-Titulo Original : The End Of Alzheimers The First Program To Prevent And Reverse Cognitive Decline-Fabricante : Avery-Descripcion Original: The instant New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestsellerA groundbreaking plan to prevent and reverse Alzheimer’s Disease that fundamentally changes how we understand cognitive decline. Everyone knows someone who has survived cancer, but until now no one knows anyone who has survived Alzheimers Disease. In this paradigm shifting book, Dale Bredesen, MD, offers real hope to anyone looking to prevent and even reverse Alzheimers Disease and cognitive decline. Revealing that AD is not one condition, as it is currently treated, but three, The End of Alzheimer’s outlines 36 metabolic factors (micronutrients, hormone levels, sleep) that can trigger downsizing in the brain. The protocol shows us how to rebalance these factors using lifestyle modifications like taking B12, eliminating gluten, or improving oral hygiene. The results are impressive. Of the first ten patients on the protocol, nine displayed significant improvement with 3-6 months; since then the protocol has yielded similar results with hundreds more. Now, The End of Alzheimer’s brings new hope to a broad audience of patients, caregivers, physicians, and treatment centers with a fascinating look inside the science and a complete step-by-step plan that fundamentally changes how we treat and even think about AD. Review Alzheimer’s is a disease for which there is no cure. Dr. Bredesen’s experimental program gives me hope that there are actions we can all take to care for our brains and keep Alzheimer’s at bay. -Maria Shriver, Today Show The End of Alzheimer’s is a monumental work. Dr. Bredesen completely recontextualizes this devastating condition away from a mysterious and unsolvable process to one that is both preventable and, yes, reversible. Pinning our hopes on pharmaceutical research to develop a miraculous wonder drug has left both physicians and patients empty handed. But now, this comprehensive approach offers solid results, bringing hope to so many. - David Perlmutter, MD, Board-certified neurologist and author, #1 New York Times bestseller, Grain Brain, and Brain Maker The End of Alzheimers, for the first time, synthesizes the latest science into a practical plan that can reverse Alzheimers and dramatically improve brain health and function. If you have a brain, read this book. -Mark Hyman, MD, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Eat Fat, Get Thin This book represents a major turning point in our approach to Alzheimer’s disease, from viewing it as a mysterious and incurable affliction that is governed almost exclusively by our genes, to understanding it as a multifactorial condition that can be prevented and even reversed largely through nutrition and lifestyle change. For the first time ever, patients and families affected by Alzheimer’s-as well as those at high risk for this devastating disease-truly have a reason to be hopeful. -Chris Kresser, M.S., L.Ac Founder, Kresser Institute for Functional & Evolutionary Medicine, Author of the New York Times best seller The Paleo Cure The End of Alzheimer’s is a masterful, authoritative, and ultimately hopeful patient guide to functional medicine for your brain.

-Titulo Original : The Korean Vegan Cookbook Reflections And Recipes From Ommas Kitchen-Fabricante : Avery-Descripcion Original: THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER *NAMED ONE OF THE BEST NEW COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Epicurious * EATER * Stained Page * Infatuation * Spruce Eats * Publisher’s Weekly * Food52 * Toronto StarThe dazzling debut cookbook from Joanne Lee Molinaro, the home cook and spellbinding storyteller behind the online sensation @thekoreanveganJoanne Lee Molinaro has captivated millions of fans with her powerfully moving personal tales of love, family, and food. In her debut cookbook, she shares a collection of her favorite Korean dishes, some traditional and some reimagined, as well as poignant narrative snapshots that have shaped her family history. As Joanne reveals, she’s often asked, “How can you be vegan and Korean?” Korean cooking is, after all, synonymous with fish sauce and barbecue. And although grilled meat is indeed prevalent in some Korean food, the ingredients that filled out bapsangs on Joanne’s table growing up-doenjang (fermented soybean paste), gochujang (chili sauce), dashima (seaweed), and more-are fully plant-based, unbelievably flavorful, and totally Korean. Some of the recipes come straight from her childhood: Jjajangmyun, the rich Korean-Chinese black bean noodles she ate on birthdays, or the humble Gamja Guk, a potato-and-leek soup her father makes. Some pay homage: Chocolate Sweet Potato Cake is an ode to the two foods that saved her mother’s life after she fled North Korea. The Korean Vegan Cookbook is a rich portrait of the immigrant experience with life lessons that are universal. It celebrates how deeply food and the ones we love shape our identity. Review “[Joanne is] an expert in veganizing dishes, especially Korean food, and a soothing storyteller….Over the course of exactly 60 seconds, Molinaro somehow makes you want to laugh, cry, march in the streets and devour every damn thing on her plate. -The Washington Post “Joanne masterfully entwines food, culture, education and self-improvement with incredibly honest, vulnerable, heartfelt stories….May this extraordinary woman inspire you to think more deeply about your own story-and the indelible power inherent in sharing it.” -Rich Roll, ultra-endurance athlete, wellness advocate, and the host of The Rich Roll Podcast“This Tasty Tribute is full of heart and flavor.”