Meditazione e Creatività: Sempre nuova
by Apo Halmyris Francesca DeganiLa meditazione e la concentrazione nelle loro forme classiche sono sempre strumenti preziosi per ampliare gli orizzonti della nostra creatività. In ogni contesto cultural e religioso, le tecniche sperimentate da secoli sono sempre attuali e nuove per noi. Questa seconda edizione sottolinea l'approccio pragmatico e offre una serie di tecniche preparatorie per un cammino attento e sicuro verso la meditazione. Per familiarizzarsi con alcuni modi per stimolare la creatività, occorrono tempo, perseveranza e attenzione. Apprendere i metodi di meditazione è impegnativo, ma è di per sé un premio. Oggi normalmente molti studenti esplorano vari tipi di corsi e di tecniche, e chiedono: perché devo fare così? Che cosa posso "ottenere" da questo? Come posso utilizzarlo? (tutte domande centrate sull'Io). Potremmo semplicemente sorridere e spiegare chiaramente alcune procedure per la concentrazione, efficaci anche per ampliare i limiti del pensiero e della creatività. E per i cercatori sul sentiero... possiamo invitarli a guardare la punta delle loro scarpe, perché il sentiero è proprio lì, sotto i loro piedi. Questo testo è un corso pratico graduale, o piuttosto un sentiero contemporaneo per proseguire la scoperta consapevole di se stessi? Le luci discrete delle lampade a olio disseminate dai maestri sono ancora visibili.

Mediterranean: Naturally nourishing recipes from the world's healthiest diet
by Susie TheodorouEating healthily has never been easier with Susie Theodorou's new book Mediterranean.

A self-confessed 'lazy cook', Susie has multiple ideas for using olives, tomatoes, tinned fish, white cheese, home-made hummus, and simple dressings for meat and fish. There are also tips on how to feed more friends with less food, how to stock a Mediterranean larder to be proud of and how to eat seasonally.And with recipes like Pan-seared Figs with Pecorino and Rocket, Charred Mixed Greens with Fennel and Lemons, Courgette and Dill Fritters, and Fish En Papillotte with Capers & Tomatoes, you will be inspired to cook up a Mediterranean feast any day of the week.

The Mediterranean Diet: Health and Science
by Richard Hoffman Mariette GerberRecent large-scale epidemiological studies have confirmed the pre-eminence of the Mediterranean diet for reducing the risk of primary and secondary heart disease and cancer. There is also increasingly convincing evidence for its protective value against diabetes, dementias and other age-related disorders, and for increasing overall longevity. The Mediterranean Diet: Health and Science is a timely, authoritative and accessible account of the Mediterranean diet for nutritionists and dieticians. It discusses the Mediterranean diet in the light of recent developments in nutritional biochemistry, disease mechanisms and epidemiological studies, and also provides advice on nutrition policies and interventions. The Mediterranean Diet: Health and Science opens with an overview of the Mediterranean diet, and this is followed by a survey of the latest epidemiological evidence for its health benefits. There is detailed nutritional information on olive oil, wine, fish, fruit and vegetables and other components of the Mediterranean diet, and this information is used to explain how the diet protects against a range of age-related diseases. The book emphasises the importance of understanding the Mediterranean diet in its totality by discussing the evidence for beneficial interactions between various components of the diet. There are also discussions of how agricultural practices, as well as food preparation and cooking techniques, influence the nutritional quality of the diet. The book concludes by discussing the social context in which the Mediterranean diet is eaten, and public health issues associated with adopting a Mediterranean diet, especially in the context of more northerly countries. Written by nutritional biochemist Richard Hoffman and a past President of the French Nutrition Society, Mariette Gerber, who between them have many years experience in this area, this exciting and highly topical boook is an essential purchase for all nutritionists and dietitians worldwide. Libraries in all universities where nutrition, dietetics and food science and technology are studied and taught should have copies of this excellent book on their shelves.
