Moederteit
Over de metamorfose van zwangerschap, geboorte en moederschap‘Een belangrijk, herkenbaar, veelzijdig en ontluisterend boek. Een aanrader voor moeders, artsen, beleidsmakers en verloskundigen.’ – Katinka Polderman Behalve de puberteit is er geen periode in het leven die zulke dramatische veranderingen met zich meebrengt als de zwangerschap, de bevalling en het prille moederschap. Toch is er voor deze metamorfose weinig aandacht, zowel in de wetenschap als in onze maatschappij. Sterker nog, spreken over moederschap als iets anders dan een rooskleurige droom is nog steeds grotendeels taboe. In dit baanbrekende en persoonlijke onderzoek brengt wetenschapsjournaliste Lucy Jones het concept van matrescentie, oftewel moederteit, aan het licht. Zo blijken de veranderingen in de hersenen en de rest van het lichaam van de moeder veel diepgaander, heviger en langduriger te zijn dan we dachten. Structureel gebrek aan interesse en diepgewortelde economische en sociale constructies rondom vrouwen en het gezin hebben volgens Jones geleid tot een voor moeders onhoudbare situatie. Dit boek is een oproep om ons begrip van het moederschap te verdiepen en om toekomstige ouders een betere ervaring te geven. Lucy Jones is schrijfster en wetenschapsjournaliste en woont in Hampshire, Engeland. Ze werkte eerder bij pop- en cultuurwebsite NME en The Daily Telegraph. Haar artikelen over cultuur, wetenschap en natuur zijn gepubliceerd in BBC Wildlife, The Sunday Times, The Guardian en The New Statesman.

They Came to the Holy Land
A multifaceted cultural history of pilgrimage and travel to the Holy Land from the Middle Ages to the dawn of the twentieth centuryFor countless pilgrims throughout history, the Holy Land was a destination unlike any other. Traveling there could free you of your sins, get you knighted or offer hope of being cured of illness. Above all, it brought you closer to the mystery surrounding places laden with religious meaning. But for Christians in particular, the journey was often very different from what they expected and the gap between expectation and reality plunged more than a few into deep crisis. They Came to the Holy Land tells the remarkable stories of those who undertook this taxing and often dangerous trip to Palestine.Drawing on travel writings spanning the medieval era to the end of the Ottoman Empire, many newly translated and presented in English for the first time, Bernd Brunner reveals how the Holy Land was a place of both fulfillment and disappointment for Jews, Muslims and Christians who were drawn there by religious fervour, the thirst for knowledge or misinformation. We meet a host of fascinating characters, from German Templars and American missionaries to Zionist visionaries, Indigenous dragomans, scientists, aristocrats and pilgrims journeying alone. What they all had in common was a destination whose peoples, cultures and arid landscape often proved a source of profound disillusionment.Historically insightful and richly told, They Came to the Holy Land brings to life the experiences of swashbucklers, true believers and border crossers of every kind, offering a vivid portrait of how the Holy Land was imagined, misunderstood and rediscovered over the centuries.

Matrescence
A NEW YORKER BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR - An important, moving, passionate and passionately written inquiry--personal and scientific--into what happens--mentally, spiritually, physically, during the process of becoming a mother, from pregnancy and childbirth to early motherhood and what this profound process tells us about the way we live now. "Wide-ranging and hugely ambitious...Marshalling memoir, science, sociology, and history, Jones argues that, outside of adolescence, there is no transformation as dramatic in a human's life [as motherhood], in both its emotional and biological impacts." --The New Yorker In this important and ground-breaking, deeply personal investigation, Jones writes of the emerging concept of "matrescence" - the wholeness of becoming a mother. Drawing on her own experiences of twice becoming a mother, as well as exploring the latest research in the fields of neuroscience and evolutionary biology; psychoanalysis and existential therapy; sociology, economics and ecology, Jones writes of the physical and emotional changes in the maternal mind, body, and spirit and shows us how these changes are far more profound, wild, and enduring than have been previously explored or written about. Part memoir, part scientific and health reporting, part social critique, ecological philosophy, eco-feminism and nature writing, Matrescence is a kind of whodunnit, ferreting out with the most nuanced, searing and honest observations, why mothers throughout this heightened transition are at a breaking point, and what the institution of intensive, isolated motherhood can tell us about our still-dominant social and cultural myths.

