Since its publication in 2006, Marion Nestle’s What to Eat has become the definitive guide to making healthy and informed choices about food. Praised as radiant with maxims to live by in The New York Times Book Review and accessible, reliable and comprehensive in The Washington Post, What to Eat is an indispensable resource, packed with important information and useful advice from the acclaimed nutritionist who has become to the food industry what . . . Ralph Nader [was] to the automobile industry (St. Louis Post-Dispatch). How we choose which foods to eat is growing more complicated by the day, and the straightforward, practical approach of What to Eat has been praised as welcome relief. As Nestle takes us through each supermarket section-produce, dairy, meat, fish-she explains the issues, cutting through foodie jargon and complicated nutrition labels, and debunking the misleading health claims made by big food companies. With Nestle as our guide, we are shown how to make wise food choices-and are inspired to eat sensibly and nutritiously.
The Mediterranean Vegan Kitchen: Meat-Free, Egg-Free, Dairy-Free Dishes from the Healthiest Region Under the Sun:A Vegan Cookbook
Coeliac disease is a life-long condition caused by a reaction to gluten, a protein found in wheat and other similar proteins found in rye, barley and oats. The symptoms can start at any age: in children a failure to thrive, irritability, diarrhoea and vomiting; in adults anaemia, diarrhoea, weight-loss, fatigue and abdominal pain. There is at present no cure for coeliac disease, but by following a gluten-free diet for life the symptoms will disappear. On a less serious note, a wheat-free diet is also a trendy dietary and lifestyle choice, which can help reduce weight, bloating and indigestion. This is the first cookbook to be created by a chef, in consultation with a nutritionist, especially for coeliacs. This book contains over 100 gluten-free recipes that have been created to tempt your tastebuds whilst managing the symptoms of coeliac disease. A gluten-free diet is also a particularly restrictive diet and this book will help you to cook gourmet-quality meals for friends and family. The first part of the book explains the symptoms and factors that can influence the condition. It also discusses how to implement good eating habits with the least disruption, essential reading for everybody with gluten or wheat intolerance. Darina Allen then uses her wealth of culinary experience to prove that gluten-free eating need not mean boring food. She has created over 100 tempting gluten-free dishes, including those that traditionally contain gluten, for example, chicken and tarragon pie, home-made lasagne, bread and butter pudding, tiramisu, banana bread and granola. Recipes are divided into meal types – breakfast, light meals, main courses, soups, salads, snacks and desserts.

When anorexia nervosa strikes an individual and her family, everyone is thrown into confusion by the mixture of emotions that emerge. One of the strongest is fear. The fear arises partially because so much is unknown. What has caused this to happen? What will happen now? What can we do about it? This book is an attempt to answer some of these questions. Unusually for a book on anorexia nervosa, this book includes sections for parents and other carers alongside a section for the sufferer herself. So often books have been written which only give one perspective. In her work with patients and families Janet Treasure has tried to ensure that family and professionals collaborate and co-operate in order to overcome the power of the illness. Many families have used and commented on various versions of this book, and have helped to form its content. Experiences and problems have been shared, and solutions generated. Anorexia nervosa is a difficult illness to experience and write about because it spans such an extreme range of severity and it can also develop in childhood and adulthood. Nevertheless, there is much common ground throughout the range. Readers are therefore encouraged to use this book as a tool box rather than a new engine and to ask the questions, ‘Is this part relevant for me?’, ‘Can I use it?’, ‘Shall I try it?’, rather than trying to fit it all into place and expecting it to run smoothly.
Slaughterhouse: The Shocking Story of Greed, Neglect, And Inhumane Treatment Inside the U.S. Meat Industry. Slaughterhouse is the first book of its kind to explore the impact that unprecedented changes in the meatpacking industry over the last twenty-five years – particularly industry consolidation, increased line speeds, and deregulation – have had on workers, animals, and consumers. It is also the first time ever that workers have spoken publicly about what’s really taking place behind the closed doors of America’s slaughterhouses.In this new paperback edition, author Gail A. Eisnitz brings the story up to date since the book’s original publication. She describes the ongoing efforts by the Humane Farming Association to improve conditions in the meatpacking industry, media exposes that have prompted reforms resulting in multimillion dollar appropriations by Congress to try to enforce federal inspection laws, and a favorable decision by the Supreme Court to block construction of what was slated to be one of the largest hog factory farms in the country.Nonetheless, Eisnitz makes it clear that abuses continue and much work still needs to be done.

