Описание: Over the past four decades, the prevalence of autism, asthma, ADHD, obesity, diabetes, and birth defects has increased substantially among children throughout the world. Not coincidentally, more than 80,000 new chemicals have been developed and released into the global environment during this same period. Today the World Health Organization attributes more than one third of all childhood deaths to environmental causes. Children and Environmental Toxins: What Everyone Needs to Know offers an authoritative yet accessible question-and-answer guide to the"silent spring" of environmental threats to children`s health. As the burdens of environmental toxins and chronic disease continue to defy borders, this book will be an invaluable addition to the conspicuously sparse literature in this area.
Описание: "A young woman`s journey from vegetarian PETA activist to blood-and-guts-eating omnivore. GROWING UP IN a household of food-loving Italian-Americans, Marissa Landrigan was always a black sheep-she barely knew how to boil water for pasta. But at college, she thought she`d found her purpose. Buoyed by animal rights activism and a feminist urge to avoid the kitchen, she transformed into a hardcore vegan activist, complete with shaved head. But Landrigan still hadn`t found her place in the world. Striving to develop her career and maintain a relationship, she criss-crossed the U.S. Along the way, she discovered that eating ethically was far from simple-and cutting out meat was not the answer. As she got closer to the source of her food, eventually even visiting a slaughterhouse and hunting elk, Landrigan realized that the most ethical way of eating was to know her food-whether meat or vegetable-and prepare it herself, on her own terms, to eat with family and friends. Part memoir and part investigative journalism, The Vegetarian`s Guide to Eating Meat is as much a search for identity as it is a fascinating treatise on food."--

Murderers, thieves, cheaters and scammers have all made their mark on the tiny towns of Mount Desert. This book will take the reader on a tour of the misadventures and misfortunes that punctuate the island`s wealthy and privileged past.
