Zombies, Vampires, and Philosophy
by Richard Greene K. Silem MohammadSince 1968's Night of the Living Dead, zombie culture has steadily limped and clawed its way into the center of popular culture. Today, zombies and vampires have taken over TV shows, comic books, cartoons, video games, and movies. Zombies, Vampires, and Philosophy drags the theories of famous philosophers like Socrates and Descartes into the territory of the undead, exploring questions like: Why do vampires and vegetarians share a similar worldview? Why is understanding zombies the key to health care reform? And what does "healthy in mind and body" mean for vampires and zombies? Answers to these questions and more await readers brave enough to make this fun, philosophical foray into the undead.

Zoobiquity
by Kathryn Bowers Barbara N. HorowitzEngaging science writing that bravely approaches a new frontier in medical science and offers a whole new way of looking at the deep kinship between animals and human beings. Zoobiquity: a species-spanning approach to medicine bringing doctors and veterinarians together to improve the health of all species and their habitats. In the tradition of Temple Grandin, Oliver Sacks, and Neil Shubin, this is a remarkable narrative science book arguing that animal and human commonality can be used to diagnose, treat, and ultimately heal human patients. Through case studies of various species--human and animal kind alike--the authors reveal that a cross-species approach to medicine makes us not only better able to treat psychological and medical conditions but helps us understand our deep connection to other species with whom we share much more than just a planet. This revelatory book reaches across many disciplines--evolution, anthropology, sociology, biology, cutting-edge medicine and zoology--providing fascinating insights into the connection between animals and humans and what animals can teach us about the human body and mind.
Zoobiquity: What Animals Can Teach Us About Health and the Science of Healing
by Kathryn Bowers Barbara Natterson-HorowitzIn the spring of 2005, cardiologist Barbara Natterson-Horowitz was called to consult on an unusual patient: an Emperor tamarin at the Los Angeles Zoo. While examining the tiny monkey's sick heart, she learned that wild animals can die of a form of cardiac arrest brought on by extreme emotional stress. It was a syndrome identical to a human condition but one that veterinarians called by a different name--and treated in innovative ways. This remarkable medical parallel launched Natterson-Horowitz on a journey of discovery that reshaped her entire approach to medicine. She began to search for other connections between the human and animal worlds: Do animals get breast cancer, anxiety-induced fainting spells, sexually transmitted diseases? Do they suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder, bulimia, addiction? The answers were astonishing. Dinosaurs suffered from brain cancer. Koalas catch chlamydia. Reindeer seek narcotic escape in hallucinogenic mushrooms. Stallions self-mutilate. Gorillas experience clinical depression. Joining forces with science journalist Kathryn Bowers, Natterson-Horowitz employs fascinating case studies and meticulous scholarship to present a revelatory understanding of what animals can teach us about the human body and mind. "Zoobiquity" is the term the authors have coined to refer to a new, species-spanning approach to health. Delving into evolution, anthropology, sociology, biology, veterinary science, and zoology, they break down the walls between disciplines, redefining the boundaries of medicine. Zoobiquity explores how animal and human commonality can be used to diagnose, treat, and heal patients of all species. Both authoritative and accessible, offering cutting-edge research through captivating narratives, this provocative book encourages us to see our essential connection to all living beings.
Zoonotic Pathogens in the Food Chain
by Denis O. Krause Stephen HendrickExamining the development, spread and transmission of zoonotic disease through the food chain from animals, through production processes to humans, this book discusses the ways modern food production systems contribute to the risk of zoonotic disease, and where mitigation strategies need to be focused. This book discusses pathogens that have recently emerged as important infections, and new trends in animal production such as organic livestock farming and raw milk consumption.
Zoya's Gift: Building a Bridge to a Global Family
by Gail McCormickStill recovering from the heartbreak of infertility, memoirist Gail McCormick and her husband volunteer to host two Children of Chernobyl for a summer reprieve from radiation exposure. Fate pairs the Seattle couple with eight-year-old Ukrainian twin sisters from Belarus—and rekindles Gail’s childhood dream to build a bridge of peace between the US and the former Soviet Union.Over four summers of mayhem and magic with the twins, a deep relationship takes root. When the girls age out of the program that brought them to Seattle, Gail confronts her Cold War fears and travels with her husband to reunite with them in Ukraine and Belarus. On this soul-making trip to a land of unspeakable loss, she celebrates life in the homes of an accordion-playing Chernobyl hero and a barefooted babushka who distills her own vodka, and—behind the remnants of the Iron Curtain—finds her place as an honorary mother and babushka in a four-generation family of former Soviets. Poignant and culturally rich, her narrative transports readers to storied cities, villages, and dachas from Kyiv to Minsk.Written with reverence, insight, humor, and hope, Zoya’s Gift illuminates the complexities, joys, and importance of reaching across political, class, and cultural divides.

