Veggie Smarts: A Doctor and Farmer Grows and Savors Eight Families of Vegetables
by Michael T. ComptonA nerdy farmer—and doctor with expertise in nutrition—explains how the vast majority of our vegetables come from just eight families of plants, which can guide how we eat them (&“eight on my plate&”), while recounting his journey of trading in city life to build a thriving organic vegetable farm.Dr. Michael Compton shares his passionate and healthy approach to savoring vegetables daily from across eight veggie families: the Brassicas, the Alliums, the Legumes, the Chenopods, the Aster Greens, the Umbellifers, the Cucurbits, and the Nightshades. Trading in city life for an old stone house and a fertile field in the scenic and historic Hudson Valley of New York, Compton built a compact, organic-certified vegetable, fruit, and flower farm. Compton shares lighthearted scientific facts, including why onions make us cry and how beets can make our pee pink, while providing nutritional information about the eight families of vegetables. As a farmer, he recounts growing a bounty of clean, delicious, and nutritious food for himself and so many others, and shares his exploration of those who farmed the land before him. You will delight in following his rewarding but sometimes frustrating efforts to reclaim old farmland for new adventures in organic farming. You might even find yourself wanting to test the greenness of your thumbs or to determine whether or not you too, are a natural-born berry picker. This is a deeply personal celebration of growing and savoring life…and vegetables.

Velocity-Based Training: Prescribing and Assessing the Effects of Resistance Training (Routledge Research in Strength and Conditioning)
by Amador Garcia RamosVelocity-based training (VBT) is a contemporary method of resistance training (RT) that has become popular among sport scientists and practitioners due to the proliferation of devices that allow accurate real-time monitoring of movement velocity during RT exercises. The main input of VBT is the lifting velocity of repetitions performed with maximal intent (i.e., executed as fast as possible). Barbell's velocity monitoring is known to have important applications for (I) enhancing training quality, (II) prescribing RT intensities and volumes, and (III) assessing day-to-day physical readiness and training-induced neuromuscular adaptations. Velocity Based Training looks to describe how movement velocity can be used as a supplement to or replacement for more traditional methods commonly used to prescribe RT and assess its effects on neuromuscular function This new volume thoroughly examines the scientific literature related to VBT. Consisting of 15 chapters that have been distributed in 5 sections covering the main topics of VBT. In each section the reader is presented with (I) the importance of the topic, (II) the investigations that have contributed to the development of the topic, (III) guidelines for applying the scientific knowledge in practice, and (IV) scientific gaps that need to be addressed for a more accurate implementation of VBT. The key audience for this book are academic researchers and postgraduate students interested in the field of strength training and conditioning. Practitioners or emerging practitioners in the field of sport and kinesiology could also benefit from this book as it provides research-based guidelines that facilitate the implementation of individualized VBT programs in real-world training settings.

Verbundenheit: Die Konstruktion der religiösen Selbst-Identität als Sinnsystem
by Britta RichterIst Verbundenheit, wie Studien nahelegen, die Essenz von Spiritualität? Und wie könnte ein Religionsmodell aussehen, das auf Verbundenheit als religiöse Bewusstseinsqualität aufbaut? Auf Basis qualitativer Daten aus Interviews mit Langzeitpraktizierenden aus spirituellen und künstlerischen Handlungsfeldern, entwickelt Britta Richter, im Gefolge phänomenologischer Lebensweltanalyse (Luckmann/Schütz), Modelle religiöser Selbst-Identität. Die Autorin folgt in phänomenologischen Analysen den narrativen Sinn-Konstruktionen zu ihrem Ursprung im praktischen Tun. Sie zeigt auf, dass Bindungen an Sinn-Quellen (Charles Taylor), Praktiken und Habitus, einer ontologischen Handlungslogik des Seins-Bewusstseins folgen und rekonstruiert, wie im Zwischenraum von Immanenz und Transzendenz, Welt-Beziehung und Seins-Beziehung, bedingtem und unbedingtem Sinn, Seins-Sinn-Bewusstsein verkörpert wird (religio). Unter Aufnahme bindungstheoretischer und theologischer Ansätze, wird ein Verständnis von symbolischer Identität entwickelt, in dem sich das Selbst, in der Praxis von Verbundenheit, Selbst-Transzendenz und Transformation, durch Selbstdeutung in der Gesellschaft, als verkörperte Religion seiner religio, individuiert.

