Muscovy

Francesca Wilson

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2023
sidottu
First Published 1970, Muscovy presents a lively and amusing selection of travellers’ tales from the most important of old and rare books. There is the journal of the Dutch sailor Struys, whose imbroglios with Cossacks and Tartars reads more like a picturesque novel than a seaman’s log. There are accounts by visitors long resident in Russia, who learned the language, made friends with people like Captain John Perry, engineer to Peter the Great, Dr Cook, physician to Prince Galitzin, Martha Wilmot, the Irish girl who helped Princess Dashkov to write her memoirs, Daniel Wheeler, the Quaker whom Alexander I invited to drain the marshes of St. Petersburg. Most of the travellers were baffled by the immense scale of Russia, some perplexed and amused by its different ways of life. They describe the Russian landscape and the Russian people: how they lived in their cities and their villages, what they ate and drank, how they built their homes, tilled their fields, how they worshipped, bore tyranny under which they lived, celebrated birth, marriage, and death. Although Miss Wilson’s account ends in 1900, her readers will recognize in the writings of the travellers’ sudden echoes and likenesses of Russia today. This is a must read for students of Russian history.

Uncanny Fairy Tales

Uncanny Fairy Tales

Francesca Arnavas

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2024
sidottu
There are fairy tales that surprise, destabilise, or even shock us: these are uncanny fairy tales that manipulate familiar stories in creative and bewildering ways in order to express new meanings. This work analyses these tales, basing its approach on a reformulation of Freud’s concept of the uncanny. Through a cognitive outlook the employed theoretical framework provides new perspectives on the study of experimental literary fairy tales. Considering English-language literature, complex and unsettling reinterpretations of the fairy-tale discourse began to appear during the Victorian Age, later resurfacing as a postmodern trend. This research individuates uncanny-related narrative techniques and cognitive responses as means to decodify and explore these tales, and as ways to discover unseen connections between Victorian and postmodern texts. The new theorisation of the uncanny is linked with three subconcepts: mirror, hybridity, and wonder, which function as tools to describe and investigate the cognitive and emotional entanglements characterising enigmatic and disorienting fairy tales.

The Road to Antioch and Jerusalem

The Road to Antioch and Jerusalem

Francesca Petrizzo

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2025
nidottu
This is the first translation of the Hystoria de via or ‘Monte Cassino Chronicle,’ one of the few surviving crusader sources from Southern Italy, where it was probably compiled (partly from known sources) between the 1130s and 1140s. The chronicle’s original sections offer new and fresh insight on the knowledge and reception of the First Crusade in Southern Italy, and the devotional and pilgrimage practices which surrounded it. The introduction contextualises the chronicle in the environment which produced it, discussing the historiographical tradition at Montecassino, the likely sources for the Hystoria, and its significance as an original source. The introduction also comments extensively on the theological framework of the Hystoria, which offers an intensely religious view of the crusade as pilgrimage, and insists particularly on the primacy of violence in its vision of Christian devotional practice, and the crusade as continuous movement through suffering for the pilgrims. The translation, which is both faithful to the text and highly readable, is accompanied by detailed references and a full commentary. The volume makes an important addition to the canon of crusader sources and provides a little-known example for specialists of the literature of pilgrimage in the Middle Ages.

Francesca Romana Cavallo; Christofer Toumazou

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2025
sidottu
This book explores how personalised healthcare can be realised with the integration of new and established technologies, and how novel methods can be developed to improve health outcomes in lifestyle-related conditions. Technologies for Personalised Healthcare: Enabling Patient-Centred Approaches in the Management and Prevention of Lifestyle-Related Conditions explores various aspects of personalised healthcare in the context of lifestyle-related conditions— from how statistics and machine learning can be used to extrapolate clinically useful stratifications from big data, to how adaptive AI can enable behaviour change; from how biosensors and point-of-care devices can bring diagnostics closer to the patient, to the ethical aspects of personalised medicine. The highly multidisciplinary nature of the book gives the reader a broad view of established and emerging technologies for personalised healthcare. It provides the technical background underpinning these technologies, while case studies present practical applications of the methods discussed. The content and worked examples found within this book can serve as a reference guide on the technologies and methods needed to tap into the endless opportunities to be realised within personalised healthcare. This book is intended for researchers and academics who want to know more about how they can apply computational methods and electronics within the field of personalised healthcare. It is also for those who are interested in the bridge between technology, engineering, and medicine.It is our hope that this book will serve as a catalyst for further innovation and collaboration in the pursuit of personalised healthcare solutions.

