  Does the mind-body entanglement puzzle follow the scientific laws of our time? This book brings forth a revolutionary concept of a subtle crude entity to explain the expression of mind in the biological system. 
  It describes how this entity may link propensities, polarities, and the process of viral invasion to our ever-emerging thought process. The subtle liaison between protozoic, metazoic and unit mind, through a unified command, is proposed to control the biochemical events at the molecular level. The book advances an intuitive rationalization mode of mind to sustain the sentient values against the stationary platform, through reversible order. The role of self-created intuitive reasoning would, silently, propel the reader from chaos in to a sublime, higher order living.

  Eating While Black - Food...

  Psyche A. Williams-Forson is one of our leading thinkers about food in America. In Eating While Black, she offers her knowledge and experience to illuminate how anti-Black racism operates in the practice and culture of eating. She shows how mass media, nutrition science, economics, and public policy drive entrenched opinions among both Black and non-Black Americans about what is healthful and right to eat. Distorted views of how and what Black people eat are pervasive, bolstering the belief that they must be corrected and regulated. What is at stake is nothing less than whether Americans can learn to embrace nonracist understandings and practices in relation to food. 
   
   
   
  Sustainable culture—what keeps a community alive and thriving—is essential to Black peoples' fight for access and equity, and food is central to this fight. Starkly exposing the rampant shaming and policing around how Black people eat, Williams-Forson contemplates food's role in cultural transmission, belonging, homemaking, and survival. Black people's relationships to food have historically been connected to extreme forms of control and scarcity—as well as to stunning creativity and ingenuity. In advancing dialogue about eating and race, this book urges us to think and talk about food in new ways in order to improve American society on personal and structural levels.

  From an award-winning journalist comes a vivid and moving portrait of eight  
  trans and nonbinary teenagers across the country, following their daily  
  triumphs, struggles, and all that encompasses growing up trans in America  
  today. 
  Media coverage tends to sensationalize the fight over how trans kids should be  
  allowed to live, but what is incredibly rare are the voices of the people at the  
  heart of this debate: transgender and gender nonconforming kids themselves. For  
  their groundbreaking new book, journalist Nico Lang spent a year traveling the  
  country to document the lives of transgender, nonbinary, and genderfluid teens  
  and their families.  
  From the tip of Florida’s conservative panhandle to vibrant queer communities in  
  California, and from Texas churches to mosques in Illinois, American Teenager 
  gives readers a window into the lives of Wyatt, Rhydian, Mykah, Clint, Ruby,  
  Augie, Jack, and Kylie, eight teens who, despite what some lawmakers might want  
  us to believe, are truly just kids looking for a brighter future. Drawing on hundreds  
  of hours of on-the-ground interviews with them and the people in their  
  communities, American Teenager paints a vivid portrait of what it’s actually like to  
  grow up trans today. 
  “With humor and compassion, Lang shows trans teenagers as they really are: kids  
  trying their best, day by day, to grow into their truest selves and fullest  
  potential.”—Maia Kobabe, author of Gender Queer: A Memoir

  The third edition of Food Politics has been updated to reflect the latest developments and research on today's global food landscape, including the realities of food markets, farm production methods, food manufacturing, and dietary health challenges. New material covers the rise of China in world food markets and global food politics, the unabated and increasing risks to farming from climate change, the impact COVID-19 had on incomes and hunger, the equally shocking impact from the war in Ukraine on food prices and trade, and surprising scientific and technical breakthroughs such as the genome editing of crops (CRISPR) and the marketing of cell-cultured (animal-free) meats. Each chapter has been updated with new data on population growth, hunger and food security, trade conflicts, humanitarian aid, carbon farming, regenerative agriculture, holistic grazing, animal welfare, genetically engineered food, and more. 
   
   
   
  Discussing the politics and policies that continue to shape our contemporary food system, Robert Paarlberg challenges myths and critiques more than a few of today's fashionable beliefs about farming and food. A must-listen for those ready to have their thinking about food politics informed, but also challenged.
