New Releases by Peter Moore

Dr. Travis Stork, cohost of The Doctors, cares about the state of your abdomen. Why? Because when he''s not on TV, he works in the E.R. at Vanderbilt Medical Center. And his years of training and experience have told him that the one of the very first vital signs to check—one of the most important determining factors in whether a patient will recover from illness and injury, or face a future of disease, pain, and disability—is how much belly fat they''re carrying. In fact, visceral fat—the kind that clings to your waistline and infiltrates your internal organs—is not only unsightly, it also sets you up for a host of health woes, including diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. So fighting belly fat is the same thing as fighting for your life! But now, Dr. Travis, America''s top urgent-care doctor, has written the ultimate prescription for curing dangerous belly fat. His revolutionary PICK 3 TO LEAN plan lets you customize your diet and lifestyle to start melting away belly fat, without giving up your favorite foods, without spending hours in the gym, without really sacrificing anything—except belly fat! If you love snacking, if you love desserts, if you love burgers and steaks, if you love big, hearty breakfasts, there''s a plan in here for you. With tiny tweaks to the foods you already love and enjoy, you''ll begin to see the pounds disappear in just days! Plus, Dr. Travis explains the magic of N.E.A.T.: non-exercise activity thermogenesis, a fancy way of saying "burn more calories without exercising!" You pick the lifestyle you''re most comfortable with. You decide which foods you want to eat. You choose what fun activities you want to enjoy. With The Lean Belly Prescription, you will have a plan custom-designed by you—with the help of Dr. Travis—that''s scientifically proven to strip away up to 15 pounds in just 4 weeks. With The Lean Belly Prescription, you''ll find yourself eating more the foods you love, spending more time doing the things you love, and having more fun with the people you love. Dr. Travis will teach you how to do that because The Lean Belly Prescription is a whole-life plan, taking in variables other diets don''t consider, and offering weight-loss opportunities you didn''t know you had. The result: a prescription plan you''ll love, and stay on for the rest of your life because of how it makes you feel.

Imaging of Biological Materials presents the four most important approaches to the imaging of biological structures: crystallography, non-crystallographic diffraction, optical microscopy, and electron microscopy.

In the peaceful Worcestershire village of Oddingley farmers are returning from Midsummer Day festivities, shadows are lengthening on the June grass, and the Reverend George Parker is making his daily excursion to fetch his cows from pasture. It was a day like any other, but the events of this day would resonate for years to come, and the name of the village would be blackened for centuries. The brutal murder of the Reverend George Parker in 1806, shot and beaten to death, his body left smouldering in his own glebe field, rocked the country''s media from Edinburgh to London in its time and the legend is still discussed in local pubs to this day. The investigation lasted twenty-four years over numerous trials and inquests, responsibility passing from one fervent judge or coroner to the next, each more determined to solve this gruesome crime. Unravelling the story of the murder, Peter Moore takes us back to the day when George Parker first arrived in Oddingley, to the feuding over church tithes, the machinations of powerful local farmers, the hidden evidence and fevered prison confessions, so we can almost smell the stench of fear and threat in the air. With a cast of characters straight out of the pages of Dickens or Hardy, and an atmosphere ripe with suspicion as Britain lives through the Napoleonic Wars, Damn His Blood is a gripping true story of moral corruption, greed and ruthlessness brought vividly to life.

Peter Moore left the city behind in 1952 to become part of a dying breed—a long distance drover. In My Droving Days we follow his progress through the 1950s as he rubs shoulders with the larger-than-life characters—and their dogs and horses—who trekked along the outback stock routes of western Queensland and New South Wales. Meet the world''s worst cattle dog and the station hand, Charlie, who blows a laden outside toilet (and its contents) sky high; thrill to the high drama of a night rush (stampede); catch a poddy dodger in the act and live to tell the ta≤ literally get caught by a beast''s horns; take on a brown snake while collecting wild duck eggs; or shoot a few kangaroos to feed the 27 dogs in the team. My Droving Days captures the real taste of the outback and the vanishing world of the overlanders, bulldust and all.

