Something Spectacular: The True Story of One Rockette's Battle with Bulimia
by Greta GleissnerGreta Gleissner, a longtime professional dancer, dreamed her whole life of becoming a Rockette. Then she became one-and she fell into the grips of a powerful eating disorder that began poison her life from the inside out. Something Spectacularis Gleissner’s raw, personal chronicle of the devastating effects bulimia exacts upon her life during her time as a Rockette.

Her intensive odyssey of self-discovery ultimately gives her the strength to reshape her self-image, embrace her sexuality, and break free of the malignant hold bulimia has on her life. The first book to give voice to the pervasive but often unaddressed problem of eating disorders in the dance industry,Something Spectacularis a gripping exposé of the insidious nature of eating-related diseases-and a profound account of one woman’s journey toward self-acceptance and recovery.

Somos la leche: Dudas, consejos y falsos mitos sobre la lactancia
by Alba PadróAlba Padró, desde su experiencia como madre y consultora de lactancia, te ofrece en Somos la leche las claves para conseguir que la lactancia sea un acto placentero para ti y tu bebé. La maternidad es una etapa desconocida, llena de mitos y miedos, si eres madre primeriza. Y si quieres amamantar a tu bebé, debes saber que se puede aprender a dar el pecho, que no es un acto instintivo. Disponer de información y apoyo es vital para poder decidir sobre cada aspecto de la lactancia. Somos la leche responde a las preguntas más frecuentes que se puede hacer una madre primeriza: ¿Cómo me preparo para la lactancia? ¿Qué pasa si mi bebé no se agarra bien o no gana peso? ¿Hasta cuándo debo dar el pecho y cuándo se recomienda el destete? ¿Cómo compatibilizo la lactancia materna con la vuelta al trabajo? ¿Qué cacharros necesito realmente para dar de mamar? Este libro también da respuesta a otras muchas cuestiones no tan comunes, como son las complicaciones que pueden surgir durante la lactancia, las distintas fases por las que pasa el bebé desde su nacimiento hasta el destete, la donación de leche materna y los grupos de apoyo, cómo inmunizarse ante las críticas del entorno o cómo superar el duelo y la culpabilidad que se siente con el destete o cuando no se puede amamantar con leche materna. Alba Padró es clara en este punto: lo más importante es que la mamá y el bebé se sientan bien.

Somos lo que comemos: Verdades y mentiras de la alimientación
by Mónica KatzMónica Katz nos introduce en el apasionante mundo de la alimentación. ¿Qué es lo que en verdad consumimos cada vez que comemos? Comer es imprescindible para vivir, pero también comemos para obtener placer, por aburrimiento, para calmarnos, para no pensar, para reunirnos con amigos y familia, para celebrar, para seducir. Y vivimos rodeados de estímulos que incitan a comer: programas de TV, publicidades, restaurantes, bares, kioscos y comercios con góndolas rebosantes de alimentos y bebidas, al alcance de nuestra mano. En ese sentido, la industria ha logrado producir alimentos a gran escala, procesados y especialmente diseñados para el consumo, a tal punto que no siempre sabemos qué es lo que en verdad consumimos cada vez que comemos. Mónica Katz nos introduce en el apasionante mundo de la alimentación y descompone en todas sus facetas el prisma de esa actividad humana. ¿Por qué nos gustan tanto ciertas comidas y por qué rechazamos otras? ¿Qué función cumplen los sentidos en la selección y el consumo? ¿Cómo utiliza la industria esos conocimientos? ¿Qué responsabilidad tiene el Estado en el control y la producción de alimentos? ¿Cuáles son beneficiosos para nuestro organismo, cuánto debemos consumir y cómo tenemos que hacerlo para lograr, sin recurrir a ninguna dieta, disfrutar de la comida y ganar en salud?
