Human Protein Metabolism is a succinct review of hundreds of
studies on the regulation of protein mass and protein turnover in
the human body. The biochemistry of protein synthesis and breakdown
is summarized, and the methods that are used to examine protein
metabolism in humans are explained, and their limitations
discussed. The book includes chapters that review the effects of
nutrition, hormones, metabolic substrates, and physical activity.
Various topics of clinical interest are covered, including cancer,
diabetes, tissue injury, pregnancy, renal disease, muscular
dystrophies, and other conditions. Normal values are presented for
turnover of proteins in the whole body and individual organs, and
for turnover of many individual proteins. This book will be a
valuable resource for physiologists, nutritionists, and clinicians
interested in the regulation of body protein stores in health and
disease. For scientists primarily interested in the basic aspects
of protein metabolism, it shows how the basic knowledge is being
applied to the study of humans.

An old Mafia roadhouse in a swamp. A fried chicken joint in a
ghetto. A sassy, campy greasy spoon. A crumbling saloon. And, oh
yeah, America's most "Outstanding Restaurant." These aren't the
kind of places you'd expect to find in a dining guidebook for one
of the world's culinary capitals, but this is New Orleans, the city
where the American melting pot is brimming with gumbo. Written for
the hungry visitor or the traveling executive, this guidebook
whittles over 1,000 restaurant choices into more than two dozen
establishments where food, service, room and vibes add up to New
Orleans experiences as authentic as coffee with chicory or
Dixieland jazz. From stylish white tablecloth dining rooms to
six-napkin muffuletta dives, "New Orleans Dining" offers in-depth
previews of the city's truly homegrown restaurants for hungry
travelers who have more taste than time.
When New York advertising executive Adam Osborne is exiled to the
Deep South, an advertising contract worth millions of dollars is up
for grabs. Before long, everyone wants a piece of Adam. His partner
wants to kill him, his competitor wants to bury him, the governor
wants to drive the stake though his heart and, all the while, his
best friend's ex-wife claims she has the inside track to nail down
the contract, but that path leads across her rumpled bed. As the
stakes get higher and decision day draws near, Adam finds himself
falling hard for - a winsome yet unorthodox Presbyterian minister,
whose quirky viewpoints include her conclusion that the Essence of
Mankind hides in a bottle of ketchup. Torn between one woman
dangling the keys to a fortune and another who may very well hold
the road map to his wretched soul's redemption, the time is coming
for Adam Osborne to make the choice of his life.
