Significant advancements in nutrition's impact on the eye have
occurred faster than any volume can document... until now. This
book gives the background and rationale regarding the physiological

the risk for cataracts. This volume also contains information on
how to quantitatively assess age-related diseases of the eye
including cataracts and age-related maculopathy. Smoking and light

Get Fit with Apple Watch is the concise introduction to the amazing
new Apple Watch. It's the first book specifically focused on the
Apple Watch's most important function: health and fitness. This
book is for you if you are interested in health and are willing to
make small lifestyle adjustments in order to enhance health and
well-being. This book is also for you if you are a dedicated health
junkie who already exercises on a regular basis and follows a
healthy diet. The Apple Watch includes fitness apps that you can
access right on your wrist while you are exercising, for instant
feedback on how you are doing. You will learn how to use the Watch
to avoid sitting for too long, to register a healthy amount of body
movement every day, and how to get the most out of more strenuous
exercise activities. All fitness and exercise-related built-in apps
will be covered in detail, as well as leading third party health
and fitness apps that have been specifically tailored to work with
the Watch. Part I plus two appendixes give readers just what they
need to know to understand all functionality of the Apple Watch to
set up their Apple Watch, and what third-party apps are available
(at time of publication). It's a great mini-book that will be
appeal to readers who don't feel the need to buy an entire
standalone introduction to the Apple Watch. Part II (the majority
of the book) clearly explains the Apple Watch's fitness an d
health-tracking functions, but goes well beyond this by showing
readers different ways to integrate these functions into their
daily lives, regular workout routines, and with their iPhone and
the leading third-party health and fitness apps. Plus, there's an
entire chapter devoted to the Apple Watch Research Kit, explaining
the benefits of the associated medical research apps and how users
can participate in these world-changing programs, should they
choose to. Veteran technology author Allen Taylor is also a
participant in the Apple Watch Research Kit study in cardiovascular
fitness conducted by Stanford University.

Wraiths and apparitions wander the fields and backwoods and cabin
communities of the South Carolina Lowcountry swampland that are the
setting for J. Douglas Allen-Taylor's lyrical and literary first
novel, Sugaree Rising. In a story written in the tradition of the
great chroniclers of rural African-American Southern life-Zora
Neale Hurston, Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, and Jean Toomer-the
independence and elder culture of the isolated Yay'saw of Yelesaw
Neck is threatened by a plan to dam the nearby Sugaree River and
flood them out. The underlying threat of danger and violence that
is an ever-present factor in Southern life runs through the novel
like a deep-flowing current. But this is no predictable tale, and
Allen-Taylor, a master storyteller with a unique style and view,
takes the reader down unexpected pathways. Interwoven with the
story of Yally Kinlaw, a young woman seeking out the spirit-legacy
to which she is heir, are original poems and songs and folktales
that recreate the musical, mystical, mythic world in which the
African-American people were created, but which now has been
all-but forgotten to history.
Differences in perceptions of so-called reality are causing often
disastrous divisions in families, communities, nations and our
planet. This book is designed to explore, in a personal and yet
universal way, how life experiences can bring broader and more
compassionate understanding to those with open minds and hunger for
a "better way." A series of papers and articles written over a
period of almost fifty years are set in a context of a life
journey, encouraging readers to explore, question, and reassess
their own beliefs, values, and experiences as a spiritual quest.
