Old Norse-Icelandic Literature A Short Introduction (Paperback; )

Heather O'Donoghue's Old Norse-Icelandic Literature A Short Introduction (ISBN ). Heather O’Donoghue is Reader in Old Norse at Oxford University. She is regular contributor to the Times Literary Supplement. From runic inscriptions to sagas, this books introduces readers to the rich fictional and historical world of Old Norse-Icelandic literature. It describes and illustrates not only the deceptively novelistic narratives of the renowned family sagas, but also the strange brilliance of Eddaic and skaldic verse; with its vivid mythological, heroic or courtly settings, and the variety of other kinds of Old Norse poetry and storytelling. An introduction outlining the language and culture of the Viking age, when Iceland was first settled, helps readers to appreciate the background against which this literature developed. The book acts as an introduction not only to Old-Norse Icelandic literature, but also to its reception through the ages and its influence on literature written in English. The author shows how a whole range of writers from William Blake to Seamus Heaney have drawn on this body of work, and how it relates to English literature of earlier periods; even Hamlet appears in Old Norse texts. I am located in London and both post-delivery and collection are available. If interested in either of these two options, please feel free to contact me and ask for more information.

Essentials of Human Nutrition Paperback – 24 Mar by Jim Mann (Author)

CAN DELIVER IF LOCAL New unused copy of Essentials of Human Nutrition Paperback – 24 Mar by Jim Mann (Author) "Nutrition is one of the most important determinants of individual and public health. An increasingly informed public expects its health and food professionals to be able to offer clear, evidence-based advice on diet and associated health implications, but how can established nutrition principles be extracted from the extensive body of often misleading information available in the public domain? For those embarking on courses in nutrition or related subjects, Essentials of Human Nutrition offers a broad, quality survey of the field. Chapters written by international experts chart the involvement and impact of nutrition across different age groups and from the genetic to the community level. It draws together the wide spectrum of disciplines, from biochemistry to counselling, necessary to promote the practical application of nutritional science at the human level, providing everything a student needs to appreciate the increasingly recognized importance of nutrition to health and disease. - Disentangles scientifically established nutrition principles from the morass of misinformation available in the public domain - Data sets and extensive referencing ensure the content is firmly anchored in nutrition science - Practical processes with which students need to be familiar, such as dietary assessment and food analysis, are covered Online Resource Centre The Online Resource Centre to accompany Essentials of Human Nutrition features: For students: DT Links to sources of further information and data DT Topical updates For registered adopters of the book: DT Figures from the book, available for download" Ad ID: Delivery Services Consumer Credit
