Holt Health
by Jerrold Greenburg Robert GoldHealth means different things to different cultures. In the United States, slender people are viewed as healthy and attractive. But in some less prosperous cultures, thin people are viewed as unhealthy and less attractive. A fuller figure is a sign of having enough money to eat well and is considered desirable and healthy. These examples show how physical health can be defined by one's cultural beliefs.

The Holy Book of Women's Mysteries
by Zsuzsanna E. BudapestThe Holy Book of Women's Mysteries is essential for Pagans, feminists, and women seeking to learn more about the spiritual path as it relates to the feminine and the Goddess aspects of witchcraft and Wicca. This book is not about reinstating a matriarchy or tearing down patriarchy; it is about women's spirituality and its relationship with politics and lifestyle. Z. Budapest is one of the founding mothers of modern women's witchcraft, beginning with the establishment of Susan B. Anthony Coven in Los Angeles in 1971. She catapulted herself into the media spotlight when she was tried as a witch and found guilty in 1975 after being arrested on Venice Beach for reading tarot cards. She fought the charges and, after a nine year battle, won the right for every tarot reader to do so legally. The Holy Book of Women's Mysteries is a seminal text that contains invaluable information on Dianic witchcraft and spells, including everyday magick, sabbat rituals, and divination methods; a section on how vegetarian theories and politics relate to witchcraft and the feminine aspect; and a good deal of information on goddesses and how the patriarchal religions distorted old myths to serve their own needs. There are several unique and beautiful Rites of Passage for women and men that you don't often find, and Budapest's personal life stories are an equally valuable read, from her escape across the mountains from Communist Hungary to her fight for women's religious freedom upon moving to America.
Holy Ghosts
by Gary JansenIN THIS EXTRAORDINARY TRUE STORY, the haunting of a Long Island household forces a respected writer and editor to reevaluate the mysteries of life and death as he struggles with the frightening truths of his childhood home and his town's past. Growing up in Rockville Centre, Long Island, Gary Jansen never believed in ghosts. His mother-a devoutly Catholic woman with a keen sense for the uncanny-claimed that their family house was haunted. But Jansen never found anything inexplicable in how their doorbell would sometimes ring of its own accord; or in the mysterious sounds of footsteps or breaking glass that occasionally would fill their home; or even in his mother's sometimes unnervingly accurate visions of future events and tragedies. Though he once experienced a supernatural encounter in a Prague church as a young man, Jansen grew up into a rationalist, as well as a noted writer and editor. In 2001, Jansen moved back into the very same house where he had once grown up, to raise a family with his wife. In 2007, he encountered a frightening, full blown haunting in his home. This became the first step of a phenomenon that lasted a full year and eventually included unveiling the identities of the spirits who occupied his house, reliving a tragic murder in his hometown, encountering mind-boggling coincidences between local history and episodes in his household; and finally-with the help of Mary Ann Winkowski, the real-life inspiration for TV's Ghost Whisperer-ridding his house of these uninvited visitors. Holy Ghosts is not only a gripping true-life ghost story, but a wry and touching memoir, as well as a meditation on the relationship between religion and the paranormal, which are often considered at odds, but which the author shows are intimately linked.
Holy Men of the Electromagnetic Age: A Forgotten History of the Occult
by Raphael CormackAn international history of the uncanny in the 1920s and 1930s. The interwar period was a golden age for the occult. Spiritualists, clairvoyants, fakirs, Theosophists, mind readers, and Jinn summoners all set out to assure the masses that just as newly discovered invisible forces of electricity and magnetism determined the world of science, unseen powers commanded an unknown realm of human potential Drawing on untapped sources in Arabic in addition to European ones, Raphael Cormack follows two of the most unusual and charismatic figures of this age: Tahra Bey, who took 1920s Paris by storm in the role of a missionary from the mystical East; and Dr. Dahesh, who transformed Western science to create a panreligious faith of his own in Lebanon. Traveling between Paris, New York, and Beirut while guiding esoteric apprenticeships among miracle-working mystics in Egypt and Istanbul, these men reflected the desires and anxieties of a troubled age. As Cormack demonstrates, these forgotten holy men, who embodied the allure of the unexplained in a world of dramatic change, intuitively speak to our unsettling world today

Holy Sobriety in Modern Russia: A Faith Healer and His Followers (NIU Series in Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies)
by Page HerrlingerDrawing on multiple archives and primary sources, including secret police files and samizdat, Holy Sobriety in Modern Russia reconstructs the history of a spiritual movement that survived persecution by the Orthodox church and decades of official atheism, and still exists today. Since 1894, tens of thousands of Russians have found hope and faith through the teachings and prayers of the charismatic lay preacher and healer, Brother Ioann Churikov (1861–1933). Inspired by Churikov's deep piety, "miraculous" healing ability, and scripture-based philosophy known as holy sobriety, the "trezvenniki"—or "sober ones"—reclaimed their lives from the effects of alcoholism, unemployment, domestic abuse, and illness. Page Herrlinger examines the lived religious experience and official repression of this primarily working-class community over the span of Russia's tumultuous twentieth century, crossing over—and challenging—the traditional divide between religious and secular studies of Russia and the Soviet Union, and highlighting previously unseen patterns of change and continuity between Russia's tsarist and socialist pasts. This grass-roots faith community makes an ideal case study through which to explore patterns of spiritual searching and religious toleration under both tsarist and Soviet rule, providing a deeper context for today's discussions about the relationship between Russian Orthodoxy and national identity. Holy Sobriety in Modern Russia is a story of resilience, reinvention, and resistance. Herrlinger's analysis seeks to understand these unorthodox believers as active agents exercising their perceived right to live according to their beliefs, both as individuals and as a community.

