Improve your wellbeing every day through the practice of astrology, and find guidance and inspiration through the symbolic movement of the celestial bodies. Astrology affects you every day, not just when it’s the season of your star sign (although this is your most powerful time to shine!). Divided into the 12 zodiac signs and detailing every major astrological event, follow the planets and zodiac signs as they shift throughout the year, and learn how to live your best life in every sign, from earthy Capricorn through to fiery Sagittarius season. With everything you need in one handy guide, this is a great resource, whether you’re a beginner, new to astrology, or are a practicing astrologer. Discover more about planetary movements such as mercury in retrograde, and explore what it means, how to use it to your advantage, and what to focus on. Allow this almanac to guide you as it tells you, based on the movement of the skies, when the optimal time is to manifest new beginnings, when to perform a ritual for money-making, and how to use astrology as a tool for self-care. With mantras, advice, and wellbeing tips for each of the zodiac signs, this guide to astrological self-care and living is perfect for every star sign. This book uses standardised GMT for planetary movements (with new and full moon information for five different time zones). Readers in other time zones may wish to double check if events fall on the previous or following date for them.
This book considers the close but sometimes contested relationship between Britain and Iberia in the period c.1770-1870. It begins by considering how British Enlightenment writers came to terms with the decline of Spain as a political and economic force following the Seven Years War. It then considers the great debates in Britain about Catholic emancipation, franchise reform, how the British historically understood themselves, issues of intervention or non-intervention in Europe, the emergence of history writing as a popular form of reading, an academic discipline and an extension of national identity. The discovery of Spanish art and the emergence of a debate in Victorian architecture about the use of the vernacular and craft techniques are also discussed, and consequently the book makes a significant addition to our understanding of Victorian taste and aesthetics. Spain was therefore something of a mirror in which the British saw themselves both reflected and perhaps distorted, and so we learn as much about the British as about the Spanish. A broad cultural history which is multi-disciplined in its approach and appeal, it will become essential reading for senior level undergraduates and postgraduates in Hispanic Studies departments.
This stimulating new book provides a sophisticated introduction to the key issues in the sociology of death and dying. In recent years, the social sciences have seen an upsurge of interest in death and dying. The fascination with death is reflected in popular media such as newspapers, television documentaries, films and soaps, and, moreover, in the multiplying range of professional roles associated with dying and death. Yet despite its ubiquitous significance, the majority of texts in the field have been written primarily for health professionals. This book breaks with that tradition. It provides a cutting edge, comprehensive discussion of the key topics in death and dying and in so doing demonstrates that the study of mortality is germane to all areas of sociology. The book is organised thematically, utilising empirical material from cross-national and cross-cultural perspectives. It carefully addresses questions about social attitudes to mortality, the social nature of death and dying, explanations for change and diversity in approaches, and traditional, modern and postmodern experiences of death. Death and Dying will appeal to students across the social sciences, as well as professionals whose work brings them into contact with dying or bereaved people.

This is the first major study of Cartimandua, queen of the Brigantes tribe in Northern Britain in the first century AD. Little is known about the tribal ruler, who fought off rebellion and civil war and managed to keep her lands when many other British leaders were forfeiting theirs in the aftermath of the Roman conquest of AD 43. Her story is one of power, intrigue, scandal and accusations of betrayal and yet surprisingly she is a figure who is often overlooked and marginalised in studies of British history.Using historical and archaeological sources, Nicki Howarth re-examines the story of a queen who ruled independently in such unsettled times, where a strong leader adapted to circumstance in order to survive. Indeed with Roman support she held her position as queen until AD 69, whilst managing to prosper in the new Imperial world that was reluctant to acknowledge her role.Written in an engaging style, with many references to popular culture, this book offers a unique insight into the life of this fascinating woman, the world in which she lived and the influences that shaped the turbulent events of her life.
