This book examines the social inequalities relating to food
insecurity in the UK, as well as drawing parallels with the US.
Access to food in the UK, and especially access to healthy food, is
a constant source of worry for many in this wealthy country.
Crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, have coincided with a steep
rise in the cost of living, meaning household food insecurity has
become a reality for many more households. This book introduces a
new framework to examine the many influences on local-level food
inequalities, whether they result from individual circumstances or
where a person lives. The framework will allow researchers new to
the field to consider the many influences on food security, and to
support emerging research around different sub-topics of food
access and food security. Providing a thorough background to two
key concepts, food deserts and food insecurity, the book documents
the transition from area-based framing of food resources, to
approaches which focus on household food poverty and the rise of
food banks. The book invites researchers to acknowledge and explore
the ever changing range of place-based factors that shape
experiences of food insecurity: from transport and employment to
rural isolation and local politics. By proposing a new framework
for food insecurity research and by drawing on real-world examples,
this book will support academic and applied researchers as they
work to understand and mitigate the impacts of food insecurity in
local communities. This book will be of great interest to students
and scholars of food and nutrition security, public health, and
sociology. It will also appeal to food policy professionals and
policymakers who are working to address social inequalities and
improve access to healthy and nutritious food for all.
"In The Art of Mindful Birdwatching, Claire Thompson elegantly
weaves a narrative full of her own delightfully documented
encounters with birds in amongst sage guidance on using mindfulness
to help readers become deeply aware of the present moment.
Following Claire's clearly described exercises has the potential to
lead one from mere identification to making deeply insightful
observations into the life of birds." - British Trust of
Ornithology Through personal anecdote and expert insight, Claire
Thompson of BirdLife International invites us on a mindful journey
through gardens, cities, open country, forests, coasts and
mountains to enjoy and learn from the magnificent beauty and
diversity of the avian world. Who has never gazed enviously at a
bird soaring through the sky? Or delighted in the uplifting tunes
of nature's songsters? Birds can do wonders for our hearts and
minds - if we simply pay them attention. With The Art of Mindful
Birdwatching, Claire Thompson reveals how the practice of
mindfulness enriches our birdwatching experiences - and explores
how birds are, in turn, the ideal inspiration for the practice of
mindfulness. Enjoy the magnificent diversity of colours, songs,
flight patterns and behaviours displayed by birds while reaping the
benefits of mindfulness: Increased concentration Increased
creativity Increased vitality Reduced stress and anxiety Better
overall physical and emotional well-being Better sleep Bird flight
is a symbol of freedom to soar through life without constraint, and
mindfulness similarly enables us to invite freedom and happiness
into our own lives. Find even more ways to practice mindfulness

It started as a joke. Several guys burned by love decided to create
a club they dubbed the Solitary Knights. A safe haven for the
romantically disinclined, the guys meet once a month to drink a
beer and renew their vow to avoid love at all costs. Yet beneath
the laughter and bravado, each man hides a broken heart. One night,
Drew Kensington, owner of the pub, issues a challenge, "Why don't
you find that one guy-the one that got away, the one you've never
quite let fade from your dreams? Track him down. Reconnect. Then
come back here and tell us what you found out." And so it began,
the tales of the Solitary Knights. What will they find on their
adventures into the past? Stop by Pelham Bay Pub to hear their
stories.
