A chance recommendation from a taxi driver helped her find all these things, and sparked a quest that would take her to three cities, meeting people from all walks of life, and finding an array of unexpected flavors.

Book excerpt: "A delicious memoir that takes us from Buenos Aires to New York to Berlin as the author, driven by wanderlust and an unrelenting appetite, finds purpose, passion, and unexpected flavor. Layne Mosler's search for her next meal based on a recommendation from a cab driver starts in Buenos Aires: After leaving a tango club following a terrible turn on the dance floor, she impulsively asks her taxista to take her to his favorite restaurant. Soon she's savoring one of the best steaks of her life, and in the weeks after, repeating the experiment with equally delectable results. So begins the gustatory adventure that became the basis for her cult blog, Taxi Gourmet. In New York City the author continues her food quests and meets a pair of extraordinary lady cab drivers who convince her to become a taxi driver herself. In Berlin she becomes as enchanted with the city's aura of restless transformation as she does with the spicy curries, and a certain fellow cabbie who knows as much about Nietzsche as he does about sausage. With her vivid descriptions of places and people and food, Mosler, who has a degree in anthropology and more than a decade of experience in the restaurant trade, has given us a beguiling book that speaks to the beauty of chance encounters and the pleasures of not always knowing your destination."--
Book Synopsis The Hungry Brain by : Stephan J. Guyenet, Ph.D.
Download or read book The Hungry Brain written by Stephan J. Guyenet, Ph.D. and published by Flatiron Books. This book was released on 2017-02-07 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year From an obesity and neuroscience researcher with a knack for engaging, humorous storytelling, The Hungry Brain uses cutting-edge science to answer the questions: why do we overeat, and what can we do about it? No one wants to overeat. And certainly no one wants to overeat for years, become overweight, and end up with a high risk of diabetes or heart disease--yet two thirds of Americans do precisely that. Even though we know better, we often eat too much. Why does our behavior betray our own intentions to be lean and healthy? The problem, argues obesity and neuroscience researcher Stephan J. Guyenet, is not necessarily a lack of willpower or an incorrect understanding of what to eat. Rather, our appetites and food choices are led astray by ancient, instinctive brain circuits that play by the rules of a survival game that no longer exists. And these circuits don’t care about how you look in a bathing suit next summer. To make the case, The Hungry Brain takes readers on an eye-opening journey through cutting-edge neuroscience that has never before been available to a general audience. The Hungry Brain delivers profound insights into why the brain undermines our weight goals and transforms these insights into practical guidelines for eating well and staying slim. Along the way, it explores how the human brain works, revealing how this mysterious organ makes us who we are.

Book excerpt: This book explores China’s quest for energy sources, raw materials and natural resources around the world, with a specific emphasis on oil. China’s ubiquitous presence in Africa, Asia and Latin America is reshaping the world with regards to economics, politics and national security. It offers a comprehensive examination of China’s energy security strategy.

