Here is another volume from today's most influential writer on food
and health, the New York Times Personal Health columnist, Jane E.
Brody. In this new book, America's authority on great food that is
also good food has produced, with her collaborator Richard Flaste,
a primer on seafood combined with a collection of delicious
recipes. She notes that most of us, when growing up, knew fish in
one of two incarnations - fish sticks or tuna on rye. What we
didn't know was that seafood comes in an amazing variety of forms,
that it is one of the most important low-fat sources of dietary
protein available, and that it can be cooked easily, even by "fish
novices", in an almost infinite number of delicious ways that go
well beyond the frozen fillets of childhood. Part One is a
comprehensive overview of seafood lore that includes chapters on
how to select, clean, fillet, and store fish; basic seafood cooking
techniques; and a full discussion of seafood safety and the
overwhelming health benefits of adding fish to your diet. Part Two
is a collection of 240 recipes for hors d'oeuvres and appetizers,
soups, salads, and main courses, including special sections on
grilling and microwaving.
The last ten years has witnessed a revolution in nutrition
consciousness, and its leader has been Jane Brody. Her bestselling
Nurtition Book has shown that healthy food can be delicious and
that "nutrition" need not be synonymous with "denial". Here she
presents more than 500 all-new dishes to satisfy the growing trend
for more elegant meals. Illustrated.
What is good nutrition? The answer to that question is the most
important and widely discussed health-care and life-style issue of
the day. Now Jane Brody has written the soundest and most
comprehensive guide to nutrition yet available for the layperson.
Among the many questions she answers are: Do we really need vitamin
supplements? Is fast food junk food? What foods are best for our
children? Is protein the vital ingredient in our diet or have
carbohydrates gotten a bad press? And many, many other pertinent
questions which are vital to this important issue.
How a constellation of Latin American artists explored the body,
power, and emancipation—and expanded the meanings of feminist
art. Â In The Political Body, art historian Andrea Giunta
explores gender and power in the work of Latin American artists
from the 1960s to the present. Questioning the social place of
women and proposing alternative understandings of biological
bodies, these artists eroded repressive systems and created
symbolic strategies of resistance to dictatorships, racism, and
marginalization. Â Giunta presents close readings of
works—paintings, films, photography, multimedia art,
installations, and performances—by a myriad of artists spanning
from Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay to Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico.
Examining themes of visibility, subjectivity, empathy, and
liberation, The Political Body tells the story of an ongoing
revolution, providing an active intervention in the history of
feminist art in and beyond Latin America.

Toward the middle of the 1950s, abstract art became a dominant
trend in the Latin American cultural scene. Many artists
incorporated elements of abstraction into their rigorous artistic
vocabularies, while at the same time, the representation of
geometric lines and structures filtered into everyday life,
appearing in textiles, posters, murals, and landscapes. The
translation of a field-changing Spanish-language book, Abstract
Crossings analyzes the relationship between, on the one hand, the
emergence of abstract proposals in avant-garde groups and, on the
other, the institutionalization and newfound hegemony of abstract
poetics as part of Latin America's imaginary of modernization. A
profusion of mid-century artistic institutional exchanges between
Argentina and Brazil makes a study of the trajectories of
abstraction in these two countries particularly valuable. Examining
the work of artists such as Max Bill, Lygia Clark, Waldemar
Cordeiro, and Tomas Maldonado, author Maria Amalia Garcia rewrites
the artistic history of the period and proposes a novel reading of
the cultural dialogue between Argentina and Brazil. This is the
first book in the new Studies on Latin American Art series,
supported by a gift from the Institute for Studies on Latin
American Art (ISLAA).
This book provides consulting psychologists, managers, and human
resources personnel with easy-to-use, evidence-based strategies for
providing effective feedback to improve communication and
performance in the workplace. Feedback is an essential part of
communication, coaching, management, and human resource practices.
Yet the essential elements that make feedback more effective often
fail to go beyond the pages of academic journal articles and into
the workplace where they could greatly improve communication and
performance. This book is an easy-to-use resource that applies
classic and current research findings to create actionable,
evidence-based tactics that consulting psychologists, consultants,
managers, and HR personnel can use to improve feedback exchanges in
any work environment. The authors present a simple and
straightforward model of the feedback process that includes four
critical elements that can make or break a feedback exchange: the
actions and behaviors of the feedback provider, the content of the
message, the beliefs and perceptions of the feedback recipient, and
the context in which feedback is provided. Each chapter includes a
case example that highlights key takeaways from the research and
illustrates how consultants can apply these concepts and strategies
in real scenarios.
