Your Choice
This book is based on a true story about my life my name is Rodney Stone. I talk about being a child from a normal family growing up in South London and started experimenting with drugs from a young age just like all my friends and a lot of other people in the 90's did. My journey through life shows you just how easily experimenting can turn to binge drinking then to full blown addiction, to the point of nearly losing my life. I wrote this book to spread awareness of the dangers of alcohol and cocaine to show people that no-one is indestructible and I hope anyone reading this can see how easily addiction can rob you of all your freedom.

Jews and the Wine Trade in Medieval Europe
Although Jews were at the centre of commercial activity in medieval Europe, a talmudic ban on any wine touched by a Gentile prevented them from engaging in the lucrative wine trade. Wine was consumed in vast quantities in the Middle Ages, and the banks of the Rhineland hosted some of the finest vineyards in northern Europe. German Jews were, until the thirteenth century, a merchant class. How could they abstain from trading in one of the region’s major commodities? In time, they ruled that it was permissible to accept wine in payment of debt, but forbade trading in it, and they maintained that ban throughout the Middle Ages.

Alcohol, Violence, and Disorder in Traditional Europe
Traditional Europe had high levels of violence and of alcohol consumption, both higher than they are in modern Western societies, where studies demonstrate a link between violence and alcohol. A. Lynn Martin uses an anthropological approach to examine drinking, drinking establishments, violence, and disorder, and compares the wine-producing south with the beer-drinking north and Catholic France and Italy with Protestant England, and explores whether alcohol consumption can also explain the violence and disorder of traditional Europe.
