Ets el que menges: Una guia per millorar l'alimentació i cuidar la salut
by Núria CollLa periodista i divulgadora de temes de salut més reconeguda del nostre país ens explica tot allò que sap sobre nutrició i vida sana. Uneix-te als milers de seguidors de la revolució saludable amb els consells de Núria Coll. Menjar saludable no és difícil, però de vegades ens perdem entre tantes dades i dietes de moda. No cal aprendre cada nou estudi nutricional; probablement ens serviria més aturar-nos i pensar una mica. En aquest llibre de reflexions i consells la periodista especialitzada en alimentació saludable, Núria Coll, amb idees i pensaments basats en el sentit comú, ens proposa un objectiu clar: despertar al lector l'ambició de tenir un criteri propi perquè no depengui del que és que els gurus diuen que cal menjar. Aquest llibre t'empoderarà per trobar el teu propi camí en la teva alimentació. «Quan al 2014 vaig començar en la divulgació de l'alimentació saludable, no tenia gaire coneixements, però en poc temps em vaig adonar que, de manera urgent, havíem d'evitar molts dels pots i paquets que omplen els nostres rebosts. En qüestió de setmanes vaig canviar els meus hàbits alimentaris de forma radical, vaig començar a menjar saludable i vaig aprendre una cosa crucial: l'important no era només què menjar, sinó com.»
Ett gott parti: Scener ur Ellan de la Chapelles och Albert Edelfelts liv
by Maria Vainio-KurtakkoDet här är berättelsen om ett äktenskap, om friherrinnan Ellan de la Chapelle och konstnären Albert Edelfelt. Här vävs tvåsamhetens glädje och vänskap samt tvister och bekymmer samman med samtida skönlitteratur och det sena 1800-talets tidsanda, där det moderna genombrottet stod inför dörren. Hur skulle man förhålla sig till manliga och kvinnliga roller, sedesamhet och dubbelmoral? Och hur skulle man välja den rätta när både känslor och släktbakgrund spelade roll? Ellan och Albert, som båda ställt sig tveksamma till giftermål, bildade ett till synes lyckat förbund. Men bakom kulisserna knakade det i fogarna när en framåtblickande kvinnas ambitioner och en konstnärs brokiga liv skulle anpassas efter omvärldens förväntningar. Parets självskrivna plats i Helsingforssocieteten och i de parisiska salongerna väckte gång på gång knepiga frågor om ekonomiska resurser, inflytande och social position. Ett gott parti skisserar fram ett äktenskap i tiden, och samtidigt ett samhälle i miniatyr.

Eudora Welty and Mystery: Hidden in Plain Sight (Critical Perspectives on Eudora Welty)
by Jacob Agner and Harriet PollackContributions by Jacob Agner, Sarah Gilbreath Ford, Katie Berry Frye, Michael Kreyling, Andrew B. Leiter, Rebecca Mark, Suzanne Marrs, Tom Nolan, Michael Pickard, Harriet Pollack, and Victoria RichardEudora Welty’s ingenious play with readers’ expectations made her a cunning writer, a paramount modernist, a short story artist of the first rank, and a remarkable literary innovator. In her signature puzzle-texts, she habitually engages with familiar genres and then delights readers with her transformations and nonfulfillment of conventions. Eudora Welty and Mystery: Hidden in Plain Sight reveals how often that play is with mystery, crime, and detective fiction genres, popular fiction forms often condescended to in literary studies, but unabashedly beloved by Welty throughout her lifetime. Put another way, Welty often creates her stories’ secrets by both evoking and displacing crime fiction conventions. Instead of restoring order with a culminating reveal, her story-puzzles characteristically allow mystery to linger and thicken. The mystery pursued becomes mystery elsewhere. The essays in this collection shift attention from narratives, characters, and plots as they have previously been understood by unearthing enigmas hidden within those constructions. Some of these new readings continue Welty’s investigation of hegemonic whiteness and southern narratives of race—outlining these in chalk as outright crime stories. Other essays show how Welty anticipated the regendering of the form now so characteristic of contemporary women mystery writers. Her tender and widely ranging personal correspondence with the hard-boiled American crime writer Ross Macdonald is also discussed. Together these essays make the case that across her career, Eudora Welty was arguably one of the genre’s greatest double agents, and, to apply the titles of Macdonald’s novels to her inventiveness with the form, she is its “underground woman,” its unexpected “sleeping beauty.”
Eudämonie - Vom guten, besseren, gelingenden Leben
by Gerhard DanzerDer Titel Eudämonie verspricht Schönes,Angenehmes, Erbauliches, und alles das will und soll dieses Buch auch leisten. Wervon uns wünschte sich nicht ein gutes und gelingendes Leben, ohne allerdings somir nichts, dir nichts sagen zu können, woraus denn dieses Gute, Schöne undWahre besteht. Wer von uns kennt nicht den intensiven Wunsch nach Glück undZufriedenheit, und wem begegneten bei seiner oder ihrer Suche nach Glück und Zufriedenheitaber nicht schon Hürden und Herausforderungen aller Art, die uns bisweilen rat-und hilflos haben werden lassen? Allein schon aufgrund dieser persönlichen Kalamitäten,die jeder von uns oftmals zu gewärtigen hat, scheint es gerechtfertigt, überEudämonie und damit über die Möglichkeiten eines gelingenden Lebensnachzudenken.
