Grimahlka and Other Fantasies is a collection of previously published tales. Fortunately, fiction is timeless. Otherwise, the Odyssey would be a title no one remembers. The lead story explores a witch''s love for a foundling and pays tribute to mothers of every ilk, including the often-maligned stepmother. Like Grimahlka, each adventure encourages the reader to discover a hidden truth. In Marie Eau-Clare, the central character pays a price for a taste of forbidden desire. Yet, when love beckons a second time, she takes the risk again. Gustav Pavel is also a story about risk. Scheming to avenge the death of his wife, Pavel confronts a truth that threatens to unhinge him. As for the shadowy monk in Agent of God, he makes sport of others'' affection only to be exposed to the danger of self-love. This volume of magic and phantasmagoria is best read by the flickering light of a bonfire.

"Reginald Hammond, the author of this country''s first Planning legislation in the mid 1920s, first director of Town Planning and a central figure in the formative years of the state housing programme, is, Caroline Miller believes, an overlooked figure in New Zealand''s social history. This book explores his life and work which occurred at a pivotal time in this country''s development. It also explores the origins and processes that drove the early state housing programme, contrasting New Zealand''s approaches to those in Britain and Australia. Hammond''s construction and planning knowledge were immense and he was a deeply committed civil servant, no matter the political banner, over a 40-year professional life spanning the 20s through the 1960s."--Publisher''s description.

Would you like to learn how to lose weight and keep it off, how to put muscles on, without giving up on your favorite food? Sounds rather complicated, but the protocol of this book will will help you adequately... Intermittent fasting is a popular trend in wellness and nutrition that is taking the world by storm. Fasting is intended for a predetermined period of time, which ranges from hours to days and does not eat, drink or both. It is an eating pattern that combines feeding and fasting, or when you are not eating. Research shows that following an intermittent fasting plan helps you maintain or lose weight, avoid certain diseases, improve metabolism, and much more. While diets focus on what you can consume or how much, temporary fasting is instead based on the timing of meals and snacks and it is not just a nutritional plan if done properly, it is a way of life. Intermittent fasting does not specify what foods to eat but rather when to eat them. It''s not a diet in the conventional sense but more accurately described as a pattern of eating in this respect. Fasting was a practice throughout all of human evolution. Ancient hunter-gatherers didn''t have year-round supermarkets, refrigerators or food. They were sometimes unable to find anything to eat. As a result, humans evolved to be able to function for extended periods of time without food. In fact, it is more common to fast from time to time than always eating 3-4 (or more) meals a day. Most people follow diets to look better, but not only do people look better after intermittent fasting but they also change their lives. Numbers of nutritionists claim that intermittent fasting works a lot more profoundly than any other nutrition plan or diet. It helps detoxify the body inside and out. More importantly, intermittent fasting also helps you stay on board with your diet, as it''s so easy to follow as soon as you get the hang.

An Enslaved Mother''s Grief is a compilation of historically referenced accounts of Abolitionists activities in the Borderlands of the central Ohio River. The freedom seekers, whom they were moving north to Ohio and Canada, represented only a few thousand who began the trip but never reached freedom. This book contains the stories of four women, who noted conductors, Rev. John Rankin and Rev. James A. Thome, aided in their escapes. In particular, Harriet Beecher Stowe''s character "Eliza Harris" could be based on the culmination of several stories about harrowing conditions that a female slave and her infant son experienced crossing the ice floe of a frozen Ohio River. Another Borderland conductor and his son, Arthur and James Thome of Augusta, Kentucky, affected the escape of "Judah" to Rev. Rankin. This myriad of stories captures "A Mother''s Grief" of the separation of mother and child during chattel slavery in Kentucky.

This dissertation examines the emergence of a new, secular Muslim identity in socialist Yugoslavia from 1945 to 1980. During this period, individual Bosnian Muslim politicians and intellectuals began to promote the idea of "Muslim nationhood" and pursue affirmation by the Bosnian Republic and Yugoslav Federal governments in an effort to secure their community''s political participation and position in a diverse, multi-ethnic society. Their success, the affirmation of Muslims as one of the nations of Yugoslavia in 1968 in Bosnia-Herzegovina, and the addition of "Muslim in the national sense" to the federal census in 1971 marked a watershed in the official recognition of a secular Muslim nation, and highlighted the transition from religious conceptualizations of this community to ethnic and national ones.

