Ben prima che la pandemia ci mettesse alla prova con il suo carico di ansia e stress, già numerosi sondaggi rivelavano come ci sentissimo sfiduciati, diffidenti, soli e vulnerabili. Passando al setaccio le più recenti scoperte neuroscientifiche, David e Austin Perlmutter dimostrano che a influenzare la struttura del cervello e, quindi, la percezione del mondo, sono le nostre abitudini: tanto più è tossico il nostro nutrimento - alimentare e spirituale -, tanto più frequente sarà lo sviluppo di malattie croniche, stress e infiammazione. La buona notizia è che ognuno di noi può agire oggi per preservare il proprio benessere, in particolare quello mentale. Grazie al programma messo a punto dai due autori, in dieci giorni saremo in grado di sviluppare consapevolmente pratiche che ci permetteranno di riprendere in mano le redini della nostra mente, alleviare le paure e rinnovare il nostro organismo. Basteranno infatti alcune semplici strategie per trascorrere più tempo a contatto con la natura, regolare l'uso della tecnologia, curare l'igiene del sonno, fare attività fisica, meditare e alimentarsi in modo più sano attraverso la preparazione di piatti ricchi ed equilibrati, come suggeriscono, per esempio, le quaranta ricette incluse nel volume. Per cominciare a seguire questo nuovo ritmo, ci sono tre semplici regole di base: essere onesti, impegnarsi, registrare i progressi. 'Disintossica la mente' ci aiuta a restituire al cervello tutta la sua potenza, permettendoci di formulare pensieri più lucidi, fare scelte migliori e stringere legami più forti con gli altri. È un percorso c

David Austin's first collection of poetry is the tale of The Breathing Earth: not a metaphor, but a living entity, an ecosystem that is the root of every story. Often drawing on his own life experiences in these personal tales, here is the philosophical, meditative poetry at the heart of the English tradition. David Austin is the author of a number of books in his capacity as the most distinguished breeder of roses and founder of the UK's largest and most prestigious rose-grower, but in The Breathing Earth we find a book unlike any of his other work: the account of a career and a life spent in contemplation of the natural world and human behaviour.

Genetic epidemiology plays a key role in discovering genetic factors influencing health and disease, and in understanding how genes and environmental risk factors interact. There is growing interest in this field within public health, with the goal of translating the results into promoting health and preventing disease in both families and populations.

This textbook provides graduate students with a working knowledge of genetic epidemiology research methods. Following an overview of the field, the book reviews key genetic concepts, provides an update on relevant genomic technology, including genome-wide chips and DNA sequencing, and describes methods for assessing the magnitude of genetic influences on diseases and risk factors. The book focuses on research study designs for discovering disease susceptibility genes, including family-based linkage analysis, candidate gene and genome-side association studies, assessing gene-environment interactions and epistasis, studies of Non-Mendelian inheritance, and statistical analyses of data from these studies. Specific applications of each research method are illustrated using a variety of diseases and risk factors relevant to public health, and useful web-based genetic analysis software, human reference panels, and repositories, that can greatly facilitate this work, are described.

In the 1960s, for at least a brief moment, Montreal became what seemed an unlikely centre of Black Power and the Caribbean left. In October 1968 the Congress of Black Writers at McGill University brought together well-known Black thinkers and activists from Canada, the United States, Africa, and the Caribbean?people like C.L.R. James, Stokely Carmichael, Miriam Makeba, Rocky Jones, and Walter Rodney. Within months of the Congress, a Black-led protest at Sir George Williams University (now Concordia) exploded on the front pages of newspapers across the country?raising state security fears about Montreal as the new hotbed of international Black radical politics.

Widely praised, ARGUMENTATION AND DEBATE, 13E, uses a clear, concise, and engaging presentation that makes even complex material easy for students to understand. The authors have adapted the text over the years to match changing practices in debate and teaching while preserving classical and conventional approaches to learning debate. This edition retains its rhetorical roots with a flexible tone open to a diverse array of debate styles that is appropriate in the contemporary context. It values the importance of inclusion and sensitivity to differences of culture, gender, orientation, class and other factors as they impact communicative choices and argumentation. The authors have a preference for team topic evidence-based policy debate; however, the text strives to offer viable tools for a wide range of readers interested in improving their critical thinking for reasoned decision making.
