"The book considers Thomas More's early life-choices. An early letter is cited by biographers but most miss More's reference to the market place. More's great-grandson, Cresacre, a Londoner, understood it correctly, and that gives reason to trust him on other aspects of More's youth. This study is based on early testimonies, those of Erasmus, Roper, Harpsfield, Stapleton and Cresacre More, as well as More's early writings, the Pageant Verses, and his additions / omissions to the Life of Pico; evidence drawn from authors he recommended, like Hilton and Gerson; and finally, his epitaph. Attention is given to his lectures on St Augustine's City of God, and to St John Chrysostom. It is argued More studied Chrysostom's Homilies on the Gospel of St Matthew from a Greek manuscript. Chrysostom, in the introductory homily, spoke of the city and the market place, as the setting in which Christians practice the teaching of Christ. More practiced law and taught it. He was attracted to becoming a Christian humanist alongside Grocyn, Colet, Linacre, and Lily. With them he studied Greek, the classics and Fathers of the Church. Helped by them he became a man of prayer, aware of the need to seek holiness in the midst of the world as a layman. Faced with the dilemma of the humanist in choosing between the contemplative life of the philosopher and an active life of engagement with the world, he deliberately chose the active life in service to society, and the contemplative life of the Christian as a married man. This awareness and choice is what is called vocation, implying determination to persevere throughout life: More saw his life as a pilgrimage towards heaven as described in the last chapter focusing on More's last work, De tristitia, tedio, pavore, et oratione christi ante captionem eius"--

In an era of climate catastrophe and corporate agribusiness, meat has been decisively made over. Urbanites across the West are called upon to look at the animals we eat, and by looking, learn to treat them with love. We are asked to tenderise our carnal desire for flesh and dignify our relationship with the land. Yet can our appetite for meat be redeemed by this new way of seeing? Can an ethical approach to the farming, sale, and consumption of meat really save both the planet and our souls? Revisiting John Berger's writings on animals and class, Meat Love restores a materialist lens to the politics of carnivorous desire. In this vital essay, Amber Husain deconstructs the beauty, tragedy, and mystery with which our images of meat are embellished, drawing on a range of visual sources from contemporary art and film to Instagram and advertising. Probing the nature of love in contemporary human-animal relations, it casts a critical eye on the visual culture of meat as it gentrifies and mutates, informing, for better or for worse, who we become as political subjects

"Le langage boursier a son vocabulaire propre, qui relève davantage de la phraséologie que de la terminologie. Il a également ses règles d'écriture, qui divergent parfois des règles habituelles. La description des fluctuations de l'économie ou de ses éléments donne lieu à un foisonnement de métaphores et d'images toujours plus étonnantes. Or les dictionnaires spécialisés, s'ils font un inventaire de la terminologie, donnent peu d'indications sur la phraséologie. Il est donc difficile, pour qui n'est pas familiarisé avec le domaine, de rendre un texte totalement idiomatique. Le Lexique de cooccurrents, premier lexique en son genre, répond à ce besoin en répertoriant, à l'aide d'une méthode de classification simple, mais rigoureuse, la cooccurrence lexicale du domaine économique et boursier. La classification, quoique présentée différemment pour faciliter la consultation, est restée la même que dans la première édition.Les cooccurrents sont classés selon les phases du cycle économique, à savoir le début, la croissance, le déclin et la fin, auxquelles s'ajoutent une catégorie pour les mouvements indéterminés ou neutres et une catégorie "Autres" dans laquelle sont consignés des cooccurrents qui n'entrent pas dans les mouvements cycliques. D'autre part les cooccurrents sont regroupés par catégorie grammaticale : noms, verbes dont le terme en vedette est le sujet, verbes dont le terme en vedette est l'objet, et les adjectifs. Cette seconde édition est également enrichie de remarques, renvois et exemples et indications d'utilisation qui guideront mieux l'utilisateur dans le choix des expressions. La phraséologie est, par nature, volatile puisqu'elle naît de l'échange et suit l'évolution de la langue. C'est ainsi que, touché par la mondialisation des marchés de capitaux, par le rapprochement des réglementations et surtout par l'avènement des nouveaux médias, le domaine économique et boursier a vu sa terminologie et surtout son langage évoluer à une vitesse vertigineuse. Cette deuxième édition du Lexique de cooccurrents en témoigne, puisqu'elle s'est enrichie de nouveaux cooccurrents et en a perdu quelques-uns qui ne sont plus au goût du jour."--
