Be With: Letters to a Carer
by Mike BarnesPoet Mike Barnes has spent years caring for his mother, Mary, through the stages of moderate, severe, very severe and late-stage Alzheimer’s. In an eloquent series of letters, addressed to an anonymous long-term dementia carer, he transforms his own increasingly challenging experience into a wellspring of clarity and understanding, support and solace.This is no ordinary practical care guide. Using bite-sized paragraphs perfectly designed for harried carers to dip into, Barnes tells a compelling personal story that unfolds a side of dementia almost entirely missing from public discussion:‘All people with dementia, and some of them strikingly, show depths of sensitive awareness, resilience rising to heroism, and a capacity for joyful relatedness.’Calming and contemplative yet fiercely alive, this consoling, humane and surprisingly uplifting book balances candour about the devastations of dementia with inspiring insights into its paradoxical and often uncanny enhancements of life, the ways in which it sometimes calls forth capacities long-buried by the defences of full cognition.Addressed to carers but relevant and deeply important for us all, Be With encourages us to focus on fellowship and accurate witness: to simply be with who, and what, is actually before us.
Astrology and Reformation
by Robin B. BarnesWinner of the 2016 Roland H. Bainton Book Prize of the Sixteenth Century Society and Conference During the sixteenth century, no part of the Christian West saw the development of a more powerful and pervasive astrological culture than the very home of the Reformation movement--the Protestant towns of the Holy Roman Empire. While most modern approaches to the religious and social reforms of that age give scant attention to cosmological preoccupations, Robin Barnes argues that astrological concepts and imagery played a key role in preparing the ground for the evangelical movement sparked by Martin Luther in the 1520s, as well as in shaping the distinctive characteristics of German evangelical culture over the following century. Spreading above all through cheap printed almanacs and prognostications, popular astrology functioned in paradoxical ways. It contributed to an enlarged and abstracted sense of the divine that led away from clericalism, sacramentalism, and the cult of the saints; at the same time, it sought to ground people more squarely in practical matters of daily life. The art gained unprecedented sanction from Luther's closest associate, Philipp Melanchthon, whose teachings influenced generations of preachers, physicians, schoolmasters, and literate layfolk. But the apocalyptic astrology that came to prevail among evangelicals involved a perpetuation, even a strengthening, of ties between faith and cosmology, which played out in beliefs about nature and natural signs that would later appear as rank superstitions. Not until the early seventeenth century did Luther's heirs experience a "crisis of piety" that forced preachers and stargazers to part ways. Astrology and Reformation illuminates an early modern outlook that was both practical and prophetic; a world that was neither traditionally enchanted nor rationally disenchanted, but quite different from the medieval world of perception it had displaced.

The End of Food Allergy: The New Science of Reintroduction and Reversal to Take the Fear Out of Food
by Sloan Barnett Kari NadeauThe revolutionary, research-based programme for preventing, diagnosing and reversing food allergies The problem of food allergy is exploding around us: an estimated 2 million people are living with a diagnosed food allergy in the UK alone. This book offers the first glimpse of hope with a powerful message: you can work with your family and your doctor to eliminate your food allergy forever. Drawing on her trailblazing research at Stanford University and work with thousands of children with allergies, Dr Kari Nadeau reveals that food allergy is not a life sentence because the immune system can be retrained. Food allergies – from mild hives to life-threatening airway constriction – can be disrupted, slowed and stopped. The key is a strategy called immunotherapy (IT), the controlled, gradual reintroduction of an allergen into the body. Fully anglicised for UK readers, The End of Food Allergy makes Dr Nadeau's life-changing research accessible for parents, carers and professionals alike. Together with co-author New York Times bestselling author Sloan Barnett – herself a mother of two children with food allergies – she walks readers through every aspect of food allergy, offering a clear, supportive plan that readers can work with alongside a health care professional to break free from any kind of food allergy. Includes: · What to do, learn and ask following a food allergy diagnosis – and how to find the right treatment· The science behind immunotherapy and early introduction · How to gradually reintroduce foods not working for you and your family · Advice on what to eat during pregnancy to help your baby avoid developing food allergies· How to cope with the emotional toll of living with food allergy and eliminate all fearsClear, comprehensive and reassuring, The End of Food Allergy offers a life-changing, research-based programme to take the fear out of food and end food allergies in children and adults alike.
