Summary

Salt Awareness sheds light on the often-overlooked connection between sodium intake and cardiovascular health. Did you know that excessive salt consumption is a major contributor to high blood pressure, a leading risk factor for heart disease and stroke? This book dives into how our bodies, which evolved to conserve sodium, now struggle with the overabundance of it in processed foods. It emphasizes that even small, sustainable changes in your diet can make a significant difference in your long-term health.

 
The book explores the impact of sodium on hypertension, explaining how excess salt elevates blood pressure and affects the heart. It also uncovers the hidden sources of sodium in everyday foods, from restaurant meals to seemingly healthy options. Salt Awareness then guides you on reducing sodium intake by teaching you how to read food labels, prepare low-sodium meals, and advocate for healthier food choices.

 
What sets Salt Awareness apart is its focus on empowering you to take control of your health through informed dietary decisions and lifestyle adjustments. Rather than promoting drastic measures, it provides practical, actionable strategies suitable for daily life. The book progresses from explaining the physiological role of sodium to providing a practical guide for sodium reduction, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of how to protect your heart health.

The Chocolate-Plant (Theobroma...

Walter Baker and Company

First published in the late nineteenth century, The Chocolate-Plant (Theobroma cacao) and Its Products is a thorough and fascinating examination of one of the world’s most important—and beloved—plants. 
Beginning with cacao’s origins in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica and its rapid spread through Europe, this work traces chocolate’s journey from indigenous drink to global commodity. It explores the botany of the cacao tree in careful detail, explaining its growth, flowering, pod-bearing habits, and the conditions required for successful cultivation. The book then follows cacao from harvest through fermentation, drying, roasting, and grinding, offering a clear account of how raw beans are transformed into chocolate and cocoa. 
Blending science with industry, the text examines the chemical composition of cacao—including cocoa butter, starches, proteins, minerals, and theobromine—while addressing purity, quality, and digestibility. It argues for chocolate’s value not merely as a luxury, but as a genuine and nourishing food. The closing chapters turn practical, presenting period-authentic culinary guidance and recipes for preparing chocolate and cocoa for drinks, desserts, and confections. 
Narrated by Jerry Dugan, this audiobook preserves a rare Victorian-era perspective on food science, industrial craftsmanship, and culinary tradition, making it an essential listen for anyone interested in food history, agricultural science, or the origins of modern chocolate.

Who's a Good Dog? - And How to...

Jessica Peirce

Who's a Good Dog? is an invitation to nurture more thoughtful and balanced relationships with our canine companions. By deepening our curiosity about what our dogs are experiencing, and by working together with them, we can become more effective and compassionate caregivers. 
 
 
  
With sympathy for the challenges met by both dogs and their humans, bioethicist Jessica Pierce explores common practices of caring for dogs, including how we provide exercise, what we feed, how and why we socialize and train, and how we employ tools such as collars and leashes. She helps us both to identify potential sources of fear and anxiety in our dogs' lives and to expand practices that provide physical and emotional nourishment. Who's a Good Dog? also encourages us to think more critically about what we expect of our dogs and how these expectations can set everyone up for success or failure. Pierce offers resources to help us cultivate attentiveness and kindness, inspiring us to practice the art of noticing, of astonishment, of looking with fresh eyes at these beings we think we know so well. And more than this, she makes her findings relatable by examining facets of her relationship with Bella, the dog in her life. As Bella shows throughout, all dogs are good dogs, and we, as humans and dog guardians, could be doing a little bit better to get along with them.

Design Dissected - Is the design...

David Galloway

Many people assert that all of reality, including life, has simply emerged as a result of natural law and circumstance. How credible is that assumption? How well does it fit with what we find? Exquisite features of apparent design are in evidence everywhere we look. Either something is responsible for all the molecular engineering of life or, it just happened and nothing is directly responsible. Which option offers the best explanation?
This book provides a clinician’s perspective on the evidence for design in living things. Specific scenarios are dissected from examples of real cases in clinical medicine and surgery, as well as descriptions of some of the amazing integrated systems that exist in human physiology. Read about the critical processes that must be successfully navigated at the time of birth for every individual to have any prospect of survival. Beyond that, think about thinking itself. This book is a powerful challenge to the belief that the universe, life, and conscious experience can result only from unguided, natural processes.
“Excellent ... a most enjoyable mix of personal anecdote and scientific precision.” Prof John C Lennox
“Fresh and original. Beautifully written and extensively researched. Highly recommended.” Dr Stephen C. Meyer
“Impressive and thought provoking” Prof Frank Dunn
