A rare peek behind the curtain into boots-on-the-ground, in-the-lab scientific bomb forensics—told with humanity, heart, and even a bit of humor. This is not CSI. What you encounter as a true bomb detective—or “Bomb Doctor,” as some in the FBI call me—are fields of twisted metal containing soot-covered fragments intermingled with human remains. You have carnage and chaos. As you wade into that sea of wailing sirens and screaming survivors awash with the stench of diesel fuel and decaying bodies, your job is to ferret out forensic clues in a type of macabre scavenger hunt to ultimately reconstruct the scene and the explosive device and determine what happened and what the bomb looked like before it was torn asunder. None of this happens overnight. Nor does it happen in a timeframe that can be neatly packaged in an hour-long made-for-TV drama. The scavenger hunt can take months—or, in the case of the infamous Collar Bomber, seven painstaking years. The work is worth every second and every horrific image that etches itself into your brain because it helps prevent new horrors. Not all, obviously. We are not superheroes. But unlike shooters, who often just “snap” or seem to act out in random ways, bombers almost always have a story—one that follows an arc. In The Bomb Doctor, my goal is to explain that arc, explode myths, reconstruct reality, and build an understanding of the reason and means behind the mayhem, as well as pull back the curtain on the investigative process that brings bombers to justice.

Dans la communauté sportive féminine, on parle très peu de la ménopause. Les femmes semblent simplement « vieillir ». Mais, selon Stacy Sims, avec quelques ajustements nutritionnels, les femmes peuvent s''entraîner et courir jusqu''à la soixantaine et au-delà. Elle aide les femmes à "biohacker" leur ménopause : il faut d''abord bien comprendre chacune de ses étapes pour adapter son entrainement et sa nutrition à sa physiologie unique et atteindre des performances sportives optimales. Le Dr Sims fournit aux femmes tous les conseils d''entraînement et de nutrition dont elles ont besoin pour construire une base solide pour rester sportive. Elle propose un plan d''attaque pour aider le corps pendant cette transition : - les suppléments nutritionnels - les exercices adaptés - les besoins en macronutriments pour maintenir la performance. Ce livre aborde également des sujets tels que l''endurance, la force, la souplesse, la composition corporelle, la récupération, la santé des articulations et des os, la fonction du plancher pelvien, les fluctuations hormonales et le sommeil, illustré d''une cinquantaine de photos d''exercices.

Un guide complet sur la nutrition et l''entraînement, spécialement conçu pour les femmes sportives. La plupart des produits de nutrition et des plans d''entraînement sont conçus pour les hommes, donc peu adaptés aux caractéristiques des femmes sportives. Ce livre contient : - des conseils nutritionnels personnalisés pour toutes les étapes de l''entraînement et de la récupération, quel que soit votre sport (course à pied, cyclisme, sports de plein air, triathlons), - des programmes nutritionnels et des exercices de renforcement réunis dans un plan complet : développez des muscles là où vous en avez le plus besoin, renforcez les os et augmentez votre puissance et l''endurance, - des chapitres consacrés à rester tonique et active pendant la grossesse et la ménopause.

Menopause doesn’t have to be the end of you kicking ass. The renowned author of Roar presents a comprehensive and customizable physiology-based guide to peak performance for active women approaching or experiencing menopause. For active women, menopause hits hard. Overnight, your body doesn’t feel like the one you know and love anymore—you’re battling new symptoms, might be gaining weight, losing endurance and strength, or taking longer to bounce back from workouts that used to be easy. The things that have always kept you fit and healthy just seem to stop working the way they used to. But menopause doesn’t have to be the end of you excelling at the gym, on the trail, or wherever you work out. Once you understand your physiology, you can work with it—not against it—to optimize your performance. In Next Level, renowned exercise and nutrition scientist Dr. Stacy Sims shares case studies from women she has coached through this transition and teaches you: • the underlying causes of menopause • how to minimize the hormonal fluctuations that cause bloating, fatigue, night sweats, and other common symptoms of perimenopause and menopause • when you should seek medical intervention for your menopausal symptoms—and how to confidently communicate with your doctor to ensure you’re getting the best care • different modalities, from hormone therapy and nonhormone supplements to pelvic floor therapy and strength training, to help maximize your fitness and performance • exercise routines and fueling strategies, including meal plans and macronutrient planning charts, that you can customize to best suit your unique needs during menopause • and much more! A comprehensive, science-backed framework for your menopause action plan, this is the ultimate guide for navigating the Next Level.

