-Titulo Original : The Amazing Story Of Quantum Mechanics A Math-free Exploration Of The Science That Made Our World-Fabricante : Avery-Descripcion Original: A highly entertaining exploration of the complicated science of quantum mechanics made easy to understand by way of pop culture.

-Titulo Original : The New Rules Of Lifting Supercharged Ten All-new Muscle-building Programs For Men And Women-Fabricante : Avery-Descripcion Original: This supercharged new edition of The New Rules of Lifting features all-new workouts to build maximum muscle in both men and women. Lou Schuler and Alwyn Cosgrove’s The New Rules of Lifting, The New Rules of Lifting for Women, and The New Rules of Lifting for Abs have revolutionized how people lift weights. The New Rules of Lifting Supercharged is a total reboot of the weightlifting workout book that launched the series in 2006, packing even more power on every page. Featuring ten completely new workouts for both women and men, Supercharged emphasizes four major movements that do the most to change the way your body looks, feels, and performs: squat, deadlift, push, and pull. In addition, Cosgrove’s updated total-body workout program improves core strength, mobility, flexibility, balance, endurance, and athleticism . . . all in just three hours a week of exercise. Another big change from the original New Rules of Lifting is a self-customized workout system. Readers can choose their own exercises from a menu for each movement category, allowing beginner and advanced lifters to get tremendous results from the same basic plan. Each workout ends with a “finisher”-five to ten minutes of fun but high-effort drills such as complexes, intervals, and density training, with the choice of the reader’s favorite exercises. The ultimate guide to total-body strengthening, this supercharged edition of The New Rules of Lifting will lift readers to stratospheric results. About the Author Lou Schuler is a National Magazine Award-winning journalist, a certified strength and conditioning specialist, and the author of many top-selling fitness books. He lives in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Alwyn Cosgrove is a veteran trainer and strength coach. He co-owns Results Fitness in Newhall, California. Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. In the beginning, Alwyn Cosgrove and I wrote a book called The New Rules of Lifting. And it was good. Readers liked it, and they got outstanding results from Alwyn’s training programs. You wouldn’t be reading the fifth book in the series if the first one hadn’t helped lifters like you reach your goals. But here’s the thing: Most lifters like you haven’t heard of Alwyn, or me, or the NROL series. Millions of men and women lift weights, either at home or in commercial gyms, but it’s hard to see much evidence to suggest they’re getting what they want from it, or what they could get from it. Instead, I see all the same behaviors and practices that inspired us to launch the series in the first place. I see paunchy middle-aged men block the dumbbell rack as they grind through set after set of every biceps exercise they remember from Flex magazine circa 1995, while avoiding the exercises that use the body’s biggest muscles in coordinated action, the movements that would do the most to build muscle, burn fat, and turn back the clock to the days when they looked more like a page from Men’s Health than Cigar Aficionado. I see apparently healthy women doing the beneficial exercises the men avoid-the squats, deadlifts, and rows-but with weights that wouldn’t challenge someone twice their age, with half their strength. I see young lifters doing exercises that will turn them into old lifters, the moves most likely to cause injury and least likely to offer much benefit. I see older lifters doing half-baked versions of programs designed for young athletes or bodybuilders, only without any apparent sense of the mechanisms that would make such a program work. It’s like they’ve all gotten the first half of the memo about the importance of strength training for health, fitness, and appearance. But somehow the rest of the memo-the part that explains what you need to do to get the results you want-got deleted. So, in a way, the NROL series is the second half of that memo. Take the first New Rule of Lifting: “The best muscle-building exercises are the ones that use you...