Euphorias in Gender, Sex and Sexuality Variations: Positive Experiences
by Tiffany JonesThis Open Access book uses the concept of ‘euphoria’ to investigate when, why and how marginal gender, sex and sexuality groups have positive experiences of their diverse variations even within repressive and disordering contexts. Drawing on data from multiple online surveys including a study of 2,407 LGBTQ+ people and a study of 272 people with intersex variations, it names and offers a new ecological framework for understanding participants’ influences on and barriers to euphorias, asserting the subversive possibilities of being euphorically queer, as opposed to euphoric and queer. The author argues that it is the particularities of negative internal, socio-cultural and institutional contexts for a marginal group or groups that contributes towards the possibilities that shape their potential euphoric feelings and experiences. Ultimately, she calls for a more expansive focus in gender and sexuality studies to show the complex effects of dysphoria and repression on the possibilities of pleasure and joy.This book will be of interest to scholars across Gender, Sexuality and Queer Studies.

Europa: Una historia personal
by Timothy Garton AshUna asombrosa mezcla de historia contemporánea, reportaje de investigación y memoria íntima de la pluma de uno de los escritores que mejor han escrito sobre Europa. «El libro que Europa necesitaba, en el momento justo. Perfecto para el presente». Timothy Snyder A partir de la experiencia de quienes lo vivieron, Europa cuenta cómo el continente se recuperó lentamente de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y logró reconstruirse y prosperar. Y luego se atascó. Timothy Garton Ash, uno de los mejores pensadores europeos, ha pasado su vida estudiando esta parte del mundo. Este emocionante libro está repleto de experiencias vividas: desde los recuerdos de su padre del desembarco de Normandía y el espionaje al que lo sometió la Stasi hasta entrevistas con guerrilleros albaneses en las montañas de Kosovo, o sus encuentros con adolescentes desesperados en los barrios más pobres de París, aparte de sus consejos a presidentes, ministros de exteriores y primeros ministros. Europa es al tiempo una historia atestiguada y tangible de un periodo de increíbles avances, una crónica honesta de las cosas que salieron mal y una llamada urgente a los ciudadanos de este gran y viejo continente para entender y defender lo que hemos logrado colectivamente. La crítica ha dicho:«Una conmovedora carta de amor a Europa. Europa conjuga las memorias, el análisis político y la crítica social para iluminar el futuro de un continente aún perseguido por su pasado».Lea Ypi «Sabemos que hay alemanes, italianos, españoles y polacos, ¿pero existen los europeos? Pues sí, al menos uno: Timothy Garton Ash.Europa es la brillante y cautivadora historia de cómo se convirtió en uno de ellos».Mark Lilla«Este libro, escrito por un hombre que asistió en primera fila a gran parte de la historia que describe, se basa en sus experiencias y en las de sus amigos para dar vida a los acontecimientos».M. E. Sarotte «GartonAsh combina hábilmente la erudición, la experiencia periodística y las observaciones e historias personales en Europa. Un delicioso libro que invita a la reflexión».Robert B. Zoellick «Garton Ash se ha labrado un nicho único como historiador del presente. Europa combina su testimonio de la evolución de Europa con su aguda visión histórica para ofrecer un libro innovador y absorbente».Charles A. Kupchan«Timothy Garton Ash cuenta la historia épica de la Europa de la posguerra».Irish Times «¿Es Europa una entidad real o una mera construcción del deseo? Este libro, observado de cerca, explora ambas posibilidades».Kirkus Reviews
Europe and Asia as a Legal Area for Fundamental Rights
by Masahisa Deguchi Kimio YakushijiThis book explores the possibility of an Asian legal sphere based on the model of Europe. It features articles written by leading experts from Europe and Asia. After centuries of violent conflicts, Europe began a process of integration which leads to 75 years of peace and a community with the common values of freedom, fundamental rights, and the rule of law. But the circumstances that lead to the unification of Europe differ from current-day Asia: Besides the huge economic gaps between neighboring countries and a wide variety of political forms of government, Asia also does not share the unifying narrative of post-WWII Europe.From an economic point of view, Asia is a highly developed region; despite the differences between the political systems, the region has grown together—economically and in recent times also politically. However, the legal systems of the respective countries have not created the necessary conditions for a peaceful coexistence. Can Europe be a model for Asia? Based on the history and development of the European unification process, this book asks the question to what extent Asia can look to Europe as a model and what lessons can be learned.