"While its existence has largely been overlooked, a quite comprehensive civic design proposal for the provincial town of New Plymouth, which includes a very large coloured plan and a detailed report, was commissioned and completed between 1914 and 1916. Prepared by W.R. [William Robert] Davidge, the plan and proposal are largely unknown because the design was never put into place and the material remained buried with the archives of the now New Plymouth District council. The plan, in fact, has become disconnected from the Report and is housed in the Taranaki Museum. The importance of this civic design proposal cannot be underestimated. It represent the earliest application of the recently developed concepts of civic design and town planning that were being pioneered in Britain." -- Introduction.

A series of interconnected poems and lyric essays exploring themes of place, perception, and performance. The pieces in this thesis explore, through the lenses of phenomenology and feminist theory, the question of shifting identities and perspectives and whether it is possible or desirable to unite these into a coherent narrative or sense of self. The role of landscape and geography, as well as art and images, in shaping identity, is also addressed. These pieces attempt to enact and embody the fragmentation and partiality that is their subject through the combination of poetry with lyric essays containing nonlinear narratives and juxtaposition of short, intentionally disjointed sections.

Tobacco-related illness remains the single greatest preventable burden of morbidity and mortality in Australia. Reducing tobacco use is a major public health imperative. This thesis investigates the impact of a public policy intervention designed to inform smokers of the harms associated with smoking and to reduce tobacco use; namely graphic consumer warnings labels on cigarette packets, introduced in Australia in March 2006. The specific aim of this thesis is to examine the impact of these warnings. Social psychology provided a theoretical framework, with models predicting that behaviour can be influenced by new information. This thesis poses questions focussed on the relationship between such information, smokers'' beliefs and attitudes, their behavioural intentions and their actual behaviour. The first question examined is practical: What occurred during the introduction and implementation of graphic consumer warnings labels on Australian cigarette packets? This was asked with a view to (i) offering lessons for interested policy-makers in other countries; and (ii) documenting the intervention under study. The second question is: Did the warnings attract the attention of smokers and communicate information about smoking to change smokers'' beliefs? Thirdly: Were there attitude changes or other changes predictive of quitting? and fourthly Did behaviour change occur? Firstly, studies monitored press coverage about the new warnings and the pace of the rollout into shops. Results (presented in Chapter 2) document tobacco industry lobbying and its apparent influence in delaying the introduction of the warnings in Australia. The nature of the Australian legislation created further opportunities for delay. The second question is addressed in Chapters 2 and 3. Chapter 2 reports on a smoker intercept study; conducted once new warnings were prevalent. Chapter 3 presents smokers'' awareness of new warnings and their beliefs about a range of smoking-related health effects, from a series of cross-sectional population surveys spanning 4 years. Chapters 4 and 5 look in detail at the third and fourth research questions i.e. the impact of on smokers'' attitudes, intentions to quit and quitting behaviour. Chapter 4 presents the short-term marker of success - calls to the Quitline. Chapter 5 applies Fishbein & Ajzen''s[1] Reasoned Action Approach with a cohort of smokers; using the model to investigate the influence of graphic warnings on smokers'' quitting behaviour and its precursors. Taken as a whole, this thesis provides a case study of the roll-out of Australian graphic cigarette packet warning labels and evidence of their impact on smokers. Australia was the 8th country to introduce such warnings. A further 31 countries have since adopted them with many more planning to. Very little is published about the process of implementation and this information from the Australian roll-out offers insight for other policy-makers. This thesis also contributes very strong evidence that Australia''s graphic warnings labels were successful in attracting smokers'' attention and in communicating information that influenced their beliefs about the consequences of smoking. There is also good evidence of translation into interest in quitting and some evidence of quitting behaviour, the ultimate aim of the public policy intervention.
