From JFK and Margaret Thatcher, to Charles Darwin and Fidel Castro, the lives of leaders, rebels, heroes, and outlaws continue to fascinate us. But like everyone else, these figures had their favorite foods. This journey into the preferred meals and snacks of various historical figures offers a peek at an oft-forgotten aspect of their lives.

From Antony and Cleopatra to Lady Diana, from Nero to Ari Onassis, this book explores the preferred dishes of the rich and royal, allowing us a seat at the tables of the upper crust, who transform our world, for better or for worse. Offering recipes throughout, Ross provides a fun and enlightening excursion into the appetites of the elite.

Describing the development of psycho-analytic thinking on perversion, the author is able to highlight the central differences between the Freudian and Jungian interpretive traditions and to explain why Jungian ideas on perversion have remained underdeveloped, leading to the absence of an available Jungian contribution to the theory of perversion.

After many years' social skills work with young people with Asperger Syndrome and other moderate learning difficulties, the authors have compiled a set of training sessions for teachers. Based on a multi-sensory cognitive-behavioural approach, the sessions cover pre- and post-intervention evaluation schedules, and interview and observation tools.
