A scientist, a nutritionist, and two chef-athletes – the crack squad behind The Real Meal Revolution have walked or in some cases run the hard yards through the gauntlets of nutritional science and self-experimentation. The revelatory stance and the mouth-watering recipes in this book is the result of their experience combined with overwhelming scientific evidence.

Part myth-busting scientific thriller, part mouth-watering cookbook, the goal of the real meal revolution is to change your life by teaching you how to take charge of your weight and your health through the way you eat.

It advises on how to get:

• more energy
• less (or no) cravings
• no hunger
• weight loss
• much better health in every aspect
• better blood glucose and insulin readings
• enhanced athletic performance
• increased mental focus
• better sleeping habits

Die Kos Revolusie is deels 'n wetenskaplike riller en deels 'n kookboek vol heerlike resepte, maar die hoofdoel is om jou lewe te verander deur jou te leer hoe jy met jou eetgewoontes beheer kan neem oor jou gewig en gesondheid.

• Meer energie
• Minder (of geen) drange
• Geen honger
• Gewigsverlies
• Veel beter gesondheid in elke aspek
• Beter bloed glukose en insulien lesings
• Verbeterde atletiese prestasie
• Verhoogde geestelike fokus
• Beter slaap gewoontes (minder)

Good luck, my friend. Simple words said in passing by a holy man to David Grier on the streets of Mumbai. Grier didn’t know the man; he hardly saw him, in fact, but that encounter was a sign that the madcap idea he was investigating – whether or not it was, in fact, possible to run the length of India - was something he had to do. With his hardy yet comical crew, he set off to run from the northernmost Hindu temple in the Himalayan foothills of Kashmir right down to the southern tip of India. Through mountain ranges and across rich farmlands and forests; dodging traffic, battling through smog-choked cities and across desert salt plains; fjording rivers and running (unwittingly) through a tiger sanctuary, they ran and ran. Armed with GPSs, maps and helpful directions, they got lost in India. But through its beauty, its heaving masses and the remarkable resilience of its people, they found themselves, 93 days and 4 008 km later, emerging a whole lot wiser at their journey’s end.

While most applications and fundamental studies of optical trapping have focused on optical forces resulting from intensity gradients, here we explore the role of radiation pressure directed by phase gradients in beams of light. Radiation pressure turns out to be a non-conservative force and drives trapped objects out of detailed balance. Rather than undergoing equilibrium thermal fluctuations, as has been assumed for decades, a microsphere in an optical tweezer enters into a stochastic steady-state characterized by closed loops in its probability current. This surprising effect is a particular manifestation of a more general class of noise-driven machines that we call Brownian vortexes. This previously unrecognized class of stochastic heat engines operates on qualitatively different principles from such extensively studied nonequilibrium systems as thermal ratchets and Brownian motors. Among its interesting properties, a Brownian vortex can reverse its direction with changes in temperature or equivalent control parameters.
