High Risk Body Size: Take Control Of Your Weight
by Funke BaffourMany people feel they've tried everything in a vain attempt to lose weight - but make the mistake of looking at eating plans, instead of the thinking that drives their behaviour. High Risk Body Size says that diets fail in the mind, not the body, and takes an exciting, challenging look at the underlying psychological reasons for excess and unwanted weight gain. It shows how to break out of the obsession with weight, and the need for instant remedies, which may in themselves become dangers to our health, and looks at why some people opt for weight loss surgery as a desperate last remedy despite its well-publicised risks. Overweight people are often misunderstood as being weak-willed, but they may simply need to learn new ways of thinking - this book shows you how.

High Spirits: The Legacy Bars of San Francisco
by J. K. DineenCommunity, heritage, architecture—oh yes, and stiff pours: these are the hallmarks of San Francisco's Legacy Bars. High Spirits leads readers on a neighborhood-by-neighborhood pub crawl in search of the city's most remarkable nightspots. Atmospheric photographs accompany descriptions of each bar's colorful history, unique architectural features, idiosyncratic owners, and quirky clientele. As we dip into one barroom after another, we see that these establishments function as unofficial cultural centers, offering kinship and continuity amid an ever-changing city; indeed, all of the bars shown are at least forty years old and sites of significant historic or cultural value as deemed by San Francisco Heritage. Whether we are following in the footsteps of Beat writers in North Beach's Vesuvio Café, tossing peanut shells on the floor of The Homestead in the Mission, or selecting jukebox songs (three for a quarter) at the Silver Crest Donut Shop in Bayview, High Spirits welcomes us as regulars at every spot, showing off the conviviality that makes San Francisco one of the great saloon towns.
High Steaks
by Eleanor BoyleEach year the average North American ingests well over two hundred pounds of animal protein. Meanwhile the global appetite for meat has increased dramatically. But feeding our meat addiction comes at tremendous cost. Maintaining our current level of consumption is ecologically impossible in the longterm and undermines our personal health and community well-being.High Steaks documents the disastrous consequences of modern large-scale industrial meat production and excessive consumption, including:*The loss of vast tracts of arable land and fresh water to intensive livestock production*Increased pollution, loss of biodiversity, deforestation, and accelerating climate change*The environmental and health impacts of too much animal fat, and of antibiotics and other chemicals in our food.Timely and compelling, this powerful book offers a modest, commonsense approach to a serious problem, suggesting strategies for all of us to cut back on our consumption of animal products and ensure that the meat we do consume is produced in a sustainable, ecologically responsible manner. At the same time, High Steaks describes progressive food policy shifts that will discourage factory farming and encourage people to eat in ways that support ecosystems and personal health.Eleanor Boyle has been teaching and writing for twenty-five years, with a focus on food systems and their social, environmental, and health consequences. As well as working with organizations aiming for better food policy, she holds an MSc in food policy and is an instructor at the Centre for Sustainability at the University of British Columbia.

Hijacked
by David A. KesslerMost people believe that it's natural to gain a lot of weight as we get older. But this is not true. Kessler knows it's not true because until about 30 years ago, we did not have a weight problem in North America. In fact, throughout history, the human body weight stayed pretty much the same. People ate the amount of food they needed and no more. Then, in the 1980s, something changed. North Americans started gaining a lot of weight. What happened in such a short time to add so many millions of pounds to so many millions of people? Something had changed in North America, but it wasn't us. It was our food. These processed foods - loaded with sugar, fat, and salt - make it almost impossible for some people to stop eating. Many years ago, the food industry managed to figure out that they could sell more food if it had a lot of sugar, fat, and salt in it. Good food should make you feel full and satisfied. But foods that are high in sugar, fat, and salt have the opposite effect on many people. Instead of easing our hunger, these foods make us want to eat more. Even when we're full, even when we're not hungry, we feel the need to eat. Hijacked helps us understand what it is that we're eating and helps us train our brains to know when to stop eating and to stop craving food.
Hijos gordos
by Martha Alicia Chavez¿Por qué un libro sobre hijos gordos? Las estadísticas nos indican que la obesidad infantil, en realidad el sobrepeso, es una enfermedad globalizada. En la vida real se les llama "gordas" y no "obesas" a las personas con sobrepeso, y este término carga un sentido emocional particular, que la autora examina a lo largo de este libro con absoluto respeto. A través de experiencias e historias que compartieron cuatro personas que fueron hijos gordos, la autora identifica la situación de cada sujeto y la estudia a fondo con su particular estilo, para ofrecer una atinada perspectiva sobre sus causas y sus posibles soluciones, y dejar claro que la problemática entraña dificultadas sociales, familiares y personales. El libro incluye además el anexo Hijos gordos: un enfoque nutricional donde la nutricionista Margarita Chávez Martinez analiza como combatir la obesidad infantil cumpliendo a la vez con los requerimientos nutricionales indispensables para el ser humano.

