Your fantasy diet-chocolate, bread, and caffeine-is here!
For those accustomed to thinking of diets as deprivation, former gymnast and doctor Melissa Hershberg has developed a food plan that breaks all the cardinal rules of dieting.

If you're a restaurant-hopper, a dessert lover, or someone who eats on the go, she tells you how to lose weight while making food work for you. A program tailored for real people living in the real world, The Rebel Diet reveals how to lose weight, improve your nutrition, energy and health-without following the standard diet rubric.

* Shows you to stay fit and trim without logging in long hours at a gym
* Dr. Hershberg is the author of The Hershberg Diet

Beyond Nature-Nurture: Essays in Honor of Elizabeth Bates

Beyond Nature-Nurture: Essays in Honor of Elizabeth Bates
Michael Tomasello,Dan Isaac Slobin | 1900-01-01 00:00:00 | Psychology Press | 392 | Mental Health
Beyond Nature-Nurture: Essays in Honor of Elizabeth Bates is a very special tribute to the University of California at San Diego psycholinguist, developmental psychologist, and cognitive scientist Elizabeth Ann Bates, who died on December 14, 2003 from pancreatic cancer. Liz was a force of nature; she was also a nurturing force, as is evidenced by this collaborative collection of chapters written by many of her closest colleagues and former students. The book covers a brilliant career of wide-ranging interdisciplinary interests, such as the brain bases of language in children and adults; language and cognitive development in normal and neurologically impaired populations of children; real-time language processing in monolinguals and bilinguals; and crosslinguistic comparisons of language development, language use, and language loss. In this volume the contributors provide up-to-date reviews of these and other areas of research in an attempt to continue in the directions in which she has pointed us.

The genius of Bates is founded on a deep dedication to science, supported by an enduring sense of humor. The volume is introduced by the editors' collection of "Bates's aphorisms," the wisdom of which guide much of the field today: "[T]he human capacity for language could be both innate and species-specific, and yet involve no mechanisms that evolved specifically and uniquely for language itself. Language could be viewed as a new machine constructed entirely out of old parts." (Bates & MacWhinney, 1989) The volume also contains a list of her many important publications, as well as some personal reflections of some of the contributors, noting ways in which she made a difference in their lives.

Beyond Nature-Nurture: Essays in Honor of Elizabeth Bates appeals to international scholars in the fields of developmental psycholinguistics, cognitive science, crosslinguistic research, and both child and adult language disorders. It is a state-of-the-art overview of many areas of cognitive science, and can be used in a graduate-level classroom in courses designed as seminars in any of these topics.

Intersections de deux quadriques et pinceaux de courbes de genre 1: Intersections of two quadrics and pencils of curves of genus 1 (Lecture Notes in Mathematics) (French Edition)

Intersections de deux quadriques et pinceaux de courbes de genre 1: Intersections of two quadrics and pencils of curves of genus 1 (Lecture Notes in Mathematics) (French Edition)
Olivier Wittenberg | 2007-03-22 00:00:00 | Springer | 222 | French

Cet ouvrage est consacré à l'arithmétique des surfaces fibrées en courbes de genre 1 au-dessus de la droite projective, et à l'arithmétique des intersections de deux quadriques dans l'espace projectif. Swinnerton-Dyer introduisit en 1993 une technique permettant d'étudier les points rationnels des pinceaux de courbes de genre 1. La première moitié de l'ouvrage reprend et développe cette technique ainsi que ses généralisations ultérieures. La seconde moitié, qui repose sur la première, porte sur les surfaces de del Pezzo de degré 4 et sur les intersections de deux quadriques de dimension supérieure; les résultats annoncés dans [C. R. Math. Acad. Sci. Paris 342 (2006), no. 4, 223--227] y sont démontrés.

Community, Conflict and the State: A Manifesto for Community Well-Being

Community, Conflict and the State: A Manifesto for Community Well-Being
Charlie Cooper | 2008-10-15 00:00:00 | Palgrave Macmillan | 224 | Social Policy

Cooper analyzes how notions of "community," "conflict," "dangerousness" and "safety" have been used and understood in British social policy. By offering a conceptually grounded treatment of these themes, the book seeks to encourage the reader to reflect on the practical policy-oriented application of these ideas under New Labour, particularly in relation to "community safety." The final chapter concludes by revisiting theses four core notions, and in doing so, seeks to expose the myths and contradictions that commonly accompany broad-range concepts of this nature.

Last Landscapes: The Architecture of the Cemetery in the West

Last Landscapes: The Architecture of the Cemetery in the West
Ken Worpole | 2003-06-15 00:00:00 | Reaktion Books | 192 | Photo Essays

Last Landscapes explores death and the landscape of the cemetery. The picturesque village churchyard; the tightly packed "historic cities of the dead" such as the Jewish Cemetery in Prague; the war cemeteries of Northern France; the modernism of the Stockholm Woodland Cemetery; the graveyards of North America -- in discussing the history and culture of these architectural expressions of memory and loss, Ken Worpole also -locates the national, religious and romantic attitudes they express. This evocative book, which also examines the contemporary memorialization of artists such as Rachel Whiteread and Ian Hamilton Finlay, contains more than 100 color pictures.

Reviews
For landscape architects, historians and planners, this book is an excellent study of burials and memorials in Western cultures. It helped me see U.S. cemeteries and their art in a greater context. Much of the book discusses how burial/memorial places relate to daily life, and speculates how such places will change along with changes in Western society.
