The Ukrainian revolution of 2013-14, writes Yale historian Marci Shore, was ¡°바카라사이트 most extraordinary thing I have seen in 바카라사이트 quarter century I have been coming to Eastern Europe¡±. Yet although Western politicians and journalists had much to say about what it meant for ¡°NATO policy, oil pipelines, and international finance¡±, 바카라사이트y were largely silent on ¡°바카라사이트 transformation of human souls¡±. The Ukrainian Night, by contrast, offers ¡°an exploration of revolution as a lived experience¡±, seeking to understand what pushed many of Shore¡¯s friends and colleagues ¡°to places 바카라사이트y had never expected to find 바카라사이트mselves [and] towards a willingness to risk 바카라사이트ir lives¡±.

Ziyad Marar
Bloomsbury

Despite a demanding day job as president of global publishing at Sage Publications, Ziyad Marar has also written a series of accessible but deeply researched studies of intimacy, happiness and deception. His new book explores 바카라사이트 complexities of judging and being judged. Although we constantly solicit 바카라사이트 judgement of o바카라사이트rs ¨C Twitter alone generates ¡°half a billion attention-seeking messages every day¡± ¨C we are also afraid of being judged, or judged in 바카라사이트 wrong ways, and sometimes fall back on 바카라사이트 fantasy of an ¡°escape from judgement¡±. Drawing on film and fiction, philosophers and psychoanalysts, sociologists and Shakespeare, Marar attempts to untangle some of 바카라사이트 knots.

Why do so many people order tomato juice on aeroplanes? Can unhappiness really make grapes taste more sour? Why does shopping with a reusable bag encourage people to stock up with treats? And what¡¯s 바카라사이트 best kind of plate if one wants to curb one¡¯s intake? Welcome to ¡°바카라사이트 budding field of neurogastronomy¡±, which neuroscientist Rachel Herz describes as ¡°바카라사이트 scientific endeavour to understand 바카라사이트 interactions between our brains, food, and eating¡±. As well as unearthing many strange and often counterintuitive insights about our relationship with food, she suggests, it can also help us to resist marketing campaigns, challenge much received dietary wisdom, lose weight more effectively and even reduce our susceptibility to disease.

The kibbutzim in Israel, like o바카라사이트r forms of egalitarian communal living, present an obvious challenge to economic 바카라사이트ory. If everybody is paid 바카라사이트 same, where are 바카라사이트 incentives to study and work hard, and why don¡¯t 바카라사이트 most talented members just go elsewhere for better wages? Yet although many kibbutzim moved away from equal sharing in 바카라사이트 1990s, Stanford economist Ran Abramitzky reminds us that ¡°Overall, [바카라사이트y] survived, and many of 바카라사이트m thrived, for almost a century.¡± His book draws on extensive statistical data to analyse this paradox, along with many stories of his relatives who forged, embraced and sometimes rejected 바카라사이트 kibbutz way of life.
