Soldiers’ first-hand accounts of Second World War active service invariably make inspiring and exciting reading but Mines, Bombs, Bullets and Bridges is exceptional for several reasons. First, Brian Moss’s role as a bomb disposal specialist was especially hazardous. Secondly, he was in the thick of the action from the start, dealing with unexploded ordnance during the London blitz. He was then deployed as a frontline sapper to North Africa and onto Sicily before landing on Gold Beach on D-Day. Despite many close calls he was relatively unscathed until taken out by a butterfly bomb at Nijmegen. Fortunately, despite serious injury he lived, quite literally, to tell the tale but his war was over. While the author’s graphic account compares favorably with the very best wartime memoirs, it also has a unique element, namely examples of his outstanding artistic skill. It is truly remarkable that he not only managed to produce so many fine works under combat conditions and that he was able to draw such accurate maps from memory. His sketches and paintings bring a special dimension to this story. What a privilege it is to feast on the words and images created by this exceptionally brave and talented man.

Korean edition of [Hooked: Food, Free Will, and How the Food Giants Exploit Our Addictions] by Michael Moss. New York Times bestseller. From the author of [Salt Sugar Fat] comes a gripping exposé of how the processed food industry exploits our evolutionary instincts, the emotions we associate with food, and legal loopholes in their pursuit of profit over public health. Korean edition translated by Yeon Ah Ram.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of Salt Sugar Fat comes a “gripping” (The Wall Street Journal) exposé of how the processed food industry exploits our evolutionary instincts, the emotions we associate with food, and legal loopholes in their pursuit of profit over public health. “The processed food industry has managed to avoid being lumped in with Big Tobacco—which is why Michael Moss’s new book is so important.”—Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit Everyone knows how hard it can be to maintain a healthy diet. But what if some of the decisions we make about what to eat are beyond our control? Is it possible that food is addictive, like drugs or alcohol? And to what extent does the food industry know, or care, about these vulnerabilities? In Hooked, Pulitzer Prize–winning investigative reporter Michael Moss sets out to answer these questions—and to find the true peril in our food. Moss uses the latest research on addiction to uncover what the scientific and medical communities—as well as food manufacturers—already know: that food, in some cases, is even more addictive than alcohol, cigarettes, and drugs. Our bodies are hardwired for sweets, so food giants have developed fifty-six types of sugar to add to their products, creating in us the expectation that everything should be cloying; we’ve evolved to prefer fast, convenient meals, hence our modern-day preference for ready-to-eat foods. Moss goes on to show how the processed food industry—including major companies like Nestlé, Mars, and Kellogg’s—has tried not only to evade this troubling discovery about the addictiveness of food but to actually exploit it. For instance, in response to recent dieting trends, food manufacturers have simply turned junk food into junk diets, filling grocery stores with “diet” foods that are hardly distinguishable from the products that got us into trouble in the first place. As obesity rates continue to climb, manufacturers are now claiming to add ingredients that can effortlessly cure our compulsive eating habits. A gripping account of the legal battles, insidious marketing campaigns, and cutting-edge food science that have brought us to our current public health crisis, Hooked lays out all that the food industry is doing to exploit and deepen our addictions, and shows us why what we eat has never mattered more.

Culzean Castle on the Ayrshire coast is the most visited property of the National Trust for Scotland. This lavishly illustrated book tells the whole history of the castle.

Sir Alexander Boswell (1775-1822) wrote Scottish songs that are still performed today, such as â oeJennyâ (TM)s Bawbeeâ . An extravagant character and a Tory, he wrote flagrant lampoons of his Whig opponents. One of them greatly incensed his Whig cousin James Stuart of Dunearn, who challenged him to a duel in which Boswell was killed. At his trial for murder, Stuart was represented as a peaceable man unaccustomed to the use of firearms. Nothing could be further from the truth. He served in the militia, was irascible and, at times, violent. This book tells the compelling stories of the remarkable tangled events that led to their quarrel. The duel marked a turning point in Scottish politics away from a turbulent and fractious past to a quieter future. The Whigs triumphed, paving the way for liberal Scotland. In addition, this volume includes, for the first time, many of Boswellâ (TM)s poems and witty lampoons.

This book is intended to be an \"Antidote\" or \"RED PILL\" for readers that will reveal the truth, and open your eyes to see the true reality of racism white supremacy. This book will attempt to decode, define, and enable the readers to defend, and counter act, racism white supremacy. The major areas of people activity including: education, economics, entertainment labor, law, politics, religion, sex and war, will each be explored individually and systemically within the context or racism white supremacy. These areas of people activity were first enumerated by Neely Fuller in his book, The United Independent Compensatory Code/System/Concept. However, in order to advance Mr. Fuller''s concept, this book will include the people activity of health, and also consider how racism white supremacy manifests as environmental racism, and negatively effects the health and wellness outcomes of people of color. The history and origin of the invented concept of race will be explored, as well as the history of racism white supremacy in America. In addition to Mr. Fuller, the work of our late great \"Queen Mother\" Dr. Frances Cress-Welsing, who was a colleague of Mr. Fuller, and who is to a large degree responsible for his work being publicized, will also be explored and considered. In order to provide a historical context, the history of the invented concept of race, Diop''s Two Cradle Theory which explains the environmental conditions that produced the worldview that bred white racism, the concept of Maat which are the principles that govern man and the universe, the history of racism white supremacy and how it is manifested in all 9 people activities, including the added 10th people activity of \"Health,\" will be considered and explored in this book.

