Book Description

Following on from the No Bullshit Guides to Venice and Florence, The Dennis Fish No Bullshit Guide to Rome takes us on an irreverent, witty and original four day tour to the heart of the Eternal City where we sample the best of what she has to offer. Dodging dog excrement, discarded litter, broken glass, hawkers and persistent 'tour guides' we were introduced to Griffins and Ostriches at the Colosseum, suckling siblings at the Capitoline Museum, soaring arches at the Roman Forum and screaming attendants inside the Sistine Chapel. With not a single minute wasted along the way, we go in search of macabre holy relics and gigantic confessional boxes and Caravaggio paintings and we count how many arrows can be found in the torso of a single martyred saint. And we do it all in style as we sample the best value restaurants and the most stunning sights. This is Rome as you have never experienced her before: completely unmasked and described both honestly and passionately, just as she was encountered. Laced with sardonic humour, obscure information and helpful tips, this book will not only save you money it will put a great big smile on your face in the process. Make no mistake, if this is your maiden visit, or if you are a wily seasoned traveller, this is probably the only companion you will ever need when planning a trip to Rome.

Book Description

In this unique and spectacular and funny common- sense guide to the pearl of the Adriatic, Dennis Fish, the enfant terrible of all that is bad in the British establishment takes us on a whirlwind rampage across Venice. This time Dennis is on his best behaviour as he gives us the proverbial lowdown on the best that Venice has to offer. After visiting the island and the rest of its shimmering archipelago on dozens of occasion, there is no better placed than Dennis to lead us through the traditions, museums, churches, restaurants, culture and foibles of Venice. This guide will save you money and will make sure that you get a decent night's sleep and it will also safeguard you from potential pit falls and rip offs. It is your best friend and I suggest reading it in either softback or kindle form before you plan a trip. It can be appreciated by persons of all ages and of all sexes, whether male or female, eunuch or trans sexual. It contains the most resonate information ever recorded about Venice and it dares to ask the questions that everybody else steers clear of including: Where have all the Canaletto's gone ? and Why is the provision of public toilets so poor? Yes sir, even if you had never even thought of visiting Venice in the past, this book will definitely change your mind.

Book Description

A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

Book Description

What modern economics can tell us about ancient Rome The quality of life for ordinary Roman citizens at the height of the Roman Empire probably was better than that of any other large group of people living before the Industrial Revolution. The Roman Market Economy uses the tools of modern economics to show how trade, markets, and the Pax Romana were critical to ancient Rome's prosperity. Peter Temin, one of the world's foremost economic historians, argues that markets dominated the Roman economy. He traces how the Pax Romana encouraged trade around the Mediterranean, and how Roman law promoted commerce and banking. Temin shows that a reasonably vibrant market for wheat extended throughout the empire, and suggests that the Antonine Plague may have been responsible for turning the stable prices of the early empire into the persistent inflation of the late. He vividly describes how various markets operated in Roman times, from commodities and slaves to the buying and selling of land. Applying modern methods for evaluating economic growth to data culled from historical sources, Temin argues that Roman Italy in the second century was as prosperous as the Dutch Republic in its golden age of the seventeenth century. The Roman Market Economy reveals how economics can help us understand how the Roman Empire could have ruled seventy million people and endured for centuries.

Book Description

One of America's most intriguing show business luminaries and true rebels, Dennis Hopper's amazing life was a roller coaster series of triumphs and failures. Always intent on proving his genius and leaving a legacy, the Emmy winning and Oscar-nominated Hopper acted in more than 115 movies and four TV series, directed seven films, and passionately pursued an artist's life as a photographer and creator and collector of modern art, embracing the work of artists like Warhol and Lichtenstein before the label "pop art" was even coined. Dennis Hopper: The Wild Ride of a Hollywood Rebel explores Hopper's life from his lonely childhood in Kansas, where he became determined to win the affection of others by becoming a great artist, to his often drug-fueled days and nights in Hollywood and his spiritual home in Taos, New Mexico.

Book Description

FAO provides countries with technical support to conduct nutrition assessments, in particular to build the evidence base required for countries to achieve commitments made at the Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2) and under the 2016-2025 UN Decade of Action on Nutrition. Such concrete evidence can only derive from precise and valid measures of what people eat and drink. There is a wide range of dietary assessment methods available to measure food and nutrient intakes (expressed as energy insufficiency, diet quality and food patterns etc.) in diet and nutrition surveys, in impact surveys, and in monitoring and evaluation. Differenct indicators can be selected according to a study's objectives, sample population, costs and required precision. In low capacity settings, a number of other issues should be considered (e.g. availability of food composition tables, cultural and community specific issues, such as intra-household distribution of foods and eating from shared plates, etc.). This manual aims to signpost for the users the best way to measure food and nutrient intakes and to enhance their understanding of the key features, strengths and limitations of various methods. It also highlights a number of common methodological considerations involved in the selection process. Target audience comprises of individuals (policy-makers, programme managers, educators, health professionals including dietitians and nutritionists, field workers and researchers) involved in national surveys, programme planning and monitoring and evaluation in low capacity settings, as well as those in charge of knowledge brokering for policy-making.
