My Hungry Head: Dismantling the Diet Prison: A Real Life Guide to Understanding Your Body, Controlling Your Hunger and Taking Charge of Your Weight
We are constantly bombarded by signals telling us to eat. Some were wired into our bodies thousand of years ago. Some jump out at us from the TV screen or the supermarket shelf. But over time, we can all learn to sort out these signals and reach and maintain a healthy weight. This method works because it deals with causes, not with symptoms. It explores reasons why we overeat because there's really no "we". Everyone is different, which is precisely why "off-the-rack" diets rarely work. There is no magic bullet. But there is a way, with time and patience, that we can each get to our own version of happy, healthy and free.

Authentic Texas

Winner, Southwest Book Award, Border Regional Library Association, 2015The Texas of vast open spaces inhabited by independent, self-reliant men and women may be more of a dream than a reality for the state’s largely urban population, but it still exists in the Big Bend. One of the most sparsely settled areas of the United States, the Big Bend attracts people who are willing to forego many modern conveniences for a lifestyle that proclaims “don’t fence me in.” Marcia Hatfield Daudistel and Bill Wright believe that the character traits exemplified by folks in the Big Bend-including self-sufficiency, friendliness, and neighborliness-go back to the founding of the state. In this book, they introduce us to several dozen Big Bend residents-old and young, long-settled and recently arrived, racially diverse-who show us what it means to be an authentic Texan.Interviewing people in Marathon, Big Bend National Park, Terlingua, Redford, Presidio, Alpine, Marfa, Valentine, Balmorhea, Limpia Crossing, and Fort Davis, Daudistel and Wright discover the reasons why residents of the Big Bend make this remote area of Texas their permanent home. In talking to ranchers and writers, entrepreneurs and artists, people living off the grid and urban refugees, they find a common willingness to overcome difficulties through individual skill and initiative. As one interviewee remarks, you have to have a lot of “try” in you to make a life in the Big Bend. Bill Wright’s photographs of the people and landscapes are a perfect complement to the stories of these authentic Texans. Together, these voices and images offer the most complete, contemporary portrait of the Texas Big Bend.

OFFENSES COME IN A MILLION FORMSAre there people in your life that drive you crazy? Does your blood pressure go up every time certain names are mentioned?

He calls his followers to love and to forgive. The way of the Cross is not an easy road... But the rewards are well worth the cost. 490 Love: A Journey to Forgiveness is about going back to the basics Jesus left in the instruction manual.

This self-contained book is the first to provide readers with an introduction to mathematical foundations and modeling of stellarator design. It covers the fundamental theoretical building blocks of magnetic fields modeling, some of the associated challenges, and the main concepts behind optimization for the design of stellarators. The book is divided into two parts, with Part I providing a general introduction to the stellarator concept and Part II describing mathematical models and numerical methods commonly used in stellarator design.The authors derive, present, and discuss relevant models, using equations and figures to demonstrate the main ideas. They carefully select language that is close to the plasma physics literature, while providing enough details to be accessible to a reader without previous background in this field.

On the northeast coast of Madagascar, near the town of Vohémar, is a large cemetery dating to the fourteenth century. During World War II, French troops excavated the site but left no comprehensive report. University of Michigan archaeologist Henry T. Wright led an intensive archaeological survey in the region, hoping to find evidence of earlier settlements. In four seasons, the researchers found evidence of several settlements dating to different periods: a large port site dating to the same era as the cemetery; early estuarine villages of the 7th and 8th centuries; and a rock shelter with microlithic tools. In this study, Wright presents the survey results in detail, including the evidence for settlements as well as illustrations of the ceramics and stone tools.
Deception In The Marketplace

