“An indispensable guide for anyone who wants to live to age 100—by making sure there’s a livable world when you get there.” —Dan Buettner, New York Times–bestselling author of The Blue Zones Do you consider yourself an environmental ally? Maybe you recycle your household goods, ride a bike, and avoid too much air travel. But did you know that the primary driver of climate change isn’t plastics, or cars, or airplanes? Did you know that it’s actually our industrialized food system?

The founder and president of PETA, Ingrid Newkirk, and bestselling author Gene Stone explore the wonders of animal life with “admiration and empathy” (The New York Times Book Review) and offer tools for living more kindly toward them. In the last few decades, a wealth of new information has emerged about who animals are: astounding beings with intelligence, emotions, intricate communications networks, and myriad abilities. In Animalkind, Ingrid Newkirk and Gene Stone present these findings in a concise and awe-inspiring way, detailing a range of surprising discoveries, like that geese fall in love and stay with a partner for life, that fish “sing” underwater, and that elephants use their trunks to send subsonic signals, alerting other herds to danger miles away. Newkirk and Stone pair their tour through the astounding lives of animals with a guide to the exciting new tools that allow humans to avoid using or abusing animals as we once did. Whether it’s medicine, product testing, entertainment, clothing, or food, there are now better options to all the uses animals once served in human life. We can substitute warmer, lighter faux fleece for wool, choose vegan versions of everything from shrimp to marshmallows, reap the benefits of animal-free medical research, and scrap captive orca exhibits and elephant rides for virtual reality and animatronics. Animalkind provides a fascinating look at why our fellow living beings deserve our respect, and lays out the steps everyone can take to put this new understanding into action.

A compelling look at animal welfare and factory farming in the United States from Mercy For Animals, the leading international force in preventing cruelty to farmed animals and promoting compassionate food choices and policies. Nathan Runkle would have been a fifth-generation farmer in his small midwestern town. Instead, he founded our nation’s leading nonprofit organization for protecting factory farmed animals. In Mercy For Animals, Nathan brings us into the trenches of his organization’s work; from MFA’s early days in grassroots activism, to dangerous and dramatic experiences doing undercover investigations, to the organization’s current large-scale efforts at making sweeping legislative change to protect factory farmed animals and encourage compassionate food choices. But this isn’t just Nathan’s story. Mercy For Animals examines how our country moved from a network of small, local farms with more than 50 percent of Americans involved in agriculture to a massive coast-to-coast industrial complex controlled by a mere 1 percent of our population—and the consequences of this drastic change on animals as well as our global and local environments. We also learn how MFA strives to protect farmed animals in behind-the-scenes negotiations with companies like Nestlé and other brand names—conglomerates whose policy changes can save countless lives and strengthen our planet. Alongside this unflinching snapshot of our current food system, readers are also offered hope and solutions—big and small—for ending mistreatment of factory farmed animals. From simple diet modifications to a clear explanation of how to contact corporations and legislators efficiently, Mercy For Animals proves that you don’t have to be a hardcore vegan or an animal-rights activist to make a powerful difference in the lives of animals.

From the legendary founder of Atari and Chuck E. Cheese’s and Steve Jobs’s first boss, the secrets to finding, hiring, keeping, and nurturing creative talent. The business world is changing faster than ever, and every day your company faces new complications and difficulties. The only way to resolve these issues is to have a staff of wildly creative people who live as much in the future as the present, who thrive on being different, and whose ideas will guarantee that your company will prosper when other companies fail. A celebrated visionary and iconoclast, Nolan Bushnell founded the groundbreaking gaming company Atari before he went on to found Chuck E. Cheese’s and two dozen other companies. He also happened to launch the career of the late Steve Jobs, along with those of many other brilu00adliant creatives over the course of his five decades in business. With refreshing candor, keen psychological insight, and robust humor, Bushnell explains in Finding the Next Steve Jobs how to think boldly and differently about companies and organizations—and speu00adcifically the people who work within them. For anyone trying to turn a company into the next Atari or Apple, build a more creative workforce, or fashion a career in a changing world, this book will enlighten, challenge, surprise, and amuse.

