Drawing is an important means to analyse information and develop
rigorous arguments both conceptually and visually. Going beyond the
how-to drawing manual, this book provides an instrumental approach
to drawing, especially computer-generated drawings; it outlines how
drawings should be used to convey clear and analytical information
in the process of design, as well as the communication and
discussion of a project. In depth examples are provided how to
communicate effectively. The final section demonstrates how to
transform case-studies, directly connecting an analytical approach
with the design process.
In this issue of Medical Clinics of North America, guest editor Dr.
Douglas S. Jacoby brings his considerable expertise to the topic of
Update in Preventive Cardiology. Top experts in the field cover key
topics such as how to manage patients with elevated triglycerides,
and when to refer; biomarkers and advanced lipid testing;
cardiovascular genetics; noninvasive imaging for the asymptomatic
patient; selecting the best oral contraceptives and hormone
replacement therapy for women; racial disparities in preventive
cardiology; and more. Contains 15 relevant, practice-oriented
topics including the heart healthy diet; the most evidence-based
exercise strategies for men and women; pre-diabetes, obesity, and
pharmacologic interventions to lower cardiovascular risk; who
should be evaluated for secondary hypertension; what is the optimal
LDL; and more. Provides in-depth clinical reviews on preventive
cardiology, offering actionable insights for clinical practice.
Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under
the leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors
synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines
to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews.
Based on his experience consulting on hundreds of industrial
mega-projects, Jacoby reveals dark secrets of international supply
chains for familiar products such as coffee, bottled water,
gasoline, and electronic devices, and explains how government
policies and business norms around the world have evolved to allow
practices that can deplete natural resources, blight native
landscapes, and tolerate inhumane working conditions. This book
directly addresses controversial issues like climate change, carbon
taxes, fracking, offshoring, urban sprawl, globalization, income
inequality, regulation, corruption, compliance and enforcement,
providing an informed basis for mapping the way forward. Based on
his experience consulting on hundreds of industrial mega-projects,
Jacoby reveals dark secrets of international supply chains for
familiar products such as coffee, bottled water, gasoline, and
electronic devices, and explains how government policies and
business norms around the world have evolved to allow practices
that can deplete natural resources, blight native landscapes, and
tolerate inhumane working conditions. Rich in facts and deep with
first-hand experiences from around the world, Jacoby challenges
embedded thinking about growth and progress, convenience, comfort,
and quality of life. The book proposes a bold and realistic new
policy framework that is ground-breaking and achievable for
industry, government, and consumers, and supports the plan with
achievable metrics, targets, and accountabilities. While his first
book promoted global supply chain optimization based on industry
"best practices" and his second book fine-tuned the techniques for
oil, gas, and power companies, Jacoby takes a holistic perspective
in this third book, acknowledging and proposing solutions for the
problems caused in part by these "optimized" global supply chains.
People are finally catching on. There is no way around the fact
that the consumption of meat, eggs, the variety of products made
from dairy, and foods containing toxic chemicals and refined
ingredients trigger the most common diseases afflicting humans.
While we remain fearful of nuclear accidents, wars, floods, fires,
tornadoes, typhoons, hurricanes, earthquakes, and car crashes, the
truth is that the vast majority of people in commercialized
civilization are more likely to die from the symptoms resulting
from their dependence on prescription drugs, living a toxic
lifestyle, and making poor dietary choices. Chief among those bad
choices are eating meat, dairy, eggs, refined and fatty foods, and
foods containing synthetic chemicals. Meat, eggs, and dairy
products are not ideal food sources for humans. We have simply been
lied to by the multi-billion-dollar industries that are responsible
for producing these low-quality foods, as they continue to profit
from products that are the result of the mass-breeding,
mistreatment, and killing of harmless, sentient beings that can
feel pain just as much as we can. The truth is that eating meat,
dairy, eggs, and refined and chemically-altered foods is
deleterious to our health. The common degenerative and chronic
diseases we are afflicted with today are directly linked with the
food choices we make. By eating more raw fruits and vegetables,
removing animal products and junk foods from our diet, and making
healthier lifestyle choices we will soon find that we no longer
need the vast amount of what we call 'healthcare'. We will
drastically reduce the costs associated with surgery and our
dependence on toxic, synthetic chemical drugs. Incidence of heart
attacks, strokes, diabetes, arthritis, cancer, and obesity will
plunge, and we - and Earth - will be much healthier. Rather than
choosing to be ignorant of the truth, it is time for us to take
back our health, empower ourselves, gain compassion, and quit
contributing to these acts of cruelty we call 'animal farming'.
Doing so will greatly reduce our use of fossil fuels that are
destroying life on Earth. Using medical studies, and reliable
scientific research, the author provides strong evidence that the
link between nutrition and disease is more paramount than we once
believed it to be. This book exposes the truth, and will guide you
on your journey to take back your health.
