Описание:
Why are people getting fatter in the United States and beyond? Mainstream explanations argue that people simply eat too much “energy-dense” food while exercising too little. By swapping the chips and sodas for fruits and vegetables and exercising more, the problem would be solved. By contrast, The Neoliberal Diet argues that increased obesity does not result merely from individual food and lifestyle choices. Since the 1980s, the neoliberal turn in policy and practice has promoted trade liberalization and retrenchment of the welfare regime, along with continued agricultural subsidies in rich countries. Neoliberal regulation has enabled agribusiness multinationals to thrive by selling highly processed foods loaded with refined flour and sugars—a diet that originated in the United States—as well as meat. Drawing on extensive empirical data, Gerardo Otero identifies the socioeconomic and political forces that created this diet, which has been exported around the globe, often at the expense of people’s health.
Otero shows how state-level actions, particularly subsidies for big farms and agribusiness, have ensured the dominance of processed foods and made healthful fresh foods inaccessible to many. Comparing agrifood performance across several nations, including the NAFTA region, and correlating food access to class inequality, he convincingly demonstrates the structural character of food production and the effect of inequality on individual food choices. Resolving the global obesity crisis, Otero concludes, lies not in blaming individuals but in creating state-level programs to reduce inequality and make healthier food accessible to all.

Описание:
Anxiety disorder and bipolar disorder are two extremely isolating conditions, but if you are living with either one, you should know that you are not alone. This book is a collection of journal entries from the author's own life written while she was in the throes of suffering from both anxiety disorder and bipolar disorder in high school. The entries describe the process of her condition getting worse and worse, all the way to eventually hitting rock bottom, and then finding hope and recovering.
Having lived through it all, Alex Gerardo's poignant glimpses into her life gives readers the honest truth about the hardships and darkness that affect those dealing with these disorders, while also providing hope that there is a way through it.

Автор: Gerardo Botteri, Roberto Casazza Название: Astronomical System of Aristotle: An Interpretation ISBN: 9004525521 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789004525528 Издательство: Brill Рейтинг: Цена: 29288.00 р. Наличие на складе: Поставка под заказ.
Описание: This book shows that a rigorous study of Aristotle’s Metaphysics is not simply an exercise in the history of astronomy, but constitutes a broad inquiry into our germinal ideas about speed, motion, and the spherical nature of celestial entities, as well as the relation between theology and gnoseology. Many have heard of Aristotle’s First Unmoved Mover, the one that moves all things without being moved. Very few, however, have managed to capture the ultimate meaning of that entity. One of the goals of this book is to explore why the existence of such a First Unmoved Mover is necessary, but the journey to this end allows us to understand why Aristotle maintained that there are a total of 55 Unmoved Movers, not just one. The key is Aristotelian astronomy, little studied so far in comparison with other aspects of his thought. In this solid piece of research and free philosophical speculation that Botteri & Casazza offer us, the authors’ gaze raised to the sky—by means of the naked-eye analysis of celestial movements—leads to the reconstruction of Aristotle’s astronomical system, key to understanding his cosmology, his physics, and even his metaphysics.
This book is a revised English translation from the original Spanish publication El sistema astronomico de Aristoteles: Una interpretacion, published by Ediciones Biblioteca Nacional, Buenos Aires, 2015.

The effectiveness of treatment in veterinary medicine is determined with the help of randomized controlled trials. Research in this domain is focused on wildlife and ecosystem health, human-animal interfaces and zoonotic diseases. This book brings forth some of the most innovative concepts and elucidates the unexplored aspects of veterinary medicine using an evidence based approach. It unravels the recent researches in this field. This book is appropriate for students seeking detailed information on veterinary medicine as well as for experts.
