Victims of the Chilean Miracle
Chile was the first major Latin American nation to carry out a complete neoliberal transformation. Its policies—encouraging foreign investment, privatizing public sector companies and services, lowering trade barriers, reducing the size of the state, and embracing the market as a regulator of both the economy and society—produced an economic boom that some have hailed as a “miracle” to be emulated by other Latin American countries. But how have Chile’s millions of workers, whose hard labor and long hours have made the miracle possible, fared under this program? Through empirically grounded historical case studies, this volume examines the human underside of the Chilean economy over...

Ultra-Processed Foods and Human and Planetary Health
The NOVA system is a food classification system based on the degree and purpose of industrial food processing. NOVA, which introduced ‘ultra-processed’ as a food category, has been widely employed within the research community, and is increasingly used by national governments, international organisations, and civil society. Ultra-processed foods (UPF) are defined as formulations of food-derived substances (e.g., fats, sugars, starch, protein isolate) that contain little if any whole food and include classes of additives whose function is to make the final product palatable or more appealing (‘cosmetic additives’), like colours, flavours, and emulsifiers. The impact of the production and consumption of ultra-processed foods on human and planetary health has been acknowledged and has started to gather global attention more recently. Because UPFs have become dominant components in diets of populations worldwide, there is an urgent need to scrutinise the human health, sustainability, and food environment impacts across a range of populations and country contexts and to understand the implications of their consumption for health inequalities.
The Five Generation Genesis Of God
The Five Generation Genesis of God is a collection of facts that may be controversial, concerning the Fall of the Roman Empire and the rise of the Jewish Nation. How did the Jewish people still survive after losing their temple and homeland in 70 AD. What were the secrets that were concealed from the people known only to the Jew and kept secret for almost 2000 years? The many mirrors of Galilee. The Take over the World Spell, the lines of powerful Jewish Makes. The Saria and how we are all made, the Sefriot and the Hebrew Intelligence Paths. The Christian Kingdom of Strathcylde, and the first generations of Christianity. A quote of the Father Flavious Josephus, applied to chart format for an understanding of the Genealogy of the Aaronic Priest. Greek Gods, and a firm study of Kings and the relationships there. The kingdom of Lydia, the Sumarian Dieties.
The Siege of Valencia
This parallel text edition of Felicia Hemans’s important dramatic poem presents the 1823 publication alongside a transcription of the original manuscript, offering a unique glimpse at her compositional process. Situated in medieval Spain, in the heat of Moorish-Christian conflicts, this complex political tragedy is both a rich historical narrative and a commentary by the poet on her own post-Napoleonic world. The Broadview edition also includes selections of related poetry, excerpts from source texts, and contemporary reviews.
The Epic Film
As Charlton Heston put it: ‘There’s a temptingly simple definition of the epic film: it’s the easiest kind of picture to make badly.’ This book goes beyond that definition to show how the film epic has taken up one of the most ancient art-forms and propelled it into the modern world, covered in twentieth-century ambitions, anxieties, hopes and fantasies. This survey of historical epic films dealing with periods up to the end of the Dark Ages looks at epic form and discusses the films by historical period, showing how the cinema reworks history for the changing needs of its audience, much as the ancient mythographers did. The form’s main aim has always been to entertain, and Derek E...
