101 Facts You Should Know About Food - PDF
101 Facts You Should Know About Food - PDF
نویسندگان: John Farndon خلاصه: A ll food is, of course, chemicals, but processors add a vast range of extra chemicals, so-called additives, to food – and these additives have become a gigantic business. Today, there’s barely a food you can buy that does not contain at least some additives. In his book Fast Food Nation, Eric Schlosser describes how the New Jersey Turnpike in the USA is lined by vast flavour plants which despatch carefully balanced chemical brews to give flavour to everything from takeaway pizzas to microwave curries. On average, people in the developed world consume 6–7kg of chemical additives every year. Food processors sometimes defend the use of additives by saying that they are used to make food last longer and kill bacteria. In fact, barely 1% of additives are preservatives or antioxidants designed to prevent food going rancid. Around 90% are flavourings added to make the food more enticing, or, more commonly, to make up for natural flavour lost during the manufacturing process. Other chemicals are added to help the food survive processing, such as emulsifiers to ensure that oil and water stay mixed, and anti-caking agents to prevent powders sticking. Most developed countries have a long list of 500 or so chem- icals that can legally be added to food. Although some additives have familiar names like sugar and salt, many are known by com- plex chemical names, such as butylated hydroxyanisol, which mean nothing to those outside the additive business.

Uncle Sam Wants You: World War I and the Making of the Modern American Citizen - PDF
نویسندگان: Christopher Capozzola خلاصه: In April 1917, the United States embarked on World War I--with little history of conscription, an army smaller than Romania's, and a political culture that saw little role for the federal government other than delivering the mail. Uncle Sam Wants You tells the gripping story of the American homefront in World War I, revealing how the tensions of mass mobilization led to a significant increase in power in Washington.Christopher Capozzola shows how, in the absence of a strong federal government, Americans at first mobilized society by stressing duty, obligation, and responsibility over rights and freedoms. In clubs, schools, churches, and workplaces, Americans governed each other. But the heated temper of war quickly unleashed coercion on an unprecedented scale, making wartime America the scene of some of the nation's most serious political violence, including notorious episodes of outright mob violence. To solve this problem, Americans turned over increasing amounts of power to state institutions. In the end, whether they were some of the four million men drafted under the Selective Service Act or the tens of millions of homefront volunteers--or counted themselves among the thousands of conscientious objectors, anti-war radicals, or German enemy aliens--Americans of the World War I era created a new American state, and new ways of being American citizens.Based on a rich array of sources that capture the voices of both political leaders and ordinary Americans, Uncle Sam Wants You offers a vivid and provocative new interpretation of American political history.

Wonder When You'll Miss Me: A Novel - PDF
نویسندگان: Amanda Davis خلاصه: At fifteen, Faith Duckle was lured under the bleachers by a bunch of boys and brutally attacked. Now, almost a year later, a newly thin Faith is haunted by her past and by the flippant, cruel ghost of her formerly fat self who is bent on revenge. Faith eventually turns to violence for retribution, forcing her to flee home in search of the only friend she has -- a troubled but caring busboy who is the lover of a sideshow performer -- and to tumble into the colorful, transient world of the circus. But as she dives headfirst into a world of adult passions and dreams, mercurial allegiances, and exhilarating self-discovery, Faith must also face some disturbing truths about herself and the world around her.

Business Heroes: Making Business Renewal You Personal Crusade - PDF
نویسندگان: Sandy Dunlop خلاصه: Whenever an individual or team embarks on a mission of radical innovation or change, a journey into new and unmapped territory starts. Business Heroes provides a roadmap for the brave characters who seek to take themselves and their organizations into a new and unimagined future. This journey is ridden with danger but inspired by Merlin, Odysseus, Siddharta, Agamemnon and St. George you can achieve those apparently impossible changes everyone in the organization has been telling you will never happen. Ultimately Business Heroes is about success. But this kind of success is achieved not just by ‘strength of will’ or ‘good intentions’ but through wisdom. This ‘old’ wisdom comes from the experience (and stories) of successful heroes, not from the knowledge gained in business schools. By traveling the journey wisely you gain the confidence and power to finally achieve the personal and organizational growth you’ve dreamed of.
Beyond You and Me - Original PDF
Beyond You and Me - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Kosha Anja Joubert خلاصه: This book was conceived and birthed as part of Gaia Education and as a deepening of the Social Dimension of the Ecovillage Design Education (EDE) curriculum. Many people, including all the writers have given their energy freely, in order to support this project, because it was worth it to them. They have wanted to reach out to you with their experience and their knowledge, hoping to inspire you and ease your way into building sustainable community wherever you are. The next Buddha will not take the form of an individual. The next Buddha may take the form of a community; a community practising understanding and loving kindness, a community practising mindful living. This may be the most important thing we can do for the survival of the earth. T h i c h N h aT ha N h We need a more peaceful world, growing out of more peaceful families and neighbourhoods and communities. To secure and cultivate such peace, we need to love others, even our enemies as well as our friends. howa r d w hu N T e r Archaeological evidence shows that the primordial pattern for human beings is to gather together in relatively tightly knit, clan-sized groups closely aligned with nature. Today, we need consciously to reinvent cooperative and harmonious ways of living together. For people raised within the hyper- individualized paradigm, or in settings where people come from diverse or even warring factions, learning the subtleties of constructive and mutually beneficial interaction within a community setting may take a major effort. Rebuilding human community is an endeavour whose immense challenges should not be underestimated.
