An insightful, hugely engaging new history of elite women and the country house from the sixteenth to the twentieth century  Grand houses can be found across the countryside of England and Wales. From the Stuart and Georgian periods to the Edwardian and Victorian, these buildings were once home to the aristocratic families of the nation. But what was life like for the mistresses of these great houses? How much power and influence did they really have?  Anthony Fletcher and Ruth M. Larsen explore the lives of country house mistresses. Focusing on eighteen women, and spanning five centuries, they look at the ways in which elite women not only shaped the house, household, and family, but also had an impact on society, culture, and politics within their estates and beyond. We meet Brilliana Harley, who defended her castle at Brampton Bryan; Frances Boscawen, who oversaw the building of Hatchlands; and Lady Mary Elcho, who preserved her secret life as mistress to Arthur Balfour. This is a fascinating account of the country house that puts women⠙s experiences centre stage.

The figure of the mistress is undoubtedly controversial. She provokes intense reactions, ranging from fear, to disgust and revulsion, to excitement and titillation, to sadness and perhaps to some, love. The mistress is conventionally depicted as a threat to moral living and someone whose sexuality is considered defective and toxic. Of course, she is a woman that you would not have as your friend, and certainly not your wife, since her ethical sense, if she even has one, is dubious at best. This book subverts these traditional judgements and offers an unflinching look at the lived experience of the mistress. Here she is recast as a potentially loving, free, intimate â ˜otherâ ™ woman. Drawing upon feminist philosophy, contemporary sexual ethics and the current cultural moment of #MeToo, Mistress Ethics moves beyond a narrative of infidelity, conventional judgment, the safeguarding of monogamy and conventional heterosex that permeates our society. It asks what happens when we let go of our insecurities, judgments and moralistic relationship philosophies and opt, instead, for an ethics of kindness. This kindness â “ underpinned by engaging with those deemed other and learning from mistresses, both straight and queer â “ will teach us new ways of thinking about ethics and sex, and reveal how we have better sex, and how we can be better to each other.

Criminal law, according to George Fletcher, has become localized law in the sense that each country and, within the USA, each state has adopted its own set of criminal codes, conceptions of punishable behaviour, etc. In this book, Fletcher maintains that there is much greater unity among diverse systems of criminal justice than commonly realized, and that any adequate system of criminal law necessarily must address a set of universal, basic issues. He introduces and sets out the twelve concepts that shape and guide every system of criminal justice, knowledge of which is essential to understanding the structure of the law and its local and national variations.

God is counting on his daughters to build his kingdom.This isn’t the Ruth you thought you knew. Award-winning author, Carolyn Custis James has unearthed startling new insights from a well-worn story that have life-changing implications for us today.Through careful and dynamic biblical scholarship, rediscover the story of Ruth and its characters. Naomi is no longer regarded as a bitter, complaining woman, but as a courageous overcomer. Ruth, typically admired for her devotion to Naomi, is seen as a gutsy risk-taker and a powerful agent for change among God’s people. Boaz, the Kinsman Redeemer, is repeatedly caught off-guard by Ruth’s initiatives. His partnership with her models the kind of relationships that the gospel intends for all who follow Jesus.Carolyn Custis James drills down deeper into the story where she uncovers in the Old Testament the same passionate, counter-cultural, rule-breaking gospel that Jesus modeled and taught his followers to pursue. Within this age-old story is a map to radical levels of love and sacrifice.The Gospel of Ruth vests every woman’s life with kingdom purposes and frees us to embrace wholeheartedly God’s calling. This story of two women who have lost everything contains a profound message: God created women not to live in the shadowy margins of men or of the past, but to emerge as courageous activists for his kingdom.

Medicínske médium ANTHONY WILLIAM pomohol desaťtisícom ľudí dostať sa zo zdravotných problémov, ktoré im lekári nesprávne diagnostikovali, nevhodne liečili alebo ich vyliečiť vôbec nevedeli. Darí sa mu to vďaka božskému hlasu, ktorý mu doslova šepká do ucha a prezrádza korene ľudských trápení či chorôb, ako aj prostriedky na ich liečbu. Vo svojej prvej knihe, v bestselleri New York Times Medicínske médium, Anthony prezradil, ako zostaviť špecifické liečebné plány na desiatky chorôb, pri ktorých výživa zohráva hlavnú úlohu. Jeho ďalšia kniha Medicínske médium: liečivá sila potravín sa bližšie zaoberá liečivými účinkami viac než päťdesiatich druhov ovocia, zeleniny, byliniek, korenín a divorastúcich plodov, ktorých konzumácia má jedinečný vplyv na zdravie človeka. Anthony vysvetľuje vlastnosti každej potraviny, symptómy a ochorenia, pri ktorých môže pomôcť alebo ich úplne vyliečiť, ako aj emočnú a duchovnú podporu každej z nich. Knihu dopĺňa lahodnými receptami, vďaka ktorým si maximálne vychutnáte blahodarné účinky každej potraviny. Sú to napríklad sladké zemiaky plnené dusenou kapustou alebo medovo-kokosová zmrzlina. V TEJTO KNIHE ZISTÍTE prečo sú lesné čučoriedky „potravinou vzkriesenia“, špargľa studňou mladosti a prečo nám citróny po zlých správach zdvihnú náladu, ktoré potraviny najúčinnejšie uľavia pri žlčníkových kameňoch, vysokom krvnom tlaku, mozgovej otupenosti, problémoch so štítnou žľazou, migréne a stovkách iných symptómov a ochorení, akú špecifickú liečivú moc má kivi, uhorka, mačací pazúr, kokos a veľa ďalších potravín, pravdu o maškrtných chutiach, ako využiť stres vo svoj prospech a aká je kľúčová úloha ovocia pri plodnosti. Informácie, ktoré nám Anthony prináša, sa často dramaticky líšia od tradičných poznatkov medicíny, a tak nečakajte len dookola opakované staré známe fakty. Naopak, pripravte sa na celkom nové poznatky napríklad o tom, že v pomarančoch je oveľa viac než len vitamín C. Pochopíte silu prostriedkov, vďaka ktorým sa vyliečite z chorôb a udržíte seba a svojich blízkych v bezpečí. Medicínske médium Anthony William radí, ako zmeniť svoj život pomocou skrytej liečivej sily ovocia a zeleniny. Okrem iného sa v knihe dočítate: podstatných špecifických faktoroch, ktoré majú na svedomí rastúci počet ochorení, ako aj o tom, ako pred nimi chrániť seba a svojich blízkych, potravinách, ktoré dokážu opraviť DNA, posilniť imunitný systém, zlepšiť duševné zdravie, alkalizovať všetky telesné sústavy či ochraňovať pred negatívnymi emóciami ostatných, technikách, ktoré z ovocia, zeleniny, byliniek, korenín a divo rastúcich plodov spravia liečivé potraviny ako stvorené pre individuálne potreby každého z nás. Dozviete sa tiež o konkrétnych potravinách, po ktorých sa oplatí siahnuť pri stovkách ochorení a príznakov, ako sú napríklad: úzkosť auto imunitné ochorenia rakovina cukrovka tráviace problémy únava potravinové alergie neplodnosť zápaly nespavosť lymská borelióza strata pamäti migréna ochorenie štítnej žľazy priberanie na hmotnosti
