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.
This timely Research Handbook provides novel insights into the
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
will be particularly beneficial for NATO practitioners and for
researchers endeavouring to further the field of NATO studies.
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.

Did you know that there are animals all around you that you can’t
see without a microscope? Sometimes it’s good you can’t see
them. As you shed dead skin cells, thousands of dust mites gobble
them up. Gross! Tiny water bears are super tough. They can survive
in Earth’s coldest and hottest places and even in space! In this
book, readers will learn amazing, weird and sometimes gross facts
about a variety of microscopic creatures.
The world is full of tiny viruses and bacteria that can be seen
only through a microscope. Some bacteria can be helpful, but others
cause diseases such as typhoid fever. Viruses can cause deadly
diseases such as COVID-19. In this book, readers will get all the
facts about bacteria and viruses, including their similarities and
differences, how they cause infections, and how people can keep
dangerous germs from spreading.
How society can shape individual actions in times of uncertainty
When we make decisions, our thinking is informed by societal norms,
“guardrails†guiding our decisions, like the laws and rules
that govern us. But what are good guardrails in today’s world of
overwhelming information flows and increasingly powerful
technologies, such as artificial intelligence? Based on the latest
insights from the cognitive sciences, economics, and public policy,
Guardrails offers a novel approach to shaping decisions by
embracing human agency in its social context. In this visionary
book, Urs Gasser and Viktor Mayer-Schönberger show how the quick
embrace of technological solutions can lead to results we don’t
always want and explain how society itself can provide guardrails
more suited to the digital age, ones that empower individual choice
while accounting for the social good, encourage flexibility in the
face of changing circumstances, and ultimately help us to make
better decisions as we tackle the most daunting problems of our
times, such as global injustice and climate change. Whether we
change jobs, buy a house, or quit smoking, thousands of decisions
large and small shape our daily lives. Decisions drive our
economies, seal the fate of democracies, create war or peace, and
affect the well-being of our planet. Guardrails challenges the
notion that technology should step in where our own decision making
fails, laying out a surprisingly human-centered set of principles
that can create new spaces for better decisions and a more
equitable and prosperous society.

'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.

Calvin Reeder directs this unconventional comedy horror starring
Dermot Mulroney as an unnamed man who encounters various bizarre
occurrences as he attempts to make his way to his brother's farm.
The Rambler (Mulroney) has just been released from prison but is a
long way from his destination and, with no means of transport other
than his legs and whatever lifts he can beg, will see a lot of the
less glamorous side of America on his travels. He meets figures
such as the Scientist (James Cady) and The Girl (Lindsay Pulsipher)
along the way and is drawn into increasingly unusual events. What
does the road hold in store for him?
A boy and his cat can do anything if they just put their minds to
it. Although it helps when the cat can't stop growing. If a cat the
size of a dog can stop a bully, what can a cat the size of
skyscraper stop?
Concerns have arisen in recent decades about the impact of climate
change on human mobility. Many people affected by climate change
are forced or otherwise decide to migrate within or across
international borders. Despite its clear importance, many questions
remain open regarding the nature of the climate-migration nexus and
its implications for laws and institutions. In the face of such
uncertainty, this Research Handbook offers a comprehensive picture
of laws and institutions relevant to climate migration and the
multiple, often contradictory perspectives on the topic. Carefully
edited chapters by leading scholars in the field provide a cross
section of the various debates on what laws do, can do and should
do in relation to the impacts of climate change on migration. A
first part analyses the relations between climate change and
migration. A second part explores how existing laws and
institutions address the climate-migration nexus. In the final
part, the chapters discuss possible ways forward. This timely
Research Handbook provides much-needed insight into this complex
issue for graduate and post-graduate students in climate change or
migration law. It will also appeal to students and scholars in
political science, international relations, environmental studies
and migration studies, as well as policymakers and advocates.

The choice of location for the production plants of multinational
firms is an important issue, not least because this decision is
accompanied by so many fears brought into public debate. This book
analyses how foreign direct investors choose their locations,
whilst exploring the forces which shape international economic
geography. Although these two issues are, to some extent,
inter-related, researchers have only recently acknowledged the
similarity of economic geography and international business
approaches to the empirical assessment of likely causes of the
degree of spatial concentration observed in many modern industries.
Giving insight into the direction that future research should take,
this book contains state-of-the-art papers on both theoretical and
empirical levels. This original collection makes a particularly
important contribution to our understanding of the existence and
impact of home market effects. Introducing a welcome synthesis
between two related and yet rarely integrated areas of study using
case studies of firms in Europe, US MNEs and the Mexican automobile
industry, this book will be welcomed by both academic and
practising economists. Regional scientists and economists, and
those with a specific interest in international trade issues will
also find the book enlightening.