-STARRED Publishers Weekly “With these stories, it becomes clear that every dish is deeply personal to Molinaro, and by presenting the recipes here, she does more than offer up delicious food - she invites the reader to honor one immigrant family’s story.” -EATER “You don’t have to be vegan to consume Joanne Molinaro’s cooking videos. Although you might come for the food, you’ll leave with life lessons on love, grief, and growing up Korean. If you grew up in an immigrant household or ever felt like you weren’t enough, then Molinaro’s stories may resonate with you.” -SELF “Joanne Lee Molinaro gained fame as @thekoreanvegan on TikTok, and her debut cookbook is a welcome addition to our shelves. Come for the savory soups and stews, stay for the mushroom galbi and gochujang-glazed persimmon upside-down cake.” -EPICURIOUS All of Joanne Lee Molinaros work reminds us that the best part of any recipe is the story behind it. In her debut cookbook, she shares not only so many wonderful vegan Korean dishes (I want to cook so many things!), she also shares herself and her family with us. We are better for it.-Julia Turshen, Bestselling Cookbook Author of Simply Julia, Host of Keep Calm & Cook On, and Founder of Equity at The TableWhen you crack open The Korean Vegan Cookbook, you wont just want to make every one of Joannes mouthwatering recipes (and you will!), youll want to devour her writing, too. Between her creative, plant-based takes on noodles, banchan, bagels, and more, she shares stories of her family that will move you to laughter and tears by turns.-Jeanine Donofrio, author of The Love and Lemons CookbookCome for the veganized Korean recipes t...

-Titulo Original : The End Of Alzheimers Program The First Protocol To Enhance Cognition And Reverse Decline At Any Age-Fabricante : Avery-Descripcion Original: The instant New York Times bestsellerThe New York Times Best Selling author of The End of Alzheimers lays out a specific plan to help everyone prevent and reverse cognitive decline or simply maximize brainpower.In The End of Alzheimers Dale Bredesen laid out the science behind his revolutionary new program that is the first to both prevent and reverse symptoms of Alzheimers disease. Now he lays out the detailed program he uses with his own patients. Accessible and detailed, it can be tailored to anyones needs and will enhance cognitive ability at any age.What we call Alzheimers disease is actually a protective response to a wide variety of insults to the brain: inflammation, insulin resistance, toxins, infections, and inadequate levels of nutrients, hormones, and growth factors. Bredesen starts by having us figure out which of these insults we need to address and continues by laying out a personalized lifestyle plan. Focusing on the Ketoflex 12/3 Diet, which triggers ketosis and lets the brain restore itself with a minimum 12-hour fast, Dr. Bredesen drills down on restorative sleep, targeted supplementation, exercise, and brain training. He also examines the tricky question of toxic exposure and provides workarounds for many difficult problems. The takeaway is that we do not need to do the program perfectly but will see tremendous results if we can do it well enough.With inspiring stories from patients who have reversed cognitive decline and are now thriving, this book shifts the treatment paradigm and offers a new and effective way to enhance cognition as well as unprecedented hope to sufferers of this now no longer deadly disease. Review “Although the source of the quote ‘The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result’ has been questioned, its relevance to the pursuit of a single drug approach to the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease is unquestionable. Sanity now prevails with Dr. Bredesen’s challenge to the status quo that may well bring an end to Alzheimer’s disease.”­-David Perlmutter, MD, from the foreword“Once in a generation a book comes along that changes the way we think, that sheds light on our darkest struggles, that provides a clear, scientific path to ending the scourge of a disease that robs millions of their minds. The End of Alzheimer’s Program is that book. Whether you want to enhance and optimize your brain at any age, prevent cognitive decline and even reverse early dementia, Dr. Bredesen, in breathtakingly simple, scientifically profound steps maps a way to achieve this. If you have a brain, read this book.”-Mark Hyman, MD, Head of Strategy and Innovation: Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Food Fix: How to Save Our Health, Our Economy, Our Communities and Our Planet - One Bite at a Time“Dale Bredesen MD has done it again. Teaming up with his wife, an integrative physician, and Julie Gregory, one of his recovered patients, he delivers the essential how-to guide for risk reduction and potentially reversal of cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease. This elegantly written, step-by-step handbook to Dr. Bredesen’s revolutionary protocol will help thousands if not millions. I give it my highest recommendation.”-Sara Gottfried, MD, New York Times bestselling author of The Hormone Cure“This is THE book to be read by anyone interested in how to prevent Alzheimer’s disease. Dr. Bredesen is a world-class neuroscientist, neurologist who brings his expansive experience and brilliance together to provide the best that science has to offer in the prevention of this disease.”-Dr. Jeffrey Bland, author of Disease Delusion and Founder, Institute for Functional Medicine “Alzheimer’s disease remains a disease of bleak outlook for most. However, in The End of Alzheimer’s Program, Dale Bredesen describes new hope based on his decades of research and recent clinical success. T...

