Heard the one about the Fat Professor, the Whole-Food Dietitian and the Michelin-trained Chef who want to change the world? Nope, this is not a silly joke. Far from it. In fact, we hope this book provides some serious answers. We hope it is the beginning of a life-changing journey for many who have experienced inexplicable weight gain, the heartbreak of constant deprivation and yo-yo dieting, or worse, physical illness through poor nutrition.

For decades, the brightest minds in the nutrition and science field have had fat pegged as the bad guy. As a result, many of us have been enslaved by an outdated food pyramid which has pushed us to eat carb-laden and processed food. As the evidence mounts against sugar and processed carbohydrates, it's time to flip the pyramid and break free of the fat phobia.

In this practical guide, we present inspiring success stories, compelling evidence, and simple ways to “eat upside-down”. Forget everything you were taught at school, flip the food pyramid on its head and start nourishing your body the way it was designed to be nourished.

Taylor Kitsch and Brendan Gleeson star in this comedy drama directed by Don McKellar. The community of the small harbour village of Tickle Head in Newfoundland is in urgent need of employment. Since the need for fishermen has rapidly decreased over the years, the majority of the people have been out of work. When news reaches the mayor of Tickle Head that there are talks of opening a petrochemical factory in the village, the people set out to do everything they can to make it happen; the only problem is that there is a condition in place that states they must have a resident doctor. When young doctor Paul Lewis (Kitsch) is caught by airport security with cocaine, the mayor of Tickle Head sees an opportunity and tells him that there will be no charges made but he must stay in the village to serve as their doctor for one month. Plans are made to get every member of the community to try their hardest to make him stay.

Kenny Rodgers was born and bred in Ayrshire, Scotland. His parents were 'ordinary folk' but extra-ordinary human beings. By modern standards Kenny comes from a huge family - he has five brothers and five sisters. Kenny is married to Nancy and has two sons, Gary and Greg. These are Kenny's memoirs and memories of his life and the 'family'. They are not 'kiss and tell' or tittle-tattle, but real, at times raw, relevant and readable experiences of life and death. Part 1 reflects childhood in a bygone age of the 1960s and '70s; Scottish culture; education; sport; rural, town and city life. It recalls briefly the words of the National Bard (Robert Burns) and the words and deeds of modern day bigots and alcoholics. It recounts the real local characters of the day and recognises courage in the face of the deaths of friends and family from still-birth; teenage cancer; 'toxic shock'; a subarachnoid haemorrhage; cancer in maturity; suspected SARS and mercifully 'old age'. Part 1 weaves its way through the challenge of change in life and work and captures the disappearance of the picture house and the appearance of the complexes; the demise of the co-operatives and the birth of the multiples; the death-knell of board games and the discovery of the skaters and skate-boarders and the degeneration of politics and the regeneration of community spirit and consciousness. In film terms Part 2 of Kenny's book would be more 'Three Funerals and a Wedding' than 'Three Weddings and a Funeral' but it is not about doom and gloom. It is about life and changes in life which ultimately affect individuals, families, wider communities and ultimately society. Part 2 covers from 2004 to the beginning of 2013. Life goes on and repeats itself but not in the same 'ground-hog day' fashion. New local heroes bring out the best in people to help other people. Careers are carved out and re-carved out as renewal follows redundancy. A young life is saved by two young 'unsung heroes'. Sporting success and unexpected victories are recorded in 'tales of the unexpected'. Unfairness and alleged bullying are challenged in a 'David and Goliath' struggle. The Town of Darvel faces up to a 'lace industry past' and a 'festival future'. Part 2 reflects nearly nine years of good luck, bad luck and the fortunes of the family as one generation approached its end and the new generation embarked on the first stage of life to come. The cycle of life turns in the sure and certain knowledge that, 'Everybody has to Cry Sometime'.

"The TCU Press is not affiliated with Thunder Bay Press and this book is not a part of its 'Then and Now' book series." Fort Worth evokes fond memories of its places, people, and events. Residents and sojourners alike have favorites that help define what makes the city special for them. Perhaps the favorite site was a downtown intersection where the "people-watching" was grand, or some remember a school playground with its impressive array of jungle gyms and slides. Although the details fade with time, memories of a location don't change substantially--the way the place looked, a sense of how people used it, or the feelings it evoked. In reality, though, things do change, whether the alterations involve only minor details or major changes to the landscape, movement patterns, and buildings. Fort Worth Then and Now explores the changes that have taken place in the city by comparing a historic photograph with a contemporary image taken at the same place or in the same setting. Over time, some scenes have changed so substantially that they are scarcely recognizable, yet others retain many of the elements that would have made them familiar to current residents and to past generations. This approach allows the reader to compare memories with a view made generations ago and evaluate the two. Take down the overhead freeway, and most people familiar with Fort Worth would recall a Lancaster Avenue that was more human in scale and flanked with buildings that are local architectural landmarks. Yet, the historic photographs of this gateway boulevard show an odd mix of pleasing urban design and gritty commercial practicality. The pictures lead to speculation: will the Lancaster Avenue of memory be-come a reality once the proposed landscaped boulevard is substituted for the concrete hulk that has defined the corridor for the past forty-four years? Fort Worth Then and Now follows the tradition of "repeat photography" projects that have examined the working methods and images of Western explorer photographers such as William Henry Jackson and Timothy O'Sullivan. Historians, preservationists, cultural geographers, and genealogists have also become interested in the technique to document the effect time has had on the urban landscape. Richly illustrated with historic photographs and new images destined to become benchmarks for Fort Worth in 2001, Fort Worth Then and Now is certain to work its own magic in shaping memories of the city.

