Swallow This: Serving Up the Food Industry’s Darkest Secrets
Swallow This: Serving Up the Food Industry’s Darkest Secrets
Joanna Blythman
¥66.22
From the author of What to Eat and Shopped, a revelatory investigation into what really goes into the food we eat. Even with 25 years experience as a journalist and investigator of the food chain, Joanna Blythman still felt she had unanswered questions about the food we consume every day. How ‘natural’ is the process for making a ‘natural’ flavouring? What, exactly, is modified starch, and why is it an ingredient in so many foods? What is done to pitta bread to make it stay ‘fresh’ for six months? And why, when you eat a supermarket salad, does the taste linger in your mouth for several hours after? Swallow This is a fascinating exploration of the food processing industry and its products – not just the more obvious ready meals, chicken nuggets and tinned soups, but the less overtly industrial – washed salads, smoothies, yoghurts, cereal bars, bread, fruit juice, prepared vegetables. Forget illegal, horse-meat-scandal processes, every step in the production of these is legal, but practised by a strange and inaccessible industry, with methods a world-away from our idea of domestic food preparation, and obscured by technical speak, unintelligible ingredients manuals, and clever labelling practices. Determined to get to the bottom of the impact the industry has on our food, Joanna Blythman has gained unprecedented access to factories, suppliers and industry insiders, to give an utterly eye-opening account of what we’re really swallowing.

ADHD Does not Exist
ADHD Does not Exist
Saul, Richard
¥88.56
A radical new response to a widely misunderstood conditionWe are witnessing a global epidemic of attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder. Millions are suffering from attention issues, while millions more are reliant on stimulant medication to perform at school and at work. Despite decades of advancements in neuroscience, the definition of ADHD has remained essentially unchanged since its introduction in 1980, and its prevalence in the population has skyrocketed.In this controversial and landmark work, Dr. Richard Saul draws from five decades as a practicing physician and researcher in the field to contend that the definition of ADHD as we know it is completely wrong. Instead, he argues that the "disorder" is a cluster of symptoms stemming from more than twenty other conditions, each requiring separate treatment. The detailed list ranges from mild problems like poor eyesight, sleep deprivation, and even boredom in the classroom, to more severe conditions like depression and bipolar disorder.Through the lens of history and into the present day, Dr. Saul examines "ADHD," exploring the rising cultural and medical trends that have birthed the stimulant epidemic. Both comprehensive and illuminative, ADHD Does Not Exist is essential reading for doctors, practitioners, educators, and individuals who are seeking an honest approach to understanding and treating this complex condition.

While Shirley longs for freedom and romance, Laura has to learn that loving can never be a one-sided affair, and the burden of her love for her sister has a dramatic effect on both their lives. A story of consequences when love turns to obsession… Famous for her ingenious crime books and plays, Agatha Christie also wrote about crimes of the heart, six bittersweet and very personal novels, as compelling and memorable as the best of her work.

《卡拉马佐夫兄弟》是俄国作家陀思妥耶夫斯基的*之作,也是世界文学*伟大的长篇小说之一。 小说由一桩真实的弑父案改编,围绕老卡拉马佐夫与他的三个儿子——德米特里、伊万、阿辽沙,以及私生子斯乜尔加科夫之间的激烈冲突展开。 老卡拉马佐夫荒淫贪婪,占有了妻子留给孩子们的遗产,又与长子德米特里为争夺风流女子格露莘卡而反目成仇。某夜,德米特里在狂怒中闯入父亲家中,将其击伤后仓皇逃离。而真正的凶手——躲在暗处的私生子斯乜尔加科夫,在"一切皆允许"的思想驱使下,残忍地杀害了老卡拉马佐夫。由此引发了一桩扑朔迷离的血案与一场震撼人心的法庭审判。 小说表面是一桩弑父案,深层则是一场关于信仰、理性、自由意志与道德的灵魂角力。三兄弟分别代表了人性的不同维度:德米特里是情欲与冲动的化身,伊万是理性与质疑的代言人,阿辽沙则是信仰与仁爱的象征。弗洛伊德曾盛赞此书为"*伟大的小说"。

Entre quienes escribimos estas letras, hay estudiantes, prestadores de servicio social, graduados, voluntarios, músicos, misioneros, y empleados que tienen la fortuna de poder experimentar la vida de maneras muy distintas los unos de los otros.Algunos pertenecen al área de las ciencias exactas, otros a las ciencias sociales, y hasta de las ciencias de la salud. Además, somos de escuelas públicas, de escuelas privadas, y hasta de escuela en casa; y todavía más, vivimos en diferentes ciudades de México. En esta peque?a obra, podrás encontrar una increíble variedad de perspectivas y experiencias de vida que están siendo transformadas por una misma persona: Jesús, el crucificado. Además, este libro está compuesto por una colección interesante de tipos de textos... poemas, reflexiones, oraciones, canciones, y otros más. Con mucha emoción, cada uno de nosotros y nosotras quisiéramos invitarte, no sólo a encontrarte con el Maestro en las hojas de esta antología, sino a escribir tú mismo… a escribirle letras al crucificado. Soli Deo Gloria.
Psychology and Crime: Is There a Criminal Type?
Psychology and Crime: Is There a Criminal Type?
Thomas Holmes
¥33.11
Sincerely do I hope that the issue of this little book may prove useful in drawing the attention of the public to the mental and physical condition of the unfortunates who form such a large proportion of our prison population.??To our authorities the sad plight of this mass of smitten humanity is well known. Year after year our Prison Commissioners, in presenting their reports, have not failed to impress upon the State the great part physical and mental afflictions play in the production of crime.??So far, the information given by the Prison Commissioners has produced little or no effect; neither have their representations led to any alteration in the treatment of unfortunate individuals whose infirmities are in reality the root cause of their delinquency.??To the official information I add the result of my own prolonged experience. This experience has imbued me with the conviction that the present methods of dealing with suffering humanity are neither wise, just, nor efficacious. I have seen the helplessness of so many that are called criminals that, in writing these pages, I am animated with a keen desire to hasten the day of sensible reform. Surely the day cannot be far distant when the State will take mental and physical infirmities into consideration when it has to deal with its erring children.??Thomas Holmes.?Howard Association,? Devonshire Chambers, Bishopsgate.? ?IS THERE A CRIMINAL TYPE? ??After years of close observation, during which I have formed many friendships with criminals, I can only answer this question in the words that I have answered it before, and say that, physically, I have not found any evidence to show that a criminal type exists. In saying this I know that I shall run counter to the teaching of a good many people, and probably run counter to public opinion. For the criminal class and the criminal type have been written about so largely, and talked about so frequently, that the majority of people have come to the conclusion that our criminals come from a particular order of society, and that the poorest; or that there exists a type of people whose physical appearance gives outward and visible signs that proclaim the inward criminal mind.??I believe both these ideas to be entirely wrong. I was confirmed in my opinion last year when I visited many of the largest prisons in the United States; for I found there, as I have found in England, a complete absence among the prisoners of those physical and facial peculiarities that we are taught to believe differentiate criminals from ordinary citizens.??Speaking on this subject to the American Congress at Washington on October 4, 1910, Sir Evelyn Ruggles-Brise, K.C.B., the esteemed chairman of our Prison Commissioners, made the following statement—??“There is no criminal type. Nothing in the past has so retarded progress as the conviction, deeply rooted and widespread, that the criminal is a class by himself, different from all others, with a tendency to crime, of which certain peculiarities of body are the outward and visible signs.??“This superstition, for such I think it must be called, was, you know, strengthened and encouraged by the findings of the Italian school.