-Titulo Original : The Squared Circle Life, Death, And Professional Wrestling-Fabricante : Avery-Descripcion Original: A breakthrough examination of the professional wrestling, its history, its fans, and its wider cultural impact The Squared Circle grows out of David Shoemaker’s writing for Deadspin, where he started the column “Dead Wrestler of the Week” (which boasts more than 1 million page views)-a feature on the many wrestling superstars who died too young because of the abuse they subject their bodies to-and his writing for Grantland, where he covers the pro wrestling world, and its place in the pop culture mainstream. Shoemaker’s sportswriting has since struck a nerve with generations of wrestling fans who-like him-grew up worshipping a sport often derided as “fake” in the wider culture. To them, these professional wrestling superstars are not just heroes but an emotional outlet and the lens through which they learned to see the world. Starting in the early 1900s and exploring the path of pro wrestling in America through the present day, The Squared Circle is the first book to acknowledge both the sport’s broader significance and wrestling fans’ keen intellect and sense of irony. Divided into eras, each section offers a snapshot of the wrestling world, profiles some of the period’s preeminent wrestlers, and the sport’s influence on our broader culture. Through the brawling, bombast, and bloodletting, Shoemaker argues that pro wrestling can teach us about the nature of performance, audience, and, yes, art. Full of unknown history, humor, and self-deprecating reminiscence-but also offering a compelling look at the sport’s rightful place in pop culture-The Squared Circle is the book that legions of wrestling fans have been waiting for. In it, Shoemaker teaches us to look past the spandex and body slams to see an art form that can explain the world. Review Ambitious and elegant, clear-eyed and soulful, The Squared Circle is a fine addition to the canon of literary sports writing. - The Wall Street Journal Acid, engaging prose...Shoemaker ensures that the most unsavory aspects of wrestling have their due and that the spectacles victims wont be forgotten. - Los Angeles Times Wonderfully written…A thoughtful chronicle. . . . Whether youre a wrestling fan or just a fan of good writing and stories, The Squared Circle: Life, Death, and Professional Wrestling delivers. - The Memphis Flyer The most erudite book that I have ever read about...the world of professional wrestling. - Good Times Magazine Adventurous readers, indifferent to wrestling though they may be, will find this a fun look inside an alternate universe. Fans, of course, will be whacking each other over the head with fake metal folding chairs to get their mitts on a copy. - Booklist Shoemaker is at his best when telling comic anecdotes about the colorful characters of the sport. . . . [a] lively, informed survey.” - Publishers Weekly Few people write about anything as well as David Shoemaker writes about pro wrestling. And if youre the type who dismisses it as a fake sport, just know that this awesome book contains real characters, real betrayals, and very, very real death. Thats great reading. -Drew Magary, author of Someone Could Get Hurt and The Postmortal If you believe that pro wrestling is not a sport, then youve never read David Shoemaker. No one else so ably demonstrates the real-life drama and competition that takes place between the lines of the scripted action. No one else shows how true this fake world can become for the fans, promoters, and yes, pro wrestlers, who practice the trade. If you are a fan of sports and entertainment, or the murky world in between, you will devour this riveting book. And if you believe pro wrestling cant produce top-shelf sports writing, then, yes, youve never read David Shoemaker. Hes the CM Punk of the genre, aka The Best in the World. -Dave Zirin, author of Game Over: How Politics Has Turned the Sports World Upside Down This is the undoubtedly the best ...

