Abstract: The principles of good nutrition and safe and sensible weight reduction principles are outlined in this comprehensive, easily readable guide for individuals who want to lose weight and maintain the weight loss. Basic nutrition concepts are discussed, including the energy-yielding nutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, fats) and the six basic food groups (fruit, vegetables, starches, proteins, dairy, fats). Characteristics of a well-balanced weight loss diet and some recent popular, but unbalanced diet plans (i.e. low-carbohydrate and high-protein, low-protein, liquid protein, fad diets) are reviewed. The concept of caloric density (calories per gram of food) and differences among various calorie sources are described. The importance of fiber and water in the diet are discussed as well as dietary components for which moderation is recommened (i.e. cholesterol, triglycerides, sodium, caffeine, refined sugars).
In the first edition of the Bancroft Prize-winning Entertaining Satan, John Putnam Demos presented an entirely new perspective on American witchcraft. By investigating the surviving historical documents of over a hundred actual witchcraft cases, he vividly recreated the world of New England during the witchcraft trials and brought to light fascinating information on the role of witchcraft in early American culture. Now Demos has revisited his original work and updated it to illustrate why these early Americans' strange views on witchcraft still matter to us today. He provides a new preface that puts forth a broader overview of witchcraft and looks at its place around the world--from ancient times right up to the present.
