No other Hollywood star has been so closely linked with cars and
bikes, from the 1968 Ford Mustang GT Fastback he drove in Bullitt
(in the greatest car chase of all time) to the Triumph motorcycle
of The Great Escape. McQueen's Machines gives readers a close up
look at the cars and motorcycles McQueen drove in movies, those he
owned, and others he raced. With a foreword by Steve's son, Chad
McQueen, and a wealth of details about of the star's racing career,
stunt work, and car and motorcycle collecting, McQueen's Machines
draws a fascinating picture of one outsized man's driving passion.
Revised and updated from its original hardcover edition.
Want to be able to trust your kids around a full cookie jar? Want
your kids to say "no" to McDonald's and actually choose to eat
something else? Want your kid to be able to eat whatever they want
without ever worrying about their weight? With 'Food Ninjas: How to
Raise Your Kids to be Lean, Mean, Eating Machines, ' this reality
is just a small step away. In a world full of increasing paranoia
about the food we eat and health-obsessed parents imposing more and
more bizarre dietary restrictions on their children, 'Food Ninjas'
provides the swift kick in the pants that many health fanatical
parents need. 'Food Ninjas' is THE roadmap for raising your
children to be the "lucky" ones who can eat whatever they want,
whenever they want, and be lean and healthy as a result. Think your
kid needs to eat a bunch of vegetables? Think your kid will become
a raging diabetic if he is allowed to consume as much cake, candy,
and Coca Cola as he desires? Think your kid will be healthier if
you raise her only on "whole foods?" Wrong, wrong, wrong. All
creatures, humans included, come hardwired with powerful regulatory
mechanisms with million-year track records of success. Children
come programmed with all the instincts they could ever need to
manage their body fat levels, energy levels, fluid intake, and much
more-even while eating a modern diet. As a parent, the biggest
mistake you can make is to INTERFERE. 'Food Ninjas' is about
stepping out of the way and allowing a child to develop a healthy
relationship with food, an optimal metabolic rate, and eat and
drink based on internal, instinctual cues. Those internal cues can
be trusted. Psychological interference about when, what, and how
much to eat is what drowns out instinct and starts a lifelong
neurotic tug of war between what we want to eat, and what we think
we should eat. After reading 'Food Ninjas, ' you will no longer
have to control, bribe, struggle, or fight your children to eat
this or eat that. You can relax. They can relax. You can stop
trying to force them to swallow that green juice and cod liver oil,
and you can stop having to listen to them whine and beg to eat junk
food despite your best efforts to get them excited about Brussels
sprouts and grass-fed beef. And the whole family can put all that
wasted time and effort towards something a lot more fulfilling.
'Food Ninjas' is not another idealistic book filled with tricks to
make kids eat vegetables and delusional statements about how carrot
sticks and hummus can be just as enjoyable as burgers and fries if
you mold the hummus to look like a skateboard park or a Barbie
bathtub. It is the answer for how kids and adults alike can eat in
the most casual, intuitive, and carefree way as possible with
excellent health to go along with it.
With more than 1,300 pages and 12,500 illustrations covering 70
years, this may be the most complete visual history of the American
automobile ever published. Nowhere else are there so many
collector, luxury, sporting and every day cars assembled with
fascinating information about original prices, engine sizes,
horsepower, and other specifications. The pages are packed with
genuine, factory-fresh photographs and drawings taken from
contemporary advertisements, catalogs, and brochures. More than 250
manufacturers and hundreds of individual models trace the evolution
of the American automobile, from the millions of Model Ts that
rolled off Ford's assembly line through the art deco streamliners
of the '30s, to the tail-finned land yachts of the '50s and muscle
cars of the '60s and '70s up to the early SUVs of the '90s.
Throughout author Tad Burness adds handwritten details not found
anywhere else, including pointing out unusual options and
differences found within a model. Automotive journalist Matt Stone
provides a new general introduction and one to each era within the
book.

'Start where you are, use what you have, do what you can.'Matt
Stone, one of Australia's brightest young chefs, has a natural
rock-star talent and an ambition to change the world. He believes
that if you eat well, you live well. If you cook creatively, you'll
be more fulfilled. If you consider the provenance of your food,
you'll live a more sustainable life. And that none of this has to
be hard work...Here are over 100 recipes to show you how eating
healthily and ethically doesn't have to be an enormous burden. Matt
also talks you through the basics of foraging, pickling, reducing
waste and how to use the rich native ingredients that are all
around us. Most of all, though, this book is about cooking cracking
food, and how, with a little effort and thought, it will soon
become second nature.
Have you noticed since starting all this "healthy" eating, dieting,
perfect Paleo diets, wholesome Vegan escapades, and all that
glorious exercise that you did in the name of better health and a
better appearance... THAT YOU LOOK AND FEEL WORSE? Eating pretty
much any overly restricted diet will do these things to you. Throw
some "healthy" exercise in there with it and you've got a recipe
for shutting down your entire system. It's all caused by a drop in
metabolic rate. Diet Recovery is your guide to bringing your
metabolism back up to its ideal level. When you've had enough and
you are ready to stop dieting forever, get your health back on
track, stop obsessing over your body fat percentage, be happy, and
join the rest of society by eating somewhat normal again, there's
no better book in print for you to turn to. No more debilitating
New Year's resolutions to run a daily marathon on cabbage soup this
year- quit beating yourself, and stop the dieting madness Eat the

