Описание:
Eating the flesh of an Egyptian mummy prevents the plague. Distilled poppies reduce melancholy. A Turkish drink called coffee increases alertness. Tobacco cures cancer. Such beliefs circulated in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, an era when the term "drug" encompassed everything from herbs and spices—like nutmeg, cinnamon, and chamomile—to such deadly poisons as lead, mercury, and arsenic. In The Age of Intoxication, Benjamin Breen offers a window into a time when drugs were not yet separated into categories—illicit and licit, recreational and medicinal, modern and traditional—and there was no barrier between the drug dealer and the pharmacist.
Focusing on the Portuguese colonies in Brazil and Angola and on the imperial capital of Lisbon, Breen examines the process by which novel drugs were located, commodified, and consumed. He then turns his attention to the British Empire, arguing that it owed much of its success in this period to its usurpation of the Portuguese drug networks. From the sickly sweet tobacco that helped finance the Atlantic slave trade to the cannabis that an East Indies merchant sold to the natural philosopher Robert Hooke in one of the earliest European coffeehouses, Breen shows how drugs have been entangled with science and empire from the very beginning.
Featuring numerous illuminating anecdotes and a cast of characters that includes merchants, slaves, shamans, prophets, inquisitors, and alchemists, The Age of Intoxication rethinks a history of drugs and the early drug trade that has too often been framed as opposites—between medicinal and recreational, legal and illegal, good and evil. Breen argues that, in order to guide drug policy toward a fairer and more informed course, we first need to understand who and what set the global drug trade in motion.

Описание: Ceramics and the Museum interrogates the relationship between art-oriented ceramic practice and museum practice in Britain since 1970.Laura Breen examines the identity of ceramics as an art form, drawing on examples of work by artist-makers such as Edmund de Waal and Grayson Perry; addresses the impact of policy making on ceramic practice; traces the shift from object to project in ceramic practice and in the evolution of ceramic sculpture; explores how museums facilitated multisensory engagement with ceramic material and process, and analyses the exhibition as a text in itself. Proposing the notion that ‘gestures of showing,’ such as exhibitions and installation art, can be read as statements, she examines what they tell us about the identity of ceramics at particular moments in time. Highlighting the ways in which these gestures have constructed ceramics as a category of artistic practice, Breen argues that they reveal gaps between narrative and practice, which in turn can be used to deconstruct the art.

Описание:
Like the eponymous fungus that appears to be regurgitated by the Earth herself after rain, fragments of invented folklore and mongrel histories have stained through from Breen's subconscious and come to bloom as a trio of sequences that deal, in turn, with man's tampering with Nature's DNA through the selective breeding of dogs, societal fears of the witch figure, and the hopelessness of augury in the face of the inevitability of death.
There are also poems that touch on the animal-mood of man, the masks and headgear that we wear so as to try to interpret the nature of Nature, and our self-banishment from our own Eden arising out of our growing estrangement from it.

Your startup is your heart and soul. What happens when you have to walk away?
Hannah Paramore Breen started Paramore Digital in 2002 because "digital" was what she knew. The relationships she'd built over a lifetime and a career made her business possible. The lessons she learned from both her career and her family made it a success.

Written in the same engaging, fun, common-wisdom style as her Ambien Emails, Business Ownership will become a go-to source for inspiration, encouragement, and guidance as you grow and one day prepare to leave your business.
Start reading now to learn what it takes to exit gracefully.
From Hannah Paramore:
The question I've been asked most in the last three years is, "Why would you sell THAT business?" We were high-profile and successful by every measure, but I was miserable. Selling a business is hard, but deciding to sell the business is even harder. It is an emotional process caused by the painful journey of business ownership. I had a successful exit, but it could have been different if I'd done a few key things in the last five years that I owned it. This book explains my emotional journey and the key decisions I could have made that might have changed the outcome for me.
