"Gut Feelings is an autobiographical book that takes the reader by the hand along the winding path of inflammatory bowel disease. In all its ups and downs, its twists and turns, it presents an underlying promise of a better understanding of the disease, as well as a better understanding of themselves for readers, for whom it is a collection of useful advice in self-help and personal growth. Rafael Moreno's personal story touches the soft underbelly of those who have inflammatory bowel disease as well as their family members, and helps them in clarifying medical and personal issues equally well."Professor Zvi Fireman Director of the Institute of Gastroenterology, Hillel Yaffe Medical Center "Gut Feelings is an important tool in assisting with dealing with the disease. The book includes the personal story of Rafael Moreno, who writes with great humor and sensitivity. It contains much information and guidance on how we can better tackle the disease, and how we can improve our quality of life. Among the various tools available in confronting the disease, this book is one of the most important tools in helping me and in continuing to help me in changing my life. Recommended for every patient and family member."Adam Algarisi (Crohn's disease patient for ten years) "I made my first real acquaintance with Crohn's disease in Cuzco in Peru. On the second morning of my trip to Machu Picchu I rose with unfamiliar sensations in my stomach. If I hadn't already known for five years that I had this disease called Crohn's and which is accompanied by diarrhea, anemia and other symptoms, I would have described what I was feeling as a real pain." "After long days of hospitalization, hallucination and a near operation by a Peruvian doctor, the episode fortunately passed. Only then, on a relaxed Brazilian beach, did I understand for the first time, in view of my Crohn's disease, just how much my condition could deteriorate if I did not take good care of my health. More importantly, though, I realized that my body had the capacity to heal itself, or at least bring about a marked improvement." Gut Feelings is the personal story of a young man who one fine day was told that he had a bowel disease. No-one was able to tell him exactly what to do about it, so with his own blood and guts he had to discover it for himself. This book is intended for you as a Crohn's or Colitis patient, and for your family members who help you to deal with it. Besides its personal story, the book serves as a useful source of information about nutrition, about conventional and alternative methods of treatment, as well as recommending a desirable lifestyle for you as a patient. Rafael Moreno, an electrical engineer, married to Lital, and father of Alon, Maayan, Noam and Alma, has had Crohn's disease for over twenty years, and has managed to live with it in relative peace. "It's not just another book in a bookstore. It's a book that really touches you or those close to you. If you've been exposed to the world of IBD, reading this book is a personal duty in gaining a comprehensive and truthful view of the daily life of those who have to confront the disease..."Uri Fenster (Crohn's disease patient for eight years)
The first time I considered building a Cafe Racer, some years ago, my knowledge of mechanics was more than limited, I had no idea of design and of course I did not know the regulations regarding motorcycle modifications in Spain. The result: a '79 Ducati Forza painted and upholstered by myself, almost impossible to drive and of course not authorized to circulate in any city. I had to sell it for parts because the damage could not be solved in any other way. After Afortunada, as that Ducati was called, came many more. Many hours of training, failures and victories, and above all many hours in the workshop. Hours dedicated to what I liked the most, restoring and transforming motorcycles.I love what I do, and I love to tell you about it. Through this book I want to help you not to make the same mistakes I made when I started, but above all, I want to show you that you can do it. You can choose a bike to be the base of your Cafe Racer project, you can design your dream bike yourself, you can get the elements and mount them on the chassis, and finally you can get everything to work perfectly. I want to show you that all you need is a toolbox, a small space (even a storage room) and lots and lots of enthusiasm. I am not a mechanic, although I admire them wholeheartedly. Thanks to listening to them I have learned much of what I know, but, like doctors, they sometimes speak in a language that is very complicated for us common mortals to understand. I'm going to tell you how to build a Cafe Racer, but I'm going to tell it to you as if we were having a beer in the bar next to the workshop, with words that everyone can understand, because that's what this story is about, bringing the transformation of motorcycles to people like you and me. This is the beginning of the road, are you coming up?
La primera vez que me plante construir una Cafe Racer, hace ya algunos a os, mis conocimientos de mec nica eran m s que limitados, no ten a ni la menor idea de dise o y por supuesto desconoc a la normativa relativa a la homologaci n de reformas en una motocicleta.El resultado: una Ducati Forza del 79 pintada y tapizada por m mismo, casi imposible de conducir y por supuesto no homologable para circular por ninguna ciudad, ni pasar la ITV. Tuve que venderla por piezas pues el estropicio no pod a solucionarse de otra manera. Despu s de Afortunada, pues as se llamaba aquella Ducati, vinieron muchas m s. Muchas horas de formaci n, de fracasos y victorias, y sobre todo muchas horas en el taller. Horas dedic ndome a lo que m s me gustaba, restaurar y transformar motos.Me encanta lo que hago, y me encanta contarlo. A trav s de este libro quiero ayudarte a no cometer los mismos errores que comet cuando empec , pero por encima de todo, quiero demostrarte que puedes hacerlo. Puedes elegir una moto que sea la base de tu proyecto Cafe Racer, puedes dise ar t mismo la moto de tus sue os, puedes conseguir los elementos y montarlos sobre el chasis, y finalmente puedes conseguir que todo funcione a la perfecci n. Quiero demostrarte que s lo te har falta una caja de herramientas, un peque o local (incluso un trastero) y muchas, muchas ganas.No soy mec nico, aunque los admiro de todo coraz n. Gracias a escucharles he aprendido gran parte de lo que s , pero, como los m dicos, a veces hablan en un idioma muy complicado de entender para los comunes mortales. Voy a contarte c mo hacer una Cafe Racer, pero voy a cont rtelo como si estuvi ramos tom ndonos una cerveza en el bar de al lado del taller, con palabras que entienda todo el mundo, porque de eso trata esta historia del Cafe Racer, de acercar la transformaci n de motos a las personas como t y como yo.Aqu comienza el camino, subes?

Enological Chemistry is written for the professional enologist tasked with finding the right balance of compounds to create or improve wine products. Related titles lack the appropriate focus for this audience, according to reviewers, failing either to be as comprehensive on the topic of chemistry, to include chemistry as part of the broader science of wine, or targeting a less scientific audience and including social and historical information not directly pertinent to the understanding of the role of chemistry in successful wine production. The topics in the book have been sequenced identically with the steps of the winemaking process. Thus, the book describes the most salient compounds involved in each vinification process, their properties and their balance; also, theoretical knowledge is matched with its practical application. The primary aim is to enable the reader to identify the specific compounds behind enological properties and processes, their chemical balance and their influence on the analytical and sensory quality of wine, as well as the physical, chemical and microbiological factors that affect their evolution during the winemaking process.