After a misbegotten part as Jenna on the pilot of 30 Rock, Dratch was only getting offered roles as “Lesbians. Secretaries.

Chapter 1The Connoisseurs of MurderThe great hall was filled with the lingering aroma of pork and mallard duck sausage as black-vested waiters appeared, shouldering cups of vanilla bean blancmange. Connoisseurs sat at tables between the hearths under glittering eighteenth-century chandeliers, chatting amiably in several languages. When the coffee arrived, a fine Colombian supremo steaming in its pots, the image of the corpse of a young man of uncommon beauty, lying on his back, materialized in the center of the room.A gray winter light slanted into the hall, as the midday sun had sailed beyond the city, and the image on the large screen was crisp. The young mans blond locks were matted in a corona of dried blood, his sculpted cheekbones reduced to a pulp. The police photograph had been taken at night in a restaurant alley, and the surrounding scene was obscured in darkness. Yet the strobe light had thrown the young mans face into sharp relief. Out of the shadows of a distant southern night, the stark, wide-open eyes loomed over the room.It was shortly before one oclock in the afternoon, and the fifth and final course had been served to the connoisseurs of the Vidocq Society.My goodness, said a short-haired young woman in a red dress. Patting her mouth with a napkin, she excused herself from t...

-Titulo Original : Someone Could Get Hurt A Memoir Of Twenty-first-century Parenthood-Fabricante : Avery-Descripcion Original: A sharp, funny, and heartfelt memoir from the author of The Night the Lights Went Out, The Hike, and The Postmortal about fatherhood and the ups and downs of raising a family in modern America No one writes about family quite like Drew Magary. In Someone Could Get Hurt, he reflects on his own parenting experiences to explore the anxiety, rationalizations, compromises, and overpowering love that come with raising children.In brutally honest and funny stories, Magary reveals how American mothers and fathers cope with being in over their heads-from getting drunk while trick-or-treating and telling dirty jokes to make bath time go smoothly to committing petty vandalism to bond with a five-year-old.Someone Could Get Hurt offers a hilarious and heartfelt look at child rearing with a glimpse into the genuine love and compassion that accompany the missteps and flawed logic. It’s the story of head lice, almost-dirty words, flat head syndrome, and a man trying to commit the ultimate act of selflessness in a selfish world. Review “It’s an honest and hilarious portrayal of how aggravating it can be to raise a family.” -Justin Halpern, author of the New York Times bestseller Sh*t My Dad Says“The world needs Drew Magary’s wonderfully funny, breathtakingly honest book about parenting.”-Jen Doll, memoirist and senior writer at The Atlantic Wire“The Fathers Day book for dads who hate getting books for Father’s Day.”-Will Leitch, author of Are We Winning? and God Save the Fan“If you are a parent, I challenge you to not simultaneously laugh and sob through this entire book.”-Rachel Dratch, comedian and author of Girl Walks into a Bar...Praise for Drew Magary’s THE POSTMORTALUnnerving. . . . An absorbing picture of dawning apocalypse. . . . A disturbing portrait of a society convinced its close to utopia when a cure for aging is invented. Unsurprisingly, it doesnt take long for that seeming utopia to dissolve into a planet-overstressed from overpopulation, food and fuel shortages, and general lawlessness-going into systemic failure. . . . The Postmortal is a suitably chilling entry into the its-the-end-of-the-world canon. - The Austin ChronicleMagarys vision of future technology and science is eerily realistic. . . . By the time you finish, youll want to hold your loved ones close and stockpile bottles of water. If all else fails, you could potentially make a living selling them a few decades from now. - The New York PressMagarys vision of future technology and science is eerily realistic. . . . By the time you finish, youll want to hold your loved ones close and stockpile bottles of water. If all else fails, you could potentially make a living selling them a few decades from now. - Mark Frauenfelder, Boing BoingImmortality has figured in a number of sf novels prior to this one, but never, to my experience, in this way. . . . A very clear-eyed picture, one I dont think has been drawn before. . . . The Postmortal surprised me in a good way. - Michelle West, Fantasy & Science Fiction MagazineThe Postmortal is a punchy, fast-paced and endearing story. . . . As the novel progresses, it turns from a snappy morality tale, to a noir- ish revenge fable, to an action movie; complete with guns, rogue religious cults and government-sanctioned hit men. The narrative comes to us through Johns blog entries and collections of news bytes and pundit commentary. Through his sixty years as a 29-year-old, he experiences all the love, pain, grief, and terror of a standard lifetime and is still in good enough shape to kick some ass at the end. Like much good dystopian fiction, The Postmortal is an at-times unflattering commentary on human beings, present, past and future, that hits the mark in many ways. . . . For anyone intrigued with Life Extension science, its a fun examination of our fears and expectations. - The Nervous BreakdownA darkly comic, totally gonzo, and effectively frightening population- bomb...