Got the Paleo blues? Eating the perfect diet for your genetic
blueprint, but mysteriously feeling worse? Think it's because
you're not trying hard enough? Think all these problems are due to
the one croissant you had 6 months ago? Think again There are some
serious flaws with the Paleo Diet. Sure, many people lose weight
when they switch over to a boring diet of mostly meat and
vegetables. Well, for the first few months before they start
gaining it back that is. And many see health improvements -
legitimate ones, as happens when the nutrition content of a diet
goes up dramatically. Of course there are people who benefit from
switching from a McDiet to something like Paleo But many get
ravaged by it, and there are clear, obvious, and very basic
physiological reasons for it. Obvious signs that the Paleo Diet is
inappropriate for you would be cold hands and feet, frequent
urination, nighttime urination or night sweats, sleep problems -
particularly waking up between 3-4 am, anxiety or panic attacks,
muscle cramps, irritability, lack of energy, delayed stomach
emptying, constipation, body odor, breath odor, dark circles under
your eyes, appearance of allergies or autoimmune disease, loss of
sex drive, sexual function, or menstruation, dry skin, poor
exercise performance and recovery, migraines, blurred vision, and
countless others. If you suffer from these issues and you're on a
Paleo Diet, you better make some adjustments 12 Paleo Myths: Eat
Better than a Caveman goes into great detail about the physiology
behind how the Paleo Diet, particularly one that is heavy in meat
and fat and low in carbohydrates, affects us as human beings. For
some, those affects might be highly favorable. But for others it's
like throwing gasoline on a fire. The book also includes a
discussion of some of the most basic tenets of Paleo that are
illogical or scientifically wrong, such as the belief that
carbohydrate consumption causes blood sugar or insulin levels to
become too high, or the belief that we are genetically identical to
our Paleolithic forebears. And of course, it includes valuable
information on how to overcome and reverse some of the problems you
may have incurred or ceased to improve with your adherence to this
latest peculiar, sciencey-sounding fad. But that's not all The book
also includes over 60 thick pages of stories of people who had
miserable results trying to follow a Paleo diet - from insomnia and
panic attacks to loss of menstruation and boner kill. All for just

"If you had told me 2 years ago that such a small change in my diet
would yield such a big difference in my health, I would have
laughed right in your face " Chris Randall; Vegan In The Vegan
Solution: Why the Vegan Diet Often Fails and How to Fix It,
prolific author Matt Stone shares his pioneering research on the
role of metabolic rate in health as applied to a vegan diet. In the
book you'll learn about "The Frigid Fourteen" - fourteen
metabolism-lowering mistakes that are frequently being committed in
the vegan world. These simple, misguided mistakes are commonplace
and extremely detrimental to the metabolic rate and all of the
body's systems affected by it. Yet they are all simple to fix,
returning the body back to proper function, oftentimes while
remaining completely vegan. Popular Youtube vlogger Chris Randall,
who lost 150 pounds and rid himself of many chronic health issues
and has had a sensational return to health with a vegan diet, also
chimes in with his personal experience and advice after applying
many of Stone's methods. Randall has spent many months as a
personal client of Stone's, and has seen his body temperature
return to normal, his strength and sex drive is soaring like never
before, and he is getting progressively leaner and healthier eating
in excess of 4,000 calories daily - far more than he was eating
prior. In the book you'll find out how you, vegan or not, can apply
the same methods and achieve similar results - all with changes so
minor it will seem far-fetched that it could actually yield such
dramatic changes. The common negatives you hear about a vegan diet
- losing muscle mass and strength, hair loss, horrendous digestion,
tooth decay, freezing cold hands and feet, frequent urination,
insomnia, dry skin, loss of menstruation and sex drive, and more
are things most assume to be a consequence of avoiding animal
products. Stone and Randall propose otherwise and aim for "fixing"
your vegan diet instead of rushing you down to the local
steakhouse. Whether you are thinking about trying out a vegan diet
or have been at it for many years, this book is the manual for how
you can properly meet your physiological needs, avoid the ravages
of a poorly-designed vegetarian diet, and thrive. In an endless sea
of pseudo-scientific and cultish vegetarian literature and
propaganda, The Vegan Solution offers up real, sound, simple advice
based on the scientific reality of our human needs and biological
function. It's a must-read for anyone attempting to follow a vegan
diet.
'Eat for Heat' is best described as a complementary concept that
has yet to be discussed anywhere in the world of health, diet, and
nutrition. The book takes a close look at the modern habit of
compulsive beverage consumption, mass prescriptions to "drink 8,
8-ounce glasses of water per day," phobias about salt and sugar,
and turns them all upside down in classic 180DegreeHealth style.
The objective? Increase the concentration of the extracellular
fluid (the fluid in our bodies) for increased core body temperature
(rise in metabolism), increased circulation to the extremities for
warm hands and feet, and taking the burden off of the stress system
for far-reaching health and hormonal improvements. The concept is
extremely simple. The net sum of the food and beverages we consume
can either concentrate or dilute our body fluids. 'Eat for Heat'
discusses simple principles on how to make minor changes to your
meals and drinking habits to keep your body in a better metabolic
"zone" all day every day. It's a tactic that can be applied to any
dietary belief system, and can even yield tremendous health
benefits to those eating just a regular Western diet. Everyone can
benefit from the simple concept put forth in Eat for Heat. In terms
of specific benefits from mastering this idea, you can expect to...
Eliminate frequent urination and waking up at night to urinate
Overcome frequent headaches, migraines, and seizures Increase body
heat and body temperature to 98.6 degrees F and higher Improve or
eliminate anxiety completely, stabilizing mood Sleep deeper and
longer, waking feeling more rested Enhance immunity and increase
the speed of tissue renewal Eradicate heart palpitations Moisten
your skin and hair, especially dry skin around the hands and lower
legs and feet Eliminate dry mouth and excessive thirst Lower LDL,
total cholesterol, and triglycerides Increase sex hormone
production like progesterone and testosterone Be able to eat
whatever you want, when you want, without gaining fat Strengthen
bones and teeth And more...
