New Releases by David Perlmutter

Animation has been part of television since the start of the medium but it has rarely received unbiased recognition from media scholars. More often, it has been ridiculed for supposedly poor technical quality, accused of trafficking in violence aimed at children, and neglected for indulging in vulgar behavior. These accusations are often made categorically, out of prejudice or ignorance, with little attempt to understand the importance of each program on its own terms. This book takes a serious look at the whole genre of television animation, from the early themes and practices through the evolution of the art to the present day. Examining the productions of individual studios and producers, the author establishes a means of understanding their work in new ways, at the same time discussing the ways in which the genre has often been unfairly marginalized by critics, and how, especially in recent years, producers have both challenged and embraced this "marginality" as a vital part of their work. By taking seriously something often thought to be frivolous, the book provides a framework for understanding the persistent presence of television animation in the American media--and how surprisingly influential it has been.

Sci-fi fan or not, aliens hold a fascination for humans. The mystery of UFOs, the thought they may walk among us without us knowing, the thought they may be watching us all the time... these things ensure that we, as a race, are absorbed with thoughts of ‘aliens’, however they might show themselves. In giving Thirteen’s talented writers a theme like that, it was guaranteed that the stories which came in would cover every possible interpretation of the alien theme that you can imagine, and then some. Walk some strange pathways, read some strange stories, discover some strange aliens... Check out more Thirteen Press & Horrified Press titles here: horrifiedpress.wordpress.com

Oproti obecnému přesvědčení nevyplývají mozkové poruchy a nemoci jen z genetické výbavy, ale převážně ze stravovacích návyků. Neurolog a dietolog David Perlmutter na základě své dlouholeté praxe dokazuje, že konzumace sacharidů, cukru a dokonce celozrnných výrobků může vést k demenci, hyperaktivitě, epilepsii, pocitům úzkosti, chronickým bolestem hlavy, depresi, poklesu sexuálního pudu a mnoha dalším problémům. Smyslem knihy přitom není jen populární výklad, ale především poskytnutí návodu, jak se těmto hrozbám bránit, včetně příkladu konkrétního čtyřtýdenního plánu, který pomůže vaší mysli, aby si uchovala svěžest a zdraví.

In ''Het verlichte brein'' van Alberto Villoldo en David Perlmutter worden trauma’s uit het verleden geheeld, en de weg vrijgemaakt voor innerlijke vrede, diepe inzichten en creativiteit. Vind de weg naar verlichting met Het verlichte brein van Alberto Villoldo en David Perlmutter. De zoektocht naar verlichting roept al gauw beelden op van mediterende monniken, sjamanistische rituelen en biddende nonnen. Niet iets wat is weggelegd voor ons ‘gewone stervelingen’ dus. ‘Onzin’, beweren neuroloog David Perlmutter en medisch antropoloog en psycholoog Alberto Villoldo. ‘Verlichting behoort voor iedereen tot de mogelijkheden.’ Door de kennis en krachten uit hun respectievelijke disciplines te bundelen, hebben zij een uniek programma ontworpen waarmee zij iedereen klaar kunnen stomen voor verlichting. Power-Up-Your-Brain is een intensief praktijkgericht traject van slechts 5 weken, waarbij zij de lezer stap voor stap begeleiden. Door een combinatie van onder meer de juiste voeding, lichaamsbeweging, meditatie en visualisaties is het mogelijk trauma’s uit het verleden te helen. Daarna staat niets meer in de weg om innerlijke vrede, diepe inzichten en creativiteit te ervaren. Het verlichte brein is de missende link tussen wetenschap en geest.

Nature didn’t finish your child’s brain at birth. It’s up to you to maximize your child’s mental skills without causing additional stress. Acclaimed neurologist and bestselling author of Grain Brain, David Perlmutter, MD, offers these valuable tools: Simple games to reinforce memory pathways in the brain Information on common household products and children’s toys that contain brain-damaging neurotoxins The right foods and supplements to boost intelligence and turn on your child’s smart genes How to turn the television, the computer, and video games into educational tools Proven ways to reduce the risk of your child developing ADD and ADHD Between birth and age five, your child has up to thirty IQ points at stake. Scientists now know that the human brain is undergoing a constant and dramatic transformation in the first years of life. During this peak time of development, every activity and experience leaves an indelible mark on your baby’s brain, for better or worse. The right kind of stimulation and nutrition will create connections in the brain that promote intelligence and raise IQ. The wrong kinds of activities and foods can stifle intellectual development, destroy brain cells, and leave your child more vulnerable to learning or behavior problems down the road. So, what can you do during the first five years to ensure that your child is primed to excel? The good news is that raising a smarter child is easier than you think. It doesn’t require making an investment in expensive equipment or high priced tutors. It’s as simple as playing the right games, serving the right foods, and maintaining a brain-enhancing environment in your home by eliminating common household toxins. In Raise a Smarter Child by Kindergarten by Dr. David Perlmutter, you’ll learn easy and highly effective strategies that can vastly improve your child’s brain power and reduce his or her chances of developing ADD and ADHD. For example, you can: Stimulate Memory: Changing a component on the over-the-crib mobile every week makes the baby compare what was there before to what’s there now, reinforcing memory pathways in the brain that are critical for learning. Spread out those shots: Schedule more frequent trips to the pediatrician for vaccinations, so that fewer shots are administered at once. Flooding the immune system with a cocktail of different vaccines can damage the nervous system. Get rid of toxins: Protecting a child from neurotoxins found in foods, toys and even baby bottles can help preserve precious IQ points. Inside, Dr. Perlmutter provides a scientifically backed food and supplement plan for children and nursing mothers and details the many brain-building activities that you can do with your child. In addition, he reveals the numerous toys and household products that contain harmful, brain-damaging toxins and shows how to identify and combat common childhood problems like ADD and food allergies that may affect your child’s development. Your job over the first five years is to help your child build the best brain possible. With Dr. Perlmutter’s help, you can mine the countless opportunities you have each day to make your child smarter, happier and better prepared to excel.
