The Cheater's Diet
by Marissa LippertSmart, sneaky, and sustainable cheating tips from one of New York's top nutritionists. Award-winning nutritionist, Glamourmagazine columnist and stylish New York City chick, Marissa Lippert understands how hard it is to stick to a plan and eat a healthy diet when you're a girl-on-the go. And she knows that if you aren't allowed to cheat, you won't want to stick to any type of plan. Here, finally, is the foolproof program for eating, cheating, and losing weight permanently. You heard it from your mother many times, "Cheaters never win. " And she was right. But in this case, cheaters always win, because (winning means losing), especially if they listen to hot New York City nutritionist Marissa Lippert. Let her teach you the art of cheating and you'll be the biggest loser ever-up to twenty pounds in eight weeks. And that's just the beginning of the good news. You'll be the leanest, fittest, healthiest and happiest you've ever been on a diet because Lippert believes that life without guilty pleasures-including drinks (yes, alcohol) and desserts-just isn't worth living. There are two kinds of cheats: the ones you do on purpose and, more frequently, the ones that catch you off guard. Whether you've binged on sweets, fatty foods or booze, Marissa has the tools to help you spring into action and maximize cheating momentum. You'll feel better and healthier if you follow her plan and you won't ruin the progress you'll make on The Cheater's Diet. Getting a grip on your schedule is the first step to cheating-planning trips to the gym, stocking up on staples at the grocery store, deciding when to cook, and knowing when and how you'll likely cheat during the week. Will it be at your office happy hour on Wednesday or an indulgent dinner date on Thursday? Girl's night out on Saturday? Take your best shot-if the dinner date is at an incredible restaurant you've been dying to try, play smart with lighter meals earlier in the week and hold out for the good stuff. Lippert shows readers, in each of the eight weeks, how to shop, how to cook and how to find the best of everything within your budget. The upshot is that eating the most delicious food whether you're cheating or not, whether you're eating in or out, is the best way to stay satisfied and control your portions. You'll want to save the cheats for something that's worth it-not junk food from the snack machine, but the best red velvet cupcake you've ever had. Not house wine, but the best Pinot Noir you'll ever taste. The better the quality the more you'll savor it, and the less you'll eat--and that's true of healthy food too. Buy a great bottle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil and suddenly salads won't be a punishment for a night of cheating. They'll feel like your naughty days. Eight weeks, up to twenty pounds, and enjoying every minute of it. How can you beat that?

He explains how checklists actually work to prompt striking and immediate improvements. And he follows the checklist revolution into fields well beyond medicine, from disaster response to investment banking, skyscraper construction, and businesses of all kinds. An intellectual adventure in which lives are lost and saved and one simple idea makes a tremendous difference, The Checklist Manifesto is essential reading for anyone working to get things right.

The Chickens Fight Back
by David Waltner-ToewsEmerging diseases like mad cow, SARS, and avian flu are - for the moment, at least - far more prevalent in animals than in humans. Still, the knowledge that measles, TB, and smallpox were at one time "emerging" diseases that eventually made a permanent, and quite deadly, jump to humans gives epidemiologists pause. This book examines the various groups of animal diseases, explains what attracts them to the human population - from food to sex to living conditions - and offers suggestions for keeping them at bay. It also points out that diseases must be looked at from an ecological, cultural, and economic point of view as well as from a biological standpoint. Cooking meat till its well done and slathering on insect repellent for a hike in the woods are effective preventative measures, but as the author notes, it's more important to fundamentally rethink humankind's place in the world.

The Childless Revolution
by Madelyn CainThanks in part to birth control, delayed marriages, and the emergence of two-career couples, 42% of the adult female population is childless, representing the fastest-growing demographic group to emerge in decades. Alternately pitied and scorned, childless women are rarely asked directly about the reasons for their status; the elephant in the living room, childlessness is a taboo subject. Asking the hard questions, Madelyn Cain uncovers the many reasons for childlessness--from infertility to a focus on a career to even political action--and explores the ramifications, both personal and sociological. Simultaneously compassionate and journalistically curious, The Childless Revolution is informed by the stories of over 100 childless women, at long last giving voice to their experience and validating the jumble of emotions women feel about being a part of such a controversial population. For childless women and their families everywhere, this is the first--and long overdue--book to put a face on women who have made a largely misunderstood reproductive choice.
The Children of Raquette Lake
by Mira Rothenberg Peter A. LevineThe Children of Raquette Lake: One Summer That Helped Change the Course of Treatment for Autism is an inspiring account of author Mira Rothenberg's experience with eleven autistic and schizophrenic children during the summer of 1958. In order to avoid the regression that often occurred during the summer months, Rothenberg, a trained psychologist, and her colleagues Zev Spanier and Tev Goldsman, decided to bring their young patients to a camp in Raquette Lake, located in the Adirondack region of Northern New York.As Rothenberg explains, this was a time when severely disturbed children were considered untreatable and often sent to live out their lives in institutions where their needs were neglected and ignored. Many of Rothenberg's patients exhibited signs of abuse and emotional trauma. On the island, Rothenberg, Spanier, and Goldsman discovered that by applying what was then an unconventional treatment of loving care and tolerance, their young patients improved and were able to heal many of the emotional and physical issues associated with their conditions. Written like a narrative journal that follows the children's progress from week to week, The Children of Raquette Lake is interwoven with personal histories and fascinating case stories that demonstrate the healing power of the human heart. The book also provides a valuable list of resources for therapists and parents of autistic children.From the Trade Paperback edition.
