  About The Obesity Code by Dr. Jason Fung 
  In his best-selling book, The Obesity Code, Dr. Jason Fung sets out an original and well-supported theory of obesity that provides brand-new insights into proper nutrition and how weight loss is a function of hormones, not of exercise or calories in and out. Dr. Fung focuses primarily on insulin, a powerful hormone that regulates our metabolism. When insulin levels are high for too long, we develop "insulin resistance." This makes us fat. 
  Dr. Fung explores the latest scientific research into nutrition and obesity in a straightforward and accessible way and, more importantly, gives his readers step-by-step advice on how to lose weight and reboot their health. 
  Please note that this summary is NOT the original book and is meant to be read as a supplement to the original.

  For the captains of industry—men like Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan, and Henry Ford—the Gilded Age is a time of big money.  Technology boomed with the invention of trains, telephones, electric lights, harvesters, vacuum cleaners, and more. But for millions of immigrant workers, it is a time of big struggles, with adults and children alike working 12 to 14 hour a day under extreme, dangerous conditions.  The disparity between the rich and the poor was dismaying, which prompted some of the people to action.  In An Age of Extremes, you will meet Mother Jones, Ida Tarbell, Big Bill Haywood, Sam Gompers, and other movers and shakers, and get swept up in the enthusiasm of Teddy Roosevelt.  You’ll also watch the United States tae its greatest role on the world stage since the Revolution, as it enters the bloody battlefields of Europe in World War I.

  The study of bees has often been considered a divine occupation, as the creature’s attention to detail and purpose is so special and the honey they produce, almost magical. In this compelling cultural history that moves beautifully through the beekeeper’s year, Swedish beekeeper and writer Lotte Möller shares her understanding of bees and bee lore from antiquity to the present with deep knowledge and sharp wit. Möller gives insight into the activity in the hive and describes the bees’ natural order and habits. She explores the myths of the past and how and when they were replaced by fact. In stories from her travels, Möller encounters a host of colorful characters, from a trigger-happy California beekeeper raging against both killer bees and bee politics to the legendary Brother Adam of Buckfast Abbey, breeder of the Buckfast queen, now popular throughout Europe and beyond, as well a host of others as passionate as she about the complex world of apiculture both past and present.
