Clean, Green, and Lean: Get Rid of the Toxins That Make You Fat - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: I expected to be disappointed by this book, but instead found it quite interesting. The basic hypothesis is that we are surrounded in our environments and in our diets by toxins; these toxins are horrible for our bodies and contribute to a vast range of symptoms; when losing weight, these toxins are released from our fat where they are stored and flood our body leading to worse symptoms. While the marketing point of the book might be on how to lose weight, it really is more holistic and is about adding detoxifiers to ones diet. It discusses foods that are bad (such as which fish have the most mercury) to foods that are good (such as blueberries and blackberries are great detoxifiers) Having expected some new age fru-fru, I was pleasantly surprised to learn a lot from the book, and it has impacted some of my eating practices, in particular with respect to a "green drink" shake a friend turned me on to,since the book puts in the basis of why various components of the drink (basically kale, chard, flax seeds, various fruits) are useful for health and cleansing. although i doubt i will take the book to some of the extremes, such as removing the carpeting from my house and getting a weekly colonic, there is much material that is worth thinking about. the weakest part for me were the recipes. there are many wonderful vegetarian, raw food and spa cookbooks out there. the recipes here, although called wonderful by the author, really are drab at best. use the book as a different perspective on what various foods can do holistically, but don't look to it as a cook book or for a step by step guide to losing weight.
Better Looking, Better Living, Better Loving: How Chemistry can Help You Achieve Life's Goals - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: John Emsley has carved out quite a niche for himself in writing popular books (not textbooks) dedicated to scientific matters in general, and chemistry matters in particular. One of his more inspired titles is "Better Looking, Better Living, Better Loving", which has a very unfortunate subtitle "How Chemistry Can Help You Achieve Life's Goals". The subtitle makes the book sound like a how-to book (Make your own mascara! Better breath through home-made mouthwash!) It is NOT a how-to book, but rather a how-it-is-done book. In a wide-ranging series of short essays, Emsley covers most consumer topics that exist at the intersection of chemistry and the personal consumer, including food, plastic containers, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, birth control, cleaning products (for humans, clothes, and dishes), etc.The beauty of this book is that it can be picked up and read starting anywhere, and is therefore an ideal bathroom book (especially since there are a lot of bathroom-related topics!) or coffee table book (again, since there are a lot of food topics!). This makes some of the topics a little repetative for someone reading the book cover-to-cover over the course of a few days or weeks, but it's a better choice for a book of this type. I think the science is readily understandable to the average person (although it might be hard for me to judge, being a chemistry teacher), and there is a glossary for more scientific terms and broadened explanations. More importantly, the science is correct and rigorous while still presented in a palatable manner.I think North American readers will notice the no-nonsense style of writing. British authors (at least, scientific ones) tend to be more forthright than their American cousins, and it's especially noticable in this book's discussions on abortion and rape - two topics that American authors would couch in more subtle terms, with at least an acknowledgement of the cultural/moral issues associated with them. Similarly, most Americans are used to hedging their bets: Emsley comes right out and tells people that they are wrong to believe that aluminum has anything to do with Alzheimers, for example, and debunks other "common knowledge" associations just as ruthlessly, if they been scientifically demonstrated to be wrong.In terms of sheer readability, I think I prefer Joe Schwarcz's books that cover similar terrain. However, Emsley's book is more focussed and logically presented. It's certainly interesting, certainly entertaining, and even the best-read chemist is likely to learn something s/he didn't know. Unfortunately, the price is excessive compared to other books of this type (even other Emsley titles) - what gives, Amazon?

Know Your Parenting Personality: How to Use the Enneagram to Become the Best Parent You Can Be - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: This book is well written and extensive in describing the nine enneagram types as they might relate to parenting. Each one includes examples of situations and potential pitfalls as well as advantages. That said, I was disappointed about a couple of things, which limited the usefulness of the book in my mind. There is a quiz at the beginning, the answers of which are supposed to tell you which enneagram parenting type you are. While the examples are fairly good, anyone who knows about the enneagram diagram knows that determining your type is rather complex and most people don't fall cleanly into only one category, but have influences from other types, i.e. wings, and move toward other types when at their best, or digress in unhealthy circumstances. While the information presented here is good, I'm afraid a fair number of readers will see themselves in multiple types and may become confused about how to proceed. Ms. Levine uses different names for the types than I've seen used in other material and makes no attempt to relate them to one another. If you know nothing about the enneagram, obviously that won't bother you, but it bothered me. I was also hoping there would be something to help parents identify their children's types since parents are not operating in a vacuum. All in all, I felt the book has value in helping parents recognize how their personality type, whatever it is, may be affecting their children in ways they didn't expect and we all want to be better parents, so that is useful, but from the enneagram perspective, it's not as detailed as I was expecting.

Someone Will Make Money on Your Funds - Why Not You: A Better Way to Pick Mutual and Exchange-Traded Funds - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: T o make the objective of this book as clear as possible, consider two very different investors, both in their late twenties. The first investor, Joe, subscribes to several financial publications. He spends an hour or two a month working on and thinking about his financial plan and his portfo- lio. He examines his account statements carefully. He reads the periodic reports from each fund he owns. Joe has also read this book. After he finished reading, Joe sold several high-cost equity funds he had been carrying in his 401(k) plan account and replaced them with a large position in a low-cost fixed-income fund and a smaller position in a U.S. total market index fund. He used most of the money market bal- ance in his personal brokerage account to buy some tax-efficient equity exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Joe used the free retirement planning software that comes with his 401(k) plan to get a clearer picture of what his financial situation might look like after retirement. He has made an ap- pointment with a financial planner to ask some specific questions. Joe is more comfortable with his financial position and his understanding of his investment risks and opportunities than he has ever been before. He is also convinced that he has improved the annual return on his portfolio by at least 2 percent. The second investor, Pete, has a few stocks in his personal brokerage account. He bought them on enthusiastic recommendations from friends, but they have performed badly. Most of the assets in his brokerage ac- count are in a low-yielding money market fund. When he joined his em- ployer’s 401(k) plan, he signed up to put 50 percent of his payroll deductions into an intermediate-term bond fund and 50 percent into a large-cap equity fund. Pete puts his unopened 401(k) statements in a drawer, hoping the fund will grow to take care of him in retirement. He has not taken an inventory of his financial assets and liabilities since he filled out a mortgage application five years ago. He does not know the ex- pense ratios or the performance of the funds he owns in his 401(k) ac- count. Pete has not read this book.