The First lady of Metaphysics Dr. Johnnie Colemon stated: \"I AM the thinker that thinks the thought that creates the thing\". The purpose of this book, is to enable the reader to understand and apply the awesome power of thought to obtain your desired life outcomes. Ralph W. Emerson stated: \"our lives are the result of our dominant thoughts.\" The Bible stated that, \"As a man/woman thinks, so it is.\" This book will help the reader understand and apply these universal and timeless, truths.

The purpose of this book is to provide the reader with a definition, history, and review of the literature on the subject of African American psychology and mental health, from an African centered perspective. The pioneers and practitioners of African/Black psychology and family therapy will be explored and examined. As a professor of psychology at an HBCU, I wanted to create a resource that would introduce the undergraduate reader to the much needed subject of African American and or Black psychology from an African centered perspective. I am for the most part the editor of the information in this book. My goal is to let the most noted pioneers and theoreticians of African American Black psychology, as well as the field of family therapy, speak for themselves. Excerpts from books and papers and interviews will be quoted. In addition, traditional African healing rituals and therapeutic interventions such as Kemetic / Egyptian Yoga will also be explored.

This book will consider the West African Akan concept of Sankofa. In addition to a providing a literature review of the concept of Sankofa, quotes from Kemetaphysicians (Practitioners/Griots of Sankofa), will also be provided. I believe that you can''t heal \"Bebe''s kids\" with the \"Brandy Bunch\" solutions. African people require African healing and restoration. We can do this by \"KEMETAMORPHING BLACK TO THE FUTURE\" and reclaim our African-Centered healing cultural and wellness practices.

If I could offer you a magic potion that would make you happier, healthier, more optimistic and more productive, and tell you that potion would cost nothing and will require very little effort to use, would you be interested? Each of us has something even better than a potion that will do all of those things and more. Gratitude! Gratitude is not only a gift to God; it is a gift from God. Gratitude serves those who are grateful. \"Gratitude will open doors you didn''t know existed. Gratitude will release you from the prison you didn''t realize you were in. Gratitude is a gift to those that know what it is and how to use it. Gratitude will transform your life. Gratitude is more than just saying thank you. Acknowledging the source of your good and giving constant thanks is your assurance you will continue to receive more....in abundance, from that source. It''s MAGIC....

The purpose of this book is to inspire the reader with the idea that the ability to transform and heal, is within our own personal faith capability. We have to look no further than our personal inner selves for the power of God. The ancient wisdom that Jesus and others have shared, is that the kingdom and power of God is within. Some might call the teachings and ideas in this book \"New Age.\" But it is really \"Old Age\" knowledge. Most of the ideas being presented are as ancient as Egypt, or Kemet as the Africans called the land, where many of the ingredients that make up Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and other religions originated. It is only considered new because the traditional religions have been slow to teach the people a truth that would set them free. Free from dependence on the religion itself. Belief systems tend to be self-validating and self-perpetuating, but seldom self-critical. The ability to think out of your theological box will enable you to evolve and grow beyond the limits of any particular system of belief.

This book is about the power of black Love. Black collective and individual self love is the cure that will heal Black people and Black relationships. We must first love ourselves before we can love others. This book will address the history and state of marriage in the Black community as well as explore guidelines for healthy marriages and relationships.

This book is guided by the fact that the ingridients that make up Western Religions, are derived from Ancient African Spiritual Systems. What I am positing in this book, is that African people must deify their own African culture to be mentally and spiritually free. We must practice Sankofa, and reach back and get our culture and history. We must give up the white pictures of Jesus/Horus, because image and the color of deities, do make a positive or negative difference in the African mind.

\"Just Decide It! Wellbeing is a Choice\

The story of how you overcame the tests of life is your testimony. No test, no testimony. How we came through the test, becomes a life best practices or L.B.P. I have learned L.B.P''s from my mother and father, mentors, ministers, brothers in the barber shop, teachers in school and from the cold hard streets of Detroit Michigan where I grew up. The idea of seeking out the best practice for any endeavor is wise. It is not necessary to reinvent the wheel. In order to take it to the next level, we must build on the wisdom of those who came before us. To go from just trying to survive, to learning how to thrive. From survival, to thrive-all. Success leaves footprints, and these steps to success are L.B.P''s for others to follow. I once read that wisdom is learning from others mistakes. Wisdom is also learning from others successes or L.B.P''s.

