A Bite-Sized History of France

Gastronomic Tales of Revolution, War, and Enlightenment

By: Stéphane Henaut,Jeni Mitchell

A "delicious" (Dorie Greenspan), "genial" (Kirkus Reviews), "very cool book about the intersections of food and history" (Michael Pollan)—as featured in the New York Times "The complex political, historical, religious and social factors that shaped some of [France's] . . . most iconic dishes and culinary products are explored in a way that will make you rethink every sprinkling of fleur de sel." —The New York Times Book Review Acclaimed upon its hardcover publication as a "culinary treat for Francophiles" (Publishers Weekly), A Bite-Sized History of France is a thoroughly original book that explores the facts and legends of the most popular French foods and wines. Traversing the cuisines of France's most famous cities as well as its underexplored regions, the book is enriched by the "authors' friendly accessibility that makes these stories so memorable" (The New York Times Book Review). This innovative social history also explores the impact of war and imperialism, the age-old tension between tradition and innovation, and the enduring use of food to prop up social and political identities. The origins of the most legendary French foods and wines—from Roquefort and cognac to croissants and Calvados, from absinthe and oysters to Camembert and champagne—also reveal the social and political trends that propelled France's rise upon the world stage. As told by a Franco-American couple (Stéphane is a cheesemonger, Jeni is an academic) this is an "impressive book that intertwines stories of gastronomy, culture, war, and revolution. . . . It's a roller coaster ride, and when you're done you'll wish you could come back for more" (The Christian Science Monitor).

The Girl in the Green Dress

By: Jeni Haynes,George Blair-West

I didn't know that you're only supposed to have one personality. I didn't realise that having lots of voices in your head was abnormal. But you are protecting yourself. You are protecting your soul, and that's what I did.' An intelligent, poised woman, Jeni Haynes sat in court and listened as the man who had abused her from birth, a man who should have been her protector, a man who tortured and terrified her, was jailed for a non-parole period of 33 years. The man was her father. The abuse that began when Jeni was only a baby is unimaginable to most. It was physically, psychologically and emotionally sadistic and never-ending. The fact she survived may be called a miracle by some - but the reality is, it is testament to the extraordinary strength of Jeni's mind. What saved her was the process of dissociation - Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) or Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) - a defence mechanism that saw Jeni create over 2500 separate personalities, or alters, who protected her as best they could from the trauma. This army of alters included four-year-old Symphony, teenage motorcycle-loving Muscles, elegant Linda, forthright Judas and eight-year-old Ricky. With her army, the support of her psychiatrist Dr George Blair-West, and a police officer's belief in her, Jeni fought to create a life for herself and bring her father to justice. In a history-making ruling, Jeni's alters were empowered to give evidence in court. In speaking out, Jeni's courage would see many understand MPD for the first time. THE GIRL IN THE GREEN DRESS is an unforgettable memoir from a woman who refused to be silenced. Jeni Haynes is an inspiration and her bravery and determination to live is a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit. This is a unique and profoundly important book as it is not only a story of survival, it also includes incredible insight from Dr George Blair-West, Jeni's psychiatrist and an expert in DID.

Laura

A Case for the Modularity of Language

By: Jeni Ellen Yamada

The case of Laura (also known as Marta), a young retarded woman with a testable IQ of40, provides the opportunity to address key issues concerning the relationships between language andother mental functions as well and among the components of language use. The case shows thatlanguage can develop and function in spite of marked, pervasive cognitive deficiencies, and itprovides clinical evidence in support of the notion that language is an independent cognitiveability.Possibly the most in-depth and comprehensive study of selectively intact language done todate, this case counters claims that cognitive, social/interactive, and perceptual factors canwholly account for language acquistion and upholds the notion that language is a highly evolved,specialized human ability driven at least in part by a set of principles seen in no other cognitivedomains.Jeni Yamada presents Laura's provocative performance profile of relatively advancedlinguistic abilities alongside significantly impaired nonlinguistic skills. Laura differs from othersubjects studied in that her cognitive impairment is particularly marked. In addition, her syntacticand semantic knowledge are more dissociated than previously studied subjects. As the data on Lauraunfold, they show that language can emerge and develop despite limited nonlinguistic cognitiveabilities, including those hypothesized to be prerequisite for language or to reflect underlyingprinciples necessary for both nonlinguistic and linguistic development. In addition, the caseindicates that various components of language are separable and differentially related tononlanguage abilities.Jeni E. Yamada is coauthor with Susan Curtiss of the Curtiss-YamadaComprehensive Language Evaluation Test and is currently an independent scholar working in the Bostonarea.

