Book Description
In 2014, a French family of four decided to start living a "zero waste" lifestyle for a year, which made headlines and eventually led to a new career centered on their experience and approach: through downsizing, composting, recycling, eliminating, DIY, buying in bulk, resourcefulness, and rigorous self-discipline, they essentially managed to reduce their yearly household waste down to one small jar of miscellaneous items. This is their story, as told and drawn by the mother herself. Entertaining, educational, and as vitally topical as you can get!

Book Description
Robert Sharp was the schoolmaster of South Cave, a market village in East Riding, from 1804 until his death in 1843. The diary proper begins in 1826 and goes on almost without interruption until 1837, just prior to the accession of Queen Victoria. It therefore covers the period between the end of the Napoleonic Wars and the Victorian era - a period that included the passing of the Reform Act of 1832. The importance of the diary lies in its intimate portrayal of village life at this time. Robert Sharp, as an educated, literate man, was involved in almost every aspect of local life, so this record is exceptionally detailed. There are also many entries concerning more national and international matters, such as the burning of the Houses of Parliament (1834).

Book Description
How has the Jewish family changed over the course of the twentieth century? How has it remained the same? How do Jewish families see themselves--historically, socially, politically, and economically--and how would they like to be seen by others? This book, the fourteenth volume of Oxford's internationally acclaimed Studies in Contemporary Jewry series, presents a variety of perspectives on Jewish families coping with life and death in the twentieth century. The book is comprised of symposium papers, essays, and review articles of works published on such fundamental subjects as the Holocaust, antisemitism, genocide, history, literature, the arts, religion, education, Zionism, Israel, and the Middle East. Published annually by the Avraham Harman Institute of Contemporary Jewry at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the Studies in Contemporary Jewry series features current scholarship in the form of symposia, articles, and book reviews by distinguished experts of Jewish studies from colleges and universities across the globe. Each volume also includes a list of recent dissertations. Volume XIV: Coping with Life and Death: Jewish Families in the Twentieth Century will appeal to all students and scholars of the sociocultural history of the Jewish people, especially those interested in the nature of Jewish intermarriage and/or family life, the changing fate of the Orthodox Jewish family, the varied but widespread Americanization of the Jewish family, and similar concerns.