-Titulo Original : The Remedy Robert Koch, Arthur Conan Doyle, And The Quest To Cure Tuberculosis-Fabricante : Avery-Descripcion Original: The riveting history of tuberculosis, the world’s most lethal disease, the two men whose lives it tragically intertwined, and the birth of medical science. In 1875, tuberculosis was the deadliest disease in the world, accountable for a third of all deaths. A diagnosis of TB-often called consumption-was a death sentence. Then, in a triumph of medical science, a German doctor named Robert Koch deployed an unprecedented scientific rigor to discover the bacteria that caused TB. Koch soon embarked on a remedy-a remedy that would be his undoing. When Koch announced his cure for consumption, Arthur Conan Doyle, then a small-town doctor in England and sometime writer, went to Berlin to cover the event. Touring the ward of reportedly cured patients, he was horrified. Koch’s “remedy” was either sloppy science or outright fraud. But to a world desperate for relief, Koch’s remedy wasn’t so easily dismissed. As Europe’s consumptives descended upon Berlin, Koch urgently tried to prove his case. Conan Doyle, meanwhile, returned to England determined to abandon medicine in favor of writing. In particular, he turned to a character inspired by the very scientific methods that Koch had formulated: Sherlock Holmes. Capturing the moment when mystery and magic began to yield to science, The Remedy chronicles the stunning story of how the germ theory of disease became a true fact, how two men of ambition were emboldened to reach for something more, and how scientific discoveries evolve into social truths. Review “A thoughtful, patient, ultimately fascinating account of the struggle of 19th century science, and society, to come to grips with the germ theory of illness, and develop new technologies to take on one of humanity’s oldest scourges, tuberculosis.” -- Forbes “A gripping story... with great verve, painting word pictures full of color and telling detail... vividly evokes the rivalries rife in the scientific world.” -- Washington Times “An enjoyable chronicle.” -- The Wall Street Journal Immensely pleasurable... a superb narrative... [Goetz is] a fluid and elegant writer, with a knack for painting the personalities of those involved. - The Lancet “Weaves the suspense of a Sherlock Holmes mystery into a tale of ambition, obsession, scientific discovery and skepticism at the dawn of modern medicine.” - Discover Magazine “A thoroughly enjoyable and illuminating journey through several decades of European history and an intimate portrait of two once-obscure doctors who shaped it. Its a book that illustrates how the imagination and the intellect can work in concert to cure a disease, or to delight an audience of millions.” - Los Angeles Times “ The Remedy is a highly entertaining, interesting, and thought-provoking book, leaving the reader with a much deeper appreciation of how much safer - and in many ways, predictable - our lives are today thanks to the toil and efforts of men such as Robert Koch and his contemporaries. - Boston Globe “ The Remedy achieves a rare feat: serious, accurate scientific writing that is also engaging and entertaining.” -- Shelf Awareness “Goetz weaves together a compelling narrative, chronicling the struggle to find the causes and cures for some of the most ferocious diseases that have stalked humans (and animals) through time: cholera, smallpox, anthrax and tuberculosis... Perhaps most importantly, The Remedy reminds us of how far we have come, and how much we take for granted in modern medicine.” - Bookpage An intriguing medical and literary history… fascinating, convergent stories [of] doggedly inquisitive men who discovered that neither germs nor crime are any match for science. - Publishers Weekly “A beguiling real-life medical detective story.” -Kirkus Reviews The Remedy is a rare, thrilling achievement: a book that helps us understand the roots of transformative ideas that simultaneously manages to tell a story worthy of a 19th-century novel,...

It sometimes seems a great sacrifice to dedicate one’s life to a truth or a belief. Yet because of this unselfish application of certain individuals, truth takes on real meaning. I humbly acknowledge my gratitude to the mentors I have had who have, through their dedication, helped me to put light in dark places. I hope I have used their knowledge wisely for the benefit of the wholistic healing arts and mankind. -B.J. Iridology has been something of an orphan. No healing art in particular has seen fit to adopt it, to be identified with it. It is a fact of life that most new concepts are at first rebuffed. I have found iridology to be a most useful tool. Married to nutrition, it has been indispensable in practice. As with nutrition and all things ahead of their time, I believe, iridology’s day in the sun is in the process of arriving. -D.V.B.

