"A kick-ass book on menopause. Do yourself a favor and pick up this
gem."-Dr. Jen Gunter, bestselling author of The Vagina Bible and
The Menopause Manifesto Menopause and perimenopause are no laughing
matter but that doesn't stop Amanda Thebe from approaching her 50s
with a sense of humor. In this hilarious and personal account, the
fitness trainer shares how she lost weight, dealt with her
depression, improved her sleep, and overhauled her diet to survive
and thrive during menopause. Now you can, too! Includes a Bonus
Strength Training Guide for Women Over 40 At a time when menopause
has become an urgent topic of public discussion, with the likes of
Michelle Obama revealing their struggles for the first time,
personal trainer Amanda Thebe shares her journey with bold and
big-hearted writing that will be familiar to readers of Glennon
Doyle. Readers will come away from the book with: A better
understanding of your own hormones and how they factor in menopause
and your overall health; Confidence to speak your truth about your
menopause symptoms to your doctor, other health professionals, your
family, and friends; Zero bull-sh*t tips for nutrition, fitness,
vagina health, sex, and more. Amanda Thebe was working as a
personal trainer and fitness coach when, at age 43, she started
experiencing debilitating exhaustion, dizziness, and depression.
The busy mother of two boys was used to traveling the world and
climbing mountains. Now, she struggled to climb out of bed. After
several failed doctor's appointments, Thebe saw her gynaecologist,
who finally named the source of her struggles: perimenopause, the
period of 5-10 years before menopause, when a woman's fluctuating
estrogen levels put her at risk of depression, anxiety, headaches,
and more ailments related to female hormone health. Empowered by
information, Thebe began her journey back to her former self,
overhauling her approach to diet, mental health, and exercise. In
Menopocalypse, she explains how to deal with migraines, hot
flashes, weight gain, exhaustion, poor sleep, vaginal dryness, and
mood swings-offering tips that have worked for her and others. She
shares information about hormone therapy. She even shares her own
strength-training routine, complete with a suggested workout
schedule, easy-to-follow instructions, and pictures of herself
doing the exercises, so you can feel empowered, fit, and ready to
tackle the day. Menopause isn't fun, sexy, or cool, and a woman
might spend one-third of her life in it-but that doesn't mean women
should suffer in silence without support. Let the outspoken and
honest Amanda Thebe be your guide to surviving-and thriving-during
menopocalypse.
This is the first English translation of Book III of Hephaistion of
Thebes' Apotelesmatics, which focuses on inceptions or elections,
event charts, thought-interpretation, and inquiries of many types.
This 5th Century AD work explores everything from general
principles of elections, to finding and identifying thieves,
predicting the course of illness, analyzing general thoughts and
plans, consecrating statues, and more. Throughout, Hephaistion
includes lengthy and valuable quotations from Dorotheus of Sidon,
one of our only ancient sources for these authentic Greek verses.
Translated by Eduardo J. Gramaglia, and edited and introduced by
Dr. Benjamin N. Dykes, it serves practicing astrologers and
scholars of the Hellenistic, medieval, and modern traditions in
astrology.
Botswana's large deposits of diamonds have made it one of the
richest African countries on a per capita basis. However, more than
wealth, what has made Botswana a model country in southern Africa
is its long tradition of democratic rule, respect for ethnic and
racial differences, freedom of the press, and governmental programs
to support its citizens. Even though Botswana has had its share of
problems--including ecological disasters such as drought-- the
spirit of its people and their willingness, despite cultural
differences, to work together to overcome such setbacks make this
country exceptional. General readers will find a wealth of
up-to-date information on such topics as the legacy of Christian
missionaries, especially the famous David Livingstone, society post
Independence, the unique blend of Christianity and ancestral
spiritual practices, the AIDS crisis, initiation rites, community
rule by chiefs, polygamy, cattle raising, food and beer, betrothal
customs, education, unique games, the integral music and dance, and
much more. The authors provide a thorough, one-stop resource for
learning about a significant country that has stayed peaceful
despite the strife of neighboring South Africa and Angola, for
example. Narrative chapters by these insiders cover the land,
people, languages, education, economy, history, religion and
worldview, literature and media, art and architecture, cuisine and
traditional dress, gender roles, marriage, and family, social
customs and lifestyle, and music and dance. Photos, a chronology,
and a glossary complement the narrative.

This is the first scholarly collection of articles focused on
the cultural astronomy of the African continent. It weaves together
astronomy, anthropology, and Africa and it includes African myths
and legends about the sky, alignments to celestial bodies found at
archaeological sites and at places of worship, rock art with
celestial imagery, and scientific thinking revealed in local
astronomy traditions including ethnomathematics and the creation of
calendars.
As the government moves from one humanitarian organisation to
another, begging basket in hand and people sink deeper into food
insecurity, what was once the country's commercial agricultural
empire lies desolate, reduced to an extension of the subsistence
farming sector. This work problematises the situation in the former
commercial farms, and argues that, the crisis was intrinsic in the
'jambanja' process, and the subsequent state incapacity to offer
post-settlement support to the new landholders. Using ethnographic
data from three resettlement farms in uMguza District, it argues
that 'jambanja' gave birth to subsistence landholders in commercial
farming zones.These landholders were not farmers but they fulfilled
a political objective for the government, which later abandoned
them without any post-settlement support. Without state support,
the new landholders failed the transition from a traditional
agricultural system to commercial orientated production, resulting
in their falling back on the agricultural system they knew
best.Resettlement also interfered with traditional institutions,
which have long informed African farming practices.
Two and a half decades of land reform in Zimbabwe completely
changed the country's agricultural landscape. The prominent
features of the new landscape were the small-family operated farms,
created from the commercial farming sector. While the process has
been looked at as something unique, it was another social
engineering process. Although Zimbabwe is considered a
crop-producing country, 60 percent of the country is either semi
arid or arid, and characterised by climatic uncertainty and
perennial droughts. Communities in these regions have developed a
semi-proletariat culture. Livelihoods are highly diversified and
heavily reliant on non-farm sources of income. This work analyses
processes of land reforms in the country, including the continued
commitment by the state and other actors to the small farm model.
The study concludes that, the policy reflected the motives and
visions of certain actors, which did not reflect rural reality in
the whole of the country. This work therefore advocates for a
search for a new rural development narrative that will move away
from assumption about how people live their lives, and should be
useful to practitioners, academics and policy-makers.
