Algae in Agrobiology: Realities and Perspectives
by Joel FleurenceAlgae, macroalgae and microalgae can be valuable biological resources in a new, more environmentally friendly form of agriculture known as agrobiology. Indeed, the biological properties associated with algae are frequently relevant for agricultural and zootechnical purposes. It is this aspect that is behind the current popularity of algae in the development of new agricultural practices that are related to plant and animal production, which are referred to as agrobiology. Algae in Agrobiology offers a current and forward-looking account of algae use: in agriculture and in the sector of land and marine animal production, as algal extracts and molecules in the form of fertilizers or biostimulants for crops with agronomic interest, and as algal compounds in the area of plant and animal health. This book is based on advances in biochemical and agronomic research in order to explain the conventional practices associated with the use of algae in agriculture and livestock breeding. These advances make it possible to establish possible uses for marine algal resources in the agriculture of the future.
The Alice B. Toklas Cook Book
by Alice B. ToklasA beautiful new edition of the classic culinary memoir from the famous American ex-pat with a new introduction by chef & food writer Ruth Reichl.At their home in Paris, Alice B. Toklas and her romantic partner, Gertrude Stein, entertained a circle of friends who would become the twentieth century’s most revered cultural luminaries—writers, artists, and expats, including Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Thornton Wilder, Henri Matisse, and Pablo Picasso. When the legendary Alice was asked to write a memoir, she initially refused. Instead, she wrote The Alice B. Toklas Cook Book, a celebration of a lifetime in pursuit of culinary delights.This sharply written, deliciously rich compendium combines recipes for traditional French dishes such as coq au vin, bouillabaisse, and boeuf bourguignon with amusing tales from Alice’s life and travels to rural France, Spain, and America. In “Murder in the Kitchen,” Alice describes the first carp she killed, after which she immediately lit up a cigarette and waited for the police to come and haul her away. “Dishes for Artists” describes her hunt for the perfect recipe to fit Picasso’s peculiar diet. “Recipes from Friends” highlights her infamous “Haschich Fudge,” which she notes may often be accompanied by “ecstatic reveries and extensions of one’s personality on several simultaneous planes.”With delightful line drawings, a foreword by M. F. K. Fisher, and a new introduction by culinary doyenne Ruth Reichl, The Alice B. Toklas Cook Book brilliantly captures the spirit of a unique woman and the remarkable time in which she lived.

Alice, Let's Eat
by Calvin TrillinBONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Calvin Trillin's Quite Enough of Calvin Trillin."Trillin is our funniest food writer. He writes with charm, freedom, and a rare respect for language." -New York magazine In this delightful and delicious book, Calvin Trillin, guided by an insatiable appetite, embarks on a hilarious odyssey in search of "something decent to eat." Across time zones and cultures, and often with his wife, Alice, at his side, Trillin shares his triumphs in the art of culinary discovery, including Dungeness crabs in California, barbecued mutton in Kentucky, potato latkes in London, blaff d'oursins in Martinique, and a $33 picnic on a no-frills flight to Miami. His eating companions include Fats Goldberg, the New York pizza baron and reformed blimp; William Edgett Smith, the man with the Naughahyde palate; and his six-year-old daughter, Sarah, who refuses to enter a Chinese restaurant unless she is carrying a bagel ("just in case"). And though Alice "has a weird predilection for limiting our family to three meals a day," on the road she proves to be a serious eater-despite "seemingly uncontrollable attacks of moderation." Alice, Let Eat amply demonstrates why The New Republic called Calvin Trillin "a classic American humorist." "One of the most brilliant humorists of our times . . . Trillin is guaranteed good reading." -Charleston Post and Courier "Read Trillin and laugh out loud." -Time
Alice Waters & Chez Panisse
by Thomas McnameeThe first authorized biography of "the mother of American cooking" (The New York Times) This adventurous book charts the origins of the local "market cooking" culture that we all savor today. When Francophile Alice Waters opened Chez Panisse in Berkeley in 1971, few Americans were familiar with goat cheese, cappuccino, or mesclun. But it wasn't long before Waters and her motley coterie of dreamers inspired a new culinary standard incorporating ethics, politics, and the conviction that the best-grown food is also the tastiest. Based on unprecedented access to Waters and her inner circle, this is a truly delicious rags-to-riches saga.

by Dra. Miriam Ruiz¿Quieres cambiar tus hábitos alimenticios y no sabes por dónde empezar? ¿Te gustaría identificar los productos saludables del supermercado? Si estás preocupado por tu alimentación y quieres preservar tu salud, este libro es para ti. Hoy en día el acceso y los controles de calidad de los alimentos es mayor que nunca; sin embargo, comer de forma saludable no es fácil. Algunos de los factores que lo dificultan son: 1. Los mitos, bulos y creencias firmemente arraigados sobre alimentación. 2. La desactualización y la distorsión de conceptos acerca de nutrición. 3. La inadecuada interpretación de los estudios científicos y su difusión desvirtuada por parte de los medios de comunicación. 4. El marketing y la presión de la industria alimentaria. 5. La normalización del consumo de productos ultraprocesadosy los falsos reclamos saludables. Todo esto, sumado al ritmo frenético de la vida que exige soluciones rápidas a la hora de comer, hace que la alimentación, lejos de ser algo instintivo e intuitivo, se haya convertido en todo un desafío. La doctora Miriam Ruiz, médico internista y especialista en nutrición, te enseña en Alimenta tu salud con comida real las claves para aprender a comer según las estaciones, tus necesidades energéticas, tu complexión, a distinguir los alimentos reales de los ultraprocesados, a leer bien las etiquetas y a ganar en salud con cada bocado.

Alimentação para reduzir o colesterol (Como fazer... #23)
by Owen JonesAlimentação para reduzir o colesterol O colesterol é algo que muitas pessoas temem, mas que a maioria não entende. As pessoas temem ter «colesterol», mas elas não percebem que existem dois tipos de colesterol e que têm de ter algum de ambos os tipos. Os problemas surgem do facto de ter mais colesterol do que o necessário. Isto ocorre porque o colesterol é uma substância gordurosa que pode aderir às paredes das artérias, acumular-se e causar obstrução. Isto significa que o coração precisa de bombear com mais força para enviar oxigénio e nutrientes suficientes para onde eles são necessários. Isto provoca um aumento na pressão sanguínea, que frequentemente conduz a doenças cardíacas, o que, por sua vez, leva a ataques cardíacos e AVC. Felizmente, existem três maneiras de sair desta dificuldade: alimentação, exercícios e medicamentos. Como os medicamentos têm de ser tomados diariamente e durante o resto da vida, a maioria das pessoas prefere tentar reduzir os seus níveis de colesterol sem recorrer a eles. No entanto, isso significa mudanças no estilo de vida. Muitas pessoas tentaram fazer dieta para perder peso e fracassaram. A dieta para reduzir o colesterol não é exatamente a mesma coisa, mas há semelhanças e uma dieta de perda de peso pode facilmente ligar-se a uma dieta para reduzir o colesterol.

A la pregunta "Qué dieta hago", ¿qué puntaje de 0 (la peor) a 10 (la mejor) le pondrías? Nuestras abuelas decían que los malestares intestinales se originaban en problemas emocionales y viceversa. ¿Mito o realidad? Además de brindar todas estas respuestas, La dieta alimentación inteligente te propone el mejor plan del mundo, con ilustraciones para aprender a comer y elegir los alimentos más convenientes, innovar con recetas antioxidantes, antiinflamatorias ¡y light!, incorporar recursos para cambiar hábitos y sostener logros en el tiempo, todas claves para firmar la paz con el cuerpo y la comida.