-Titulo Original : Candy Girl A Year In The Life Of An Unlikely Stripper-Fabricante : Avery-Descripcion Original: Decreed by David Letterman (tongue in cheek) on CBS TV’s The Late Show to be the pick of “Dave’s Book Club 2006,” Candy Girl is the story of a young writer who dared to bare it all as a stripper. At the age of twenty-four, Diablo Cody decided there had to be more to life than typing copy at an ad agency. She soon managed to find inspiration from a most unlikely source- amateur night at the seedy Skyway Lounge. While she doesn’t take home the prize that night, Diablo discovers to her surprise the act of stripping is an absolute thrill. This is Diablo’s captivating fish-out-of-water story of her yearlong walk on the wild side, from quiet gentlemen’s clubs to multilevel sex palaces and glassed-in peep shows. In witty prose she gives readers a behind-the-scenes look at this industry through a writer’s keen eye, chronicling her descent into the skin trade and the effect it had on her self-image and her relationship with her now husband. Review Good, frothy fun. . . . For those of us who have stared, transfixed, from a distance, wondering how the air is up there, Candy Girl is a bracing lungful. (Los Angeles Times)Diablo Cody is to stripping what Chuck Klosterman is to pop culture and Sarah Vowell is to American history. . . . Candy Girl is fiendishly funny, muscle-car fast, and frighteningly-and I do mean frighteningly-accurate. (Lily Burana, author of Strip City: A Stripper’s Farewell Journey Across America)[Cody is] a quick, erudite, and funny writer. . . . One hell of a good story.

-Titulo Original : The Vegucation Of Robin How Real Food Saved My Life-Fabricante : Avery-Descripcion Original: Robin Quivers’s New York Times-bestselling vegan cookbook, filled with more than ninety recipes Known for her levelheaded, deadpan comebacks to Howard Stern’s often outrageous banter, Robin Quivers is a force of nature. Yet few people know about her struggles with food-especially the high-fat, high-sugar, high-cholesterol, highly addictive foods that doomed many of her relatives to obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. Sick and tired of being sick and tired, she knew it was time to stop her slow slide into bad health. Quivers took a stand in her personal nutrition battle and emerged victorious thanks to a plant-based diet. On her sometimes rocky, though endearingly hysterical, path to newfound health, Quivers discovered the power of the produce aisle in changing her body and her mindset. By filling up on soul-quenching, cell-loving vegetables instead of damaging animal products and processed foods, Quivers left behind the injuries, aches, and pains that had plagued her for twenty years. Charting her inspiring road to wellness, The Vegucation of Robin describes her transformation inside and out, and, including ninety of her favorite vegan recipes, she encourages readers to join her in putting their health first. With her signature humor and wit, Quivers builds an undeniable case that the key to living the life you’ve always wanted lies not with your doctor but in your refrigerator. Putting a new face on the pro-veggie movement, Quivers will dazzle readers who want to look good, feel good, and have fun doing it. Review Serious as the subject of health may be, Quivers discusses it with levity and her signature laughter. -Vegetarian TimesI was surprised by how many times I nodded my head reading Quivers revelations... Refreshing. -Patrik Bass, Essence About the Author For more than thirty years, Robin Quivers has cohosted The Howard Stern Show, which broadcasts daily on SiriusXM. Quivers lives in New York City...