The two concluding chapters cover opportunities and risks to China, and examine how strategies can be developed into tangible actions. The volume also examines a number of overlapping debates regarding the varieties of capitalisms (autocratic vs. democratic), the urgent need for rebalancing as the world undergoes global financial crises and contestations to traditional powers, and the issues surrounding natural resource extraction in the context of global governance, neoliberalism and poverty traps. Key Features · Offers an in-depth analysis on the geopolitics of China's resource quest. · Assists students and scholars in understanding the Chinese model of autocratic capitalism and China’s novel ways of securing resources across three continents. · Explains China’s energy security strategy and its implications on US national security. · Explores the links between international relations and the geopolitics of scarcity.
Download or read book Hungry Moon written by Henrietta Goodman and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2013-11-18 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With intimacy and depth of insight, Henrietta Goodman’s Hungry Moon suggests paradox as the most basic mode of knowing ourselves and the world. We need hunger, the poems argue, but also satisfaction. We need pain to know joy, joy to know pain. We need to protect ourselves, but also to take risks. Though the poems are drawn from personal experience, Goodman shares the conviction of such poets as Anne Sexton and Louise Glück that when the poet writes of the self, the self cannot be exempt from culpability. Goodman’s speaker ranges through time and locale—from exploring the experience of flying in a small plane with her lover/pilot over the landscape of the American West to addressing the grief and retrospective self-scrutiny that arise from a friend’s death. Like the work of Mark Doty and Tony Hoagland, Goodman’s poems embrace concrete particularity, entangled as it is with imperfection and loss: “the Quik Stop’s fridge full of sandwiches and small bottles of livestock vaccines,” “the black, hammer-struck moon of your thumb,” “the empty water tower, one rusted panel kicked in like a door.”
Book Synopsis I'm HUNGRY! or AM I? by : Joanne M. Moff
Download or read book I'm HUNGRY! or AM I? written by Joanne M. Moff and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-01-27 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joanne M. Moff, PA-C has been a practicing Physician Assistant for nine years. She received her training at Kettering College of Medical Arts in Kettering, Ohio. She has experience in both general and cardiothoracic surgery, and she recently changed her focus to bariatric surgery. She currently works with Dr. Rita Anderson at Kettering Medical Center. Okay...I’ve Gone Through Weight Loss Surgery, Now What Do I Do?! is truly a labor of love. This book actually evolved from a rather simple idea. During employee orientation at Kettering Medical Center, new hires were encouraged to find ways in which to make a difference in their patients’ lives in whatever way they could – big or small. The inspiration to find your “pickle” was introduced. That began the process of seeking out some way to have an effect in bariatric patients’ lives. Within the first couple of weeks after starting with Dr. Rita Anderson in bariatric surgery, a “pickle” was discovered. Early recognition of the need for bariatric patients to have support following their surgery was made. In order for the patients to achieve success in the short term with their weight loss as well as in the long term with maintenance of their weight loss and an overall healthier lifestyle, support was seen as necessary. At first, simple ways to offer help were tossed around: a calendar, a mug, or a water bottle with tips, pointers and reminders on it listing how to live the new lifestyle as a bariatric patient. Then came the idea of a small booklet. The booklet would be interactive, allowing bariatric patients to offer their own helpful hints and suggestions, and there would be input from healthcare providers as well. As patients gave their contributions, research was being conducted and information was being gathered that would help to explain the why’s of the new bariatric lifestyle as well as specific ways to incorporate those lifestyle changes. The booklet grew, going from five sections into eight chapters. It has continued to grow and expand into a full-fledged book covering the most important issues with which a bariatric patient will be faced. The “pickle” that started out as a simple, sweet gherkin has turned into an elaborate, giant dill pickle. What began as a way to help patients in the New Life Weight Loss Surgery Center succeed has turned into a crusade to help all patients who have gone through bariatric surgery succeed. Bariatric patients have seen enough failure in their lives with failed diets and recurrent weight gain. With the support of this book as well as support from family, friends, healthcare providers and other bariatric patients, failure will hopefully be a thing of the past.

