The rise of China and the resurgence of India will be the hallmark for the next 50 years.

Between 491 and 1191 AD, Cyprus was influenced by various political and cultural centres that vied for dominance in the Eastern Mediterranean. This collection of essays primarily focuses on the island's archaeology when it was governed by the Byzantine capital of Constantinople. Greek and Orthodox Christian identity was cultivated during this period, which provided a sense of unity among the various provinces; and yet, the surviving historical and archaeological data concerning Cyprus is unique in that it expresses both local and regional characteristics. By investigating the various threads, whether textual, numismatic, architectural, or artistic, narrative has emerged that challenges our past assumptions. The themes covered in this volume developed from a conference held in Nicosia, organized by the Cyprus American Archaeological Research Institute celebrating the 50th year anniversary of the Republic of Cyprus. An international group of experts explored several themes such as: the impact of recent archaeological discoveries; the shift from studying Late Antique urbanism to rural development; indicators of Cypriot identity; shifts in population settlement, production and trade; cultural interaction between Islam and Christianity; the significance of ceramic and numismatic evidence; monumental figural arts and their iconographical interpretation. The resulting chapters provide new and previously unpublished data, and should be considered a major contribution to Late Antique and Medieval studies. 151 colour and black & white illustrations included.

‘I never knew how fascinating a book about herding and grazing could be… This book is remarkable.’ Joanna Lumley ‘Ilse’s deep understanding of herding cultures, and their relationship with the land and life itself, is both moving and revelatory… I loved this book.’ Isabella Tree, author of Wilding ‘Ilse Köhler-Rollefson emerges as a voice worth listening to in this fascinating book about traditional herding culture.’ Country Life Hoofprints on the Land is a fascinating, original and lyrical description of the working partnerships between people and animals that are based on profound respect and relationships that, with the land itself, are founded not on exploitation but reciprocity. Ilse draws on her experience of living with the Raika camel herding community in India for the past 30 years to show how herding cultures tend their flocks in harmony with the land and in partnership with their animals. Nomadic livestock herding is the most ancient and natural means of keeping livestock, yet through colonisation and modernisation, these pioneers have been pushed to the edges of society and their methods have been dismissed as old fashioned and out of touch. Hoofprints on the Land debunks the myth that animal-free agriculture is the only way forward for a healthy planet, and reflects on how we can work with animals to regenerate the landscape. As Ilse writes: ‘Herding is therapy, not just for the planet, but also for our souls.’

A female-centric keto diet and jumpstart plan Have you tried going keto and found that it has made you feel worse rather than better? Does keto seem to make sense in theory yet somehow fails to work as promised? But what if it's not just you? What if keto as we know it simply fails to encompass the needs of the female body? Naomi Whittel, the New York Times bestselling author of Glow15, explores how the problem isn't keto, it's fibre. Ninety per cent of women are fibre deficient, and when women go down the standard keto route, they often lean into animal-based, high-fat, zero-fibre foods, leading to low energy, brain fog, and unnecessary weight gain. Whittel explores the fruits, vegetables, and prebiotic fibre sources that work within a keto framework to: - transform your metabolism - enhance your microbiome - balance your hormones - keep you satiated Whittel's 22-day plan includes delicious, easy-to-make recipes that combine both the nutrients and flavour you need to make a sustainable change, plus a day-by-day movement framework you can tailor to your own needs. With its encouraging and supportive tone, and the foundational science and research to back it up, High Fibre Keto provides the means to get on track with keto and for keto to get on track with you."For women seeking sustainable weight loss, balanced hormones, and increased energy, this is the book for you!" - Kellyann Petrucci, M.S., N.D., New York Times bestselling author of Dr. Kellyann's Bone Broth Diet
