MenoWars: Why menopause’s moment has gone horribly wrong, and how you can navigate your way through it
by Fiona ClarkFirst, we were told we all needed to have HRT to remain interesting for our husbands. Then, we were told it was going to give us cancer and put us in an early grave. Next, we were told HRT was safe and we had to take it, or we'd all end up with crippling brain fog, quitting our jobs and descending into dementia as the economy collapsed around us.On the other side of the fence are those who argue that menopause is natural, it doesn't need treating, and a cold-water swim could fix everything. No wonder we're more confused than ever. Why has this happened? What does the evidence say? MenoWars explains why menopause is such a political hot potato, taking into account the history of gender bias in health and health research, the void and how it's filled, and what the evidence actually says. It answers questions like:- will HRT prevent dementia?- what you can do help your brain?- will HRT prevent heart disease?- what you can do to help your heart? ...and much more. MenoWars explains the silent changes you can't see, and which need to be sorted, and why. Importantly, it not only shows why we're arguing, it outlines where the science is heading so we can live longer, better, healthier lives in perimenopause and throughout the decades we spend in post-menopause.

Granny Takes a Trip: High Fashion and High Times at the Wildest Rock 'n' Roll Boutique
by Paul GormanLavishly illustrated with never-before-seen photographs of the shop, its key players and - of course - the clothes.Granny Takes A Trip was more than just a shop and a fashion brand; it was the original rock and roll clothes boutique, the template for all that followed. What started as an odd retail venture/art installation in a depressed part of London known as World's End became an international byword for glam decadence in Manhattan and Hollywood, combining flamboyant style and all manner of countercultural activity to attract everyone from Pattie Boyd, Marianne Faithfull and Anita Pallenberg to Elton John, Jimi Hendrix, Miles Davis, Mick Jagger, Rod Stewart, the Beatles, and Lou Reed.Unfolding over a decade-and-a-half, this tumultuous story invokes a cast of often unique, sometimes entitled, unusually talented and troubled individuals on a collective mission to shake up austere, repressed, class-ridden Britain and white bread America. Some achieved this at great personal cost as darkness, addiction and tragedy stalked those behind the extraordinary shop facades.Much mythologised but never told, this cautionary tale has now found its definitive chronicler in celebrated cultural historian Paul Gorman who has had access to first-hand accounts from all the principal figures, as well as notes for a memoir and a much-treasured scrapbook by Freddie Hornik, the tailoring entrepreneur who survived the death marches of central Europe after WW2 to acquire Granny Takes A Trip in the late 60s and transform into an unparalleled pop cultural force.
Extractive Industry Indigenisation in Zimbabwe: Neoextractivism, Resource Nationalism and Uneven Development (Routledge Studies of the Extractive Industries and Sustainable Development)
by Kennedy MandunaThis book explains how and why Zimbabwe’s extractive industry Indigenisation over-promised its benefits yet under-delivered upon implementation.This book traces the history of uneven development in Zimbabwe from the initial days of colonialism to the present, using the extractive industry as the unit of analysis to carve out a granular and empirical analysis of the preponderance of transnational corporate control and ownership in the country. Indigenisation of Zimbabwe’s extractive industries was intended to address mining inequalities by transferring wealth from rich non-Indigenous mining capital to disadvantaged Indigenous citizens and communities. This policy, however, was a response to political, economic, and social crises posed by the international isolation of Zimbabwe’s government following the controversial Fast Track Land Reform Programme in 2000–2003. An intervention, therefore, which promised to address inequalities has thus been hampered by corruption, co-optation, and collusion which has led to it not only failing to address uneven development, but in actual fact worsening the situation. By examining the hidden structures and infrastructures of power, capital, and minerals and placing extractive industry Indigenisation in capitalism, this book makes a crucial scholarly contribution to the renewed and burgeoning debates around the resurgence of resource nationalism in general and the struggle for economic sovereignty in particular. This book steers readers more broadly to look for new and diversified ways of empowering Indigenous populations and their communities through mining Indigenisation in ways that do not threaten economic and political stability.This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of the extractive industries, natural resource management, African politics, and African development.
From Clovis to Charlemagne: Frankish History and Historians (Variorum Collected Studies)
by Roger CollinsThis book is a collection of papers on Frankish historiography in the Merovingian and early Carolingian periods, from the late sixth to early ninth centuries, and studies numerous individual texts, evaluating their witness to the events they describe. It also includes hitherto unpublished items on the so-called Chronicle of Fredegar, in both its original and eighth-century versions, and also an entirely new article on the Merovingian dynastic crisis of 613, along with a general introduction and a bibliography of its author’s writing.Particular attention is focused on the element of deception, deliberate or otherwise, in the narrative accounts of some of the Frankish histories and chronicles and on the way they were written in order to promote specific interpretations of certain individuals and events, or in some cases to conceal their very existence. Certain central episodes such as the imperial coronation of Charlemagne are examined to detect the ways in which they were interpreted and presented in contemporary texts.From Clovis to Charlemagne: Frankish History and Historians will appeal to academics and students interested in the history of early medieval France, the processes of historical composition in that period, the study of manuscripts relating to it and the wider questions about historical understanding and the interpretation of evidence.