-Titulo Original : Coping With Concussion And Mild Traumatic Brain Injury A Guide To Living With The Challenges Associated With Post Concussion Syndrome And Brain Trauma-Fabricante : Avery-Descripcion Original: Endorsed by the leading professional experts in the field of brain injury, Coping with Concussion and Mild Traumatic Brain Injury, is a must-have guide for managing life in the aftermath of concussion. Often presenting itself after a head trauma, concussion-- or mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI)-- can cause anxiety, chronic migraines, depression, memory, and sleep problems that can last for years, referred to as post concussion syndrome (PCS). Easy-to-read and informative, this book is an invaluable resource for understanding concussion, post concussion syndrome (PCS) and traumatic brain injury (TBI), as well as overcoming the challenges associated with these conditions. Neuropsychologist and concussion survivor Dr. Diane Roberts Stoler is the authority on all aspects of the recovery process. Coping with Concussion and Mild Traumatic Brain Injury is a lifeline for patients, parents, and other caregivers navigating the concussion course. From Booklist Concussions are more common than most folks might imagine. While the majority of mild traumatic brain injuries are the result of motor vehicle accidents, other causes include falls, physical assault and abuse, athletic injuries, and blast injuries. Outcomes can be unpredictable: permanent symptoms, problems that come and go, or complete recovery. Post-concussion syndrome (PCS) is diagnosed when symptoms do not abate within two weeks of onset. Certified health and sports neuropsychologist Stoler, who is herself a brain-injured patient, and coauthor Hill thoroughly cover the treatment of PCS symptoms, including headache, fatigue, balance and coordination disturbances, chronic pain, reduced memory and concentration, sleep difficulty, and behavioral troubles. Financial and insurance issues, rehabilitation, family dynamics, and emotional problems are also addressed. Stoler and Hill provide a practical guide for individuals coping with concussion symptoms and a useful resource for family members and caregivers. The neuroplasticity of the human brain-the organ’s ability to regroup and rebuild-is notable. Still, patience is paramount in the sphere of post-concussion syndrome. --Tony Miksanek From the Inside Flap Coping with Concussion and Mild Traumatic Brain Injury is a long-awaited prescription for the millions who experience a so-called mild TBI and for their families and care providers. Incorporating detailed information, practical suggestions, and personal insights, Dr. Stoler has compiled a must-have encyclopedia for managing life after concussion. -Susan H. Connors, President and CEO, Brain Injury Association of America From the Back Cover Every thirteen seconds, a concussion/mild traumatic brain injury happens somewhere in the world, whether its from an automobile accident, assault, fall, blast injury, or sports collision. Unfortunately, many of those affected will suffer post concussion syndrome (PCS), which consists of chronic fatigue, headaches, depression, memory issues, sleep problems, and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) that can last for years. In Coping with Concussion and Mild Traumatic Brain Injury, Dr. Diane Roberts Stoler, a neuropsychologist, practicing board-certified health and sports psychologist, and a multiple-concussion survivor herself, sets out to cover every aspect of this often mystifying condition. Using clear, easy-to-understand language, Dr. Stoler and Barbara Albers Hill explain the most common physical, mental, and psychological symptoms of brain injury and offer practical suggestions for dealing with each problem. Complete with traditional, complementary, and alternative treatment options, suggestions for overcoming obstacles, and advice on financial matters, Coping with Concussion and Mild Traumatic Brain Injury is a lifeline for patients, families, and other caregivers.