Europe and Japan Cooperation in the Fight against Cross-border Crime: Challenges and Perspectives (Globalisation, Europe, and Multilateralism)
by Shin Matsuzawa, Anne Weyembergh and Irene WieczorekThis book is the first to map and critically analyse the legalisation of EU-Japan cooperation in criminal justice matters, charting the existing legal instruments which regulate cooperation in the fight against crime between European states and Japan. It examines which forms of cooperation are regulated by EU Law, and which are not, and takes stock through selected case studies of the functioning in practice of cooperation between the EU as an organisation, single European States and Japan. The book focuses particularly on police cooperation, exchange of electronic evidence, mutual legal assistance, extradition, transfer of prisoners and data exchanges. It looks at the EU-Japan MLA Agreement, the Europol-Japan National Police Agency Working Arrangement, the negotiations on a PNR Agreement, and the Council of Europe Convention for Transfer of Sentenced Persons; all instruments aimed at regulating cooperation against crime between European states and Japan. Finally, the book also looks at the implications for the fight against crime of the EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement, Strategic Partnership Agreement, and the European Commission Adequacy decision. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of EU Criminal law, EU-Japan cooperation, Japanese studies, transnational crime, and more broadly to comparative criminal justice, International Relations and security studies.
Europe and the East: Historical Ideas of Eastern and Southeast Europe, 1789-1989 (Ideas beyond Borders)
by Mark Hewitson Jan VermeirenThis volume investigates competing ideas, images, and stereotypes of a European ‘East’, exploring its role in defining European and national conceptions of self and other since the eighteenth century. Through a set of original case studies, this collection explores the intersection between discourses about a more distant, exotic, or colonial ‘Orient’ with a more immediate ‘East’. The book considers this shifting, imaginary border from different points of view and demonstrates that the location, definition, and character of the ‘East’, often associated with socio-economic backwardness and other unfavourable attributes, depended on historical circumstances, political preferences, cultural assumptions, and geography. Spanning two centuries, this study analyses the ways that changing ideals and persistent clichéd attitudes have shaped the conversation about and interpretations of Eastern Europe. Europe and the East will be essential reading for anyone interested in images and ideas of Europe, European identity, and conceptions of the ‘East’ in intellectual and cultural history.
Europe and the Transformation of the Irish Economy (Elements in Economics of European Integration)
by Patrick Honohan John FitzGeraldHaving stagnated for decades in the shadow of the UK, the Irish economy's performance improved after it joined the European Union (EEC) in 1973. This Element shows how the challenge of EU membership gave focus and direction to Irish economic policy. No longer dependent on low value-added agricultural exports to Britain, within the EU Ireland became a hub for multinational corporations in IT and pharmaceutical products. This export success required and facilitated a strengthening of education and social policy infrastructures, and underpinned the achievement of high average living standards. EU membership has also brought challenges, and several severe setbacks have resulted from Irish policy mistakes. But the European flavour of Ireland's structural policies (leavened with exposure to US experience) has helped it navigate the hazards of hyper-globalization with fewer political tensions than seen elsewhere.

Europe in the Age of Post-Truth Politics: Populism, Disinformation and the Public Sphere (Palgrave Studies in European Political Sociology)
by Maximilian Conrad Charlotte Galpin Asimina Michailidou Guðmundur Hálfdanarson Niko PyrhönenThis open access book is the product of three years of academic research that has been carried out in the EU-funded Jean Monnet Network on “Post-Truth Politics, Nationalism and the Delegitimation of European Integration” since 2019. Drawing on the multidisciplinary expertise of the network’s members, the book explores the impact of the phenomenon of post-truth politics on European integration and the European Union. It places particular emphasis on how post-truth politics has played out in the public sphere and asks what impact the phenomenon has had on public deliberation, but reflects also on its implications for democracy in a wider sense. This book is primarily written for audiences with an interest in politics and policy making, including academics, policy makers and civil-society actors. Thanks to its accessible style, the book should however also be an asset to wider audiences.
Europe in the Global Space Economy (SpringerBriefs in Space Development)
by Clelia Iacomino Patrizia CaraveoThis book analyzes the policies and space economy programs of major space-faring nations and explores whether the present institutional set-up in Europe is adequate to address the challenges. At the core of the discussion are the relative roles of governments and markets in a highly dynamic panorama that involves advancements in science, modifications in technology and organization, and the introduction of new rules of behavior. After a close examination of the history of development of the space economy, and the shift from the centralized model to deregulation and the opening up of space activities to commercial companies, a wide-ranging overview of global space governance is provided. National and regional perspectives are discussed, and the current role of commercial actors in the global space system is elucidated. The various challenges faced by Europe are then examined, including the threat posed by institutional and market fragmentation to the emergence of European companies able to compete with companies of nations such as the USA. The final part of the book analyzes proposals for reforming of the space system in Europe and offers a vision for future European space policy.
Europe-Central Asia Relations: New Connectivity Frameworks (Europe-Asia Connectivity)
by Anja Mihr Kashif Hasan KhanThis book addresses the current state of economic and political development within Central Asia and the importance of European countries and organizations as international actors and supranational organizations for the Central Asian Region (CAR).
