epub | 926 KB | English | Author :Suzy Cohen | Rodale
Book Description :
Unpleasant, uncomfortable, and unexplained side effects? Drug Muggers is your side effect solution.
Prescription and over-the-counter drugs help millions of people with devastat-ing diseases and chronic conditions. But in the process, these medications can also deplete the body's natural stores of vitamins, minerals, and hormones-the very nutrients you need to keep energy levels high, fend off infections, and be healthy. Pharmacist Suzy Cohen calls these medications "drug muggers," and she says it's essential to replenish what a drug mugger steals from your body in order to feel your best and avoid side effects. Not understanding the drug-mugging effect may lead to new "diseases" and possibly catastrophic health con-sequences.
You'll discover:
[*]How to relieve uncomfortable or potentially serious side effects
[*]How to remain compliant with your medication and still feel well
[*]Which foods and drinks to avoid if you take certain medications
[*]How to...

Fighting Blind - A Green Beret's Story of Extraordinary Courage
epub | 743.74 KB | English | Author :Ivan Castro | St. Martin's Press
Book Description :
Fighting was a practiced routine for Lieutenant Ivan Castro. But when a mortar round struck the rooftop of his sniper's post in Iraq, he found himself in a battle more difficult than even he could have imagined. The direct hit killed two other soldiers and nearly claimed Castro's life as well. Mangled by shrapnel and badly burned, Castro was medevac'd to Germany more dead than alive. His lungs were collapsed. He couldn't hear. One eye had been blown out, the nerve to the other severed.
In the weeks and months that followed, Castro would find that physical darkness was nothing compared to the emotional darkness of loss and despair. Desperate for a reason to live, he eventually fought his way back to health through exercise and a single-minded goal: running a marathon. Once he set his course, there was no stopping him. Stubborn to a point that at times bordered on insanity, he managed not only to recover but to return to active duty. Since 2007, he has run over two dozen...

Solar Sketching - A Comprehensive Guide to Drawing the Sun
epub | 14.84 MB | Author :Erika Rix, Kim Hay, Sally Russell and Richard Handy | Springer New York, New York, NY
Book Description :
From the authors of Sketching the Moon comes a comprehensive guide filled with richly illustrated, detailed drawing tutorials that cover a variety of solar phenomena. Explanations of what to expect visually from white light, Hydrogen-alpha and Calcium K filters are provided for those new to solar observing, along with essential tips on equipment, observing techniques and the practicalities of drawing at the eyepiece. Time-honored, traditional methods and media are described in tandem with innovative techniques developed and shared by contemporary astronomical sketchers. For the technically minded, detailed descriptions are given on how to use image manipulation software to bring your sketches to life through animation.
The Sun is the most visually dynamic object in our solar system and offers compelling, spectacular vie. Knotted magnetic field lines give rise to powerful eruptions and form the intricate sunspots and arching prominences that make our nearest star one of the most exciting, yet challenging, astronomical objects to sketch. Facilitated by the availability of affordable dedicated solar telescopes and filters, the Sun has become an increasingly popular target amongst astronomical sketchers. The use of narrowband solar filters provides a wonderful opportunity to capture vie of the Sun that have, until recently, been largely inaccessible.
You'll discover easy to follow, step-by-step instructions geared toward your specific interests, be it technical sketching and contributing to science, personal study, or even fun solar outreach activities that help children learn through art. By using Solar Sketching as a reference, drawing the Sun has never been easier.

The Innovation Blind Spot - Why We Back the Wrong Ideas―and What to Do About It
epub | 2.04 MB | English | Author :Ross Baird | BenBella Books, Inc.
Book Description :
Our innovation economy is broken. But there's good ne: The ideas that will solve our problems are hiding in plain sight.
While big companies in the American economy have never been more successful, entrepreneurial activity is near a 30-year low. More businesses are dying than starting every day. Investors continue to dump billions of dollars into photo-sharing apps and food delivery services, solving problems for a sliver of the world's population, while challenges in health, food security, and education grow more serious.
In The Innovation Blind Spot, venture capitalist Ross Baird argues that most great innovations don't see the light of day-for reasons entirely of our own making. A handful of people in a handful of cities are deciding, behind closed doors, which entrepreneurs get a shot to succeed. And most investors are what Baird calls "two-pocket thinkers"-artificially separating their charitable work from their day job of making a profit.

Under My Thumb - Songs That Hate Women and the Women Who Love Them
epub | 352.5 KB | English | Author :Rhian Jones | 2017 | Watkins Media
Book Description :
Discussions and analyses of music - whether on TV, in books or in the music press - have always been full of the stories of men. When female fans appear in these stories it is often through the eyes and from the perspectives of men - as muses, groupies or fangirls - meaning that women's own experiences, ideas and arguments about the music they love are marginalised or glossed over. Women in music are frequently fetishised and objectified both in song lyrics and in real life, viewed purely in relation to men and through their impact on the male ego. But this hasn't stopped generations of women from loving, being moved by and critically appreciating music - however that music may feel about them.
Under My Thumb: The Songs that Hate Women and the Women Who Love Them is a study of misogyny in music through the eyes of women. It will bring together stories from music writers and fans about artists or songs they love despite their questionable or...
