Aphrodisiacs, Fertility and Medicine in Early Modern England (Paperback): Jennifer Evans Aphrodisiacs, Fertility and Medicine in Early Modern England (Paperback)
Jennifer Evans
R729 Discovery Miles 7 290 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

An investigation into aphrodisiacs challenges pre-conceived ideas about sexuality during this period. It was common knowledge in early modern England that sexual desire was malleable, and could be increased or decreased by a range of foods - including artichokes, oysters and parsnips. This book argues that these aphrodisiacs wereused not simply for sexual pleasure, but, more importantly, to enhance fertility and reproductive success; and that at that time sexual desire and pleasure were felt to be far more intimately connected to conception and fertilitythan is the case today. It draws on a range of sources to show how, from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries, aphrodisiacs were recommended for the treatment of infertility, and how men and women utilised them to regulate their fertility. Via themes such as gender, witchcraft and domestic medical practice, it shows that aphrodisiacs were more than just sexual curiosities - they were medicines which operated in a number of different ways unfamiliar now, and their use illuminates popular understandings of sex and reproduction in this period. Dr Jennifer Evans is a Lecturer in Early Modern History at the University of Hertfordshire.

Jennifer Evans, Alun Withey
R2,703 Discovery Miles 27 030 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This volume brings together a range of scholars from diverse disciplinary backgrounds to re-examine the histories of facial hair and its place in discussions of gender, the military, travel and art, amongst others. Chapters in the first section of the collection explore the intricate history of beard wearing and shaving, including facial hair fashions in long historical perspective, and the depiction of beards in portraiture. Section Two explores the shifting meanings of the moustache, both as a manly symbol in the nineteenth century, and also as the focus of the material culture of personal grooming. The final section of the collection charts the often-complex relationship between men, women and facial hair. It explores how women used facial hair to appropriate masculine identity, and how women's own hair was read as a sign of excessive and illicit sexuality.

R3,604 Discovery Miles 36 040 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This multi-disciplinary collection brings together work by scholars from Britain, America and Canada on the popular, personal and institutional histories of pregnancy. It follows the process of reproduction from conception and contraception, to birth and parenthood. The contributors explore several key themes: narratives of pregnancy and birth, the patient-consumer, and literary representations of childbearing. This book explores how these issues have been constructed, represented and experienced in a range of geographical locations from the seventeenth to the twentieth century. Crossing the boundary between the pre-modern and modern worlds, the chapters reveal the continuities, similarities and differences in understanding a process that is often, in the popular mind-set, considered to be fundamental and unchanging.

Maladies and Medicine - Exploring Health and Healing, 1540 - 1740 (Paperback): Jennifer Evans Maladies and Medicine - Exploring Health and Healing, 1540 - 1740 (Paperback)

R501 R409 Discovery Miles 4 090 Save R92 (18%) Ships in 9 - 15 working days

Maladies and Medicine offers a lively exploration of health and medical cures in early modern England. The introduction sets out the background in which the body was understood, covering the theory of the four humours and the ways that male and female bodies were conceptualised. It also explains the hierarchy of healers from university trained physicians, to the itinerant women healers who travelled the country offering cures based on inherited knowledge of homemade remedies. It covers the print explosion of medical health guides, which began to appear in the sixteenth century from more academic medical text books to cheap almanacs. The book has twenty chapters covering attitudes towards, and explanations of some of, the most common diseases and medical conditions in the period and the ways people understood them, along with the steps people took to get better. It explores the body from head to toe, from migraines to gout. It was an era when tooth cavities were thought to be caused by tiny worms and smallpox by an inflammation of the blood, and cures ranged from herbal potions, cooling cordials, blistering the skin, and of course letting blood. Case studies and personal anecdotes taken from doctors notes, personal journals, diaries, letters and even court records show the reactions of individuals to their illnesses and treatments, bringing the reader into close proximity with people who lived around 400 years ago. This fascinating and richly illustrated study will appeal to anyone curious about the history of the body and the way our ancestors lived.

R4,185 Discovery Miles 41 850 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Throughout Germany's tumultuous twentieth century, photography was an indispensable form of documentation. Whether acting as artists, witnesses, or reformers, both professional and amateur photographers chronicled social worlds through successive periods of radical upheaval. The Ethics of Seeing brings together an international group of scholars to explore the complex relationship between the visual and the historic in German history. Emphasizing the transformation of the visual arena and the ways in which ordinary people made sense of world events, these revealing case studies illustrate photography's multilayered role as a new form of representation, a means to subjective experience, and a fresh mode of narrating the past.

The Value of Transition Support Programs for Newly Registered Nurses (Paperback): Jennifer Evans The Value of Transition Support Programs for Newly Registered Nurses (Paperback)
Jennifer Evans
R2,065 Discovery Miles 20 650 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The perceived value of transition support programs for registered nurses was reported. Two groups of registered nurses, new graduates and experienced nurses formed the participants. Data were collected from sources including printed materials made available by employing hospitals. Questionnaires, interviews and observations were used to determine the purposes, outcomes and strengths and weaknesses of the programs. There was widespread belief that some aspects of nurse education at university were inadequate. The programs were used to provide staff for the less popular areas of the hospital as well as a variety of experiences and skill development opportunities that were considered lacking in the undergraduate education of nurses. The work environments were described as difficult with nurses exposed to violence and bullying practices from fellow staff. The hospitals also used the program to exert a controlling influence over the new graduate nurse by way of roster management, assessment of skills and the expectation that each nurse would complete a transition support program before being offered full time work.

R520 Discovery Miles 5 200 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

I could hear Arthur's drunken obscenities in the hall. He slammed his heavy hip against the door. Then the pounding stopped. I heard jingling. He was fumbling for a key. It was then I rediscovered the window. Opening the latch, I peered at the ground, two floors below me. The handle rattled and I could hear Arthur swearing. I had no choice. My heart pounding so hard I could almost see it, I pushed the window open, climbed on the sill, closed my eyes and jumped. Nikki spent years running: into the arms of uncommitted lovers and unfaithful husbands, into the trap of drug abuse and alcoholism, away from the Mob and toward a dream of stardom. Being devoured a little at a time by every person she dared to trust, Nikki finally ran into the arms of the One who could restore what the locusts had eaten. Jennifer Evans lives with her husband, Gary, in Canton, Georgia. She believes that every life is a book waiting to be written. She describes herself hyperactively creative, and takes every opportunity to express that artistic bent. In addition to writing, she enjoys making music, sewing and a variety of volunteer activities. She grew up in an Air Force family, has changed residences more than forty times and is still in the process of deciding what shed like to be when she grows up. She worked at a childrens home for three years and served for thirteen as a missionary, ten of those in the Philippines. More than anything else, she wants her life to glorify Jesus Christ. This book is a part of that goal.

Emma Lee, Jennifer Evans
R2,866 Discovery Miles 28 660 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. When Linda Tuhiwai Smith's Decolonizing Methodologies was first published, it ignited a passion for research change that respected Indigenous peoples and knowledges, and campaigned to reclaim Indigenous ways of knowing and being. At a time when Indigenous voices were profoundly marginalised, the book advocated for an Indigenous viewpoint which represented a daily struggle to be heard, and to find its place in academia. Twenty years on, this collection celebrates the breadth and depth of how Indigenous writers are shaping the decolonizing research world today. With contributions from Indigenous female researchers, this collection offers the much needed academic space to distinguish methodological approaches, and overcome the novelty confines of being marginal voices.