La specie solitaria. Perché abbiamo bisogno della natura
Perché negli ultimi anni si è registrata un'esplosione di allergie e intolleranze causate da condizioni infiammatorie croniche? E come mai tra i bambini e gli adolescenti sono sempre più diffusi i deficit di attenzione e le sindromi da iperattività, per non parlare dei dati allarmanti che molti paesi fanno registrare su obesità e disturbi mentali? Secondo Lucy Jones, la risposta è sempre la stessa: viviamo gran parte delle nostre vite in luoghi chiusi, connessi a dispositivi elettronici e separati - spesso terrorizzati - dal mondo naturale, e questa "estinzione dell'esperienza" sta provocando ogni genere di problemi. Come se non bastasse, questo quadro è aggravato dagli impatti sempre più feroci dei cambiamenti climatici e della distruzione della biodiversità, che dalle foreste dell'Amazzonia al parco sotto casa ci stanno privando della possibilità di godere dei benefici del contatto con il vivente. Intrecciando autobiografia - il racconto della depressione, l'esperienza della maternità - interviste, intuizioni poetiche e analisi della letteratura scientifica più aggiornata, La specie solitaria analizza le relazioni tra il mondo naturale e la nostra psiche e i nostri corpi, e dimostra perché il contatto con la natura è fondamentale per il nostro benessere fisico e mentale. Le soluzioni per recuperare e rinsaldare questo legame profondo ci sono, e vanno adottate con urgenza proprio a partire dalle città, dove già si concentra metà della popolazione globale. Ecco allora il racconto delle città "giardino", delle esperienze di giardinaggio comunitario, delle iniziative di rigenerazione dei parchi pubblici e delle scuole nel verde: tutti correttivi indispensabili in un'epoca che, secondo l'autrice, è sempre più marcata dalla "solastalgia", quel sentimento di nostalgia per i luoghi in cui continuiamo a vivere ma che vediamo trasformarsi davanti ai nostri occhi a causa dell'azione incessante delle attività umane.

Matrescenza. Gravidanza, parto, maternità: essere donna, diventare madre
'La gravidanza, poi il parto, e - soprattutto - il primo periodo della maternità semplicemente non combaciavano con gli insegnamenti ricevuti; non riuscivo a ricollegare la mia esperienza personale alle nozioni che avevo assimilato riguardo a corpo, mente, individuo e io relazionale, e alle nostre strutture di vita collettive. All'inizio credevo di essere impazzita. Cercavo disperatamente di comprendere che cosa mi stesse succedendo. Poi ho cominciato a capire che la mia mente era stata colonizzata da idee inadeguate sull'essere donna, sulla maternità, sul valore e persino sull'amore. Avvertivo un cambiamento inquietante. Sprizzavo di felicità perché ero incinta, e una creatura cresceva dentro di me, ma con il passare delle settimane mi accorgevo di essere più sommessa, più introversa, sempre più confusionaria. Era come se qualcuno si fosse trasferito dentro di me, avesse messo casa nel mio utero e nel mio cervello. Di certo era solo frutto della mia immaginazione, pensavo; credevo che la gravidanza fosse un processo fisico relativamente lineare, con qualche giornata 'ormonale' qua e là. Pensavo che il bambino sarebbe cresciuto dentro di me, come in un vaso di fiori, e io sarei rimasta la stessa di sempre. Ma le cose non stavano così. Scoprire la matrescenza mi ha dato il coraggio di parlare apertamente con altre madri, e ho scoperto che molte erano colte alla sprovvista dall'esperienza quanto me. Molte credevano che le difficoltà fossero colpa loro'. Attingendo a vari ambiti di ricerca - neuroscienze e biologia evolutiva, psicoanalisi e terapia esistenziale, sociologia, economia ed ecologia - Lucy Jones racconta in prima persona la sua esperienza di questo periodo di trasformazione, paragonabile quanto a complessità solo all'adolescenza.

LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION - From the acclaimed author of Losing Eden ("Powerful, beautifully written"--Anthony Doerr) an important, moving, passionate and passionately written inquiry--personal and scientific--into what happens--mentally, spiritually, physically, during the process of becoming a mother, from pregnancy and childbirth to early motherhood and what this profound process tells us about the way we live now. "I read your book, or more accurately devoured it! Loved it . . . It will be the new classic text in Motherhood Studies." -Andrea O'Reilly, founder, Motherhood Studies "The best book I've ever read about motherhood. Matrescence is essential reading, bloody and alive, roaring and ready to change conversations." -Jude Rogers, The Observer (UK) In this important and ground-breaking, deeply personal investigation, Jones writes of the emerging concept of "matrescence" - the wholeness of becoming a mother. Drawing on her own experiences of twice becoming a mother, as well as exploring the latest research in the fields of neuroscience and evolutionary biology; psychoanalysis and existential therapy; sociology, economics and ecology, Jones writes of the physical and emotional changes in the maternal mind, body, and spirit and shows us how these changes are far more profound, wild, and enduring than have been previously explored or written about.

"Jones seems to come as close as it's possible to describing this indescribable moment in a woman's life." -Joanna Pocock, The Spectator (UK)

I Have No Regrets - Diaries, 1955-1963
Frank and refreshing, Brigitte Reimann's collected diaries provide a candid account of life in socialist Germany. With an upbeat tempo and amusing tone, I Have No Regrets contains detailed accounts of the author's love affairs, daily life, writing, and reflections. Like the heroines in her stories, Reimann was impetuous and outspoken, addressing issues and sensibilities otherwise repressed in the era of the German Democratic Republic. She followed the state's call for artists to leave their ivory towers and engage with the people, moving to the new town of Hoyerswerda to work part-time at a nearby industrial plant and run writing classes for the workers. Her diaries and letters provide a fascinating parallel to her fictional writing. By turns shocking, passionate, unflinching, and bitter--but above all life-affirming--they offer an unparalleled insight into what life was like during the first decades of the GDR.

