  Heavyweight - Black Boxers and...

  In Heavyweight, Jordana Moore Saggese examines images of Black heavyweight boxers to map the visual terrain of racist ideology in the United States, paying particular attention to the intersecting discourses of Blackness, masculinity, and sport. Looking closely at the "shadow archive" of portrayals across fine art, vernacular imagery, and public media at the turn of the twentieth century, she demonstrates how the images of boxers reveal the racist stereotypes implicit in them, many of which continue to structure ideas of Black men today. With a focus on both anonymous fighters and notorious champions, including Jack Johnson, Saggese contends that popular images of these men provided white spectators a way to render themselves experts on Blackness and Black masculinity. These images became the blueprint for white conceptions of the Black male body—existing between fear and fantasy, simultaneously an object of desire and an instrument of violence. Reframing boxing as yet another way whiteness establishes the violent mythology of its supremacy, Saggese highlights the role of imagery in normalizing a culture of anti-Blackness.

  Lightweight, compact, distinctively styled, and now, electric: The Brompton isn't the only folding bicycle—or even the first. But everyone who has been on one will enthusiastically testify to its marvelous design (virtually unchanged over decades) and the particular joy of riding it. 
   
   
   
  Will Butler-Adams, CEO of Brompton Bicycles, has been at the company for twenty years. Initially, he worked as an engineer for Andrew Ritchie, the bike's brilliant inventor and the business's founder, before taking the helm in 2008. Butler-Adams's heartfelt mission is to grow and promote sustainable urban transportation and to improve city-dwellers' lives everywhere. 
   
    
   
  Under his leadership, Brompton has grown from making a few hundred bikes a year to over 90,000, with revenue of $130 million. But progress hasn't always been easy: There have been boardroom struggles, supply-chain problems, and conflicts with founder Andrew Ritchie. In The Brompton, Butler-Adams brings to life what it means to grow a company to global scale. He also tells the stories of the people who make the Brompton and the people who ride it. And he explains how customers all around the world fell in love with a brand that never set out to be a brand.

  Fitness for Weight Loss -...

  Weight loss is a multifaceted process that involves much more than simply eating less and exercising more. It is a combination of lifestyle changes, understanding the science behind body composition, and making choices that are sustainable over time. Fitness plays a central role in this journey, not only for shedding pounds but also for improving overall health and wellness. In this chapter, we will explore the fundamentals of weight loss fitness, setting realistic goals, and how exercise fits into the equation. 
  At the core of weight loss is the concept of a calorie deficit, which means burning more calories than you consume. While nutrition plays a significant role in creating this deficit, exercise increases the number of calories your body burns. Exercise also helps preserve muscle mass while losing fat, which is crucial because muscle tissue burns more calories at rest than fat tissue. It’s essential to understand that weight loss is not just about “burning off” what you eat but about creating a balanced approach that incorporates both diet and fitness. 
  Exercise has an important role in supporting long-term weight loss. While nutrition accounts for a significant portion of weight management, fitness ensures that the weight loss process remains healthy and sustainable. Cardio exercises, such as running or cycling, help burn calories quickly and effectively, while strength training builds lean muscle, which boosts metabolism. Flexibility and mobility exercises reduce the risk of injury, improving overall physical capacity. A well-rounded fitness routine allows you to address different aspects of physical health, making it easier to maintain weight loss over time.
