Foods that are less commonly consumed but are important in the diets of sub-groups of the population are also included.

Values for specific nutrients, including sodium, sugars, saturated and trans fatty acids in processed foods have been updated to reflect changes resulting from health policy and recent industry initiatives on reformulations. AOAC fibre values have been included for a wide range of foods to enable energy calculations, including fibre for food labelling purposes.

“Who better to raise teens’ awareness of mental illness and health than the YA authors they admire?” —Booklist (starred review) “[A] much-needed, enlightening book.” —School Library Journal (starred review) Your favorite YA authors including Ellen Hopkins, Maureen Johnson, and more recount their own experiences with mental health in this raw, real, and powerful collection of essays that explores everything from ADD to PTSD.Have you ever felt like you just couldn’t get out of bed? Not the occasional morning, but every day? Do you find yourself listening to a voice in your head that says “you’re not good enough,” “not good looking enough,” “not thin enough,” or “not smart enough”? Have you ever found yourself unable to do homework or pay attention in class unless everything is “just so” on your desk? Everyone has had days like that, but what if you have them every day? You’re not alone. Millions of people are going through similar things. However issues around mental health still tend to be treated as something shrouded in shame or discussed in whispers. It’s easier to have a broken bone—something tangible that can be “fixed”—than to have a mental illness, and easier to have a discussion about sex than it is to have one about mental health. Life Inside My Mind is an anthology of true-life events from writers of this generation, for this generation. These essays tackle everything from neurodiversity to addiction to OCD to PTSD and much more. The goals of this book range from providing a home to those who are feeling alone, awareness to those who are witnessing a friend or family member struggle, and to open the floodgates to conversation.

A farmhouse mysteriously goes up in flames with someone trapped inside and a community is never the same in the aftermath--both a page-turning whodunit and a deeply touching coming-of-age story by one of Sweden's top criminologists and "a rising star in Scandinavian crime fiction" (Kirkus Reviews) "The quintessential crime novel--I can't recommend it highly enough."--Angie Kim, author of Happiness Falls "Carlsson is the finest crime writer we have in Sweden."--David Lagercrantz, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Girl in the Spider's Web and other novels in Stieg Larsson's Millennium series On a cold November night, a farmhouse burns to the ground. Inside a young woman is found dead--not from the fire but murdered. To the people in the rural community of Marb ck, this becomes a reference point: a before and after. For ten-year-old Isak Nyqvist, it sets in motion something he cannot control, igniting his future into an unpredictable inferno. The police focus their attention on Edvard Christensson, the boyfriend of the murdered woman and Isak's beloved uncle. After a quick investigation, Edvard is found guilty and sentenced to life in prison and Marb ck believes it can return to its innocence. Vidar J rgensson, the rookie officer who first responded to the fire, prides himself on helping solved the murder. Little does he know this will become the defining case of his career and that it will drive him to the brink of professional and personal disaster--and link his fate to young Isak's. A celebrated author and professor of criminology, Christoffer Carlsson digs deep into the psyches of ordinary people and shows how one crime can haunt a community for decades. A #1 international bestseller, Under the Storm is already a modern classic of Scandinavian crime fiction and demonstrates why many regard Carlsson as one of the great crime writers of his generation.

Ligeti, Kurtag, and Hungarian Music during the Cold War

Ligeti, Kurtag, and Hungarian Music during the Cold War

Rachel Beckles Willson

Cambridge University Press
2007
sidottu
Drawing on key elements from musical thought in inter-war Hungary, this 2007 book provides a unique perspective on the nation's musical heritage both inside and outside Hungary's borders during the Cold War. Although Ligeti became part of the Western avant-garde after he left Hungary in 1956, archival sources illuminate his ongoing contact with Hungarian musicians, and their shifting perspective on his work. Kurtag's music was more obviously involved with Hungarian traditions, was entangled with the Soviet occupation, and was a contributing part of the city's diverse musical culture. However, from the mid-1960s onwards, critics identified his music as an artistic and moral 'truth' distinct from the broader musical life of Budapest: it was an idealized symbol of life beyond the everyday in Hungary. Grounding her interpretations of works in these complex political circumstances, Beckles Willson is nonetheless sympathetic to arguments by Ligeti, Kurtag and Budapest music critics that their music might have a life beyond nationalist and Cold War ideology.

Orientalism and Musical Mission

Orientalism and Musical Mission

Rachel Beckles Willson

Cambridge University Press
2013
sidottu
Orientalism and Musical Mission presents a new way of understanding music's connections with imperialism, drawing on new archive sources and interviews and using the lens of 'mission'. Rachel Beckles Willson demonstrates how institutions such as churches, schools, radio stations and governments, influenced by missions from Europe and North America since the mid-nineteenth century, have consistently claimed that music provides a way of understanding and reforming Arab civilians in Palestine. Beckles Willson discusses the phenomenon not only in religious and developmental aid circles where it has had strong currency, but also in broader political contexts. Plotting a historical trajectory from the late Ottoman and British Mandate eras to the present time, the book sheds new light on relations between Europe, the USA and the Palestinians, and creates space for a neglected Palestinian music history.

The Karen Horney Progressions

The Karen Horney Progressions

Rachael Guynn Wilson

New Michigan Press
2026
nidottu
"I find myself reminded, reading these poems, of Miles Davis, his minimalism and sure excellence (I once saw Miles play in Jerusalem, at the Sultan's Pool, 1987)-but that sounds too hyperbolic, even for a blurb."-SPARROW "Sharp writing that is both moving and delightfully lowbrow. Wilson's poems are hilarious like an inside joke: you can't stop laughing and you can't explain why." -ALEXANDRA EGAN "The Karen Horney Progressions is an irresistible comic meditation on the disaster of embodiment. Rendered with delightful formal invention and in a restrained American vernacular, these poems of the barely there play themselves out to hilarious and moving effects. Wilson's Karen Horney is a heroine for our times: a Sisyphus on no particular mission who nevertheless finds herself the butt of an unstated metaphysical joke, perhaps the joke of human life itself." -JAMES LOOP