\The 100-Year Life: Living And Working In An Age Of Longevity
by Lynda Gratton Andrew ScottWhat will your 100-year life look like?Does the thought of working for 60 or 70 years fill you with dread? Or can you see the potential for a more stimulating future as a result of having so much extra time?Many of us have been raised on the traditional notion of a three-stage approach to our working lives: education, followed by work and then retirement. But this well-established pathway is already beginning to collapse - life expectancy is rising, final-salary pensions are vanishing, and increasing numbers of people are juggling multiple careers. Whether you are 18, 45 or 60, you will need to do things very differently from previous generations and learn to structure your life in completely new ways. The 100-Year Life is here to help. Drawing on the unique pairing of their experience in psychology and economics, Lynda Gratton and Andrew Scott offer a broad-ranging analysis as well as a raft of solutions, showing how to rethink your finances, your education, your career and your relationships and create a fulfilling 100-year life. #65533; How can you fashion a career and life path that defines you and your values and creates a shifting balance between work and leisure?#65533; What are the most effective ways of boosting your physical and mental health over a longer and more dynamic lifespan?#65533; How can you make the most of your intangible assets - such as family and friends - as you build a productive, longer life?#65533; In a multiple-stage life how can you learn to make the transitions that will be so crucial and experiment with new ways of living, working and learning?Shortlisted for the FT/McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award, The 100-Year Life is a wake-up call that describes what to expect and considers the choices and options that you will face. It is also fundamentally a call to action for individuals, politicians, firms and governments and offers the clearest demonstration that a 100-year life can be a wonderful and inspiring one.

body rites: a holistic healing and embodiment workbook for Black survivors of sexual trauma
by shena j youngA written companion and workbook for readers seeking to reclaim their bodies as home in healing from sexual trauma. Body rites as a holistic healing journey, anchored in the practice of decolonizing healing and reclaiming body sovereignty, reaches back into indigenous roots and land-based healing. It centers remembering as a means of survival. This workbook is the first of its kind: a resource of rituals divided into four healing journeys for Black women, femmes, and nonbinary survivors of sexual assault. The experiential workbook moves beyond prescriptive self-help models by providing a gentle guide and liaison to explore the impact of sexual trauma on the mind, body, heart, and spirit. It is an invitation to heal holistically, drawing upon psychophysiology, lived body wisdom, trauma-informed embodiment practices, kinship and ancestral connections, and African spiritual practices. Most urgently, this book is a series of intimate conversations with your “self”; and remembrance that healing lives at the core of your intuition.
boredom
by Peter TooheyIn the first book to argue for the benefits of boredom, Peter Toohey dispels the myth that it's simply a childish emotion or an existential malaise like Jean-Paul Sartre's nausea. He shows how boredom is, in fact, one of our most common and constructive emotions and is an essential part of the human experience. This informative and entertaining investigation of boredom--what it is and what it isn't, its uses and its dangers--spans more than 3,000 years of history and takes readers through fascinating neurological and psychological theories of emotion, as well as recent scientific investigations, to illustrate its role in our lives. There are Australian aboriginals and bored Romans, Jeffrey Archer and caged cockatoos, Camus and the early Christians, Dürer and Degas. Toohey also explores the important role that boredom plays in popular and highbrow culture and how over the centuries it has proven to be a stimulus for art and literature. Toohey shows that boredom is a universal emotion experienced by humans throughout history and he explains its place, and value, in today's world. Boredom: A Lively History is vital reading for anyone interested in what goes on when supposedly nothing happens.