Development Discourse and Global History: From Colonialism to the Sustainable Development Goals (Routledge Explorations in Development Studies)
by Aram ZiaiDevelopment Discourse and Global History introduces readers to the shifting ways in which people have been talking and writing about ‘development’ over time, and the rules governing the conversation.Drawing on the methods of Michel Foucault, Ziai’s ground-breaking book traces the origins of development discourse back to late colonialism and notes the significant discontinuities that led to the establishment of a new discourse and its accompanying industry. This book goes on to describe the contestations, appropriations and transformations of the concept over time. It shows that trends which have emerged since the 1980s, such as an emphasis on participation and ownership, sustainable development, and free markets, are incompatible with the original rules and so lead to serious contradictions. The Eurocentric, authoritarian and depoliticising elements in development discourse are uncovered, whilst still recognising its progressive appropriations. This new edition includes revisions throughout, and an important new chapter on race and racism, as well as a discussion of the evolution of the Sustainable Development Goals.This book is perfect for students and researchers in development studies, global history and discourse analysis as well as an interdisciplinary audience from international relations, political science, sociology, geography, anthropology, language and literary studies.

Reimagining Social Justice Scholarship: Creative Decolonial Feminisms in South Africa and Beyond (Routledge Advances in Feminist Studies and Intersectionality)
by Floretta Boonzaier Tamara Shefer Carmine RustinShowcasing creative decolonial feminist and critical social justice scholarship, located in a South African context, this book works across modalities and disciplines, and within art and activism, to challenge hegemonic and oppressive forms of gender and sexuality. In the wake of decolonial activism in higher education and civil society since 2015 and the larger struggle for equality and justice, Shefer, Rustin, Boonzaier and their contributors draw primarily from the work of local research and pedagogical projects directed at alternative imaginaries of gender and sexual justice, with global import.Increasingly scholars are engaging in collaborative, dialogical and creative work that foregrounds performance, art, music, crafts, literature, as well as embodied, affective and relational engagements in the making of knowledge. This book shares some of these diverse counter-hegemonic pedagogies and research approaches that bring an intersectional and decolonial feminist lens to contemporary efforts to decolonise higher education and larger civil society.Producing lines of thought and sharing praxis that destabilises, disrupts and opens up new possibilities for justice scholarship, the book provides a space for going beyond critical reflexivity in research and practice related to gender and sexual inequalities. It seeks to make a scholarly intervention founded on rethinking its own grounds through collaborations with knowledges often deployed by those outside the authoritative, “expert” domains of academia, aligning it with feminist and decolonial aims. This book is a valuable resource for students and scholars of gender, sexuality and intersectionality, particularly those with a focus on the global South.