-Titulo Original : Your Face Never Lies What Your Face Reveals About You And Your Health, An Introduction To Oriental Diagnosis-Fabricante : Avery-Descripcion Original: A quick glance in the mirror can tell you much about your health. The shape of your face alone reveals a great deal. Your posture, skin tone, facial structures, and handwriting can tell you even more. They all reflect the vitality of your constitution at birth, the quality of your diet, and the strengths and weaknesses of your internal organs. Your Face Never Lies will lead you beyond the narrow limits of western medicine. Much more than a tool for helping those who are ill, the ancient skill described by macrobiotics expert Michio Kushi, will help you to better understand yourself, your life, and your relationship with nature. And, through the enhancement of your inherent observational abilities, this time-proven technique can begin to benefit you and those around you in only a few days. About the Author Michio Kushi (1926-2014) was a leading figure in the macrobiotic movement. He began his study of macrobiotics more than fifty years ago and went on to establish the Kushi Institute in Massachusetts. As the leading voice in the macrobiotic community, he was the bestselling author of more than twenty books on the macrobiotic lifestyle. Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. Introduction Oriental Diagnosis The medicine of China, Japan and other countries of the Far East is among the oldest in the world. This medicine can teach us a great deal that can be practically applied today. The basic philosophy of Oriental medicine is the complementary opposite of the kind of medicine currently practised in the West. Western medicine, with its emphasis on the treatment of symptoms by drugs and surgery, is increasingly powerless to cope with the rising tide of degenerative illness that now threatens to engulf the industrialised world. Clearly we need to supplement our mainly symptomatic medicine with a medicine that is preventive in direction and humane and economical in application. Oriental medicine can contribute greatly to filling this need. The standard Oriental writings on the causes of disease stressed the relationship between an individual’s health and his or her diet, activity, spiritual attitude and total environment. No single aspect of human life was considered separate from another. The biological, psychological and spiritual were seen as related aspects of the totality. The practitioner was an adviser and teacher who could point out the source of a health problem and give practical suggestions for changes in life style that could ameliorate the problem at its source. In Western medicine, diagnosis identifies a disease by observation of its symptoms. The experienced Oriental diagnostician, however, can foresee the development of sickness before the sick person has specific symptoms such as pain. The principal tool of Oriental diagnosis is physiognomy - the art of judging a person “from the features of the face or the form and lineaments of the body generally” (Oxford English Dictionary). The basic premise of Oriental physiognomy is that each individual represents a walking history of his or her development. The strengths and weaknesses of our parents, the environment we were brought up in, and the food we have eaten are all expressed in our present condition. Our posture, the colour of our skin, the tone of our voice and other traits are externalisations of the condition of our blood, organs, nervous system, and skeletal structure, which in turn are the result of our heredity, diet, environment, and activity. The secret of diagnostic skill is to recognise the signs of a particular set of changes before they become serious - to see the signs that stones are developing in the kidneys, that the heart is becoming expanded, or that a cancer is developing - even before these symptoms bring pain and discomfort. This type of diagnosis depends completely on the practitioner developing his or her own sensitivity and understanding fully the principles that underlie t...

Now, in The Lyme Solution, Dr. Darin Ingels shares his revolutionary approach to treating and healing acute and chronic Lyme. Drawing on his experience as a naturopathic physician who has treated thousands of cases, and as a patient, Ingels reveals that Lyme is an autoimmune disease as much as it is an infection.

The Lyme Solution offers a simple, five-step plan, including: * the most effective early treatment and prevention measures to avoid contracting the disease or stop it in its tracks; * an Immune Boosting Diet and list of herbal supplements that will increase immunity and reduce inflammation; * guidelines for when and how to use antibiotics as an effective part of your treatment plan; * tools to identify and eliminate conditions that mimic Lyme disease or exacerbate your symptoms.

