For the first time a collection of essays are brought together to consider the way social processes have been involved in the implementation of nutritional science in 20th century Britain.
Nutrition in Britain
This volume brings together for the first time a collection of essays, based on original research, which focus on the history of nutrition science in Britain. Each chapter considers a different episode in the development and application of nutritional knowledge during the twentieth century. The topics covered include: the chewing cult of Horace Fletcher, dietetic education, the popularization of milk, the Dunn Nutritional Laboratory, and wartime involvement in policy making. The selection of essays in Nutrition in Britain provide valuable new insights into the social processes involved in the production and application of scientific knowledge of nutrition. This book will be fascinating reading to historians of science or medicine, as well as to medical sociologists, nutritionists, home economists, health educators, food activists and anyone with a professional or general interest in food and nutrition.
Just Alex
Alex made his choice, but now he has doubts. Did he make the right choice? Can he go through with the choice he made . . . ? Just as Alex has picked up right where In Too Deep leaves off, he chooses his life now, not his past, but can he do it? He has no clue. He has serious doubts that are magnified after he gets injured at his own birthday party. With his wedding approaching faster than he thought, he begins insisting his mama to tell him about her past, despite her wish he leave her past right where it is-in the past. Can Alex find his answers and his footing not to doubt himself before he is so late to his own wedding that Ana changes her mind about marrying him?
The Separation Solution?
Since the 1990s, there has been a resurgence of interest in single-sex education across the United States, and many public schools have created all-boys and all-girls classes for students in grades K through 12. The Separation Solution? provides an in-depth analysis of controversies sparked by recent efforts to separate boys and girls at school. Reviewing evidence from research studies, court cases, and hundreds of news media reports on local single-sex initiatives, Juliet Williams offers fresh insight into popular conceptions of the nature and significance of gender differences in education and beyond.
Compromising Positions
Compromising Positions argues that political sex scandals aren't really about sex. Rather, they are a form of cultural theater --moments of highly visible, public storytelling--that use racial and gendered symbols to create a collective sense of national worth and strength. The book shows that Americans condemn or excuse the sexual indiscretions of their politicians depending on the degree to which those politicians reinforce longstanding evangelical symbols associated with "American values" and a "Christian nation."

THE ELUSIVE CON
Robbie Robertson was a ruthless ex-soldier from Los Angeles. He had become the leader of a gang of bank robbers. He, however, had never taken part in anyone of the robberies, even though he took most of the loots for himself. The rest of the gang had had enough of him and decided they were taking off to Jamaica without his knowledge after one final heist in which a security guard was killed. Robbie was angry when he found out what had happened and vowed to find them if it took every cent he had. He found out where they were and he went there and employed the services of two of Jamaica's most notorious criminals and together, they eliminated his cronies one by one. But Robbie didn't stop there; he went about wiping out all of the witnesses, who could identify him if he were caught, including the two notorious gunmen, whom he had employed. But he made one mistake, or rather two, when he left cigarettes butts on two crime scenes.
The Disabled Child
When children are born with disabilities or become disabled in childhood, parents often experience bewilderment: they find themselves unexpectedly in another world, without a roadmap, without community, and without narratives to make sense of their experiences. The Disabled Child: Memoirs of a Normal Future tracks the narratives that have emerged from the community of parent-memoirists who, since the 1980s, have written in resistance of their children’s exclusion from culture. Though the disabilities represented in the genre are diverse, the memoirs share a number of remarkable similarities; they are generally written by white, heterosexual, middle or upper-middle class, ablebodied parents...
Liberalism and the Limits of Power
This book provides the first critical assessment of important recent developments in Anglo-American liberal theorizing about limited government. Following a comparative study of canonical liberal philosophers Hayek and Rawls, the book reveals a new direction for conceptualizing limited government in the twenty-first century, highlighting the central role that democratic politics - rather than philosophical principles - should play in determining the uses and limits of state power in a liberal regime. Williams draws on recent scholarship in the field of democratic theory and cultural studies in arguing for a shift in the ways liberals approach the study of politics.
