Malcolm is a geek who's into old-school rap and finds himself in the middle of an adventure involving shady drug dealers, offbeat weirdos and a backpack that can make or break his chance of getting into Harvard.
Combining cutting-edge neuroscience with the latest discoveries on the human microbiome, a practical guide in the tradition of Wheat Belly and Grain Brain that conclusively demonstrates the inextricable, biological link between mind and body.
We have all experienced the connection between our mind and our gut—the decision we made because it “felt right”; the butterflies in our stomach before a big meeting; the anxious stomach rumbling when we’re stressed out. While the dialogue between the gut and the brain has been recognized by ancient healing traditions, including Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, Western medicine has failed to appreciate the complexity of how the brain, gut, and more recently, the microbiome—the microorganisms that live inside us—communicate with one another. In The Mind-Gut Connection, Dr. Emeran Mayer, executive director of the UCLA Center for Neurobiology of Stress, offers a revolutionary look at this developing science, teaching us how to harness the power of the mind-gut connection to take charge of our health.
The Mind-Gut Connection shows how to keep the brain-gut communication clear and balanced to:
- heal the gut by focusing on a plant-based diet
- balance the microbiome by consuming fermented foods and probiotics, fasting, and cutting out sugar and processed foods
- promote weight loss by detoxifying and creating healthy digestion and maximum nutrient absorption
- boost immunity and prevent the onset of neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s
- generate a happier mindset and reduce fatigue, moodiness, anxiety, and depression
- prevent and heal GI disorders such as leaky gut syndrome, food sensitivities and allergies, and IBS, as well as digestive discomfort such as heartburn and bloating and much more.
Nietzsche and Kant on Aesthetics and Anthropology is dedicated to
Nietzsche and 'Kant's own revision of Kant'. Taking up traditional
aesthetic questions on beauty, the sublime and originality, this
volume also covers anthropological issues of luxury, sociability,
human nature, uniquely addressing topics that cut across the two
domains and defy any clear-cut classification. Subsequently
alongside the role of the senses and the significance of the
imagination, contributors consider Kant and Nietzsche's work on
laughter, music and genius. They discuss history and
historiography, identifying where they intersect with key concepts
in aesthetics and the third Critique. But rather than aligning or
opposing the two thinkers, Nietzsche and Kant on Aesthetics and
Anthropology offers a comparative reading of Nietzsche's and Kant's
thoughts on aesthetics and anthropology. By presenting new
perspectives of reading these two philosophers, this volume
uncovers differences and similarities between the two thinkers and
a deeper understanding of their shared philosophical problems.

institutional complexities of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization (NATO). Through a defined focus on the post-Cold War
evolution of NATO, it provides various theoretical perspectives on
the Alliance and assesses wider research efforts within NATO
studies. Written by thirty renowned international scholars and
practitioners, chapters provide multidisciplinary insights into
NATO’s legal and political developments. They examine existing
research ventures within NATO scholarship, as well as potential
future methodological advancements. The Research Handbook looks
closely at NATO’s political and military decision-making, its
principles of governance and its key fields of action. It
additionally offers a significant analysis of the organization’s
stability and cohesion. This comprehensive Research Handbook will
be important for academics studying law, politics and international
relations surveying the intricacies of regional organizations. It

Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given
area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject
in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of
travel. They are relevant but also visionary. Forward-looking and
innovative, Elgar Research Agendas are an essential resource for
PhD students, scholars and anybody who wants to be at the forefront
of research. Exploring current debates on the topic, this book maps
out an agenda for theory, research and practice about the role and
function of small and medium-sized towns in various contexts and at
different territorial scales. Chapters highlight new insights and
approaches to studying small and medium-sized towns, moving beyond
the 'urban bias' to provide nuanced thought on these spaces both in
terms of their relation to larger cities, and in terms of
implications related to their size. Contributions from top scholars
in the field across a number of disciplines cover a broad range of
relevant areas of study, including: socio-spatial identities,
urbanization, suburbanization, resilience, innovation,
entrepreneurship, industrial and tourism development and
digitalization. The book concludes with an outline of the road
ahead and a call for further theorizing. Urban planning and human
geography scholars will find this to be an invigorating read with
contributions from scholars across urban planning, economic
geography, tourism and public policy providing a holistic
understanding of the topic.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
'Buy it for yourself, your husband or partner. Most importantly,
buy it for your children' Sunday Express Essential reading from
Catherine Mayer, recently named one of the Top 100 Most Influential
People in Global Policy on Gender Equality. Cometh the hour, Cometh
the women. In this inspirational book, the co-founder of the
Women's Equality Party sets out compelling evidence for the social
and economic benefits of gender equality and lays bare the
mechanisms holding women back. Everywhere women are, at best,
second-class citizens. Progress towards equality hasn't only
stalled; in many places, it is reversing. Things needn't be this
way. Join the author on a journey to Equalia, the gender-equal
future that could be ours. In this new and fully updated edition
Catherine Mayer reports from the frontline of 2017, a tumultuous
year that saw women's rights and protections rolled back and the
global tally of female leaders fall, but galvanised feminism. It
was also a tumultuous year for the author herself, who for the
first time writes in detail about her sex and age discrimination
suit against her former employer, TIME, and how her battle for
justice, like #MeToo, demonstrated the extraordinary power of women
sharing stories. JOIN THE REVOLUTION.