les boissons médicinales saines et les infusions de marijuana: smoothie de bourgeons de cannabis les boissons médicinales saines et les infusions de marijuana
by Rina S. GrittonLe cannabis est aussi vieux que l'humanité elle-même et est très apprécié dans le traitement et la gestion de toute une série de maladies, indépendamment de la race, des croyances et du statut social. Le cannabis peut être utilisé de diverses manières en fonction du résultat recherché. Le cannabis est sans doute l'une des plus anciennes plantes médicinales connues de l'homme et les preuves qui se trouvent sous nos yeux ont vu ces dernières décennies les gouvernements chercher à diaboliser cette plante. Au début, essayer, faire usage du cannabis pour vos boissons ou tout autre but est très éprouvant et le résultat peut ne pas être avec vous prévu, ce qui est souvent le résultat si vous n'êtes pas familier avec la plante. Pour pouvoir utiliser la plante ou les produits pour votre usage médicinal et récréatif, vous devez avoir une compréhension de base des composants de l'herbe. Vos feuilles de cannabis fraîchement cueillies ont une teneur élevée en CBDA (acide cannabidiolique) et en THCA (acide tétrahydrocannabidiolique) qui sont métabolisées en CBD et THC, qui sont bien connus pour leurs propriétés de guérison holistique. Lorsque vous utilisez les parties brutes de la plante pour vos smoothies ou vos boissons, vous consommez essentiellement du CBDA et du THCA qui n'ont pas les mêmes effets sur la tête et le corps que le CBD et le THC. Votre goût peut être différent de celui que vous obtenez à partir du produit brut, et vous recherchez peut-être cette expérience ésotérique hors du corps ou pour vous calmer après une dure journée de travail. Voici une explication simple sur la façon dont vous pouvez obtenir du CBD et du THC à partir de votre plante de cannabis.

by Macy NealPER TUTTI GLI AMANTI VEGGIE QUESTO È IL LIBRO CHE STAVI ASPETTANDO! Una dieta vegetariana deve includere un'ampia miscela di verdure, frutta, grassi sani, cereali e proteine. Per sostituire le proteine che ottieni dalla carne in una dieta, dovrai includere cibi vegetali ricchi di proteine come semi, noci, legumi, seitan, tofu e tempeh. Il consumo di cibi integrali ricchi di sostanze nutritive, come frutta e verdura, può fornire al tuo corpo i minerali e le vitamine necessari per colmare le lacune nutrizionali in una dieta. Alcune ricerche hanno scoperto che una dieta vegetariana può essere collegata a un minor rischio di sviluppare il cancro e quelli del colon, del seno, dello stomaco e del retto.

Le persone che seguono una dieta vegetariana possono mantenere livelli sani di zucchero nel sangue.

Le diete vegetariane aiutano nella riduzione di varie malattie cardiache che possono rendere il tuo cuore più forte e più sano.

low carb: Como perder peso com uma dieta de alta proteína e baixo carboidrato
by Julia PerezIntrodução Eu gostaria de te agradecer e te parabenizar por baixar o livro. Nós temos ouvido ao crescermos que carboidratos são a principal fonte de energia do corpo e que o corpo depende dele ; com o tempo aumentamos nossa ingestão de carboidratos por causa da grande importância dada á eles. Contudo , os carboidratos são o grande problema , o maior problema é que nossa dieta é muito rica em carboidratos. Uma pessoa em média toma uma xícara de chá ou café com pão, bolo de frutas ou panqueca ou uma tigela de cereal com leite. Elas então comem arroz ou uma massa no almoço , e á tarde comem um lanche rico em carboidratos como biscoitos recheados e á noite, eles comem arroz ou massa e uma sobremesa rica em carboidratos . Isso é claramente muito mais carboidratos quando o seu corpo precisa. Assim , o corpo transforma os carboidratos em glicose , e usa a glicose como energia , convertendo o excesso em gordura e armazenando-a. A gordura armazenada será usada durante a fome ou períodos que o seu corpo não precisa de glicose. Contudo , a fome não é algo com a qual os americanos precisam passar , então a gordura extra não é usada e enquanto você continua comendo mais carboidratos ; seu corpo continua acumulando mais gordura. Antes que você se dê conta, está acima do peso ou obesa e atormentada com uma série de doenças como diabetes . Se você quer perder peso , se sentir bem, e construir músculos , você precisa fazer algo para resolver essa situação; você precisa controlar a sua ingestão de carboidratos . É aí que entra a dieta de baixo carboidrato. Esta dieta é baixa em carboidrato, rica em proteína e gordura e é muito eficaz para perda de peso. Este livro vai te explicar a melhor dieta de baixo carboidrato e te ajudar a entender , o que é, como funciona, qual é seu benefício, e um plano de 14 refeições na semana para te ajudar a começar a
