101 Facts You Should Know About Food - PDF
نویسندگان: 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: 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.
Autism and Diet: What You Need to Know - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Parents have been reporting a connection between autism and diet for decades, but for many years the science behind the connection was evasive.

Understanding Depression: What We Know and What You Can Do About It - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: From a leading medical expert at Johns Hopkins, here is an up-to-the-minute, definitive guide to what s known about depression and how it can be treated.Around ten percent of North Americans suffer from depression at some point -- and more than half haven t even sought help. Now, Dr. Raymond DePaulo, one of the world s foremost authorities on depression, provides a sensitive, thorough, and reassuring book for sufferers from depression and those who care about them. This practical guide for individuals with depression and their families -- the only totally comprehensive book in the market -- shows readers how to identify the problem, then directs them to the various forms of treatment, including medications, psychotherapy, support groups, and exercise. It is one of the few books to discuss in depth manic depression, the bipolar form of depression. Dr. DePaulo discusses both mainstream (the latest medications and talk therapies) and alternative paths and reveals the truth about the dangerous fallacies that abound about depression. Comprehensive, compassionate, and grounded in the very latest research into brain chemistry, psychology, and medications, this is a definitive, landmark roadmap to one of the most devastating -- and common -- mental illnesses.
You Bet Your Life: The Burdens of Gambling - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: '' We are a nation of gamblers: pari-mutuel wagering at horse tracks; blackjack in Las Vegas; the NCAA basketball office pool; even day trading on the internet. Gambling is both our national pastime and our predominant cultural metaphor -- play the field; beat the odds; take a chance on love. Yet gambling poses serious risks to individuals and to society as a whole. Neil Isaacs -- sports historian, licensed clinical social worker, English professor, and a gambler himself for more than fifty years -- seeks to shatter the myths interfering with our understanding of gambling addiction, its causes, and its treatment. He begins by systematically debunking several commonly held beliefs, demonstrating that there is no such thing as the law of averages, that gambling is not inherently sinful, immoral, or criminal, and that money is not always the prime motivator for gamblers. Isaacs shows how habitual gambling can lead to compulsive gambling, but avoids oversimplifying this condition. Arguing against a undifferentiated interpretation of pathological gambling as a simple impulse control disorder, he draws examples from fiction, film, and his own practice to demonstrate additional ways gambling can be abused. A radical departure from established views, You Bet Your Life identifies the costs -- in dollars, people, families, and credit ratings -- of society's failure to address adequately the burdens of gambling.

It's True! You Eat Poison Every Day - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: hat’s not all. There are poisons in the fruitbowl and the pantry. You could die of coffee poisoning, salt poisoning or potato poisoning. Why don’t you? Because you don’t eat or drink enough of them. We know that 100 cups of coffee, 250 grams (9 ounces) of salt or 200 kilograms (440 pounds) of potatoes will kill an adult if taken all at once. There’s cyanide in apple pips – not a lot, but enough to give pips a bitter taste. Enough to kill a really determined apple-pip chomper. Even the oxygen we need to breathe can be lethal – pure oxygen, that is. If you breathe pure oxygen, your Vitamins, anyone? Australian explorer Douglas Mawson led an expedition to the Antarctic. He and two companions, Belgrave Ninnis and Xavier Mertz, were struggling back to base camp when Ninnis fell into a deep crevasse. With him went the sledge containing most of the food. Mawson and Mertz soon had nothing left to eat but their husky dogs. The meat was stringy, so they ate the soft livers, which were easier to chew. They became very ill – dizzy, nauseous and irritable. Strips of their skin and hair peeled away, and so did the soles of Mawson’s feet. Mertz died before they got back to base, and Mawson nearly did. We now know that the dogs’ livers contained large amounts of Vitamin A – far too much for a human to eat safely. Mawson learned the hard way that we all need a small amount of Vitamin A, but too much will kill us.

In this entertaining book full of insight and examples, Michael Roberto provides managers with hands-on recommendations on how to avoid falling into decision-making traps by getting a step ahead.” —Sydney Finkelstein, Steven Roth Professor of Management, Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth, and author of Why Smart Executives Fail and Think Again “In typical style, Mike Roberto gets right to the heart of major challenges facing businesses in today’s rapidly changing landscape.

Along the way, Roberto offers powerful insights for overcoming the “isolation trap” so many senior executives face: the trap that can keep you assuming everything is fine, while your company’s problems are spiraling out of control! • Watch your company’s “game film”–and your competitors’ Systematically understand how your company is really behaving and performing–and how you really match up • Recognize the value of “small failures” Use small problems as a window on your system–and a signal of possible weaknesses elsewhere • Get beyond the numbers, to the reality Discover why too much formal analysis can actually hide your problems–and start leveraging the value of intuition • Become a true business “ethnographer” Observe your people in their natural setting–and recognize what they’re not telling youآیا کتاب مورد نظر هنوز بر روی سایت قرار نگرفته است؟ جای نگرانی نیست! کافی است بر روی گزینه سفارش کتاب کلیک کرده و درخواست خود را ثبت کنید. در کمتر از چند ساعت کتاب شما را آماده خواهیم کرد.