"Sometimes in our private and passionate search for meaning some of us embrace various art forms as a medium for the souls expression. Examples of this form of spiritual expression could be found in the highest level of creativity employed in the creation of the variety of masquerades, related artifacts and effects associated with the production of the Trinidad and Tobago Carnival. My poems speak for the unheard, queries into, suggest alternatives, and exist with their own creative individuality and magnetism. In my view poetry like painted art, sculpting, expressive music and the expression of art seem to exist as a form of liaison or a type of messenger of spiritual correspondence between those inner felt undercurrent of existence and its external manifestations.xplore and attempt to redefine conventionally held concepts and beliefs in light of the species improved and expanded awareness. They also aspire to influence the subconscious mind and conscious reasoning processes to examine alternative methods of reasoning by utilizing and combining: visualization, word association with foreign rhythms and ideas from official and unofficial point of views. The poems comprising this collection make a brazen and sincere attempt to manifest these very characteristics. Through each poem I make a sincere and deliberate attempt to urge each reader to question the very nature of your existence and particularly those ideas and beliefs about reality in general and human existence which you have come to know and accept as the absolute or gospel truth. In this new-age period of heightened awareness I implore you to question and pay attention to the nature of your gut feelings your haunches and your most basic inspirations. Embark upon a personal adventure through the inner space of life with the same tenacity and enthusiasm with which we explore the outer space of physical reality. As we continue to evolve spiritually each of us should make a sincere attempt to sense the very uniqueness of our god-like being, self-worth and our natural alignment with the source of all which exists, universal intelligence or God. Additionally, we must allow our ambitions and expressions its natural freedom as they attempt to assist us in our search for meaning.

Racy, loud and an incorrigible show-off, he was the epitome of Italian machismo. He showed Peter, his less flamboyant companion, another side of Italy tourists rarely see. His name was Marcello and like Sophia from Vroom With a View he was a Vespa. Two years after riding from Milan to Rome in search of la dolce vita, Peter Moore''s life has changed dramatically. He has married Sally and she is pregnant with their first child. With fatherhood only five months away Peter reacted the way some men facing nappies and travel systems do, he panicked. But man, Peter sure found an understanding wife. Sally gave him the opportunity to go off, just this once more, to be irresponsible. For Peter this was a wild, final, two-stroke powered fling - with permission - through some of the most beautiful coastal scenery in the world on a Vespa with white go-fast stripes that brought a smile to peoples'' faces everywhere it went. From the wild, untouched corners of Sardinia and Sicily to the faded fifties glamour of the Amalfi coast, it is a journey that reveals Italy''s obsession with the sea - and getting a great tan. Like Vroom With a View this is another laugh-out-loud whilst grinding your teeth with jealousy travel memoir and they can sell its go-fast stripes off.

Travel writer Peter Moore recently invited the new love of his life, a.k.a. the girl next door, to join him on a romantic sojourn through Central America. The trip would take them into an area of the world emerging from decades of civil war, an area racked with poverty, disease and natural disasters. Over the next six months they battled hurricanes, mosquitoes, uncooperative border officials and over-sexed Mexican commuters, and along the way they learnt rather more about each other than they really wanted to. 2001.

Question: What do you do when you''re dumped by the Girl Next Door? Answer: Throw yourself into another madcap adventure and travel from Cape Town to Cairo... A week after breaking up with the GND (his travelling companion through Central America) Peter Moore heads off to Africa to lose himself for a while. In the grand tradition of 19th-century scoundrelas, explorers and romantics, Africa strikes him as the ideal place to find solitude and anonymity in the face of a personal crisis. What follows is Peter''s journey from one end of the Dark Continent to the other. Travelling the fabled Cape Town to Cairo route by any means of transport he can blag (or if he must, pay) his way onto, it''s an epic trek that sees our intrepid Antipodean experience everything from the southernmost city in Africa to the Pyramids, vast game parks and thundering falls, cosmopolitan cities and tiny villages as he journeys through the very heart of Africa. And travelling on his own, it''s inevitable that Peter falls in with a motley cast of characters and has a myriad misadventures: including coming face to face with a wild Hyena with very bad breath, crossing the treacherous Sani Pass, the highest in Africa, narrowly escaping a riot by hiding in a coffin shop, saving oil-covered Penguins in South Africa, acting as an extra in a WW2 epic, not to mention dodging 20,000 single woman trying to catch the eye of the king of Swaziland during the annual Reed Dance. And then there was the time when he was kicked out of Robert Mugabe''s birthday bash at gunpoint...

"Opened to the public in 1910, McKim, Mead & White''s Pennsylvania Station gave the traveller, visitor, and commuter alike an experience of grandeur never before seen in the United States. With its dramatic vaulted glass ceiling over its expansive main concourse, Pennsylvania Station was a monument not only to train travel but an architectural icon of New York City and one of the grandest public buildings of the 20th century. In 1962 the decision was made to demolish the station as train travel gave way to the speed of the airplane. No one could have foreseen that the destruction of Pennsylvania Station would prove to be one of the key moments in the birth of the historic-preservation movement. Visiting the station between 1962 and 1966, Peter Moore documented the station''s demise in photographs that combine elegant images of architectural form and detail. There are haunting pictures of glass and masonry stripped away from steel girders as the building is progressively destroyed. The commuters and the public seem to be unaware of what is happening directly overhead in photographs that convey a poignancy for a building lost forever."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