Women are not small men. Stop eating and training like one. Because most nutrition products and training plans are designed for men, it''s no wonder that so many female athletes struggle to reach their full potential. ROAR is a comprehensive, physiology-based nutrition and training guide specifically designed for active women. This book teaches you everything you need to know to adapt your nutrition, hydration, and training to your unique physiology so you can work with, rather than against, your female physiology. Exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist Stacy T. Sims, PhD, shows you how to be your own biohacker to achieve optimum athletic performance. Complete with goal-specific meal plans and nutrient-packed recipes to optimize body composition, ROAR contains personalized nutrition advice for all stages of training and recovery. Customizable meal plans and strengthening exercises come together in a comprehensive plan to build a rock-solid fitness foundation as you build lean muscle where you need it most, strengthen bone, and boost power and endurance. Because women''s physiology changes over time, entire chapters are devoted to staying strong and active through pregnancy and menopause. No matter what your sport is--running, cycling, field sports, triathlons--this book will empower you with the nutrition and fitness knowledge you need to be in the healthiest, fittest, strongest shape of your life.

It''s a fact: Women are built differently than men. That means that women''s bodies react differently to training, nutrition, and sometimes even riding itself. Yet most bicycling books are written without addressing any of these differences. This comprehensive cycling book addresses how to gear up and prepare for any goal--whether you want to ride for pleasure, complete your first 100 miles, or line up at a race. Top professional cyclist Selene Yeager has teamed up with the editors of Bicycling magazine to create The Bicycling Big Book of Cycling for Women, an easy-to-follow instructional manual geared specifically toward women and their unique needs. It breaks down the sport of cycling into easily digestible sections, beginning with the history of women''s cycling and progressing into equipment, lifestyle, technique, training, fitness goals, nutrition, maintenance, and more. The book also includes a women-specific section regarding hormones and exercise performance, cycling while menstruating, cycling while pregnant, how menopause affects your training, and how specific parts of the female body are uniquely affected by cycling. The Bicycling Big Book of Cycling for Women is an indispensible, lifelong guide for every female cyclist.

Rebecca Rusch is one of the great endurance athletes of our time. Known today as the Queen of Pain for her perseverance as a relentlessly fast runner, paddler, and mountain bike racer, Rusch was a normal kid from Chicago who abandoned a predictable life for one of adventure. In her new book Rusch to Glory: Adventure, Risk & Triumph on the Path Less Traveled, Rusch weaves her fascinating life''s story among the exotic locales and extreme conditions that forged an extraordinary athlete from ordinary roots. Rusch has run the gauntlet of endurance sports over her career as a professional athlete-- climbing, adventure racing, whitewater rafting, cross-country skiing, and mountain biking--racking up world championships along the way. But while she might seem like just another superhuman playing out a fistful of aces, her empowering story proves that anyone can rise above self-doubt and find their true potential. First turning heads with her rock climbing and paddling skills, Rusch soon found herself spearheading adventure racing teams like Mark Burnett''s Eco-Challenge series. As she fought her way through the jungles of Borneo, raced camels across Morocco, threaded the rugged Tian Shan mountains, and river-boarded the Grand Canyon in the dead of winter, she was forced to stare down her own demons. Through it all, Rusch continually redefined her limits, pushing deep into the pain cave and emerging ready for the next great challenge. At age 38, Rusch faced a tough decision: retire or reinvent herself yet again. Determined to go for broke, she shifted her focus to endurance mountain bike racing and rode straight into the record books at a moment when most athletes walk away. Rusch to Glory is more than an epic story of adventure; it is a testament to the rewards of hard work, determination, and resilience on the long road to personal and professional triumph.

Escape Your Desk Sentence! Dr. James Levine, one of the country’s top specialists in obesity, says America suffers from “sitting disease.” We spend nearly ten to fifteen hours of our day sitting–in cars, at our desks, and in front of the television. The age of electronics and the Internet has robbed us of the chance to burn up to 1,500 to 2,000 calories per day, leaving Americans less active (and much heavier) than we were thirty years ago. We are facing a human energy crisis. What you need, according to this doctor’s orders, is to get moving, or nonexercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT). NEAT is as simple as standing, turning, and bending. Research proves that daily NEAT activity burns more calories than a half hour running on the treadmill. Just by the very act of standing and moving, you can boost your metabolism, lower your blood pressure, and increase your mental clarity. It’s about using your body as it was meant to be used. Move a Little, Lose a Lot gives you literal step-by-step instructions for small changes that equal radical results: • Give at the office–burn 2,100 calories a week just by changing your daily work routine. • Hey, Einstein–just like the scientist who thought up his most famous theory while riding his bike, you can increase production of new brain neurons in as little as three hours. • Tired of being tired–reduce fatigue by 65 percent with low-intensity NEAT workouts. • Don’t forget–an Italian study showed active men and women were 30 percent less likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease.

Newly researched, every entry provides current information and the latest clinical studies from real doctors and nutritionists working in some of the best medical institutions in the United States.