Book Synopsis Yemen: Fragile lives in hungry times by : Ashley Clements
Download or read book Yemen: Fragile lives in hungry times written by Ashley Clements and published by Oxfam. This book was released on 2011 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Widespread hunger and chronic malnutrition have taken hold in Yemen. A protracted political stalemate over much of the past six months has left the government in paralysis, prompting a fuel crisis that has brought the economy to the verge of collapse. A recent study by Oxfam found many communities to be on the brink of disaster. In other parts of the country the United Nations has found that some vulnerable communities are now facing critical levels of malnutrition. Donors remain deeply divided over their approaches to the region's poorest country, thus delaying responses and hindering funding. Hundreds of millions of dollars in assistance have been suspended. As the crisis builds, however, inaction is no longer an option. Interventions that address both immediate humanitarian needs and longer-term structural concerns must be urgently scaled up.
Book Synopsis Birder Interrupted by : M. Ralph Browning
Download or read book Birder Interrupted written by M. Ralph Browning and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-02-15 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by Roger Tory Peterson and James Fisher’s book Wild America, recent high school graduate M. Ralph Browning embarked on a tightly budgeted, year-long trip in the US looking for birds. The year was 1962. His 1955 VW Beetle broke after nine months, which forced a premature end to the journey. In 2005, after matters of military duty, college, a family, and a career in birds at Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History, the author resumed the interrupted trip. This time, he was with the girl he’d left behind in 1962, and they birded Texas, the Southwest, and California. The author chronicles the trip with observations on birds while touching on history, geology, and conservation. The cost of keeping alive includes periodic notes on the price of gasoline (about $0.33/gallon in 1962) and food. The author had earlier written to numerous birders for information about birding particular locations, and many of those individuals across the country showed him birds and invited him into their homes for a gratefully appreciated warm bed and home cooking. The 2005 leg of the journey was assisted by bird finding guides and the help of the legendary Jon Dunn and numerous motels.
Download or read book Hungry written by Crystal Renn and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2009-09-08 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now available in paperback, Hungry is an uplifting memoir with a universal message about body image, beauty, and self-confidence, and an inspiring, cautionary tale for women of all ages. At fourteen, I was a regular junior high school student in Clinton, Mississippi, when a modeling scout told me: You could be a supermodel...but you'll have to lose a little weight. For glamour, fame, and escape, I lost seventy pounds. This is a photo of me at sixteen, when I signed a big modeling contract, moved to New York City, and started traveling around the world. It is also when I developed a ferocious case of anorexia and exercise bulimia. Until I decided enough was enough—I wanted to live. And so I ate. And ate. Offering a behind-the-scenes peek into the modeling industry, as well as a trenchant look at our weight-obsessed culture, Hungry is an inspiring and cautionary tale that will resonate with anyone who has battled society’s small-minded definitions of beauty. This is me now, the leading plus-size model in America.
Download or read book The Hungry Years written by William Leith and published by Anchor Canada. This book was released on 2010-08-20 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Hunger is the loudest voice in my head. I’m hungry most of the time.” William Leith began the eighties slim; by the end of that decade he had packed on an uncomfortable amount of weight. In the early nineties, he was slim again, but his weight began to creep up once more. On January 20th, 2003, he woke up on the fattest day of his life. That same day he left London for New York to interview controversial diet guru Dr. Robert Atkins. But what was meant to be a routine journalistic assignment set Leith on an intensely personal and illuminating journey into the mysteries of hunger and addiction. From his many years as a journalist, Leith knows that being fat is something people find more difficult to talk about than nearly anything else. But in The Hungry Years he does precisely that. Leith uses his own pathological relationship with food as a starting point and reveals himself, driven to the kitchen first thing in the morning to inhale slice after slice of buttered toast, wracked by a physical and emotional need that only food can satisfy. He travels through fast food-scented airports and coffee shops as he explores the all-encompassing power of advertising and the unattainable notions of physical perfection that feed the multibillion dollar diet industry. Fat has been called a feminist issue: William Leith’s unblinking look at the physical consequences and psychological pain of being an overweight man charts fascinating new territory for everyone who has ever had a craving or counted a calorie. The Hungry Years is a story of food, fat, and addiction that is both funny and heartwrenching. I was sitting in a café on the corner of 3rd Avenue and 24th Street in Manhattan, holding a menu. I was overweight. In fact, I was fat. Like millions of other people, I had entered into a pathological relationship with food, and with my own body. For years I had desperately wanted to write about why this had happened — not just to me, but to all those other people as well. I knew it had a lot to do with food. But I also knew it was connected to all sorts of outside forces. If I could understand what had happened to me, I could tell people what had happened to them, too. Right there and then, I decided that I would do everything to discover why I had got fat. I would look at every angle. And then I would lose weight, and report back from the slim world. —Excerpt from The Hungry Years

In these highly-charged personal reflections, Cortez reveals the complicated machinery of a cop’s heart, mind, and soul by dissecting the differences between cops and civilians. A must-read to understand the intangibles demanded by policing—courage, determination, patience, and a belief in justice—despite the grimy backdrop where life can become death in an instant.