Veronika Decides to Die: A Novel of Redemption (P. S. Ser.)
by Paulo CoelhoTwenty-four-year-old Veronika seems to have everything -- youth and beauty, boyfriends and a loving family, a fulfilling job. But something is missing in her life. So, one cold November morning, she takes a handful of sleeping pills expecting never to wake up. But she does -- at a mental hospital where she is told that she has only days to live. Inspired by events in Coelho's own life, Veronika Decides to Die questions the meaning of madness and celebrates individuals who do not fit into patterns society considers to be normal. Bold and illuminating, it is a dazzling portrait of a young woman at the crossroads of despair and liberation, and a poetic, exuberant appreciation of each day as a renewed opportunity.

Very, Very, Very Dreadful: The Influenza Pandemic of 1918
by Albert MarrinFrom National Book Award finalist Albert Marrin comes a fascinating look at the history and science of the deadly 1918 flu pandemic--and the chances for another worldwide pandemic.In spring of 1918, World War I was underway, and troops at Fort Riley, Kansas, found themselves felled by influenza. By the summer of 1918, the second wave struck as a highly contagious and lethal epidemic and within weeks exploded into a pandemic, an illness that travels rapidly from one continent to another. It would impact the course of the war, and kill many millions more soldiers than warfare itself.Of all diseases, the 1918 flu was by far the worst that has ever afflicted humankind; not even the Black Death of the Middle Ages comes close in terms of the number of lives it took. No war, no natural disaster, no famine has claimed so many. In the space of eighteen months in 1918-1919, about 500 million people--one-third of the global population at the time--came down with influenza. The exact total of lives lost will never be known, but the best estimate is between 50 and 100 million. In this powerful book, filled with black and white photographs, nonfiction master Albert Marrin examines the history, science, and impact of this great scourge--and the possibility for another worldwide pandemic today.
Vesalius: The China Root Epistle
by Daniel H. Garrison Andreas VesaliusThis book provides the first annotated English translation from the original Latin of Andreas Vesalius' China Root Epistle. Ostensibly his appraisal of a fashionable herbal remedy, the China Root Epistle concentrates on Vesalius' skeptical appraisal of traditional Galenic anatomy, which was based on animal rather than human dissections. Along with reflections about his life as a young anatomist, Vesalius argued that the new science of anatomy should devote itself less to rhetorical polemics and more to the craft of direct observation based on human dissection. This volume provides annotations to link the Epistle with Vesalius' earlier and more famous On the Fabric of the Human Body, and includes illustrations from the famous woodcuts first used in the 1543 edition of the Fabrica.
Veterans and Agent Orange: Herbicide/Dioxin Exposure and Type 2 Diabetes
by Institute of MedicineIn response to the concerns voiced by Vietnam veterans and their families, Congress called upon the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) to review the scientific evidence on the possible health effects of exposure to Agent Orange and other herbicides. This call resulted in the creation of the first NAS Institute of Medicine Committee to Review the Health Effects in Vietnam Veterans of Exposure to Herbicides in 1992. The committee published its initial findings in the 1994 report Veterans and Agent Orange: Health Effects of Herbicides Used in Vietnam. This report is the result of a 1999 request from the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) under the aegis of the Veterans and Agent Orangeresearch program. Specifically, DVA asked the committee to examine evidence regarding the association, if any, between Type 2 diabetes and exposure to dioxin and other chemical compounds in herbicides used in Vietnam. Veterans and Agent Orange: Herbicide/Dioxin Exposure and Type 2 Diabetesreviews the scientific evidence regarding the association, if any, between Type 2 diabetes1 and exposure to dioxin2 and other chemical compounds in herbicides used in Vietnam. This report examines, to the extent that available data permitted meaningful determinations, (1) whether a statistical association with herbicide exposure exists, taking into account the strength of the scientific evidence and the appropriateness of the statistical and epidemiologic methods used to detect the association; (2) the increased risk of the disease among those exposed to herbicides during Vietnam service; and (3) whether there is a plausible biological mechanism or other evidence of a causal relationship between herbicide exposure and the disease.