The European Union and Humanitarian Crises

The European Union and Humanitarian Crises

Francesca Pusterla

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2024
nidottu
Over the last few decades international organisations, national governments, and governmental and private actors have all multiplied their efforts to limit the extent to which natural catastrophes, man-made atrocities and political and economic breakdowns affect civil populations. The European Union and Humanitarian Crises: Patterns of Intervention addresses the allocation of foreign aid within the framework of the European Union’s Humanitarian Aid policy and analyses different Member States’ intervention strategies designed to cope with these emergencies. Joining the debate about bilateral and multilateral allocation of foreign aid in crisis situations and exploring the cooperative actions undertaken by the European Union and its Member States to cope with them the book questions how the context of the crises themselves impacts on strategies of intervention and investigates how strategies change depending on the characteristics of the crisis.

What would happen if you finally met your soul mate - but they were married to someone else?THE SWEEPING INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER 'Ambition, forbidden love and great longing... A magnificent storyteller' ADRIANA TRIGIANISalento, Italy, June 1934. A coach stops in the main square of Lizzanello, a tight-knit village where everyone knows each other. A couple gets off: The man, Carlo, a child of the South, is happy to be back home after a long time away; the woman, Anna his wife, is a stranger from the North. Carlo's brother is there to meet them, and he and everyone else can't help but notice that Anna is as beautiful as a Greek statue. But Anna is not like the other wives. She doesn't gossip or attend church. She reads books no one else has ever heard of. She even wears pants, just like a man, and thinks a woman should have rights just like a man. There aren't many options for a woman with Anna's sensibilities, so when she learns that the post office is hiring, she leaps at the opportunity. A female letter carrier? It is unthinkable. But Anna soon becomes the invisible thread connecting the town as she delivers letters between clandestine lovers, families waiting to hear news of loved ones away at war, even helping those who can't read. But for some in Lizzanello, letters come too little and too late. The seamstress, who was Carlo's first love, can't help but look at Anna as having taken her rightful place. Carlo's niece has put herself in a loveless marriage after an impetuous act of jealousy. And Carlo and his brother find themselves trying to cover up a recently unearthed surprise that could shatter all of their lives.'Transportive, poignant, lush... Giannone brings the sun-soaked vineyards of southern Italy to life. At the beating heart of it all is Anna, the rule-breaking, big-hearted letter carrier' JULIET GRAMES

It's only after the most bizarre train journey sitting next to an entitled-though infuriatingly handsome-stranger, that she realizes she probably should have taken a closer look at her contract.Now she has to spend the next six weeks babysitting the most famous man in the world, and hope that no lines get blurred.DannyDanny doesn't hate his career as an actor, but he definitely hates his father.

I made choices. Messy. Soul-shattering. Forbidden choices. The kind that could burn everything to the ground. From the outside, my life looks perfect. Devoted husband. Two beautiful kids. Even a perky ass at thirty-nine. But inside? I'm drowning. In silence, in guilt, in a version of myself I barely recognize. A pretty train wreck held together with smiles and lies. Then Dylan Hayes crashes into my world. Rugged. Addictive. Off-limits. He makes me feel alive. Wanted. Seen. One problem... I'm married. Now I have to choose between the life I built or risking it all for a man who isn't mine. Secrets unravel. Hearts shatter. No one walks away untouched. Because not every love story is a sunset. Some are wildfires. JINXED HEARTS isn't just about love or healing. It's raw. Bold. And every shade of grey. A story that dares you to question the life you're living... to tear it all apart... and to start again.

The Blessing in Disguise, Revealed: A story of how far faith can take you

Independently Published

There are all kinds of roads we go down in life, there are all kinds of choices we make that can change and alter our God giving purpose. I have learned it is what doesn't kill us, that makes us stronger; and that even when you turn your back on God, he is still there waiting on you. This is my story of hitting rock bottom, not once but twice; of surviving rape, of being in the depths of a drug and alcohol addiction and of losing too many loved ones. This journey has taken me through 24 years of being in a verbally abusive marriage and two suicide attempts to see I couldn't do this by myself. It's about turning to God because you have no one else to turn to and though you closed him out and you stopped talking, he never stopped listening. When you truly give your life over to him, even though your not worthy, even though your not perfect, he will change your life, he will bless you beyond measure. This book is about walking out on faith when I couldn't see through the darkness, yet somehow knowing God would take care of it, having "Crazy faith" like my Bishop taught us. It's about trusting that God has you, that he has bigger plans than even you could dream of.This is the story of how far faith can take you.