Deception In The Marketplace

This is the first scholarly book to fully address the topics of the psychology of deceptive persuasion in the marketplace and consumer self-protection. Deception permeates the American marketplace. Deceptive marketing harms consumers’ health, welfare and financial resources, reduces people’s privacy and self-esteem, and ultimately undermines trust in society. Individual consumers must try to protect themselves from marketers’ misleading communications by acquiring personal marketplace deception-protection skills that go beyond reliance on legal or regulatory protections. Understanding the psychology of deceptive persuasion and consumer self-protection should be a central goal for future consumer behavior research. The authors explore these questions. What makes persuasive communications misleading and deceptive? How do marketing managers decide to prevent or practice deception in planning their campaigns? What skills must consumers acquire to effectively cope with marketers’ deception tactics? What does research tell us about how people detect, neutralize and resist misleading persuasion attempts? What does research suggest about how to teach marketplace deception protection skills to adolescents and adults? Chapters cover theoretical perspectives on deceptive persuasion; different types of deception tactics; how deception-minded marketers think; prior research on how people cope with deceptiveness; the nature of marketplace deception protection skills; how people develop deception protection skills in adolescence and adulthood; prior research on teaching consumers marketplace deception protection skills; and societal issues such as regulatory frontiers, societal trust, and consumer education practices. This unique book is intended for scholars and researchers. It should be essential reading for upper level and graduate courses in consumer behavior, social psychology, communication, and marketing. Marketing practitioners and marketplace regulators will find it stimulating and authoritative, as will social scientists and educators who are concerned with consumer welfare.

The Data Curation Network (DCN) is a membership organization of institutional and non-profit data repositories whose vision is to advance open research by making data more ethical, reusable, and understandable. Although initially conceived of and established through grant funding, the DCN transitioned to a sustainable, member-funded organization in July 2021, and is now composed of almost 50 data curators from 17 institutions.The Art, Science, and Magic of the Data Curation Network: A Retrospective on Cross Institutional Collaboration captures the results of a project retrospective meeting and describes the necessary components of the DCN’s sustained collaboration in the hopes that the insights will be of use to other collaborative efforts. In particular, the authors describe the successes of the community and challenges of launching a cross-institutional network. Additionally, this publication details the administrative, tool-based, and trust-based structures necessary for establishing this community, the “radical collaboration” that is the cornerstone of the DCN, and potential future collaborations to address shared challenges in libraries and research data management. This in-depth case study provides an overview of the critical work of launching a collaborative network and transitioning to sustainability. This publication will be of special interest to research librarians, data curators, and anyone interested in academic community building.

Att leva med bakterier: möjligheter till ett levbart immunitärt liv är en antologi som tvärvetenskapligt undersöker betydelsen av bakteriers växande antibiotikaresistens. Detta är en förändring som håller på att göra antibiotikan ineffektiv och därmed omskapa den mänskliga historien på lång sikt. Det uppskattas att tio miljoner människor år 2050 kommer att dö av infektioner som inte längre svarar på den i dag tillgängliga antibiotikan. Hur kan vi här och nu hitta alternativa vägar mot en mer levbar framtid – med eller utan verksam antibiotika? Antologin är ett resultat av det tvärvetenskapliga forskarsamarbete som under 2019-20 bedrevs vid Pufendorfinstitutet, Lunds universitetet under Temat Postantibiotiska framtider. I antologin utvecklar tio forskare sina tankar och idéer kring hur samhället idag och i morgon kan utformas för att hantera smittämnen som bakterier och virus i vår vardag. Smittämnen det i framtiden kanske inte finns något botemedel mot. Redaktörer för antologin är Kristofer Hansson, etnolog och lektor vid Institutionen för socialt arbete på Malmö universitet; Cecilia Lenander, apotekare verksam vid Region Skånes regionala läkemedelsenhet samt Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper i Malmö, Lunds universitet och Henrik Loodin, sociolog och lektor vid Institutionen för service management och tjänstevetenskap på Lunds universitet

It's been six months since Sarah's mom died. Three months since her dad fell apart. Sarah has left her fine arts boarding school to take care of her dad and her little brother, and now she's trying to hold everything together at home while adjusting to the local public high school. With her dad's drinking and spending getting out of control, Sarah struggles to make sure that the bills are paid, that her brother is fed and safe, that her dad's grief won't crush them all. She has no time for art, unless she's cranking out a piece to sell online for some grocery money. And she definitely doesn't have the time or the emotional energy to find out if her sweet, handsome classmate, David Garza, could be more than a friend.But then a school project prompts Sarah to delve into her mom's Mexican and Guatemalan roots. As she learns more about this side of her heritage, Sarah starts to understand her mom better--and starts to face her own grief. When she stumbles upon a long-buried piece of history that mattered deeply to her mom, Sarah realizes she can't carry her pain silently anymore. She has to speak up, and she can't do it alone.