Prerano preminuli hrvatski redatelj i scenarist bavio se i pisanjem proze, a ovo djelo posthumno je objavljena zbirka njegovih rukopisa koju čine kratke priče, filmske priče i jedan roman u fragmentima. Iz ovih djela raspoznaje se autorova primarno filmska vokacija, pa je način pripovijedanja nerijetko scenaristički, a strukture priča djeluju kao predložak za film ili poprište filmskih ideja.
Zbirka kratkih priča „Tužne životinje („Animals tristos) predstavlja neobični mozaik likova koji su žrtve krhkog ljubavnog ekvilibrija. Baveći se tom sudbinskom, ljudskom komedijom, priče precizno otkrivaju svakodnevne traume skrivene u odnosima žene i muškarca – nadu i ogorčenje, potresna sjećanja i pokušaje te metode da se pobijedi samoća… Preciznim i svestranim proznim pismom Punti odijeva svoje likove u ironiju i nježnost da bi ih odmah zatim ogolio do kosti koristeći snagu svoje opservacije i zapažanja. Lajtmotiv ili crvena nit svih priča jest starorimska svevremenska dijagnoza ‘post coitum, animal triste’, neograničena i posvemašnja žalost nakon vođenja ljubavi. Odgovor na jednu takvu neospornu istinu pisac pronalazi u mogućnosti da se s time jednostavno šalimo, odnosno da se zbog toga smijemo. *** Jordi Punti (1967.), rođen u Barceloni, suvremeni je katalonski autor, prevoditelj i stalni suradnik kulturne rubrike španjolskih dnevnih novina ‘El Pais’, za koje piše i književnu kritiku. Do sada je objavio dvije zbirke kratkih priča „Pell d’armadillo, 1998. i „Animals tristos, 2002., od kojih mu je druga bila nominirana za nagradu ‘Booker’ 2003., a iste je godine zauzela treće mjesto na bestseler listi svih djela objavljenih na hispanoameričkom kulturnom području. Prema knjizi snimljen je i film.
Glavni je lik ovog romana Tin (Martin) Rondolfo, ugledni hrvatski pravni stručnjak rođen u Rijeci 1942. godine. Po završetku studija Tin počinje raditi u struci i ubrzo stječe status iznimno uspješnog odvjetnika kojemu nije cilj zaraditi nizanjem sudskih sporova, već pomiriti sukobljene strane i naći rješenje pa baš stoga i dobiva naziv Mirotvorac. Zbog velike popularnosti vlasti ga miču iz Hrvatske i »usmjeravaju« prema Strasbourgu i Europskom sudu za ljudska prava gdje će također imati puno uspjeha, da bi se potom po povratku u Hrvatsku proslavio u slučaju suđenja za jedno mučko ubojstvo za koje je vezan i naslov romana. Uz pravo Tin se zanima i za brojna druga područja, od umjetnosti do znanosti, pri čemu zastupa ideju kako se snagom misli (»Sve je u glavi!«, često govori) može učiniti mnogo više no što se to obično pretpostavlja. Taj duh znanstveno radoznalog pristupa životu on ukrašava i aktivnostima te vrste pa, primjerice, osmišljava i izgrađuje na svojoj kući vjetroorgulje, odnosno u suradnji s prijateljem kardiokirurgom izrađuje poseban pacemaker s litijevim baterijama koji bitno usporava rad srca, odnosno produžuje životni vijek.

Drugi roman Audrey Niffenegger, autorice svjetskog hita, „Žena vremenskog putnika“, počinje pismom koje će promijeniti sudbinu svih likova. Julia i Valentina Poole dvadesetogodišnjakinje su, blizanke, koje, čini se, ne zanima posebice ni studij ni posao. Odnos im je neobično snažan. Jednog jutra poštar u njihovu kuću u predgrađu Chicaga donosi debelu omotnicu. U pratećem pismu londonski odvjetnik obavještava Valentinu i Juliju da je Elspeth Noblin, njihova tetka koju nikada nisu upoznale, umrla od raka i ostavila im stan u Londonu. Nasljedstvo dobivaju pod dvama uvjetima: moraju živjeti u njemu godinu dana prije no što ga prodaju, no njihovi roditelji ne smiju kročiti u njega… Audrey Niffenegger vraća se na književnu scenu romanom o ljubavi, identitetu, tajnama i žilavosti života, čak i nakon smrti.