Voice and Agency

Empowering Women and Girls for Shared Prosperity

By: Jeni Klugman,Lucia Hanmer,Sarah Twigg,Tazeen Hasan,Jennifer McCleary-Sills,Julieth Santamaria

Despite recent advances in important aspects of the lives of girls and women, pervasive challenges remain. These challenges reflect widespread deprivations and constraints and include epidemic levels of gender-based violence and discriminatory laws and norms that prevent women from owning property, being educated, and making meaningful decisions about their own lives--such as whether and when to marry or have children. These often violate their most basic rights and are magnified and multiplied by poverty and lack of education. This groundbreaking book distills vast data and hundreds of studies to shed new light on deprivations and constraints facing the voice and agency of women and girls worldwide, and on the associated costs for individuals, families, communities, and global development. The volume presents major new findings about the patterns of constraints and overlapping deprivations and focuses on several areas key to women s empowerment: freedom from violence, sexual and reproductive health and rights, ownership of land and housing, and voice and collective action. It highlights promising reforms and interventions from around the world and lays out an urgent agenda for governments, civil society, development agencies, and other stakeholders, including a call for greater investment in data and knowledge to benchmark progress.

TO HELL IN A HANDCART

DIARIES OF A POW

By: John B Shanks and Jeni Kingston

Captured near Dieppe in August 1942, after crash-landing his Spitfire, John Shanks was sent to Lamsdorf PoW camp where he kept an almost daily account of his life there. He was just 20 years old, but due to the deprivations of camp life felt 40 when he was liberated 2 ½ years later. At the end of the war, as the Soviet Army was advancing, German authorities decided to evacuate the PoW camps and march the internees westward. The March took a harrowing toll on the already undernourished and ill-equipped PoWs. The winter was the worst for nearly 50 years, reaching temperatures as low as -25C. The conditions made marching treacherous, especially as the columns of 200-300 PoWs often had to march up to 30kms a day across fields and through deep snow. Night-time billets were equally difficult and food often unobtainable. Many PoWs died during this appalling time. His diaries are not only a compelling insight into the despair and struggle, but also the hope and camaraderie that comprised his wartime experience. They also are an interesting reflection on the disenchantment felt by so many after the war in Europe ended, and the suspicion that future conflicts were just around the corner.

The Changing Role of Medical Students - E-Book

By: Jeni Harden,Ronald M. Harden

The changing role of the student – from consumer and client to partner in the learning process – is arguably the most important development in medical education in the past two decades. The Changing Role of Medical Students takes a comprehensive look at what this means for educators, researchers, administrators, and all stakeholders across health care education. Written by Ronald M. Harden, author of Essential Skills of the Medical Teacher and Eight Roles of the Medical Teacher, and his daughter Jeni Harden, a social scientist with extensive experience teaching both medical and social science students – this book aims to inform and inspire. From the philosophical to the pragmatic, students will better understand the multifaceted roles they can and should embrace in their own education, teachers and trainers will learn how to actively engage students in this process, and administrators will gain insights for how to review and evolve the role of students in their organisations for maximum effectiveness. - Describes the seven roles of the student as an active participant in the delivery of the education programme as: a professional; a facilitator of their own learning; an information processor; a curriculum collaborator; an assessor; a teacher; and as a scholar. - Contains short reflective narratives and anecdotes from the student perspective. - Ideal for students, teachers and trainers, curriculum evaluators and developers, faculty and admissions, as well as researchers and managers throughout the health care education system. - eBook version included with purchase.