Um guia do poder dos alimentos que vai garantir saúde e bem-estar ao lado de sua família e amigos por muitos e muitos anos Infecções, diabetes, depressão, cardiopatias. Seja qual for a doença, a rotina é a mesma: após exames e consultas, a maioria dos médicos se restringe a receitar um remédio ao paciente. Tratamentos alternativos não são mencionados, e medicina preventiva parece uma realidade distante. O resultado é que milhares de vidas são perdidas prematuramente em virtude de doenças que poderiam ter sido evitadas ou revertidas. Mas não precisa ser assim. Escrito pelo médico Michael Greger, Comer para não morrer trata de um estilo de alimentação capaz de prevenir, controlar e até reverter muitas das principais causas de morte da atualidade: a dieta à base de vegetais ― ou plant-based diet, como é conhecida pelos especialistas. Com uma linguagem clara e ferramentas práticas que nos indicam o que comer, quando e em que quantidade, o livro se fundamenta em estudos acadêmicos para desmistificar a ciência por trás dessa forma de nutrição revolucionária e mostra que adotá-la está longe de ser um bicho de sete cabeças.

Tampoco falta algún secreto de toda la vida: el caldo de pollo, efectivamente, alivia el resfriado. Las historias dan el toque personal a esta obra singular, la investigación le otorga seriedad y los consejos para integrar alguno de los secretos en la vida diaria harán que tú estés enla lista de las personas que nunca enferman.«Insólito, informativo y tremendamente divertido, este original libro desvela secretos sobre la salud... que uno jamás podría imaginar.

Kniha Jak se dožít 100 let – Tajemství lidí, kteří nejsou nikdy nemocní vypráví příběhy pětadvaceti lidí, z nichž každý má vlastní tajemství skvělého zdraví – tajemství, které dává smysl a je vědecky podloženo. Patří k nim tajemství zdravé stravy – proč jíst česnek a brát vitamín C, jíst víc probiotik, stát se veganem nebo pít kvasnicový nápoj. Jiná tajemství se týkají cvičení – prospěšnost strečinku nebo zvedání činek. Tajemství spojená s životním prostředím – život v Modré zóně, pochopení významu mikrobů. Citová tajemství – udržování kontaktu s přáteli a pěstování spirituality. Tajemství tělesné zdatnosti – studená sprcha po ránu, krátké zdřímnutí přes den. A po generace předávaná moudrost: ano, slepičí polévka opravdu pomáhá. Díky osobním příběhům má kniha lidský rozměr a výzkum potvrzuje její důvěryhodnost. Jednotlivé návody vám ukážou, jak můžete sami zlepšit své zdraví a stát se dalším z lidí, kteří nejsou nikdy nemocní. Peroxid vodíku je světlemodrá kapalina, která se používá k výrobě raketového paliva, bělení papíru, odstraňování ušního mazu a čištění kuchyňské linky. Je to také tajemství, kterému vděčí šedesátiletý podnikatel Bill Thompson za své skvělé zdraví – už dvacet let nebyl nachlazený a má EKG jako dvacetiletý muž. Každé ráno si Bill ponoří hlavu do roztoku peroxidu vodíku a teplé vody a po této proceduře se cítí plný sil jako za mlada. Dvě generace zpátky byla jóga tajemnou naukou. Dnes ji praktikují miliony lidí jako součást své životosprávy. Patří k nim i Felice Rhiannonová, která cvičí jógu už dlouhá léta a přisuzuje jí hlavní zásluhu na tom, že žije životem bez stresu a nemocí. Výzkumy ukazují, že má pravdu: jóga opravdu pomáhá posilovat imunitní systém, snižuje krevní tlak, léčí deprese a úzkost a má mnoho dalších blahodárných účinků.

Tato dieta je i zdravá: mezi zásadotvorné potraviny patří olivový olej, česnek, mandle, čočka, avokádo a špenát. *** Gene Stone je spisovatel, novinář a bývalý dobrovolník Mírových sborů, který v průběhu psaní o zdraví vyzkoušel desítky způsobů léčby od hypnoterapie po biofeedback a ájurvédskou bylinnou léčbu.
