We know the specific strengths of various cities, are aware of their ranking, are able to discuss their density and growth. But what do all cities have in common, what do we know about the “lowest common denominator”? The “city as a species”, the “primal genetic material of the city”: this is the subject of A Quantum City. This colossal work is a love letter to the city and intellectual culture. We follow the fictional narrative figure, Orlando, beginning in 320 BC, on his odyssey through the Western world up to the present time. The book is divided into four interrelated chapters and can be read page by page in a discursive manner, however randomly browsing through the book also offers new and multi-faceted interpretations. Great intellectual achievements are compared with obscure and mundane events. A Quantum City offers an inspiring view of the city that is in us and around us.
Sinclair Mosley never liked working in the family restaurant. Her parents had started the business before she was born, and they assumed she would take the reign. She wanted a different future for herself. Chance O'Malley focused on his work. That's what mattered. There was no time for time for women or romance. A job offer in central Pennsylvania could be the change Sinclair's desires, even if it is the change Chance didn't know he needed. But to take advantage of it, they both will have to take a chance on love.
Shawn Baker’s Carnivore Diet is a revolutionary, paradigm-breaking nutritional strategy that takes contemporary dietary theory and dumps it on its head. It breaks just about all the “rules” and delivers outstanding results. At its heart is a focus on simplicity rather than complexity, subtraction rather than addition, making this an incredibly effective diet that is also easy to follow. The Carnivore Diet reviews some of the supporting evolutionary, historical, and nutritional science that gives us clues as to why so many people are having great success with this meat-focused way of eating. It highlights dramatic real-world transformations experienced by people of all types. Common disease conditions that are often thought to be lifelong and progressive are often reversed on this diet, and in this book, Baker discusses some of the theory behind that phenomenon as well. It outlines a comprehensive strategy for incorporating the Carnivore Diet as a tool or a lifelong eating style, and Baker offers a thorough discussion of the most common misconceptions about this diet and the problems people have when transitioning to it.
Eloquent voices from the 16th to 18th centuries presented in modernized Spanish and English translations. Many religious women were prolific, skilled, and sensitive writers; few were published authors. Most of the sisters' autobiographies, histories, letters, and poems remained in convent archives. Arenal and Schalu's research (and Amanda Powell's translations) now restore them to the canon of women's literature. Cloth edition (unseen), $39.95.
