A must-have book for every parent, from the author of the
ground-breaking bestseller Diet for a Poisoned Planet. Every parent
wonders: Am I buying products for my child that are filled with
chemical toxins? In his powerful new book, Raising Healthy
Children, David Steinman, shows how today’s most popular
items—from bubble bath to cereal to cleaning products to snack
foods—are contaminated with unacceptable levels of chemical
toxins and pesticides, and he proposes alternatives and substitutes
to keep your family safe. Steinman reveals never-before-seen test
results for major brands like Johnsons & Johnsons, Kellogg,
Tide, and Clairol, and General Mills that identify exactly which
products contain dangerous ingredients. He casts a wide net,
showing how beauty products as well as food items can cause
reproductive health issues in pregnant women, and that
environmental exposures, particularly in schools, can have a
profound impact on babies’ and children’s development. Drawing
on current research, illuminating vignettes, and inspiring stories
of activism, Steinman provides action steps for parents in every
chapter, giving them the tools they need to shop for everyday
products that will be toxin-free and helping them ask the right
questions about their local schools and workplaces to determine
their potential levels of exposure. As he writes, “The goal of
this book is to show you how to keep you and your family safe and
healthy.” When Steinman published his acclaimed bestseller Diet
for a Poisoned Planet, it was compared to Rachel Carson’s classic
Silent Spring for bringing to light the chemical toxins in our
food. Now, more than thirty years later, Steinman brings readers up
to date on the increased dangers we face in all aspects of our
lives and teaches us how we can make smart choices to protect our
children and ourselves. Raising Healthy Children is an inspiring,
informative, and user-friendly book that will help every family
reduce their toxic exposures and ensure their health and
well-being.
Scholars from science, art, and humanities explore the meaning of
our new image worlds and offer new strategies for visual analysis.
We are surrounded by images as never before: on Flickr, Facebook,
and YouTube; on thousands of television channels; in digital games
and virtual worlds; in media art and science. Without new efforts
to visualize complex ideas, structures, and systems, today's
information explosion would be unmanageable. The digital image
represents endless options for manipulation; images seem capable of
changing interactively or even autonomously. This volume offers
systematic and interdisciplinary reflections on these new image
worlds and new analytical approaches to the visual. Imagery in the
21st Century examines this revolution in various fields, with
researchers from the natural sciences and the humanities meeting to
achieve a deeper understanding of the meaning and impact of the
image in our time. The contributors explore and discuss new
critical terms of multidisciplinary scope, from database economy to
the dramaturgy of hypermedia, from visualizations in neuroscience
to the image in bio art. They consider the power of the image in
the development of human consciousness, pursue new definitions of
visual phenomena, and examine new tools for image research and
visual analysis.
