Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - As a white haired, green-eyed, 'black sheep' growing up in a fire zone, Sacha (then Sally) feels from a young age she doesn't fit in with her family or general environment and struggles, literally, to breathe. But when a doctor recommends ballet as a cure for her ills, though her Russian teacher tells her she is 'not built for ballet', she finds a way to bend her build to ballet and to breathe easier, succeeding against the odds to go on to win national ballet scholarships and become the youngest star of the Sydney City Ballet.But when you prove a Russian wrong, you are generally asking for trouble and, sure enough, ballet turns out not to be the escape she had hoped for and there is a price to pay for all that easy breathing.A tragicomic tale of girlhood from the grandniece of Sir Charles Lloyd Jones, former Chairman of David Jones and the founding Chairman of the ABC, and the granddaughter of his brother Eric who was not knighted for his services to retail or the broadcasting arts, because at just 38 he gave up his senior management position in the family firm to play 'gentleman's tennis' on the other side of the world (Wimbledon) and lost his money, wife and good name in the process. This is the first of three volumes of memoir in which his granddaughter seeks, tongue in cheek-ish, to recover something of her family's lost standing by doing what she can to 'Keep the Joneses up'. Don't Laugh.New edition. Previously published as The Grass Was Always Browner.

Zustand: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Seiten: 400 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | The notion of 'body positivity' is widely promoted in the modern West as a feminist ideal empowering women to reject the unhealthy pressures of the thin body-beauty standard. But is it really as empowering as it sounds? In The Fatter Sex, former ballerina Sacha Jones brings a fresh perspective to this contentious issue by highlighting the extra weight and body confidence challenges that modern women and girls face as the sex programmed to store more fat but expected to be more lean. Drawing on her own long battle with eating disorders, weight obsession and denial, as well as the hard lessons she learned trying to raise her daughter to have a healthy and happy relationship with food and fat, Sacha exposes the deceptively and increasingly complex challenges faced by members of the fatter sex as a result of these conflicting pressures. Through a range of celebrity case studies, she reveals the extent of the modern female 'body battle' and the limits of both 'diet culture' and 'body positivity' activism to effectively fight it. Her eight-course 'feisty feast' of a battle plan is outlined as an alternative approach, with the ultimate aim of empowering women of all sizes (and skins), not least the mothers and daughters, to recognise and find strength in their common cause.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Bringing together archaeological, paleoenvironmental, paleontological and genetic data, this book makes a first attempt to reconstruct African population histories from out species' evolution to the Holocene.Africa during Marine Isotope Stages (MIS) 6 to 2 (~190-12,000 years ago) witnessed the biological development and behavioral florescence of our species. Modern human population dynamics, which involved multiple population expansions, dispersals, contractions and extinctions, played a central role in our species' evolutionary trajectory. So far,the demographic processes - modern human population sizes, distributions and movements - that occurred within Africa during this critical period have been consistently under-addressed.The authors of this volume aim at (1) examining the impact of this glacial-interglacial- glacial cycle on human group sizes, movements and distributions throughout Africa;(2) investigating the macro- and micro-evolutionary processes underpinning our species' anatomical and behavioral evolution; and (3) setting an agenda whereby Africa can benefit from, and eventually contribute to, the increasingly sophisticated theoretical and methodological palaeodemographic frameworks developed on other continents.