-Titulo Original : Nerd Do Well A Small Boys Journey To Becoming A Big Kid-Fabricante : Avery-Descripcion Original: The unique life story of one of the most talented and inventive comedians, star of Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Paul, Spaced, and Star Trek. Zombies in North London, death cults in the West Country, the engineering deck of the Enterprise -- actor, comedian, writer, and supergeek Simon Pegg has been ploughing some bizarre furrows. Having landed on the U.S. movie scene in the surprise cult hit Shaun of the Dead, his enduring appeal and rise to movie stardom has been mercurial, meteoric, megatronic, but mostly just plain great.From his childhood (and subsequently adult) obsession with science fiction, his enduring friendship with Nick Frost, and his forays into stand-up comedy, which began with his regular Monday-morning slot in front of his twelve-year-old classmates, Simon has always had a severe and dangerous case of the funnies.Whether recounting his experience working as a lifeguard at the city pool, going to Comic-Con for the first time and confessing to Carrie Fisher that he used to kiss her picture every night before he went to sleep, or meeting and working with heroes that include Peter Jackson, Kevin Smith, and Quentin Tarantino, Pegg offers a hilarious look at the journey to becoming an international superstar. Review When the hilarious Simon Pegg asked for a quote for his book, I said no. - Ricky Gervais“Simon Pegg is the nerdiest nerd ever to nerd out about nerdiness. Read this hilarious book, nerd!” - Michael Ian Black, author of My Custom Van“Nerd Do Well does the necessary job of telling Pegg’s story, but does so in an intimate manner.” - The Times (London)I read over 1 million books a year and this is the best book I have read in 15 years. - Kristen Wiig“Hollywood’s go-to geek talks about the chronicle of his passage through the lower-lying lands of popular culture.” - Word magazine“How did a geeky kid with a love of Star Wars end up a cult film hero working with Steven Spielberg? Simon Pegg reveals much more.” - The Observer“An anthology of childhood milestones and film analysis, Peggs book isnt your run-of-the-mill celebrity tell-all.” - Time “Anyone over 13 who ever wrote middle-school-aged standup comedy, filmed stop-motion movies with their action figures, storyboarded Star Wars: Episode VII or mixed fake blood using corn syrup and food coloring will probably find a certain kinship with the writer of Nerd Do Well.” - Wired “As promised in the title, Pegg lets his nerd flag fly, offering extended reflections on the inner workings of comedy and his own fannish obsessions. Sweet, funny and moving, Nerd Do Well is about what you’d expect from Simon Pegg. Yeah, it’s that good.” - Kirkus Reviews“Nerd Do Well makes an ideal summer read. Pegg’s discourse on the merits and shortcomings of the Star Wars movies are worth the price of the book themselves. It’s everything that Patton Oswalt’s Zombie Spaceship Wasteland could have been but wasn’t.” - Examiner “Overflowing with alarmingly bang-on analyses of geek/nerd iconography from the Enterprise to the Death Star to Comic-Con, the Peggs Tale, so to speak, is the kind of personal history you wish all your four-color heroes would write but generally dont.” - Austin Chronicle“A charming collection of stories” - Slate About the Author Simon Pegg is an actor, comedian, screenwriter, producer, and author. Best known for his roles in Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Spaced, and Paul, he also played Scotty in Star Trek (2009). Simon lives in London with his wife and daughter...

-Titulo Original : Toast The Story Of A Boys Hunger-Fabricante : Avery-Descripcion Original: Toast is Nigel Slater’s truly extraordinary story of a childhood remembered through food. In each chapter, as he takes readers on a tour of the contents of his family’s pantry-rice pudding, tinned ham, cream soda, mince pies, lemon drops, bourbon biscuits-we are transported....His mother was a chops-and-peas sort of cook, exasperated by the highs and lows of a temperamental stove, a finicky little son, and the asthma that was to prove fatal. His father was a honey-and-crumpets man with an unpredictable temper. When Nigel’s widowed father takes on a housekeeper with social aspirations and a talent in the kitchen, the following years become a heartbreaking cooking contest for his father’s affections. But as he slowly loses the battle, Nigel finds a new outlet for his culinary talents, and we witness the birth of what was to become a lifelong passion for food. Nigel’s likes and dislikes, aversions and sweet-toothed weaknesses, form a fascinating backdrop to this exceptionally moving memoir of childhood, adolescence, and sexual awakening.A bestseller (more than 300,000 copies sold) and award-winner in the UK, Toast is sure to delight both foodies and memoir readers on this side of the pond-especially those who made such enormous successes of Ruth Reichl’s Tender at the Bone and Anthony Bourdain’s Kitchen Confidential. About the Author Nigel Slater is the author of several classic cookbooks, including Real Fast Food and the award-winning Appetite. He has written a much-loved column for The Observer (London) for more than a decade and has been described by the media as a national treasure. He lives in London. Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. Preface“Write a piece about the food of your childhood, will you?” asked the (then) editor of my weekly food column in London’s Observer newspaper. I liked the idea and went out and bought the candies and puddings that, some thirty years ago, had been such an important part of my diet. Some I still ate as an occasional treat; others I had not had my tongue around for twenty years or more. As I unwrapped each sticky chocolate bar or sucked each brightly colored candy, the memories-surprisingly clear and loud-flooded back. This would be easy, I thought. A painless column to write after several years of penning weekly recipe-led pieces.At first it was all straightforward enough. Oat cookies reminded me of coming home from school; green beans brought back the smell of the farm were I was sent to pick them; Turkish Delight reminded me of Christmas. In that respect it was not dissimilar from other foodie memoirs. But the more I ate the more I realized that not every mouthful produced a memory so sweet. A dish of canned raspberries revisited a violent thrashing from my father that brought me to a point of near collapse (I had spilt them and their scarlet juice on the new gray carpet, and he was distraught from being newly widowed); cream-filled Walnut Whips hit back with an embarrassingly vivid recall of early sexual voyeurism; and the soft pink marshmallows I had not eaten since I was nine I found to be inseparably linked with my late mom’s goodnight kisses. I decided to take a chance and made the piece uninhibitedly personal. I linked the food not just with events but with feelings, warts and all, and even chucked in a fair helping of sex. I handed the column in. A half hour later the phone rang. I knew it was my editor even before I picked it up. “It’s about the story,” she said. Immediately I gabbled at her, saying that I was sorry, I knew it was too intimate and was out of style. I offered to rewrite it, taking out all the memoir and sticking strictly to the food. “No,” she insisted, “I love it. I’m going to publish it exactly as it is.” The morning after the piece, now called “My Life on a Plate,” came out, Louise Haines, my literary editor who had worked on all of my cookbooks, called to say that she had read the story and th...

-Titulo Original : Fat Chance Beating The Odds Against Sugar, Processed Food, Obesity, And Disease-Fabricante : Avery-Descripcion Original: Review “No scientist has done more in the last fifty years to alert Americans to the potential dangers of sugar in the diet than Dr. Robert Lustig.” --Gary Taubes, author of Good Calories, Bad Calories and Why We Get Fat “Our eating habits are killing us. In this timely and important book, Dr. Robert Lustig presents the scientific evidence for the toxicity of sugar and the disastrous effects of modern industrial food on the hormones that control hunger, satiety, and weight. He gives recommendations for a personal solution to the problem we face and also suggests a public policy solution. Fat Chance is the best book Ive read on the relationship between diet and health and the clearest explanation of epidemic obesity in our society.”--Andrew Weil, M.D., author of Spontaneous Happiness and You Can’t Afford to Get Sick “Fat Chance is THE manifesto for our time. It reveals the real reasons we why we are a fat nation and how to cure the obesity epidemic. It gets right to the root of the problem, which is not gluttony and sloth, as the food industry, government and your neighbor would have you believe. It is because we are drowning in a sea of sugar which poisons our metabolism, shrinks our brains, and threatens our national security and global competitiveness. Every American, politician, teacher, and business leader must read this book. Our nations future depends on it.” --Mark Hyman, M.D., author of The Blood Sugar Solution “Fat Chance is an extraordinary achievement. Obesitys causes, mechanisms, health consequences, and preventive approaches are all devilishly complicated, but Dr. Lustigs outstanding contribution clarifies the complexity via a writing style thats accessible, insightful, and often gently humorous. Robert Lustig is a clinician, a scientist, and an advocate - a combination that that makes him uniquely qualified to bring the conditions many facets into sharp focus. Obesity has become the worlds number one health problem. Fat Chance is the book for all of us who must confront this epidemic.”--S. Boyd Eaton, M.D., Departments of Radiology and Anthropology, Emory University, and father of the Paleo Diet movement “Robert Lustig is neither ringing an alarm bell nor giving us a gentle, paternalistic nudge. His message is more authentic. He is a medical doctor issuing a prescription. In order to address a current cocktail of health threats, Americans must alter their diets and do so radically. Those alterations must begin with a dramatic reduction in the consumption of sugars.”--Alec Baldwin “The obesity pandemic is well documented. But what can be done about it? More importantly, when does a personal health issue rise to become a public health crisis? In Fat Chance, Dr. Robert Lustig examines the science of obesity to determine the role that our current diet (especially too much sugar and too little fiber) plays in weight gain and disease. Using that knowledge, he proposes changes in our personal, public, and governmental attitudes to combat this scourge. Fat Chance is a savory read with a sweet finish.”--Sanjay Gupta, M.D., neurosurgeon and CNN medical correspondent The landmark New York Times best seller that reveals how the explosion of sugar in our diets has created an obesity epidemic, and what we can do to save ourselves.Robert Lustig is at the forefront of war against sugar - showing us that its toxic, its addictive, and its everywhere because the food companies want it to be. His 90-minute YouTube video Sugar: The Bitter Truth has been viewed more than 7 million times. Now, in this landmark book, he documents the science and the politics that have led to personal misery and public crisis - the pandemic of obesity and chronic disease--over the last thirty years. In the late 1970s, when the U.S. government declared that we needed to get the fat out of our diets, the food industry responded by pumping in more sugar to make food more palatable (and more salable)...

