Download or read book Children in Antiquity written by Lesley A. Beaumont and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-30 with total page 839 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection employs a multi-disciplinary approach treating ancient childhood in a holistic manner according to diachronic, regional and thematic perspectives. This multi-disciplinary approach encompasses classical studies, Egyptology, ancient history and the broad spectrum of archaeology, including iconography and bioarchaeology. With a chronological range of the Bronze Age to Byzantium and regional coverage of Egypt, Greece, and Italy this is the largest survey of childhood yet undertaken for the ancient world. Within this chronological and regional framework both the social construction of childhood and the child’s life experience are explored through the key topics of the definition of childhood, daily life, religion and ritual, death, and the information provided by bioarchaeology. No other volume to date provides such a comprehensive, systematic and cross-cultural study of childhood in the ancient Mediterranean world. In particular, its focus on the identification of society-specific definitions of childhood and the incorporation of the bioarchaeological perspective makes this work a unique and innovative study. Children in Antiquity provides an invaluable and unrivalled resource for anyone working on all aspects of the lives and deaths of children in the ancient Mediterranean world.

Book excerpt: With eloquent and devastating imagery, the creator of the multi-award-winning book The Island again asks us to examine our responses to the plight of refugees. How long will we remain silent witnesses? 'After finishing this book, I imagined a different story, one recounting the journey of a family with an entry visa, setting out on an aeroplane or a ship, landing or docking safe and sound in a country where they can make a new start. These are known as "safe and legal pathways" and Amnesty International calls on the international community to provide them to those fleeing war, torture and persecution. Routes over land, air or sea that would save people having to entrust their lives to crime rings, which is otherwise the only possibility that remains open to them. I imagine Armin Greder would enjoy writing it but he cannot. Because today he needs to tell the story of that shared sea that has become a mass grave: the Mediterranean. Unfortunately, there is also a third story to tell: a story of silence, one with no protagonists. That is how it will be if the European Union succeeds - through "cooperation agreements" with African countries - in moving its sea borders much further south. Then there will be no more deaths (at sea). And we will eat our fish in peace.' Riccardo Noury Spokesperson, Amnesty International Italy
Download or read book Children of the Mother Goddess History of Mediterranean Neonates written by Vassilios Fanos and published by Hygeia Press. This book was released on 2020-12-11 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The leading elements in this volume are the cultural representation of birth and the forms through which its narration and representation develop in the figurative arts, through historical references, mythological tales and legends, traditions, customs and habits. The influence of myth, language and artistic expression on our cultural representation of procreation is manifest, and this way of “narrating” birth resists even today, although it comes into conflict with a more scientific vision of pregnancy and childbirth. With this book we believe we have contributed to an in-depth examination of illness narratives, thus favouring the search for a convergence between medical language in the sector and the language of cultural experience so that evidence-based medicine does not clash with narrative-based medicine, but that the two languages come together towards a reciprocity that will strengthen the alliance between physician and patient.

Book excerpt: "The rapid social, economic and technological changes taking place in the world today have led to the rise of social and emotional learning (SEL) as an essential requirement in positive human development and meaningful education. SEL competencies such as self-awareness, emotional regulation, problem solving, collaboration, understanding and empathising with others, embracing diversity and conflict resolution, are key 21st century competences. The turbulences taking place in the Mediterranean region such as civil strife, violence, socio-economic hardship, forced displacement, human trafficking and child abuse, has directed academics', policy makers' and practitioners' interest towards SEL. SEL became an innovative avenue in preventing and addressing some of the main challenges being faced by countries in the Mediterranean basin in the healthy development and quality education of children and young people. Social and Emotional Learning in the Mediterranean: Cross Cultural Perspectives and Approaches is the first publication of this kind to explore how the Mediterranean region is seeking to address the issues and challenges in the promotion and implementation of SEL. It is an attempt to raise awareness on the SEL policies, frameworks and practices taking place in the Mediterranean region, to share and celebrate good practices, and to critically reflect on the challenges faced in the effective implementation of SEL in the region, with recommendations for policy, interventions and research"--

Download or read book Children of the Dictatorship written by Kostis Kornetis and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Putting Greece back on the cultural and political map of the “Long 1960s,” this book traces the dissent and activism of anti-regime students during the dictatorship of the Colonels (1967-74). It explores the cultural as well as ideological protest of Greek student activists, illustrating how these “children of the dictatorship” managed to re-appropriate indigenous folk tradition for their “progressive” purposes and how their transnational exchange molded a particular local protest culture. It examines how the students’ social and political practices became a major source of pressure on the Colonels’ regime, finding its apogee in the three day Polytechnic uprising of November 1973 which laid the foundations for a total reshaping of Greek political culture in the following decades.

Book excerpt: Equip your child with the building blocks for lasting health--not only now, but for the rest of their lives. It's no surprise that parents want their children to eat well and build healthy attitudes towards food that will last them a lifetime. So how is it that fewer than 15% of elementary school-age children get enough fruits and vegetables in their diet? With the pressures of work, family, school, and parenting, finding the time to create a balanced nutrition plan for your kids can seem impossible. Where should you even begin? The answer lies in the past--the way some of the healthiest populations in the world ate, not too long ago. The Mediterranean diet is no meal plan being advertised by diet coaches online. It finds its basis in the eating patterns that have been shown to help prevent heart attacks, obesity, diabetes, and stroke.

This number is only on the rise, and it isn't just because of all the processed foods out there. Many children grow up with no understanding of how the foods they eat affect their body, and they find themselves lost when they have to take things into their own hands. Eva Iliana has compiled not only delicious recipes that your kids will love, but she has also proven ways you can start the nutrition discussion and enable them to take an active role in their health. In Mediterranean Kids Lunch Break, you will discover: 45simple, easy-to-prepare, delicious recipes to start the day off strong and keep that momentum going Why it's so important to talk with your kids about food openly and honestly--and the danger of labeling foods as "good" or "bad" The not-so-secret reason why the Mediterranean diet is associated with longer life, healthier hearts, and clearer minds How small changes to snacking habits can create a big impact over the course of a lifetime Exactly what you'll need to keep a pantry that enables you and your family to make healthy eating easy and painless Various ways to get your child involved in the cooking process, with specific pointers for different age groups Why you don't need to give up ice cream, pasta, or burgers to adopt a healthy diet How to make the transition to a balanced, wholefood-based diet when your kids are already used to their favorite foods And much more. Changing your child's eating habits for the better doesn't have to mean spending hours poring through recipe books and trying to figure out whether those "organic" snacks are actually good for them.
