The Corner Shop by Babita Sharma Pdf

A BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK 'Nuanced, human and engaging' Nikesh Shukla, Observer 'Full of life, characters, gossip and all the richness of the local community' Sir David Jason 'A delightful story of growing up "above the shop"' Nigel Slater, Observer 'Cleverly links her own memories of shop-bound life with the last 50 years of British history' Spectator 'I come from a hidden world: I am the daughter of shopkeepers. I've seen you on a Sunday morning, nipping out to get a pint of milk or to grab a newspaper. I came to know a lot about you; whether your politics leaned to the right or left, whether you were gay or straight, and whether you were plagued by cash-flow problems or had enough disposable income to indulge your penchant for Cadbury's Creme Eggs.' Babita Sharma was raised in a corner shop in Reading, and over the counter watched a changing world, from the clientele to the products to the politics of the day. Along with the skills to mop a floor perfectly and stack a shelf, she gained a unique insight into a shifting landscape - and an institution that, despite the creep of supermarkets, online shopping and delivery, has found a way to evolve and survive - and is now once again keeping us all going. From the general stores of the first half of the 20th century (one of which was run by the father of a certain Margaret Thatcher), to the reimagined corner shops run by immigrants from India, East Africa and Eastern Europe from the 60s to the noughties, the corner shop has shaped the way we shop, the way we eat, and the way we understand ourselves. WINNER OF THE BUSINESS BOOK AWARD FOR AN EXCEPTIONAL BOOK THAT PROMOTES DIVERSITY 'A triumph' Radio Times 'A compelling, full selection box of a story' Sanjeev Kohli 'One of the best books I've read on the immigrant experience in this country' Daily Mail 'I loved it cover to cover' Angela Clutton, author of The Vinegar Cupboard

Back to the Shops by Rachel Bowlby Pdf

What will become of the shops? More than ever, the high street appears to be under mortal threat, its shops boarded up as the sad 'bricks and mortar' survivals of a pre-online retail world. But behind the bleak appearance, there is more to see. Back to the Shops offers a set of short and surprising chapters, each one a window into a different shop type or mode of selling. Old shopping streets are seen from new angles; fast fashion shows up in eighteenth-century edits. Here are pedlars and pop-ups, mail order catalogues and mobile greengrocers' shops. Here too are food markets open till late on a Saturday night, and tiny subscription libraries tucked away at the back of the sweet shop. Over time, shops have occupied radically different places in cultural arguments and in our everyday lives. They are essential sources of daily provisions, but they are also the visible evidence of consuming excess. They are local community hubs and they are dreamlands of distraction. Shops are inherently spaces of imagination as well as of practicality. They belong with their own surrounding streets and town; they bring back the times and places of our lives. They linger in stories of all kinds, whether far-fetched or round the corner. From butcher to baker and from markets to motor vans—after reading this book, you will want to go back to the shops.

TALES OF BLESSEDLANDNIA by Akin Adewale Pdf

The book is a fiction; it deals with Legal, political, economic and social ills plaguing most developing countries that are still grappling with various developmental challenges. The book highlights and satirizes all these ills and challenges facing these countries and proffer solutions to some of them. There are some developing countries especially in Africa where there is failure of leadership. This fuels ethnic, religious and socials upheavals which lead to political instability and even wars. In some of these countries, there is corruption of monumental proportion which slows down economic development and this may eventually lead to other social problems such as poverty, chaos, anarchy etc. The book politely and humorously point out these problems and the way forward. Corruption is a global problem but the book also propounds a theory that corruption in large scale by a political leadership in any country may lead to economic problem that could cause extermination of the poor masses gradually through hunger, preventable and curable diseases and that such corruption should be treated as "massocide" and as crime against humanity by the UNO. The book also highlights the problem of unsuitability of some political arrangement of some developing countries that is also responsible for the political, social and economic problems plaguing them; and the need to have national dialogue to arrive at the best political arrangement which is indeed the foundation to build on. The outcome of such national dialogue should be implemented and use to draft a new constitution. The book humorously highlights the flight of integrity from some of these developing countries due to the bad example from leadership. When corruption is the order of the day and there is impunity in that no one is punished even when caught, it makes many people to join the bandwagon and hell is then let loose on the society. Some lawyers when well paid by corrupt officials; they would do all within their powers and explore legal loopholes and processes to either ensure that such cases drag to eternity in law courts or are never heard. Due to the legal procedure that presume an accused person innocent until convicted in law courts, the corrupt official going through trial in court would be free to pursue his/her political ambition, get elected into any political office and acquire more money to frustrate his/her trial in law court. This book highlights the foregoing too. The book highlights the social ills plaguing many developing countries which reduce most human beings to subsistence level and in such situation; higher human ideals are sacrificed on altar of expediency to survive. Even the zeal to work hard and excel wane in many people as the economic climate favours those with political powers and their cohorts; in such a situation everyone struggles to get to political power through any means. It becomes "a do or die" affair. The book will appeal to the public at large especially those who are interested in finding solutions to the problems affecting the developing countries.

Migration, Family and the Welfare State by Karen Fog Olwig,Birgitte Romme Larsen,Mikkel Rytter Pdf

Migration, Family and the Welfare State explores understandings and practices of integration in the Scandinavian welfare societies of Denmark, Norway and Sweden through a comprehensive range of detailed ethnographic studies. Chapters examine discourses, policies and programs of integration in the three receiving societies, studying how these are experienced by migrant and refugee families as they seek to realize the hopes and ambitions for a better life that led them to leave their country of origin. The three Scandinavian countries have had parallel histories as welfare societies receiving increasing numbers of migrants and refugees after World War II, and yet they have reacted in dissimilar ways to the presence of foreigners, with Denmark developing tough immigration policies and nationalist integration requirements, Sweden asserting itself as a relatively open country with an official multicultural policy, and Norway taking a middle position. The book analyses the impact of these differences and similarities on immigrants, refugees and their descendants across three intersecting themes: integration as a welfare state project; integration as political discourse and practice; and integration as immigrants’ and refugees’ quest for improvement and belonging. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies.

