Описание: New infections with HIV remain an urgent problem among young people in Africa, but many young Africans pursue sexual relationships with little thought about the epidemic. This book examines young people's sexual relationships in a region typical of rural sub-Saharan Africa and investigates why the risk of HIV infection generally was not a salient concern for them. It is based on an extraordinarily large and representative qualitative study that was affiliated with an adolescent sexual health intervention trial and included three person-years of participant observation conducted by young East Africans in nine Tanzanian villages. The book describes typical patterns of sexual relationship formation in adolescence and early adult life, the variety of young people's relationships and practices, and the contradictory social ideals and expectations that led premarital and extramarital relationships to be concealed. Young men's main motivations for sex were pleasure and masculine identity, while young women's was to receive money or materials to meet their basic needs, such as soap or a daytime meal. By their late teens most young people had experienced one-time sexual encounters, open-ended opportunistic relationships, and main sometimes semi-public partnerships. Relationships could involve desire, possessiveness, and affection, but romantic idealization of a partner was rare. Many young people expected their partners to be monogamous, but themselves had had concurrent relationships by age 20. The practice of hiding premarital sexual relationships from adults often also concealed them from other sexual partners, which helped maintain concurrency and inhibited realistic risk perception. Understanding of the biology of HIV/AIDS was very limited. Condoms were rarely used because they were associated with reduced pleasure, infection and promiscuity. Sexually transmitted infections were common, but several factors hindered young people from seeking biomedical treatment for them. Many instead relied on tradit

Описание: This volume honors the work of a scholar who has been active in the field of early modern history for over four decades. In that time, Susan Karant-Nunn’s work challenged established orthodoxies, pushed the envelope of historical genres, and opened up new avenues of research and understanding, which came to define the contours of the field itself. Like this rich career, the chapters in this volume cover a broad range of historical genres from social, cultural and art history, to the history of gender, masculinity, and emotion, and range geographically from the Holy Roman Empire, France, and the Netherlands, to Geneva and Austria. Based on a vast array of archival and secondary sources, the contributions open up new horizons of research and commentary on all aspects of early modern life.

This volume of poetry consists of large variety of poems selected posthumously. The depth of human emotions, displayed in rich imagery taken from nature, leave the reader with a feeling of awe. One cannot help but ponder the deeper meanings in life.
"A Straight and Narrow House" consists of 22 poems written in quatrains of four-stress lines. This form is appropriate to the "straight and narrow" path the father has chosen and the son attempts to follow. The speaker in the poem, the son, reflects on the image he has held of his father and the events that disturbed his image of the farm as a paradise. It is a powerful story with vivid natural imagery and a deeply engaging sense of the supernatural.
"Unicorns in the Sun" is a sonnet sequence consisting of 46 Shakespearean sonnets. It is a story of love, joy, loss, suffering, and struggle with time, which is eventually conquered by art. The exquisite imagery of the seasons reflects the speaker's inner journey.
"Metamorphosis" is a fairy-like, imaginative work of art that takes the reader into its world of magic.
The remaining poems are grouped according to features that they share. Most are later poems, but some are from the poet's earliest writings.
The poems included in this volume come from the depths of the poet's soul. They are memorable, reflective, and capture the reader's heart.