En abril de 1999, once representantes de las mayores empresas alimentarias de Estados Unidos se reunían a puerta cerrada para debatir acerca de la creciente epidemia de obesidad y cómo actuar frente a ella. Una pregunta flotaba en el aire: ¿Ellos eran de algún modo los responsables? A lo largo de los años, los fabricantes de la industria alimentaria se han disputado la primacía en el sector elevando, cada vez más, las cantidades de sal, azúcar y grasa en los alimentos que producen. Unos ingredientes cuyo uso deliberado han estudiado y controlado metódicamente, basándose en estudios científicos que demuestran que actúan sobre nuestro cerebro proporcionándonos un placer adictivo similar al que generan drogas como la cocaína. Michael Moss, prestigioso periodista de investigación, dedicó cuatro años de su vida a indagar en distintas compañías entrevistando a científicos y publicistas, entre otros, y visitando laboratorios y departamentos de marketing para descubrir las «tácticas ocultas» que tiene uno de los sectores, en mayor medida responsable de nuestra salud, para engancharnos a sus productos. Con todo ello, Moss ha escrito este libro en el que describe cómo la industria manipula los alimentos para que nos convirtamos en adictos a sus elaboraciones y que, tras leerlo, hará que te lo pienses dos veces antes de comprar según qué cosas.

Em 1999, os principais líderes da indústria alimentícia, da Coca-Cola à Nabisco, se encontraram para uma reunião secreta de emergência. A pauta: o que fazer diante da epidemia de obesidade das últimas décadas. Ao longo de quase um século, fabricantes de alimentos disputam o paladar do público misturando nas fórmulas de seus produtos quantidades cada vez maiores de sal, açúcar e gordura. Em outras palavras: tentam criar alimentos mais saborosos, custe o que custar. E o custo, no caso, é a saúde: um número cada vez maior de estudos científicos tem demonstrado a relação direta entre o alto consumo de alimentos processados e problemas de saúde como obesidade, hipertensão e diabetes. Neste importante livro-reportagem, o jornalista Michael Moss não só denuncia esse momento crítico da indústria alimentícia, como leva o leitor para dentro dos laboratórios, salas de reunião e departamentos de marketing a fim de mostrar como os alimentos que estão nas prateleiras do supermercado são cuidadosamente projetados para enganar o paladar e a inteligência do consumidor, seja com sabores artificiais, seja com anúncios de “baixo teor de sódio” (porém, com o dobro de gordura) ou “zero açúcar” (mas com excesso de sal e aditivos). Um livro para mudar definitivamente a maneira de enxergarmos os rótulos e os alimentos. “Michael Moss investigou a fundo as grandes empresas alimentícias e descobriu que a comida processada é desenvolvida para nos fazer comer mais. Na verdade, segundo Moss, ela é feita para viciar.” Michael Pollan “Se havia ainda alguma dúvida a respeito da responsabilidade da indústria alimentícia pela epidemia de obesidade atual, este livro vai fazê-la evaporar.” The Washington Post

This book is a critical analysis of the African American religious spiritual system from an African centered perspective. Critical analysis must begin from a frame of reference, or a context. This analysis will be centered and contextualized from an African worldview frame of reference. Only an African centered worldview, will allow African people to understand themselves and Europeans, without the effects of contamination and brainwashing, which results from the European mis-education process inflicted upon African people.

The purpose of this book is to enable the reader to answer the demand of success. To be focused. The number one reason that stops people from getting what they want in life is a lack of focus. The people who know, and focus on what they want, prosper. Reading this book will increase your self-awareness, people skills, and ability to deal with your environment.

Sommes-nous prêts à entendre la vérité sur le contenu de notre assiette ? L''Américain Michael Moss, prix Pulitzer 2010 et journaliste d''investigation au New York Times, nous livre une enquête explosive sur la nourriture industrielle et ses corrélations avec l''accroissement de l''obésité. Il dénonce sans détours les industries agroalimentaires qui saturent leurs produits de sel, de sucre et de matières grasses pour nous rendre dépendants dès le berceau. Il dévoile aussi tous les secrets - pourtant bien gardés - de ces géants, pour dominer sans pitié le secteur de l''alimentation. Accablant du début à la fin, ce livre pointe du doigt ces fabricants qui, sans vergogne, redoublent toujours plus d''ingéniosité et d''efforts, faisant appel à des techniques scientifiques de pointe, pour augmenter la consommation de leurs produits et donc de leurs profits. Grâce à des dossiers confidentiels, des notes de service et des témoignages de cadres travaillant dans les hautes sphères de ces grandes firmes, Michael Moss montre la fuite en avant de ces entreprises et le fait qu''aujourd''hui un Américain sur 3 - et un enfant sur 5 - est obèse. Alors que ces entreprises font la sourde oreille face aux graves problèmes sanitaires et sociaux qu''elles créent, rien ne semble pouvoir arrêter l''exportation de leurs produits et de leurs stratégies marketing dans d''autres pays comme la France, où le taux d''obésité atteint aussi des sommets.
