Synopsis

Hygiene Through Ages presents a fascinating journey through the history of human cleanliness and its profound impact on public health, revealing how the simple act of handwashing has saved more lives than antibiotics. This comprehensive exploration examines how different civilizations, from ancient Rome to modern society, have approached hygiene and sanitation, weaving together insights from epidemiology, anthropology, and urban planning to tell a compelling story of human health and survival.

 
The book masterfully connects historical hygiene practices to population health outcomes through detailed analysis of primary sources, including medieval medical treatises and Victorian public health records. Readers discover the sophisticated bath systems of ancient Rome, witness the devastating consequences of medieval Europe's hygiene regression, and explore the transformative sanitation reforms of the Industrial Revolution. These historical examples demonstrate how hygiene practices have consistently shaped societal development and public health outcomes across cultures and centuries.

 
Moving chronologically through key historical periods while maintaining clear thematic connections, the text illuminates how hygiene practices reflect broader social structures, religious beliefs, and economic development. The work's interdisciplinary approach makes complex medical concepts accessible while maintaining scholarly rigor, offering valuable insights for both public health professionals and general readers interested in the intersection of health and society.

 
Contemporary challenges in global hygiene and their historical context provide a compelling framework for understanding modern public health solutions.

    Co-written by Ann Cusack, the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Asylum, The Convent, Silent Sisters and Abandoned 
     
    A woman who was sexually abused by her own father and later gave birth to his daughter is now running a support group which spans 30 countries and has tens of thousands of supporters. 
     
    Stace Don, now 36, was taken into foster care as a baby after being neglected by her parents. For seven years, she lived an idyllic life, believing her foster parents were her real parents. But a chance encounter with her natural father, Nigel Taylor, shattered her happiness and she was later moved from her foster home, away from the family she loved. 
     
    Upset and angry that she had been lied to, and confused about her own identity, Stace spent the remainder of her childhood flipping between different homes. Aged 17, she visited Nigel Taylor and he refused to let her leave. Over six months, he sexually, physically, and mentally abused her, forcing her to behave in a 'wifely' role; cooking, cleaning, washing. 
     
    He paraded her as his partner in pubs and in shops, and even took her house-hunting, claiming they would live as a couple. She was also expected to have sex with him and endure sickening levels of intimacy. Stace fell pregnant aged 18 and, despite her loathing for her father, was determined to keep her baby. 
     
    Nigel Taylor was jailed for seven years in April 2011 at Basildon Crown Court after admitting sexual activity with a child family member. Stace now runs a blog and support group for other survivors of sexual abuse. Her daughter, aged 16, is fully supportive of her mother's work.

    Inside the Dyslexic Mind - A...

    Laughton King shares his understanding of the dyslexic mind from his own lived experience as a dyslexic child, an angry adolescent, a therapist and eventually an author. When describing what it is like to be dyslexic, he is includes himself. ‘We think in pictures, we chase words around the pages of books, and we have trouble finding any sensible connection between squiggles on paper and real things they are meant to refer to. And this all happens in perpetual reverse gear. You guessed it, for us, school is not cool, and for most of us this makes life tough’ 
    At the heart of this book is a ground-breaking concept — the diesel/petrol analogy. As Laughton describes it, a dyslexic person is like a diesel vehicle. They run perfectly if you give them the right fuel, but if you put petrol in the tank (i.e. expect them to learn like every ’normal’ child in our current education system) they break down. This book helps dyslexic (diesel) thinkers make sense of their lives, and provides valuable guidance for parents and teachers. 
    There is nothing wrong with the dyslexic child’s brain. They do not need medication and do not need to be ‘rewired’ nor ‘recalibrated’. Laughton’s message to parents and educators is that once they accept this processing difference and understand the dyslexic style of thinking they can readily work with these children and help them achieve their own success.

    A generational work with far-ranging social and political implications, White Poverty promises to be one of the most influential books in recent years. 
     
     
     
    One of the most pernicious and persistent myths in the United States is the association of Black skin with poverty. Though there are forty million more poor white people than Black people, most Americans, both Republicans and Democrats, continue to think of poverty—along with issues like welfare, unemployment, and food stamps—as solely a Black problem. Why is this so? What are the historical causes? And what are the political consequences that result? 
     
     
     
    These are among the questions that the Reverend Dr. William J. Barber II, a leading advocate for the rights of the poor and the "closest person we have to Dr. King" (Cornel West), addresses in White Poverty, a groundbreaking work that exposes a legacy of historical myths that continue to define both white and Black people, creating in the process what might seem like an insuperable divide. Analyzing what has changed since the 1930s, when the face of American poverty was white, Barber, along with Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, addresses white poverty as a hugely neglected subject that just might provide the key to mitigating racism and bringing together tens of millions of working class and impoverished Americans.
