ISBN: 9780813548913 / Angielski / Miękka / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In a world now filled with more people who are overweight than underweight, public health and medical perspectives paint obesity as a catastrophic epidemic that threatens to overwhelm health systems and undermine life expectancies globally.

Yet despite loud messages about the health and social costs of being obese, weight gain is a seemingly universal aspect of the modern human condition.

A Migration Experience to Bahir Dar Town
ISBN: 9783639186055 / Angielski / Miękka / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Prison Argot: A Sociolinguistic and Lexicographic Study
ISBN: 9780761820437 / Angielski / Twarda / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Prison society has always had its own unique language. With roots in codes and secret communications, it has evolved over many years, allowing criminals to communicate with each other privately. This language, called "argot" from the French argot a beggars' guild, criminal cant, and slang has significant meaning to inmates. Coded communication allows prisoners to define their relative status and rights, just as workers who were members of corporations and guilds had their own argot for the same purpose. Prison Argot is Gilbert L. Encinas' study of the different elements of prison language."

The book examines the role of food and eating in the maintainance and negotiation of a communitys boundaries.

Children Chasing Money
ISBN: 9783639269017 / Angielski / Miękka / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book explores the economic lives of children in rural Lombok, Indonesia. An anthropological perspective adds two important components to our understanding of children's work. Firstly, it illuminates, and thus questions, what are often seen as cultural universals by situating social practices in specific cultural and social contexts. Children's work in Lombok needs to be understood, initially, in terms of vernacular notions of 'children' and 'work'. Secondly, it explores children's work through their own accounts. It shows that the ideas, wants, and expectations children have about their...
