The Apothecary's Wife - Karen Bloom Gevirtz
The running joke in Europe for centuries was that anyone in a hurry to die should call the doctor. As far back as ancient Greece, physicians were notorious for administering painful and often fatal treatments – and charging for the privilege. For the most effective treatment, the ill and injured went to the women in their lives. This system lasted hundreds of years. It was gone in less than a century.Contrary to the familiar story, medication did not improve during the Scientific Revolution. Yet somehow, between 1650 and 1740, the domestic female and the physician switched places in the cultural consciousness: she became the ineffective, potentially dangerous quack, he the knowledgeable, trustworthy expert. The professionals normalized the idea of paying them for what people already got at home without charge, laying the foundation for Big Pharma and today’s global for-profit medication system.A revelatory history of medicine, The Apothecary’s Wife challenges the myths of the triumph of science and instead uncovers the fascinating truth. Drawing on a vast body of archival material, Karen Bloom Gevirtz depicts the extraordinary cast of characters who brought about this transformation. She also explores domestic medicine’s values in responses to modern health crises, such as the eradication of smallpox, and what benefits we can learn from these events.

Poet, Mystic, Widow, Wife: The Extraordinary Lives of Medieval Women - Hetta Howes
A spectacular, vivid, groundbreaking work of history which takes us into the minds and lives of medieval women.What was life really like for women in the medieval period? How did they think about sex, death and God? Could they live independent lives? And how can we hear the stories of women from this period?Few women had the luxury of writing down their thoughts and feelings during medieval times. But remarkably, there are at least four extraordinary women who did. Those women were: Marie de France, a poet; Julian of Norwich, a mystic and anchoress; Christine de Pizan, a widow and court writer; and Margery Kempe, a "no-good wife". In their own ways these four very different writers pushed back against the misogyny of the period. Each of them broke new ground in womenâs writing and left us incredible insights into the world of medieval life and politics.Hetta Howes has spent her working life uncovering these womenâs stories to give us a valuable and unique historical biography of their lives that challenges what we hold to be common knowledge about medieval women in Europe. Women did earn money, they could live independent lives, and they thought, loved, fought and suffered just as we do today.This mesmerising book is an unforgettably lively and immersive journey into the everyday lives of medieval women through the stories of these four iconic women writers, some of which are retold here for general readers for the first time.

Vyučuje nejen jazyk, ale také terminologii a odborné koncepty vztahující se k probíraným tématům.Slovní zásobaSlovíčka, která jsou pro studenty v dané pokročilosti pravděpodobně nová, jsou vytištěna v textu učebnice šedě a jsou zařazena ve výkladovém slovníčku na konci učebnice, kde jsou ještě rozlišena na červená (měla by patřit do aktivní slovní zásoby) a černá (pasivní slovní zásoba pro danou pokročilost).Blended LearningUčebnice využívá blended-learning - propojení práce s učitelem za využití klasických tištěných materiálů a samostudia s použitím elektronických zdrojů. Například každá lekce obsahuje Internet Research a je úzce propojena s obsahem DVD-ROMu.DVD-ROM (Workbook)Součástí knihy je výukový DVD-ROM, který slouží jako Workbook a obsahuje cvičení na gramatiku, slovní zásobu, výslovnost, psaní a testy. Speciální nástroj umožňuje studentům sledovat svůj pokrok a dosažené výsledky. Dalšími součástmi DVD-ROM jsou: - plnohodnotný videoprogram ve vysoké kvalitě pro celoobrazovkový režim, je tedy vhodný i pro projekci v učebně - nahrávky k učebnici s možností sledovat text - nahrávky ve formátu mp3 pro použití v mp3 přehrávači - upravitelné vzory obchodní korespondence a dokumentů - business dilemmas - úkoly, kde studenti využívají znalost cizího jazyka a současně si ověřují schopnost jeho uplatnění v simulované reálné situaci.Lineární i modulárníUčebnici lze používat lineárně (probírat lekce v pořadí, v jakém jsou v učebnici) nebo modulárně.
