Do you know what it's like, when you hear a voice that suddenly and without warning betrays a trembling insecurity behind the self-assured mask, becoming raspy and hoarse, cracked, or blocked by a lump in the throat? Do you know what it's like, when a good friend only has to say "hi" on the phone, and you know immediately that something's wrong? Do you know those who-in certain situations-have to clear their throats constantly? The voice reveals the body's secrets-but it is also a tool with which we can resolve our obstacles. Everything we forget, our body remembers. And everything the body remembers is reflected in the voice. Our conscious mind reacts to words, but our emotions react to the voice. Words can lie, but the voice never lies. The voice closes the deal-or bungles it for us and therefore it can be of great help to be conscious about our own voice and the signals it reflects. The Power of the Voice offers you the tools to understand which kind of Voice Type you are, which advantages and disadvantages it gives you, and how to work with it. So, if you want to know more about the many possibilities of expression of your voice, or if you have trouble with speaking too loud, too low, too fast or if you mumble or get hoarse, which makes your communication insufficient, you will receive help in this book.
What is considered masculine is not something given and innate to males but determined by cultural ideas and ideals constructed through performative practices – today and in the past. This book questions whether androcentric archaeology has taught us anything about prehistoric men and their masculinities. Starting from broad discussions of feminist theory and critical men’s studies, this study examines how notions of masculinity are expressed in cremation burials from the Late Bronze Age to the end of the Roman Period (1100 BC - 400 AD) in Eastern Norway and Funen in Denmark. It is argued that notions of masculinity were deeply intertwined with society, and when central aspects like war systems, task differentiation, or technology changed, so did gender and ideas of masculinity and vice versa. In the Late Bronze Age, an idealisation and sexualisation of the male body related to warrior esthetic was probably essential to the performance of masculinity. In the Early Roman Period, masculinity became bounded by what it was not – the unmanly. Warrior capabilities were the most prominent ideals of masculinity and concepts of unmanliness structured society, highlighting divergences between men and women. In the Late Roman Period, society grew more complex and multiple contemporary, possibly complementary masculinities associated with the rising class of free peasants, specific roles and regional differences developed and the warrior lost the dominant position as masculine ideal.

When a country is held in thrall to a vicious, despotic king, it's up to one woman to take him down in this gorgeous literary fantasy debut from Lisbeth Campbell. Long ago, Queen Mirantha vanished. King Karolje claimed it was an assassination by a neighboring king, but everyone knew it was a lie. He had Disappeared her himself. But after finding the missing queen's diary, Anza--impassioned by her father's unjust execution and inspired by Mirantha's words--joins the resistance group to overthrow the king. When an encounter with Prince Esvar thrusts her into a dangerous game of court politics, one misstep could lead to a fate worse than death. Esvar is the second son to an evil king. Trapped under his thumb and desperate for a way out, a chance meeting with Anza gives him the opportunity to join the resistance. Together, they might have the leverage to move against the king--but if they fail, their deaths could mean a total loss of freedom for generations to follow. Set in a world where resistance is as dangerous as it is important, The Vanished Queen is a tale of the courage and sacrifice it requires to take on a tyrant.

«A brilliant, touching and thought-provoking book. Moving Along merges academic research with personal narrative and beautifully rendered drawings to create a one-of-a-kind book that contributes fresh and compelling perspectives. This life-affirming graphic novel is essential reading for anyone interested in Parkinson’s and the power of art and community to sustain and nurture the human spirit.» (David Leventhal, Program Director and Founding Teacher, Dance for PD®, Mark Morris Dance Group, Brooklyn, NY USA) «This is a wonderfully accessible book that has been co-created by people living with Parkinson’s, researchers and artists. In the true-to-life stories, the anxieties and challenges of living with Parkinson’s are explored in evocative cartoons. Yet , as well as talking about the challenges, the book has the joy of dancing at its heart. Dance has proved to be an exceptionally good catalyst for living well with Parkinson’s and this graphic novel illustrates individual journeys through Parkinson’s and into dance. For anyone curious about dancing who now lives with Parkinson’s, or knows someone who does, this book is for you. For anyone interested in graphic medicine, dance for wellbeing, or arts in healthcare, this book is an important addition to the literature. » (Professor Sara Houston, author of Dancing with Parkinson’s) Meet Hugo, Karen, Alma, Helene, Anne-Marie, Poul, Lone, and Eskild, who go to Parkinson’s dance class together. They are characters in this graphic novel, which is based on many stories about Parkinson’s. The stories come from participants in Parkinson’s dance who have talked about how dance involves bodily, aesthetic experiences, including the feeling of bubbles in their bodies and flying together. Dancing brings joy, energy, and community, and thereby strengthens the will to live, all important when a chronic illness turns your world upside down. This book, a co-produced research-based graphic novel, is designed for use in the fields of arts and health, medical humanities, graphic medicine, and narrative medicine. It is also written for people with Parkinson’s, or other chronic diseases, and their families. The book invites dialogue about the existential dimensions of chronic illness, especially Parkinson’s, and long-term caregiving.
Entrepreneurship has long been a way for women to create economic opportunities, especially in challenging environments. Women entrepreneurs are essential in transforming their communities and industries within the global circular economy. By challenging traditional models and addressing urgent issues like environmental sustainability, they are leading a transformative movement that seeks to foster a brighter and more sustainable future for all. In Women Entrepreneurs in the Circular Economy: Global Experiences, author Lisbeth Clausen presents ten compelling stories of women founders across seven different countries, from Japan to Colombia. Their experiences reveal the diverse ways these women navigate barriers in cultural attitudes, access to resources, and work-life balance. Clausen’s study is unique for its in-depth ethnographic approach, which includes a novel approach to collaborative immersive fieldwork, interviews, and local expertise. These detailed case studies provide a nuanced understanding of how business acumen, culture, and innovation intersect in the entrepreneurial journeys of these women. By richly exploring diverse cultural contexts and personal narratives, Clausen and her colleagues provide a powerful tool for understanding both the challenges and opportunities women face in the circular economy. This work is essential for anyone interested in culture and diversity studies, entrepreneurship, and sustainable business practices. It serves as a valuable resource for policymakers, educators, and students in higher education, as well as aspiring entrepreneurs seeking global insights.
