        PSYCHEDELIC JUSTICE

        Toward a Diverse and Equitable Psychedelic Culture

        by An Anthology

        As psychedelic medicine integrates into our widespread capitalist culture, the question of what forces will gain control of the psychedelic renaissance is front and center. The essays within this socially visionary anthology, by some of our more marginalized voices, examine both the historical and modern issues within psychedelic communities and promotes diversity and equity.

        An Interprofessional Approach to Veterinary Nutrition

        by Rachel Lumbis, Tierney Kinnison

        In veterinary practice, the interface between veterinarians, veterinary nurses or technicians, and paraprofessional team members is crucial. It influences patient care, the incidence of medical errors, client satisfaction, the success of the veterinary practice and revenue generation. Ensuring a coherent approach to the maintenance of the animal health and wellbeing is of paramount importance, yet challenges such as interprofessional prejudice, contrasting motivations, and a lack of recognition, respect, empowerment or trust, can prevent best practice. Nutrition is one of the most important considerations in the maintenance of health, and plays a critical role in disease management, patient recovery and hospital outcome. Owners are increasingly aware of nutrition's role in optimising pet health, yet considerable misinformation can make this one of the most difficult aspects of pet ownership. Playing a central role as a source of expert information, the veterinary healthcare team must rise to the challenge of optimising pet nutrition. This book: - Provides evidence-based theory in an accessible and practical way to help veterinary healthcare teams implement interprofessional approaches to nutritional care and support; - Demonstrates how robust interprofessional practice and teamwork help to overcome challenges; - Emphasises collaborative working across the healthcare team. With effective interprofessional communication and collaboration considered a key factor in the successful implementation of nutritional assessment, forming a positive team environment founded on respect, trust and mutual support helps to overcome challenges and provide the best outcome for both pets and their owners.

        An Humorous Day's Mirth

        by George Chapman

        by David Bevington, Charles Edelman, Richard Dutton, Alison Findlay, Helen Ostovich

        George Chapman is known today as a translator of Homer and as the author of dark tragedies such as Bussy D'Ambois. An Humorous Day's Mirth, written in 1597, was one of the most popular plays of the Elizabethan era. Not only was Chapman's play the Rose Theatre's greatest box-office success of that year, but it also presented an entirely new type of comedy, one that has profoundly influenced comic writing up to the present day. This play is the English theatre's first 'comedy of humours', in which the attitudes, behaviour, and social pretensions of contemporary men and women are satirised. Charles Edelman's is the first fully annotated, modern spelling edition of this long-neglected play. In his extensive introduction and commentary, Edelman discusses the intellectual, philosophical and theatrical background to Chapman's comedy, and shows that An Humorous Day's Mirth would delight the readers and audiences of today as much as it did those in 1597. ;

        An age of wonders

        Prodigies, politics and providence in England 1657–1727

        by William Burns, Kim Latham

        Monstrous births, rains of blood, apparitions of battles in the sky - people in early modern England found all of these events to carry important religious and political meanings. In An age of wonders, available in paperback for the first time, William E. Burns explores the process by which these events became religiously and politically insignificant in the Restoration period. The story involves the establishment of early modern science, the shift from 'enthusiastic' to reasonable religion, and the fierce political combat between the Whigs and the Tories. This historical study is based on close readings of a variety of primary sources, both print and manuscript. Burns claims that prodigies lost their religious meaning and became subjects of scientific enquiry as a result of political struggles, first by the supporters of the restored monarchy and the Church of England against Protestant dissenters, and then by the Whig defenders of the Revolution of 1688 against the Tories and the Jacobites. By integrating religious and political history with the history of science, An age of wonders will be of great use to those working in the field of early modern history. ;

        An der Baumgrenze

        Erzählungen

        by Thomas Bernhard, Anton Lehmden, Raimund Fellinger

        Nur in einem seiner Werke hat Thomas Bernhard die Aufnahme nicht von ihm selbst stammender Arbeiten gestattet: in der 1969 erstmals publizierten Zusammenstellung dreier »kurzer Prosastücke« (so die Charakteristik durch ihren Verfasser) unter dem Titel An der Baumgrenze – Der Kulterer steht am Anfang des Bandes, auf ihn folgt Der Italiener, die Titelerzählung bildet den Abschluß. In ungewohnter Bescheidenheit bezeichnete er die eigene Prosa als Beigabe zu »einem bibliophilen Band« eines »alten Freundes, ›Phantastischer Realist‹ aus Wien«. Objektiver Betrachtung präsentieren sich in diesem Buch Zeichner und Schriftsteller auf der Höhe ihrer Kunst: Jede steht für sich in eigenem Recht. Die zwölf Zeichnungen des 1929 geborenen Anton Lehmden bilden jeweils eine eigene Welt, wie die drei Erzählungen (unter denen der später verfilmte Italiener bereits das Thema des großen Romans Auslöschung anschlägt) von Thomas Bernhard den menschlichen Mikrokosmos abbilden.

        An unorthodox history

        British Jews since 1945

        by Gavin Schaffer

        A bold, new history of British Jewish life since the Second World War. Historian Gavin Schaffer wrestles Jewish history away from the question of what others have thought about Jews, focusing instead on the experiences of Jewish people themselves. Exploring the complexities of inclusion and exclusion, he shines a light on groups that have been marginalised within Jewish history and culture, such as queer Jews, Jews married to non-Jews, Israel-critical Jews and even Messianic Jews, while offering a fresh look at Jewish activism, Jewish religiosity and Zionism. Weaving these stories together, Schaffer argues that there are good reasons to consider Jewish Britons as a unitary whole, even as debates rage about who is entitled to call themselves a Jew. Challenging the idea that British Jewish life is in terminal decline. An unorthodox history demonstrates that Jewish Britain is thriving and that Jewishness is deeply embedded in the country's history and culture.

        An der Grasnarbe

        Roman

        by Mirjam Wittig

        Jetzt hütet Noa also Schafe. Um ihren Angstattacken in der Großstadt zu entfliehen und aus Sehnsucht nach dem einfachen Leben,ist sie als freiwillige Helferin auf einen Hof nach Südfrankreich gekommen. Hier leben Ella, Gregor und ihre elfjährige Tochter Jade von ihrer Herde und dem, was sie auf den Äckern anbauen. Doch das wird immer beschwerlicher, die Sommer werden heißer. Auch Noa bemerkt die Risse im Boden und wie wenig Wasser der Fluss führt. Das Landleben zeigt sich nicht weniger aufreibend als Noas früheres Leben. Und in der Abgeschiedenheit der Berge holen sie auch die Ängste und inneren Widersprüche ein, mit denen sie bereits zuhause zu kämpfen hatte. In An der Grasnarbe treffen innere und äußere Landschaften aufeinander, die nicht nur durch die Klimakrise ins Wanken geraten. Mirjam Wittig erzählt davon mit großem Einfühlungsvermögen und starker atmosphärischer Kraft – als ob man die Berge und Täler vor sich sieht, die Schafsglocken hört, Trockenheit und Hitze auf der Haut spürt. Ein aufregendes Debüt!