The Gold of the Sunbeams and Other Stories by Tito Rajarshi Mukhopadhyay Pdf

"Two miracles underlie this work: the author's age - he is seventeen years old - and the fact that he is severely autistic. Both aspects enrich the substance of his narrative. This talented young writer, defying the general perception that autistic people, imprisoned within themselves, are unable to communicate with the outside world, has been writing stories of poetic prose and literary eloquence since before he was eight." "Tito's stories range from beautiful to funny and touching. In the title story, the young protagonist, whose father has been imprisoned for gambling in the park, must assume overnight the mantle of responsibility for his family - which he does with great heroism - until that authority has to be returned to his father and new problems begin. In "The Showers," when a cyclone wreaks devastation in rural India, Tito imagines the survivor's plight, from the sorrow of losing their homes to the politics of rebuilding their lives. In "Broken Mirror," we learn the history of a room from a broken mirror that hangs on the wall, and which Tito imbues with emotions and memories. In "Grey, Apple Green, and White," he gives life and character to colors the way the French symbolist poet Rimbaud gave colors to vowels. The stories connect through a rich and complex imagery of smiles, dust motes, and margossa trees."--BOOK JACKET.

Precision Agriculture and Food Production by Charles J. McMillan Pdf

Around the world, the public faces a stark dilemma: food scarcity and food abundance, with food waste now reaching a trillion dollars a year. Rich countries have easy access to food products and can purchase a 300-gram chocolate bar for $4.00, yet a cocoa farmer in Africa earns less than $1 a day. This book provides a comprehensive study of the food production system, from farms and farming to the ultimate haute cuisine of the finest restaurants, and corporate business models, from commodity traders, food producers, and food retailers. Problems arise with the rising value of land and corporate strategies to minimize risk and seeking low-cost inputs, including the prices paid to farmers. For centuries, science and technology have played a role in all aspects of the ‘total system’. Together, they have improved plant yields, soil condition, animal health, and machine mechanization, including plant-based meat and dairy products. A new paradigm, precision agriculture, now beckons.

She lives on the east coast of England with her magnificent hubby, cooking him gourmet meals and crashing the car. So one day she decides to End It All. But-Dot BLOWS it!

Family Upheaval by Mikkel Rytter Pdf

Pakistani migrant families in Denmark find themselves in a specific ethno-national, post-9/11 environment where Muslim immigrants are subjected to processes of non-recognition, exclusion and securitization. This ethnographic study explores how, why, and at what costs notions of relatedness, identity, and belonging are being renegotiated within local families and transnational kinship networks. Each entry point concerns the destructive–productive constitution of family life, where neglected responsibilities, obligations, and trust lead not only to broken relationships, but also, and inevitably, to the innovative creation of new ones. By connecting the micro-politics of the migrant family with the macro-politics of the nation state and global conjunctures in general, the book argues that securitization and suspicion—launched in the name of “integration”—escalate internal community dynamics and processes of family upheaval in unpredicted ways.

Survey of Medieval Winchester by Derek Keene,Alexander R. Rumble Pdf

By the fourteenth century Winchester had lost its former eminence, but in trades, manufactures, and population, as well as by virtue of its administrative and ecclesiastical role, the city was still one of the major provincial centres in England. This Survey is based on a reconstruction of the histories of the houses, plots, gardens, and fields in the city and suburbs between c. 1300 and c. 1540, although in many instances both earlier and later periods are also covered. The reconstruction takes the form of a gazetteer (Part ii) of 1,128 histories of properties, together with accounts of 56 parish churches and the international fair of St. Giles, all illustrated by detailed maps. There is also a biographical register (Part iii) concerning more than 8,000 property-holders, most of whom lived in Winchester. This is the first time that it has been possible to piece together such a precise and detailed picture of both the topography and the inhabitants of a medieval town. Part i of the book contains a full discussion of the significance of this material and, in a manner relevant to an understanding of life in medieval towns in general, describes and defines such matters as the evolution of the physical environment, housing, land-tenure, property values, the parochial structure, the practice and organization of trades, and the ways in which the citizens of Winchester adapted to the declining status of their city.

Food and Public Health by Wendy Wills,Alizon Draper,Ulla Gustafsson Pdf

This book focuses on food policy, and its relationship to public health, as an increasingly important issue in today’s society. Contributors highlight the lack of global regulation in the food supply chain and explore the common tendency to leave regulation to markets and to individual consumer decisions. In a period where there is growing concern about the sustainability of contemporary food systems, this book considers the inadequate response made to issues of food waste where solutions in high income countries are dependent on lifestyle and consumer behaviour. It offers an insight in to the importance of people’s everyday lives in relation to policies on public health, food and sustainability. The text demonstrates the corrosive impact of social inequality, and the futility of identifying lower income consumers as flawed when aiming for food policies that seek to achieve improvements in public health. Factors such as technological developments, ecological concerns and international trade are also taken in to account. This book was originally published as a special issue of Critical Public Health.

A significant resource which will be valuable to researchers and scholars of the crime genre, as well as British literature, this book offers timely critical engagement with intersectionality and decolonisation and their representation in contemporary British crime fiction.