If you have not defined what the ideal job is for you and devised a plan to get there, your chances of getting there are greatly diminished. In Strategize to Win Carla Harris provides practical advice on how to look within yourself and discover the career journey that will lead you down your path to success.

Easy Pad Thai recipeServes 4I’m probably not supposed to play favorites, but this recipe is definitely my favorite. Pad thai is the epitome of simple ingredients creating dazzling flavor. It’s fresh, light, exotic, and faster than any takeout (unless, of course, you happen to live above a restaurant that delivers). Fresh lime is key to creating the unique flavor, but one lime should be enough for a single or even double batch of this noodle dish. Fish sauce, which you can find in the Asian section of most major grocery stores or at Asian markets, gives this pasta a more authentic flavor, but if you can’t find any, skip it; this dish will still rock your world.INGREDIENTS8 ounces pad thai or lo mein noodles2 tablespoons vegetable oil1 clove garlic, minced2 large eggs1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from about 1 medium lime)2 tablespoons brown sugar1 teaspoon fish sauce1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes3 green onions, sliced1/4 bunch fresh cilantro, leaves only, roughly chopped1/4 cup chopped, unsalted peanutsINSTRUCTIONSBring a large pot of water to a rolling boil.

-Titulo Original : Garbology Our Dirty Love Affair With Trash-Fabricante : Avery-Descripcion Original: A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist takes readers on a surprising tour of America’s biggest export, our most prodigious product, and our greatest legacy: our trashThe average American produces 102 tons of garbage across a lifetime and $50 billion in squandered riches are rolled to the curb each year. But our bins are just the starting point for a strange, impressive, mysterious, and costly journey that may also represent the greatest untapped opportunity of the century.In Garbology, Edward Humes investigates trash-what’s in it; how much we pay for it; how we manage to create so much of it; and how some families, communities, and even nations are finding a way back from waste to discover a new kind of prosperity. Along the way , he introduces a collection of garbage denizens unlike anyone you’ve ever met: the trash-tracking detectives of MIT, the bulldozer-driving sanitation workers building Los Angeles’ Garbage Mountain landfill, the artists residing in San Francisco’s dump, and the family whose annual trash output fills not a dumpster or a trash can, but a single mason jar.Garbology reveals not just what we throw away, but who we are and where our society is headed. Waste is the one environmental and economic harm that ordinary working Americans have the power to change-and prosper in the process.Garbology is raising awareness of trash consumption and is sparking community-wide action through One City One Book programs around the country.It is becoming an increasingly popular addition to high school and college syllabi and is being adopted by many colleges and universities for First Year Experience programs. Review “Humes offers plenty of surprising, even shocking, statistics…An important addition to the environmentalist bookshelf.”-Kirkus Reviews“Unlike most dirty books, this one is novel and fresh on every page. Youll be amazed.”-Bill McKibben, author of Eaarth“Edward Humes takes us on a real romp through the waste stream. Garbology is an illuminating, entertaining read that ultimately provides hope and tips for a less wasteful future. This book will make you want to burn, or at least recycle, your trash can!”-Jonathan Bloom, author of American Wasteland “In this well-written and fast-paced book, Ed Humes delves into the underbelly of a consumer society-its trash. What he finds is so startling and infuriating, you will never think about ‘waste’ in the same way again.” -Samuel Fromartz, author of Organic, Inc. and Editor-in-Chief of the Food & Environment Reporting NetworkHumess argument isnt a castigation of litterbugs. Its a persuasive and sometimes astonishing indictment of an economy thats become inextricably linked to the increasing consumption of cheap, disposable stuff-ultimately to our own economic, political, and yes, environmental peril... his arguments for the rank inefficiency of our trash-happy, terminally obsolescent economy are spot on.-Bookforum About the Author Edward Humes is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author whose eleven previous books include Force of Nature, Eco Barons, and the PEN Award-winning No Matter How Loud I Shout.