Hippie Food: How Back-to-the-Landers, Longhairs, and Revolutionaries Changed the Way We Eat
by Jonathan Kauffman“An outstanding food and cultural history . . . details how the concept of health food [evolved and] inspired the food co-ops and whole food stores [of] today.” —Publishers Weekly, starred reviewFood writer Jonathan Kauffman journeys back more than half a century—to the 1960s and 1970s—to tell the story of how a coterie of unusual men and women embraced an alternative lifestyle that would ultimately change how modern Americans eat. Impeccably researched, Hippie Food chronicles how the longhairs, revolutionaries, and back-to-the-landers rejected the square establishment of President Richard Nixon’s America and turned to a more idealistic and wholesome communal way of life and food.From the mystical rock-and-roll cult known as the Source Family and its legendary vegetarian restaurant in Hollywood to the Diggers’ brown bread in the Summer of Love to the rise of the co-op and the origins of the organic food craze, Kauffman reveals how today’s whole-foods staples—including sprouts, tofu, yogurt, brown rice, and whole-grain bread—were introduced and eventually became part of our diets. From coast to coast, through Oregon, Texas, Tennessee, Minnesota, Michigan, Massachusetts, and Vermont, Kauffman tracks hippie food’s journey from niche oddity to cuisine that hit every corner of this country.“An astute, highly informative food expose that educates without bias.” —Kirkus Reviews“Alongside playful prose the great joy of Hippie Food is its rich cast of characters.” —Wall Street Journal“Fascinating.” —NPR’s The Salt“Briskly entertaining . . . I thought I knew this story, but Kauffman has added a lot to it, in the way of both fresh information and narrative verve.” —Michael Pollan for the New York Times

Hiromi's Hands
by Lynne BaraschAsian/Pacific American Award for Literature - Asian/Pacific American Librarians Association (APALA)The true story of Hiromi Suzuki, a Japanese American girl who defied tradition to train at her family's restaurant, and who became one of the first female sushi chefs in New York.Growing up in New York City, Hiromi Suzuki missed spending time with her father, a sushi chef who worked long hours in the family's Japanese restaurant. So one day when she was eight years old, Hiromi begged her father to take her to the Fulton Fish Market, where he bought fresh fish. Hiromi was fascinated by what she saw and learned; by the time she was thirteen, she was ready to take the next step. She asked her father to teach her to make sushi. Little did Hiromi realize that her request would lead her to the forefront of a minor culinary revolution, as women claimed their place in the once all-male world of sushi chefs. Lynne Barasch was inspired to write this story by her daughter, who has been friends with Hiromi Suzuki since they both were in kindergarten. Hiromi's Hands is the true story of a young girl's determination to follow her dream, and a tribute to the loving family who supported her. Readers will cheer for Hiromi's success, and maybe decide to taste some sushi, too!
Hispanics of Roosevelt County, New Mexico: A History (American Heritage)
by Agapito TrujilloIn 1942, several Hispanic families left drought-devastated Encino and headed for the small, peanut-farming town of Portales in Roosevelt County, New Mexico. Among them was the Trujillo family, including five-year-old Agapito, who later became the county's first Hispanic law enforcement officer. The new arrivals did not feel welcome in Portales, which was almost entirely Anglo and a rumored "sundown" town. However, determined to put down roots and take advantage of economic opportunities, they eventually thrived. Agapito Trujillo tells the story of his family's migration to Roosevelt County alongside the struggles and triumphs of the Hispanic community with candor, grace and an obvious love for his heritage and neighbors.