El hombrecito del azulejo
by Manuel Mujica LáinezUn hombrecito pintado puede convertirse en bufón o en héroe para salvarla vida de su compañero de juegos. Un ancho río que queda seco necesita un pastor que pueda arriar las nubes a la altura de su cauce. Dos cuentos con magia y poesía, con ternura y suspenso, que ya pertenecen a la historia fantástica de Buenos Aires. El hombrecito del azulejo existe. Está pintado en una mayólica del salón de los recuerdos de "El Paraíso", la casa que en Cruz Chica, en las sierras de Córdoba, tenía Manuel Mujica Lainez (Manucho). Es un hombrecito azul; parece frágil, pero en el relato, Manucho, le dio una gran fortaleza ya que se enfrenta con la muerte y la entretiene para salvar la vida de su compañero de juegos. Ambos cuentos de este libro, "El pastor del río" y "El hombrecito del azulejo", fueron publicados en Misteriosa Buenos Aires. En aquel libro el autor, a través de historias inspiradas en hechos reales o creadas por su fantasía, trata de reconstruir el pasado de la ciudad en la que vivía. Recuerdo haber visto en su casa del barrio de Belgrano un caballo de madera. Era un caballo de calesita que una gran tienda del centro le había regalado. Poly Bernatene sumó todo su arte para recrear las atmósferas de estas historias tan conmovedoras.
HOMBROS DE TANQUE DE BATALLA: Construya el TANQUE ABRAMS TANK como hombros con los ejercicios y rutinas de este libro
by Rahul MookerjeeEstimado lector, La VERDADERA piedra angular de la fuerza de la parte superior del cuerpo de un hombre (o una mujer, para el caso) proviene de los HOMBROS. Hay una razón por la que tenemos el dicho "hombre de hombros anchos" en inglés y otros idiomas. Hay una razón por la que los hombros anchos, fuertes, densos y gigantescos no solo se ven poderosos, sino que SON poderosos, ¡e inspiran ASOMBRO a los ojos de los espectadores! ¿Y la razón? Bueno, simple... los HOMBROS son los que conectan toda la parte superior de tu cuerpo. En el pasado, los hombres, o debería decir HOMBRES DE VERDAD (pista: el hombre de hoy en día NO es lo que yo consideraría un hombre de verdad o en cualquier lugar cercano) ciertamente no pasó horas parloteando en la "estación de banco" más cercana o acicalándose y posando después de las "últimas relaciones públicas" con los hermanos. Hace mucho tiempo, cuando los HOMBRES eran REALMENTE fuertes, NO pasaban horas y horas tirando desesperadamente de uno de los inventos modernos más inútiles que existen; esa es la máquina de polea lateral: una invitación abierta a las lesiones, si alguna vez hubo una. Hace mucho tiempo, los HOMBRES DE VERDAD no se molestaban en tener seis paquetes, o secciones medias muy delgadas para "atrapar a las chicas" o "alardear en el spa". "(Oohh chico, ¿qué varonil, eh?) Se preocuparon por lo que era importante: desarrollar fuerza real, CARÁCTER real, ¡y hacerlo con energía, vigor y los ejercicios CORRECTOS! Combina eso con el desorden moderno de un hombre.
Home: the quest to belong
by Jo SwinneyWhere is Home?This question troubles many of us. We may live far from where we grew up, away from those we love or in a culture not our own. But we all need somewhere to belong, to find a sense of home in this world.Jo Swinney was born in the UK, but grew up in Portugal and France. She went to an English boarding school, did a gap year in southern Africa and in her twenties studied theology in Canada, where she met her American husband. Now back in the UK, she's had more reason than most to wonder what 'home' really means.Is home where you come from - where you live now - where the people you love are - or what?Interweaving a frank and poignant retelling of her own story with theological and psychological insights, Jo's original and authentic exploration of home in all its many and varied forms is a heartfelt call to find our home in the things that are truly of most value.
Home-based Work in Victorian Britain: Insights for Contemporary Occupational Health and Safety
by Gillian JosephHome- based work has increased in recent decades and intensified as a result of policies created to control the spread of COVID-19, creating a labour market in rapid transition. Yet little attention has been paid to the issues associated with occupational health and safety or to how employers will monitor and maintain employee health and safety in a home- based work environment. Using historical case studies from Victorian Britain, this book reflects on the past to examine resurfacing health and safety concerns that shaped, and continue to shape, the home- based working experience. Anchored by family research case studies, this book presents documents and newspaper accounts about the diverse experiences of three real people who lived and worked from their homes in the Victorian era. Supported by academic and popular literature on work and policy about the era, the book discusses changing worldviews and social context that shaped occupational health and safety at the time and critiques the outcomes of policies that were challenged to address these risks. The case study experiences are used as a touchstone between the past and present to draw parallels between important health and safety concerns that may be resurfacing in our modern post-COVID transition to home-based work. This book will be a valuable resource for researchers, academics and postgraduate students of occupational health and safety, occupational science, labour history and human resource management, as well as Victorian studies. It will also be of interest to policymakers and practitioners working across the fields of workplace and occupational health and safety.
