MacFarlane-Barrow Magnus: The Shed That
Fed 2 Million Children / B

The Shed That Fed 2 Million Children

The Mary’s Meals Story

'A life-changing book' Viv Groskop Marisa Meltzer was put on her first diet aged five: it was the beginning of a fraught relationship with food. Jean Nidetch was a housewife from Queens who defiantly lost 70 pounds after she was mistaken for being pregnant. Taking everything she learned from this experience, in 1963 she founded Weight Watchers, a company that has shaped decades of diet culture. When Marisa reads Jean's obituary, she feels a moment of intense connection. Curious about the woman and her legacy, she signs up for a year of Weight Watchers; counting points, weighing in and listening to her fellow members struggle with their bodies. This is Big is a biography of an idiosyncratic entrepreneur whose impact is still felt strongly today. It is a history of dieting and body politics for anyone who has agonised over their weight or defiantly tried not to do so. And it is Marisa's funny and thoughtful journey towards a different way to live in the world. 'This is the anti-diet book I've been waiting for' Daisy Buchanan

From the best-selling author of The End of Your Life Book Club comes a warm, funny, irresistible book that follows an improbable and life-changing friendship over the course of forty years. 'Moving. Salted with intelligence and empathy' New York Times Book Review 'A page-turner' New Yorker 'Really shines' San Francisco Chronicle 'Gorgeous' Sebastian Junger ------------- Imagine a secret society which pairs you with your polar opposite. You meet regularly. What would you talk about? Could you become friends? Will is bookish, quiet, gay, manning AIDS helplines. Maxey is loud, a wrestler, a Jock, intent on a military life. But paired together - over dinner, beers, pool games - they forge an extraordinary and resilient bond. We Should Not Be Friends is an account of their odd-couple relationship, its ups and downs, twists and turns, the misunderstandings and the trust built over forty turbulent years. ------------- 'A rare view of male friendship . . . succeeds because Maxey comes across as a great character, a warm and devoted friend' NPR 'Schwalbe has an uncanny ability to use his personal experience as a springboard for universal truths' Los Angeles Times 'A charming read with plenty of surprises. Celebrates not only an unlikely friendship, but the strange turns a life can take' Wall Street Journal 'Schwalbe's memoir shines. Written like a true friend' Daily Mail

PRE-ORDER THE PAPERBACK NOW From the best-selling author of The End of Your Life Book Club comes a warm, funny, irresistible book that follows an improbable and life-changing friendship over the course of forty years. 'Moving' NEW YORK TIMES ''Schwalbe's memoir shines...Written like a true friend' DAILY MAIL ------------- in his last year of university, Will thought he knew everyone he cared to know. A per-haired, out gay young man, working at an AIDS helpline in the early days of the crisis, Will found community amongst the theatre students, artists and writers. He also knew who he wanted to avoid: the jocks. Wearing sporty clothes and moving in boisterous packs, the jocks seemed to be a different species entirely, one Will might encounter only at his own peril. All this changed dramatically when Will was brought into a secret society at Yale, aimed to bring together a group of opposites. On his first day, he was faced with Chris Maxey - a physically imposing, loud, star wrestler who seemed to be uncomfortable around Will and embodied everything he disliked and feared. But through months of mandated dinners, and many beers, the two swapped life-stories and forged an unexpected bond that became a ballast in each other's lives for forty years. A real-life The Breakfast Club story, We Should Not Be Friends is a testament to the miracle of human connection, if only we see past our differences.

This book examines the strategies of resistance among the Dalit women of Nepal in their struggle against the social injustice of the caste system and related practices of "untouchability", particularly in regard to the ways in which these injustices lead to capability failures that diminish human dignity and the quality of life.

Religiöse Positionierungen in Judentum, Christentum und Islam

Die europäische Wahrnehmung des Buddhismus hat extreme Wandlungen vollzogen. Das liegt nicht nur an der intensivierten Begegnung und gesteigertem Wissen, sondern wesentlich an den sich verändernden Verstehensbedingungen im Zuge geistesgeschichtlicher Umbrüche in der Moderne, in deren Zentrum der Diskurs um Nihilismus steht. Während christliche Missionare und Intellektuelle ab dem 16. Jahrhundert im Buddhismus eine gottlose Verehrung des Nichts erkannten, bieten heute viele Gemeinden buddhistisch basierte Formen von Meditation an und Theologen oder Religionsphilosophen betonen die Gemeinsamkeiten in der Mystik. Der postu-lierte Nihilismus war eine Reaktion auf den Glaubwürdigkeitsverlust christlicher und klassisch-metaphysischer Denkweisen und verlangte nach alternativen Ansätzen. In der Philosophie und Theologie wich der Transzendenzbezug einer zunehmenden Betonung der Immanenz, der Sub-stanzbegriff einem Denken in Relationen und die Hoffnung auf begriffliche Erfassung der Wirk-lichkeit einer Öffnung für ihre Unverfügbarkeit. Im Zuge dessen ergaben sich neue Anknüp-fungsmöglichkeiten an buddhistisches Denken, die exemplarisch nachvollzogen und kritisch be-urteilt werden sollen.

Searching for My Slave Roots

A fiercely funny and wise story of sensuality, money and romance - how those forces can break us, and how they can make us whole again. Charlotte Shane's utterly compelling serial memoir follows its author over the course of several years as she falls in and out of love, contemplates the nature of sex work and pursues pleasure for its own sake. Growing out of a series of confessional letters sent by the author to a small but devoted mailing list, her unstinting and sometimes heart-breaking honesty about sex and relationships went on to make them a viral sensation, gaining thousands of subscribers. By turns philosophical, irreverent and explicit, here is an affecting, immediate account of one life lived to its fullest.

What would life be like if we had the courage to say, 'I want something different'? 'Elegant, thoughtful, vulnerable, and inspiring' Elizabeth Gilbert From a highly lauded modern voice in feminism and racial justice comes a deeply personal and insightful testament to the power of reimagining - the act of creating in our mind's eye that which does not but can and should exist We all experience breaking points, those moments when we realise that something must change. For activist, philanthropist, and CEO Rachel E. Cargle, reimagining - relationships, work, education, rest, faith and power - saw her through some of the most painful experiences and helped her to craft an authentic identity and become an incisive queer feminist voice of a generation. A Renaissance of Our Own offers a blueprint for how we can all use our imagination to live independent of oppressive structures and in alignment with our highest values - how we can all create a life that feels right. 'Dazzling - a loving, bold tale of imagination, bravery and radical action' Elle

Unless I am allowed to tell the story of my life in my own way, I cannot tell it at all.Mary Seacole - traveller, nurse, businesswoman and radical for her time - defied a prejudiced British government to care for soldiers wounded during the Crimean War.This ground breaking account, written by Seacole in 1857, brings to life her incredible journey from Jamaica to Central America and England, and then on to modern-day Ukraine, where she acted as nurse to injured soldiers while running her business, the 'British Hotel'. A witness to key battles, she gives vivid accounts of how she coped with disease, bombardment and other adversities during the Crimean War.In this extraordinary autobiography, Seacole shows how she navigated her way through racial injustice, poverty and ignorance to become the first woman of colour in Britain to publish her memoirs. It is a testament to her enduring legacy.

HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.
