Between You and I is James Cochrane's bestselling guide to the falling standards of written and spoken English. It is the essential course in language detoxification - a valiant attempt to salvage some pearls of good usage from the linguistic dystopia of the modern world.Many readers may be surprised to find that much of what they thought was "bad" English is in fact perfectly good, and what they have been led to think of as "good" English is sometimes ignorant, dishonest or plain stupid.
This collection contains 21 stories from the literature of America, and includes stories by Edgar Allan Poe, Henry James and Ernest Hemingway.
IN the old fairy tales the cradles of new-born infants were visited by beneficent beings who granted special gifts of fortune, beauty, talent, though sometimes a jealous hag would slink in and by a malevolent counter- charm try to spoil the bright future. Such things have long ago ceased in commonplace England, but it is differ- ent in India; and we can hardly help believing that the power of understanding the speech of animals and birds is still occasionally conferred on fortunate mortals. Else how can one explain "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi," and "Tomai of the Elephants " ? Fortunate for special purposes is the man of one race and language who is born amid the men of another, and thus inherits two tongues and the knowledge of two peoples. Such was the good fortune of Rudyard Kipling, and it is not a mere legend that, on meeting with Indian elephants amid the tawdry surroundings of an American circus, he was able to talk and understand the mystic language of the jungle.
A chronicle of world history between the two world wars examines the political, economic, social, and cultural factors that transformed the world.
This revelatory Handbook explores the relationship between religion and health, emphasising the effects of organised religion and spirituality on community, population, and public health. While comprehensively summarising the current state of the field, it focusses on pursuing new pathways vital for human health in a turbulent world. Bringing together an impressive array of internationally recognised experts, the Handbook on Religion and Health outlines a number of conceptual and theoretical frameworks for the field. Chapters examine religion and health on the micro, macro, and meso levels, before analysing wider, more holistic understandings of religion and health, through ecological, de-colonial, and sociological perspectives. Chapter authors also assess religion and health from the grassroots, and the centrality of the community to experiences of disease and spirituality. Expertly traversing an interdisciplinary area which is constantly expanding, this Handbook is a fascinating resource for students and scholars of health policy, religious studies, and cultural sociology. It will also appeal to practitioners and policy makers in global organisations operating in the public health sector.
