested in the intersection of food, culture, and exploration. While focusing primarily on European and North American practices, it offers an in-depth look at influential maritime food traditions.

    This amazingly unique compendium tells the story of the journey travelled since the launch of the Number 43 Legacy Events, dedicated principally to celebrating those who dared their lives for a total liberation of the people of South Africa. It is also, to document this history through the arts, for future generations to appreciate the invaluable power of simple and humble celebrations. Most importantly, it was to commemorate the passing of uMagogo in September of 2007. 
    There is no better way of preserving these memories, than use a youthful artist of today, to tell the stories through poetry. 
    The Masilela Family and the Extended Family of Number 43 are eternally grateful to this amazing interpretation and fitting contribution by Noluthando Buthelezi, of Soweto, who donated her time and intellect to interpret the story of Number 43 and craft 10 beautiful poems, to signify 10 Years of solid accomplishment.

What begins with an unexpected kiss evolves into an intense journey filled with sensual discoveries, emotional closeness, and shared secrets. The presence of Axel, Lucy’s husband, adds a new depth to their connection and opens the door to a dynamic in which trust, complicity, and forbidden desire intertwine. Together, the three explore new forms of intimacy, devotion, and shared pleasure—through daring games, intimate encounters, fantasies, and honest confessions. Passion, tenderness, and laughter merge as they create their own space, where sensuality and trust form the foundation of their relationship.

    A Dusty Tomes Audio BookIn Cooperation with Spoken Realms 
    Jacksonian Democracy 1829–1837 by William MacDonald, LLD. Professor of History in Brown University. Published in 1906 by Harper and Brothers. 
    Narrated by Joseph Tabler. This book is in the public domain. It is read ‘as written.' 
    Volume 15 of 27 in The American Nation: A History From Original Sources by Associated Scholars published by Harper Brothers (1904–1918). Edited by Albert Bushnell Hart, Professor of History at Harvard University. 
    In the Editor’s Introduction to the Series: That a new history of the United States is needed, extending from the discovery down to the present time hardly needs a statement. No such comprehensive work by a competent writer is now in existence. Individual writers have treated only limited chronological fields. Meantime there is a rapid increase of published sources and serviceable monographs based on material hitherto unused. On the one side, there is a necessity for an intelligent summarizing of the present knowledge of American history by trained specialists; on the other hand, there is a need for a complete work, written in an untechnical style, which shall serve for the instruction and the entertainment of the general reader. 
    From the Editor’s Introduction to Volume Fifteen: Hardly any year in American history so distinctly marks the transition from one era to another as 1829. The character of Andrew Jackson is so distinct and so aggressive that few writers upon the period can resist the temptation to group the events of his administration around his personality. This temptation Professor MacDonald has resisted. His conception of the period is that it witnessed the fruition of national policies, nearly all of which would have come up and would have divided the nation had there been no Andrew Jackson. At the same time, he shows how that dominant personality determined when and how most of the great questions should arise; and how Jackson hammered out a series of political principles that became the foundation of a new democratic party. 
    From the Author’s Preface: The present narrative has been kept, for the most part, strictly within the limits of the eight years of Jackson’s administration. It has not, however, been possible in all cases to avoid summarizing the early course of movements having important development within this period, though I have tried to avoid undue overlapping. The subject of slavery is, by the plan of the series, excluded altogether. As I am not writing a life of Jackson, but an account of his time, many personal details have also been omitted. 
    The volume is, in part, the outcome of special studies, of which the fruit has been presented in lectures given in the ordinary course of instruction at Bowdoin College and Brown University, and to summer classes at Harvard, Cornell, and the University of Chicago.

    A handsome recluse, plagued by indecision and hypochondria, Kafka nonetheless exhibited an extraordinary strength. He developed the uncanny ability to observe himself with cool objectivity, and he cultivated this ability in his writing, where it appeared in increasingly original metaphorical form. His works became among the greatest of the twentieth century, and his influence permeated far and wide, transcending literature. His descriptions of his attempts to escape from a self-made tyranny are his great works of art. 
    Kafka in 90 Minutes also includes selections from Kafka’s writings, a list of his chief works in English translation, a chronology of Kafka’s life and times, and recommended reading for those who wish to delve deeper.

    Medical doctor and psychiatrist Mark Goulston shares practical, evidence-based techniques and treatments for managing traumatic stress that will fill you with hope and inspiration.
