Losing weight is not your life's purpose. Do carbs make you fat? Could the keto diet cure mental health disorders? Are eggs as bad for you as smoking? No, no and absolutely not. It's all what Dr Joshua Wolrich defines as 'nutribollocks' and he is on a mission to set the record straight. As an NHS doctor with personal experience of how damaging diets can be, he believes every one of us deserves to have a happy, healthy relationship with food and with our bodies. His message is clear: we need to fight weight stigma, call out the lies of diet culture and give ourselves permission to eat all foods. Food Isn't Medicine wades through nutritional science (both good and bad) to demystify the common diet myths that many of us believe without questioning. If you have ever wondered whether you should stop eating sugar, try fasting, juicing or 'alkaline water', or struggled through diet after diet (none of which seem to work), this book will be a powerful wake-u...

"Dr. Harding has provided indications as to further ideas for critical investigations of the issues that he has raised and ably discussed in this very original book. This is an effort that is as outstanding as the author." Dr. John Ayotunde Isola Bewaji University of the West Indies, Mona Campus Dr. Harding's objectives in this book are clearly and judiciously stated. His methods judiciously combine conceptual analysis with relevant empirical data and he has achieved his stated objectives. His contribution to the literature is original insofar as it intensively locates debate over possibility of near death experiences in the context of a type of metaphysical theory known as 'holographic theory'. To my knowlege, no one has attempted this relocation before at the level of imaginative integration which Dr. Harding achieves. His interpretation of empirical data is essentially sound and plausible, and he has presented his material in clear and effective manner. Dr. H...

There is growing concern globally over issues of aviation safety. Awareness of previous failures and their causes is one of the most important factors in determining risks and hazards in any new operational systems. This requires experience of accidents and failures across a broad spectrum of complex systems. Every accident occurs as a result of a chain of errors, and if one of the 'links' making up that chain can be broken, the accident might be prevented - and becomes merely an 'incident'. If you collect detailed data from a range of 'incidents', relating to how they occurred, and develop a consistent method for analysing that data, you can create a potentially valuable resource to assist in accident prevention.This interesting publication proposes an original and structured approach to accident prevention. In an interesting and readable collection of accounts of major accidents, drawn mainly from the aviation industry, the author investigates incident re...

From the author of the long-running #1 bestseller StrengthsFinder 2.0 comes a landmark study of great leaders, teams and the reasons why people follow. Nearly a decade ago, Gallup unveiled the results of a landmark 30-year research project that ignited a global conversation on the topic of strengths. More than 19 million people have since taken Gallup's StrengthsFinder assessment, which forms the core of several books on this topic, including the #1 international bestseller StrengthsFinder 2.0. In recent years, while continuing to learn more about strengths, Gallup scientists have also been examining decades of data on the topic of leadership. They studied more than 1 million work teams, conducted more than 20,000 in-depth interviews with leaders and even interviewed more than 10,000 followers around the world to ask exactly why they followed the most important leader in their life. In Strengths Based Leadership, #1 New York Times bestselling author Tom Rath and renowned leadership...

Recht schnell wird man bei der Beschäftigung mit Philosophie mit ihren Themen vertraut. Doch herauszufinden, wie man Philosophie betreibt, was ein spezifisch philosophisches Argument ist, wie man gültige und ungültige Argumente unterscheidet, das erweist sich als viel schwieriger. Oft verstreicht ein ganzes Studium, ehe man dahinterkommt, denn niemand sagt einem, was das Philosophieren seiner Struktur nach ist oder sein sollte und wie man es macht. Genau das versucht Jay Rosenberg in seinem Buch. Er tritt einen Schritt hinter die Arbeit des Philosophen zurück und beschreibt, was in ihr geschieht. Man lernt bei der Lektüre zunächst, wie man Argumente sowohl ihrer Form als auch ihrem Inhalt nach bewertet. Doch das ist nur ein Teil des Buches. Rosenberg verwendet besonders viel Zeit darauf herauszuarbeiten, wie man philosophische Themen diskutiert und kritisiert. Viele komplizierte Dinge gibt es dabei zu beachten, Dinge, die in einem Logikhandbuch beispielsweise nicht zu finden sind. Ros...

Her method begins with action-filled exercises that demonstrate how to play with paint, following no rules. Subsequent step-by-step projects add planning to the mix, demonstrating how to turn loose washes into light-filled watercolours with textural effects achieved by spraying, sprinkling, pouring, squirting, or stamping paint. Engle's approach, and her results, are dramatic and dynamic. Product details Format Paperback | 144 pages Dimensions ...

Even with baby boomers retiring and greater media and research attention being lavished on older people, most gerontologists have studiously avoided examining romance among the elderly. Love Stories of Later Life is an appealing and eye-opening remedy to this neglect, as leading gerontologist Amanda Smith Barusch presents original research into what love and romance mean in older people's lives. The result is a glimpse into a world many people didn't know existed - that of romantic love in later life. Unlike superficial guidebooks that purport to help older people find a new mate, Love Stories of Later Life integrates theory and the latest research on love and the aging process. Drawing on a wealth of personal narratives collected during a landmark five-year study, the book presents the lived experiences of older adults from all walks of life. It addresses the impact of common age-related changes, both emotional and physical, on romantic relationships, and argues that love co...