Perdiendo el Edén : por qué necesitamos estar en contacto con la naturaleza
Un recorrido apasionante por los nuevos descubrimientos científicos que nos permitirán reparar nuestra relación disfuncional con la naturaleza.Hoy, más que nunca, vivimos confinados en espacios interiores. Según las estadísticas, pasamos hasta un 90 por ciento de nuestra vida entre cuatro paredes, totalmente desconectados de la naturaleza. No obstante, esta sigue estando profundamente enraizada en nuestro lenguaje, nuestras tradiciones y nuestra conciencia. Durante siglos, las sociedades se han guiado por la intuición de que vivir en armonía con el entorno es fundamental para el ser humano. En pleno siglo XXI, coincidiendo con nuestro alejamiento de la naturaleza, ha empezado a emerger un fascinante campo de investigación científica que confirma esta intuición ancestral y demuestra la importancia del contacto con la naturaleza para nuestro bienestar psicológico o el desarrollo de nuestras facultades cognitivas y afectivas.Lucy Jones nos abre las puertas de la vanguardia de la biología humana, la neurociencia y la psicología, y descubre nuevas formas de entender (y reparar) nuestra relación disfuncional con la naturaleza. A caballo entre la investigación periodística y la confesión autobiográfica, la autora emprende un viaje apasionante desde las escuelas forestales del este de Londres hasta el Svalbard Global Seed Vault, pasando por bosques primitivos, los laboratorios más punteros de California y el sofá de algún que otro ecoterapeuta.

Desastres : como las grandes catástrofes moldean nuestra historia
Los terremotos, inundaciones, tsunamis, huracanes, volcanes provienen de las mismas fuerzas que dan vida a nuestro planeta. Los terremotos nos dan manantiales naturales; los volcanes producen suelos fértiles. Solo cuando estas fuerzas exceden nuestra capacidad de resistirlas se convierten en desastres. Juntas han moldeado nuestras ciudades y su arquitectura; han aupado líderes y derrocado Gobiernos; han influído en la forma en que pensamos, sentimos, luchamos, nos unimos o rezamos. La historia de los desastres naturales es nuestra propia historia. Jones ofrece una mirada vigorizante a algunos de los desastres naturales más importantes del mundo, cuyas reverberaciones seguimos sintiendo hoy: desde la erupción volcánica en Pompeya en el siglo I d. C., hasta las inundaciones de California de 1862, el tsunami del océano Índico de 2004 o los huracanes estadounidenses de 2017. Con el crecimiento de la población en regiones peligrosas y el aumento de las temperaturas en todo el mundo, los impactos de los desastres naturales son mayores que nunca. Los peligros naturales son inevitables, pero las catástrofes humanas no lo son.

A Working Herbal Dispensary
A beautifully illustrated guide on how to understand and engage with medicinal herbs. In her fascinating second book, full time medical herbalist, Lucy Jones, shares the characters and medicinal virtues of 108 herbs that she works with in her practice. She writes about each herb as an individual that she knows and respects, rather than simply a list of conditions it treats or the constituents it contains. Lucy gives the physiological actions, energetic qualities, and emotional resonances as well as qualities according to Tibetan Medicine, where they apply. She also includes historical views, magical associations, and plenty of recipes for the home herbal apothecary. A Working Herbal Dispensary sheds light on the way that Lucy prescribes her herbs, with an emphasis on treating dietary and lifestyle factors alongside herbs to treat the root cause of illness. There are numerous informal case studies to illustrate both the actions of the herbs and the special magic of truly holistic herbal prescribing. Beautifully illustrated throughout with colour photographs, A Working Herbal Dispensary is much more than your run of the mill herbal; it is an insight into a holistic practice where herbs and herbalist are working in partnership for the benefit of those that need help.

Losing Eden
"Why human beings have a powerful and fundamental need--mental, spiritual, and physical--for the natural world; the profound impact it has on our consciousness and ability to heal our soul and bring solace to the heart, and the new cutting-edge scientific evidence proving nature as nurturer. In Losing Eden, Lucy Jones interweaves her deeply personal story of recovery from addiction and depression, with that of discovering the natural world and how it aided and enlivened her progress, giving her a renewed sense of belonging and purpose. Jones writes of the intersection of science, wellness, and the environment, and reveals that in the last decade, scientists have begun to formulate theories of why people feel better after a walk in the woods and an experience with the natural world. She describes the recent data that supports evidence of biological and neurological responses--the lowering of cortisol (released in response to stress), the boost in cortical attention control that helps us to concentrate and subdues mental fatigue, and the increase in activity in the parasympathetic nervous system, slowing the heart and allowing our body to rest"--
