  The War on Alcohol - Prohibition...

  Prohibition has long been portrayed as a "noble experiment" that failed, a newsreel story of glamorous gangsters, flappers, and speakeasies. Now at last Lisa McGirr dismantles this cherished myth to reveal a much more significant history. Prohibition was the seedbed for a pivotal expansion of the federal government, the genesis of our contemporary penal state. Her deeply researched, eye-opening account uncovers patterns of enforcement still familiar today: the war on alcohol was waged disproportionately in African American, immigrant, and poor white communities. Alongside Jim Crow and other discriminatory laws, Prohibition brought coercion into everyday life and even into private homes.This outstanding history also reveals a new genome for the activist American state, one that shows the DNA of the right as well as the left. It was Herbert Hoover who built the extensive penal apparatus used by the federal government to combat the crime spawned by Prohibition. The subsequent federal wars on crime, on drugs, and on terror all display the inheritances of the war on alcohol. McGirr shows the powerful American state to be a bipartisan creation, a legacy not only of the New Deal and the Great Society but also of Prohibition and its progeny.

  “A feat of culinary legerdemain . . . Recipes for gluten-free fluffy cakes, chewy cookies, and crumbly bars—without a speck of gluten-free flour mix.” —The Kitchn   This collection of dessert recipes is so delicious no one will know they are gluten-free! With seventy-five recipes for naturally gluten-free desserts, author Nicole Spiridakis uses a wide range of non-wheat flours to finesse the balance between decadent and dietary. These tasty recipes bypass complicated alternate flour mixes and hard-to-find “gums,” fulfilling the increasing demand from those embracing a gluten-free diet (whether by necessity or choice). With creamy puddings infused with warm spices, cloudlike meringue cookies, dark chocolate brownies, and fruit crisps and crumbles, Flourless. turns dietary restrictions into something scrumptious.  “This book sets itself apart in the category by providing recipes that don’t require specialty flours, gums, or starches. A flawless angel food cake uses cornstarch; intense chocolate cookies rely on egg whites.” —Cooking Light   “These are lovely dessert ideas. They do happen to be flour-free but you won’t notice. Or mind. Not one bit.” —Cooking by the Book

  Who wants to waste time on a diet that is impossible to follow permanently? 
  Who wants to follow recipes from authors who don't know the first thing about fat loss? 
  The answer? NOBODY! 
  This is the MAIN reason diets and nutrition plans are failing you. 
  This is the reason why you end up putting the weight you lost back on and it's the reason you continue to "Yo-Yo" diet while feeling frustrated and helpless.

  - Adhere to strict, intense exercise programs that cause you to lose weight quickly, and uncomfortably. 
  - Overhaul your entire lifestyle, from work to leisure, making it really inconvenient for you to lose weight. 
  This book is composed of only the simplest and most effective habits that you can seamlessly integrate into your life so that you can lose weight and keep it off for good this time.
