Beschreibung

"Chemicals in Our Food: What's Really on Your Plate?" by Kevin B DiBacco is a comprehensive guide to understanding the chemical composition of our food and its impact on our health and the environment. The book begins by introducing readers to the basics of food chemistry, explaining how even natural foods are made up of chemical compounds.
DiBacco explores various aspects of food chemistry, including:
1. Food additives and preservatives, discussing their purposes and potential health effects.
2. Pesticides and herbicides used in agriculture, and their presence in our food supply.
3. Allergens and food sensitivities, explaining how certain chemicals in food can trigger adverse reactions.
4. Environmental contaminants that find their way into our food chain.
5. The impact of food packaging on food safety and quality.
6. The debate surrounding organic food and its purported benefits.
7. Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) and their role in modern agriculture.
8. How different cooking methods affect the chemical composition of food.
The book also covers important consumer information, such as how to read and understand food labels, and provides an overview of the regulatory framework governing food chemicals. It addresses emerging concerns in the food industry and looks at the future of food production and consumption.
Throughout the book, DiBacco uses a conversational tone to make complex scientific concepts accessible to the average reader. He includes real-world examples, case studies, and practical tips to help readers apply this knowledge in their daily lives.
The author's goal is not to alarm readers but to educate them, enabling them to make informed choices about their food. By demystifying the science behind what we eat, "Chemicals in Our Food" empowers consumers to navigate the modern food landscape with greater confidence and understanding.

    The Cycling City - Bicycles and...

    Cycling has experienced a renaissance in the United States, as cities around the country promote the bicycle as an alternative means of transportation. In the process, debates about the nature of bicycles—where they belong, how they should be ridden, how cities should or should not accommodate them—have played out in the media, on city streets, and in city halls. Very few people recognize, however, that these questions are more than a century old. 
     
    The Cycling City is a sharp history of the bicycle’s rise and fall in the late nineteenth century. In the 1890s, American cities were home to more cyclists, more cycling infrastructure, more bicycle friendly legislation, and a richer cycling culture than anywhere else in the world. Evan Friss unearths the hidden history of the cycling city, demonstrating that diverse groups of cyclists managed to remap cities with new roads, paths, and laws, challenge social conventions, and even dream up a new urban ideal inspired by the bicycle. When cities were chaotic and filthy, bicycle advocates imagined an improved landscape in which pollution was negligible, transportation was silent and rapid, leisure spaces were democratic, and the divisions between city and country were blurred. Friss argues that when the utopian vision of a cycling city faded by the turn of the century, its death paved the way for today’s car-centric cities—and ended the prospect of a true American cycling city ever being built.

    Meteors, also known as shooting stars, are remnants of comets or asteroids that orbit the Sun. When these objects cross Earth's path, they enter the atmosphere at high speeds, often exceeding 25,000 miles per hour (40,000 kilometers per hour). As they travel through the atmosphere, the air resistance causes them to heat up and vaporize, creating the bright streaks of light we observe. 
      
    Most meteors are small, ranging in size from a grain of sand to a pebble, and they typically burn up completely before reaching the ground. However, larger meteors can produce spectacular fireballs and may even survive the journey to become meteorites if they land on Earth's surface. 
      
    Meteor showers occur when Earth passes through debris trails left behind by comets, resulting in an increased number of meteors visible in the night sky. Studying meteors provides valuable insights into the composition of our solar system and its history.

    A military historian analyzes the ingenious WWII tanks known as Hobart’s Funnies, detailing their development and their role in the D-Day campaign. When the British and Canadians landed in Normandy on June 6, 1944, they were accompanied by specialized armored vehicles designed to remove German obstacles and mines. Developed by the Royal Engineers, these tanks known as Hobart's Funnies featured a range of ingenious innovations, from carpet-laying and bridge-laying devices to a giant 290-millimeter mortar.   Examining these vehicles from technical development to combat deployment, military historian Richard C. Anderson Jr. gives a minute-by-minute account of D-Day's early hours on Sword, Juno, and Gold Beaches—the critical moments when success hinged on the assault engineers’ ability to  clear a path or breach the seawall.   Anderson also describes the events on Omaha and Utah Beaches, where U.S. troops, despite being offered these vehicles, stormed ashore without them. Through careful comparison of conditions and outcomes, Anderson assesses the vehicles’ performance and impact on D-Day's successes and failures.

    A top neurosurgeon and acclaimed author's unique and highly listenable study of the paradox of pain, with fascinating anecdotes on childbirth, migraines, cancer, and more. 
     
     
     
    Medical science has made brilliant discoveries over the last century but as any cancer patient can attest, it has yet to conquer, or even fully comprehend, pain. Beginning with his own battle against severe migraines, and citing numerous case studies of his patients, in Why We Hurt Dr. Frank Vertosick explains how pain evolved, and by highlighting the critical functions it serves, he helps us to understand its value. Well written, expertly researched, and movingly told, each chapter offers an amalgam of medicine, history, anthropology, drama, inspiration, and practical advice on a myriad of pain syndromes, from back pain to angina, arthritis to carpal tunnel syndrome. A skilled writer and compassionate physician, Vertosick believes knowledge is often the first, and best, analgesic, and in Why We Hurt, "he offers fascinating insight into the greatest mystery of all: what it means to be human" (the Seattle Times).
