Ian Young

Presents a "psychohistory" of the gay male community, from Walt Whitman to the AIDS crisis. This study examines the self-images, motivations, behaviours and belief systems that have shaped the gay community. Examples range from street poetry and advertising, to political pamphlets and Hollywood.

" As Irving Layton communicated the love of the female form in the 1950's, Ian Young does the same for the male form in the 1980's.To my mind this is not propaganda for the gay cause but an important prolegomena to an enhanced sense of sexual being for each man and woman." John Robert Colombo

London was a very different place in the early 1980s. Ian Young regales us with colorful stories about Finsbury Park, a neighborhood and its fascinating habitués long gone--gay skinheads, anarchist poets, and stoned stamp collectors--resisting the dark forces of a Thatcherite government.

One response to the situation of childrens' health and eating habits lies in education and learning. Schools and professionals who contribute to schoolchildren's well-being have an essential role to play in this respect. Eating at school concerns two closely related aspects but which involve many different actors: acquiring healthy eating habits in general as part of healthy living and the food available in schools. The program and debates of the forum "Eating at school - making healthy choices" reflected this situation and they are described in this comprehensive report which proposes subjects for reflection as well as possibilities for action.--Publisher's description.
