Power of 10: The Once-A-Week Slow Motion Fitness Revolution
by Adam Zickerman Bill SchleyFitness expert Adam Zickerman presents a revolutionary exercise program—slow strength training—that will forever change the way Americans work out.Power of 10 seems to contradict nearly everything we’re accustomed to hearing about exercise. Forget hours on the treadmill, and forget daily visits to the gym. Power of 10 is based on a remarkably advanced yet simple discovery: By lifting weights in a series of ultra-slow movements that last 10 seconds each, you can stimulate lean muscle formation far more efficiently and safely than regular weight lifting or aerobics. Together with a healthy nutrition plan, Power of 10 is so powerfully effective that as little as one 20-minute workout per week is enough to build muscle, burn fat, and improve cardiovascular health at any age.
If Your Kid Eats this Book, Everything will Still be Okay: How to Know if Your Child's Injury or Illness Is Really an Emergency
by Lara ZibnersAs an Emergency Room pediatrician, Dr. Lara Zibners has seen it all. She's cared for a portion of the 25 million children in the U.S. who are taken to the ER each year-and she knows that more than 50% of these visits may be unnecessary. IF YOUR KID EATS THIS BOOK, EVERYTHING WILL STILL BE OKAY shows parents when they may need to take action, and when they might be able to just go back to bed and call their doctor in the morning. With sections such as "In the Diaper" and "His Noggin and the Nervous System," Dr. Zibners covers every part of the body and offers sound advice (for example, did you know that oil is the best remedy for dissolving superglue between body parts?), all while maintaining a lively and often hilarious tone. To the question, "What if she chokes on her vomit?" Zibners answers, "A healthy child will not choke on her own vomit, unless she is drunk or high on Grandma's sleeping pills." Finally, no more frantic late-night searches through the "why to buy,""how to diaper," or "what to feed him" sections found in other childcare books to find out if little Franny needs to go to the ER. This book focuses on the truly important questions, like how to keep her from electrocuting herself in the first place. Not every child has a pediatrician with specialized emergency room experience living in her home. But this book just might be the next best thing. Lara Zibners, MD, is a former Assistant Professor of Pediatric Emergency Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City . Currently, she divides her professional time between New York and London .

The Original Meaning of the Yijing: Commentary on the Scripture of Change (Translations from the Asian Classics)
by Xi ZhuThe Yijing (I Ching), or Scripture of Change, is traditionally considered the first and most profound of the Chinese classics. Originally a divination manual based on trigrams and hexagrams, by the beginning of the first millennium it had acquired written explanations and a series of appendices attributed to Confucius, which transformed it into a work of wisdom literature as well as divination. Over the centuries, hundreds of commentaries were written on it, but for the past thousand years, one of the most influential has been that of Zhu Xi (1130–1200), who synthesized the major interpretive approaches to the text and integrated it into his system of moral self-cultivation.Joseph A. Adler’s translation of the Yijing includes for the first time in English Zhu Xi’s commentary in full. Adler explores Zhu Xi’s interpretation of the text and situates it in the context of his overall theoretical system. Zhu Xi held that the Yijing was originally composed for the purpose of divination by the mythic sage Fuxi, who intended to create a system to aid decision making. The text’s meaning, therefore, could not be captured by a single commentator; it would emerge for each person through the process of divination. This translation makes available to the English-language audience a crucial text in the history of Chinese religion and philosophy, with an introduction and translator’s notes that explain its intellectual and historical context.

Señales en el cielo: Lo que nunca se contó. Ovnis, telepatía, mundos subterráneos y profecías
by Fabio ZerpaFabio Zerpa cuenta sus inicios, y condensa sesenta años de investigación recorriendo el mundo y entrevistando a personas que aseguran haber visto objetos voladores. Profecías, teorías, vidas paralelas y mundos subterráneos. 17 de noviembre de 1959. Fabio Zerpa, un joven actor que ocupaba un sitio incipiente pero importante en el teatro y la televisión, estaba grabando escenas en una base aérea. Durante el descanso, el piloto que hacía de su doble de riesgo lo invitó a dar un paseo en avioneta. Ascendieron a ochocientos metros de altura. Volaban señalándose curiosidades del paisaje, bromeando, cuando de pronto el piloto se puso serio y le indicó a Fabio que mirara a su izquierda y detrás. "Yo giré la cabeza para ver más allá de la cola del avión y vi algo así como un bolígrafo metálico plateado de unos ciento cincuenta metros de largo volando, siguiéndonos -recuerda Zerpa-. Increíblemente, se detuvo un instante frente a la cabina de nuestro avión. Y, de pronto, realizó un movimiento de sesenta grados y se perdió en el cielo a gran velocidad, hacia el norte. Todo en silencio. Estaba muy impresionado. Busqué en ese cielo clarísimo una nueva señal, pero nada. Así como había aparecido, había dejado su ausencia, tan enorme como mi asombro." La visión de ese objeto marcaría su destino para siempre. Como al mejor de los artistas o de los sabios, a Fabio Zerpa lo fascinó un misterio y le dedicó su vida. Durante sesenta años investigó, se entrevistó con personas de todo el mundo, y fue detrás de pistas y datos que documentó con fervor y precisión. Este libro es una historia de vida, la de un hombre que convirtió sus días en una película de ciencia ficción; pero también la búsqueda incansable y monumental de respondernos: "¿Qué hay más allá?". «Conocí a Fabio Zerpa en los años setenta. Ya era un gran investigador. Su trabajo ha sido titánico. Solo los que investigamos por las carreteras lo sabemos. La historia, algún día, le hará justicia.» Juan José Benítez

Change Your Mind, Heal Your Body
by Benjamin Zephaniah Anna ParkinsonYour body is trying to tell you what's wrong! A successful journalist-turned healer describes her innovative system of healing through the lens of her own self-healing journey. Parkinson was a busy workaholic reporter who yearned to leave her stressful job when she was diagnosed with a mysterious tumor behind her carotid artery. At first she pursued the traditional medical route, but after a series of frustrating mishaps with the medical system, she began to investigate alternative healing. Her search brought her into contact with such venerable healing philosophies as the ancient Hindu chakra and the simpler Hawaiian system. She eventually met Martin Brofman, founder of Body Mirror Healing, who taught her how to delve into her emotional blockages underpinning the illness. The breakthrough came when she realized that her body was communicating to her through the message of cancer. She ultimately developed a series of simple exercises, shared in the book, that help people better listen to their bodies and bring the energy needed to wipe away disease.
