Eat Like Your Ancestors (From the Ground Beneath Your Feet)

A Sustainable Food Journey Around the English West Midlands

By: Liz Pearson Mann

Do you want to eat better and save the planet? Do media headlines about the damaging effects of the food we eat make you despair? The advice we see can be confusing, uninspiring (all numbers and exclusions), or make us feel that everything we eat is wrong. The good news is that you don't have to be bamboozled, particularly with statistics about greenhouse gas emissions. Reconnect instead to the world of real food, grown by farmers using age-old ways suited to their local landscape, and benefitting nature. This is a compact, but deep dive into sustainable food. Liz Pearson Mann takes you on a journey around the English West Midlands - a diverse landscape with a rich food history. It's relevant to where you live too. Having spent many years working in archaeology, she gives you her perspective on food. It’s a story of small farms, nature-friendly farming, of poop, rare breed sheep, cider, hops and ancient grains. Why might ways of farming and eating, that stretch back into prehistory, be relevant to us today? Come on a journey to hear more. Discover how people have always fed themselves from the ground beneath their feet, and how you can too. Tune into your local farmscape. Find out how you can reconnect. And how the past can show us the way for the future.

Take the fear out of statistics with this straightforward, practical and applied book on the how and why of using statistics. Introduction to Statistics for Nurses is an essential introductory text for all nursing students coming to statistics for the first time.

Exploring Archaeoastronomy

A History of its Relationship with Archaeology and Esotericism

By: Liz Henty

Archaeoastronomy and archaeology are two distinct fields of study which examine the cultural aspect of societies, but from different perspectives. Archaeoastronomy seeks to discover how the impact of the skyscape is materialized in culture, by alignments to celestial events or sky-based symbolism; yet by contrast, archaeology's approach examines all aspects of culture, but rarely considers the sky. Despite this omission, archaeology is the dominant discipline while archaeoastronomy is relegated to the sidelines. The reasons for archaeoastronomys marginalized status may be found by assessing its history. For such an exploration to be useful, archaeoastronomy cannot just be investigated in a vacuum but must be contextualized by exploring other contemporaneous developments, particularly in archaeology. On the periphery of both, there are various strands of esoteric thought and pseudoscientific theories which paint an alternative view of monumental remains and these also play a part in the background. The discipline of archaeology has had an unbroken lineage from the late 19th century to the present. On the other hand, archaeoastronomy has not been consistently titled, having adopted various different names such as alignment studies, orientation theory, astro-archaeology, megalithic science, archaeotopography, archaeoastronomy and cultural astronomy: names which depict variants of its methods and theory, sometimes in tandem with those of archaeology and sometimes in opposition. Similarly, its academic status has always been unclear so to bring it closer to archaeology there was a proposal in 2015 to integrate archaeoastronomy research with that of archaeology and call it skyscape archaeology. This volume will examine how all these different variants came about and consider archaeoastronomy's often troubled relationship with archaeology and its appropriation by esotericism to shed light on its position today.