Introduction As an aspiring teenage bodybuilder in the mid-1980s, I was initiated intothe world of body transformation. That’s when I began learning a philosophyand methodology so effective for getting lean, I was ultimately ableto achieve body fat as low as 3.7 percent while at my competition peak. To giveyou some idea of what that means, the average male has about 17 percent bodyfat and the average female has about 25 percent. If you want to see six-pack abs,you’ll usually need to drop to under 10 percent body fat if you’re male anddown to about 15 percent or so if you’re female.Three percent is essential body fat in men, which is the amount necessaryjust to stay healthy. This means my body fat got so low, virtually no fat was leftbeneath my skin. People told me I looked like a walking anatomy chart. Inbodybuilding vernacular, the word for that is “ripped.” Mind you, I’m not naturallylean. Before I learned how to cut body fat, I’d never seen my abs. In fact, Iwas a slightly chubby freshman in high school, embarrassed to take my shirt offfor swimming class. How things changed. By my twenties, I became a multititle winner in bodybuilding and got so leanand muscular that many people thought I was taking steroids or fat-burning drugs.The truth is, I have never taken a banned or illegal performance-enhancingsubstance in my life. I developed my physique naturally with nutrient-dense food,a carefully controlled calorie intake, progressive resistance weight training, the rightdose of cardio, a mind focused on well-formed goals, strong emotional drive, anda great support system of friends, training partners, and mentors.I realized, of course, that most people had no interest in bodybuilding. Nevertheless,I was sure the type of nutrition programs I was using for fat reductionwith such success could work for others even if they had more modest goals. SoI co...

ABC News reports that underground cannabis industry produces $35.8 billion in annual revenues.

It covers everything from a brief history of hemp to an insiders perspective on a growing season in Mendocino County, where cannabis drives 80 percent of the economy. Doug Fine follows one plant from seed to patient in the first American county to fully legalize and regulate cannabis farming. He profiles a critical issue to lawmakers, media pundits, an ordinary Americans.

Review Well-researched.... eye-opening and persuasive. - Bill Maher, The New York Times Book Review Praise for Too High to Fail: Fine examines how the American people have borne the massive economic and social expenditures of the failed Drug War, which is as unconscionably wrong for America as segregation and DDT.

It’s the kind of humor that builds gradually, that sneaks up on you with such stealth that you hardly even realize what a good time you’re having until it’s all over. By the end of Farewell, My Subaru you can think of nothing that would seem like more fun than hanging out at Fine’s ranch, vainly striving to keep his goats from eating the rose bushes. Think James Herriot’s All Creatures Great and Small - updated as appropriate for the iPod generation.” - Salon Well-researched.... eye-opening and persuasive. - Bill Maher, The New York Times Book Review About the Author Doug Fine is the author of two previous books, Not Really an Alaskan Mountain Man and Farewell, My Subaru (a Boston Globe bestseller).

-Titulo Original : Unconscious Putting Dave Stocktons Guide To Unlocking Your Signature Stroke-Fabricante : Avery-Descripcion Original: The Pro Tours Hottest Coach (Golf Digest) reveals the secrets that helped Phil Mickelson win the 2010 Masters and can utterly transform every players game. When a resurgent Phil Mickelson won the Tour Championship in September 2009, he was quick to credit a series of simple putting lessons from veteran golf champion and instructor Dave Stockton. As a top coach, Stockton has taught a long list of pro players-including Annika Sorenstam, Yani Tseng (winner of four LPGA tournaments), Adam Scott (Texas Open champion), Hunter Mahan (Phoenix Open champion), and Morgan Pressel (World Ladies Championship of Japan winner)-the putting strategies that finessed their game. Stocktons breakthrough concept is that every player has their own Signature Stroke, which is unconscious. Good putting comes from the mind, Stockton says, not from a series of stiff mechanical positions. With visualization, the right frame of mind, an efficient pre-putt routine, and connection to the individual internal stroke signature, any player can make far more putts. Putting has always been taught as an offshoot to the full swing, when in reality it is far different- almost a different game. Unconscious Putting will help players get out of the rigid, mechanical, overthinking trap. In Unconscious Putting, Stockton shows how players at every handicap level-from pros to weekend golfers-can putt effortlessly and with confidence by integrating a new mental approach with a few simple physical routines that will keep them locked on target. Readers will also gain invaluable advice on reading greens and equipment. Illustrated throughout and filled with anecdotes about how Stocktons lessons have helped todays leading players, Unconscious Putting is a must-have golf book and a category classic-in-the-making.