Labour Law, Vulnerability and the Regulation of Precarious Work (Hardcover): Lisa Rodgers Labour Law, Vulnerability and the Regulation of Precarious Work (Hardcover)
Lisa Rodgers
R3,152 Discovery Miles 31 520 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

While vulnerability is a concept often mentioned in labour law and employment policy discourse, its precise meaning can remain elusive. This book provides rigorous theoretical analysis and contains fresh insights to aid our understanding of vulnerability. It is a stimulating contribution to the debate on how legal regulation responds to the changing characteristics of today's labour market.' - Mark Bell, The University of Dublin, Ireland The shifting nature of employment practice towards the use of more precarious work forms has caused a crisis in classical labour law and engendered a new wave of regulation. This timely book deftly uses this crisis as an opportunity to explore the notion of precariousness or vulnerability in employment relationships. Arguing that the idea of vulnerability has been under-theorised in the labour law literature, Lisa Rodgers illustrates how this extends to the design of regulation for precarious work. The book's logical structure situates vulnerability in its developmental context before moving on to examine the goals of the regulation of labour law for vulnerability, its current status in the law and case studies of vulnerability such as temporary agency work and domestic work. These threads are astutely drawn together to show the need for a shift in focus towards workers as 'vulnerable subjects' in all their complexity in order to better inform labour law policy and practice more generally. Constructively critical, Labour Law, Vulnerability and the Regulation of Precarious Work will prove invaluable to students and scholars of labour and employment law at local, EU and international levels. With its challenge to orthodox thinking and proposals for the improvement of the regulation of labour law, labour law institutions will also find this book of great interest and value.

Handbook on the Economics of Discrimination (Paperback): William M. Rodgers III Handbook on the Economics of Discrimination (Paperback)
William M. Rodgers III
R1,774 Discovery Miles 17 740 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Discrimination's dynamic nature means that no single theory, method, data or study should be relied upon to assess its magnitude, causes, or remedies. Despite some gains in our understanding, these remain active areas of debate among researchers, practitioners and policymakers. The specially commissioned papers in this volume, all by distinguished contributors, present the full range of issues related to this complex and challenging problem. Part 1 explores innovations in methods and data collection that help to provide richer descriptions of inequality. Part 2 reviews empirical evidence on discrimination that people with disabilities, older workers and gay, lesbian and bisexual individuals face. Although discrimination among these groups is not new, this Handbook shows that economists are beginning to more fully document their experiences. Part 3 presents a balanced discussion of anti-discrimination policies and the impact of affirmative action. The methods and data chapters are particularly designed to encourage researchers to utilize the new approaches and develop new data sources. Accessible and comprehensive, the Handbook is the seminal reference on the economics of discrimination for academic and professional economists, graduate students, advanced undergraduates, practitioners, policymakers, and funders of social science research.

Umbrella Unfurled (Hardcover): Rodgers  Nigel Umbrella Unfurled (Hardcover)
Rodgers Nigel 1
R307 Discovery Miles 3 070 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Universally recognisable, the umbrella and its older, prettier sister the parasol have made their mark. Politics, religion, war and fashion have all been influenced by this modest contraption. With a beautiful collection of images, The Umbrella Unfurled follows its hero to Ancient Egypt, where at first it was for the Pharaoh's use only. References and physical representations of it are found throughout the Old World, often bearing great symbolic and ceremonial weight. Yet despite its more practical reputation in the West, it still holds cultural significance. As the ultimate accoutrement to the fashionable Edwardian lady; as part of the rank-and-file uniform of the City gentleman; it even made it onto the battlefield, though against the better judgement of the Duke of Wellington. And it has been wielded with more sinister intent as the weapon of choice by the KGB in seeking to dispatch dissidents abroad. Decorative, useful, symbolic and even deadly, the umbrella has a story older and more elaborate that one might think, all related in a highly entertaining gift book that could only have been written by an Englishman.

Nigel Rodgers 1
R777 Discovery Miles 7 770 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The 'Dandy' is not just an elaborately, well-dressed man - nor is he an exclusively English phenomenon. He is something far more universal and intriguing. The author captures the lives of the Dandies - some were aristocratic but most were not. All, however, had the chutzpah and style to be a true Dandy. Their stories are told against a backdrop of revolutions and war in the world's great cities (London, Paris, New York, Hollywood, Moscow, Berlin), and amid financial and sexual scandals. All too often Dandies lived in luxury but died in penury. The Dandy's place in history is assured. Not because Dandies have made any major contributions to politics, economics or warfare, but because they were, and continue to be, figures of huge but subtle significance - baffling, enigmatic, iconic.
