Sinopse

"Amsterdam Tales" explores the remarkable ascent of Amsterdam from a modest settlement to a global powerhouse, focusing on its Dutch Golden Age. The book attributes this transformation to strategic location, innovative economic policies, and a culture of tolerance that attracted diverse populations. Amsterdam's intricate canal system, for instance, wasn't just for aesthetic appeal; it was a carefully engineered network that facilitated trade and transport, crucial for its economic success. The book emphasizes that Amsterdam's story offers valuable lessons on globalization and the power of liberal values.

 
The book progresses chronologically, starting with Amsterdam's origins and its role in the Hanseatic League. It then delves into the Dutch Revolt and the city's emergence as the capital of the Dutch Republic. A significant portion is dedicated to the Dutch East India Company (VOC) and its impact on Amsterdam's growth, highlighting how the city became a haven for intellectuals and artists. Through primary sources and contemporary analysis, "Amsterdam Tales" reveals the inner workings of Amsterdam's society and economy.

    Obesity is becoming one of the preeminent public health concerns, with prevalence increasing throughout the world.
    Covering many aspects of contemporary obesity research, this timely book by some of the leading experts in the field explores issues relating to the biology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of obesity, including childhood obesity. The work is attuned to the needs of those living with obesity, with a chapter devoted to
    the harm caused by weight stigma and false narratives around lifestyle choices.
    'Obesity, the other pandemic of the 21st century' reviews the available evidence to prove that obesity should be considered not just as a key contributor towards other comorbidities, but as a disease by itself. Importantly, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on obesity is addressed, which raised the complexity and severity of the obesity and should be a call to action for the prevention and early treatment of this disease. This book has been developed by World Obesity Federation collaborators, and is aimed at healthcare practitioners, academics, policymakers, students, patients living with obesity and all those impacted by the issue.
    The research covered in these pages goes some way towards proving that obesity is quickly becoming 'the other pandemic' of the 21st century. Much like any major pandemic, the consequence of inaction is truly alarming.

    Hearing from God is extraordinary. But the circumstances He uses to reveal Himself may be more ordinary than we think.Neighbors and Wise Menintroduces captivating dialogues and unexpected moments with God that go beyond the confines of a conventional religious system and offer the chance for powerful life transformation.Get to know Tony Kriz (known by many as "Tony the Beat Poet" in Donald Miller's best-selling book Blue Like Jazz) through his real-life conversations and experiences that prove that God can and will use anyone and anything— from Muslim lands to antireligious academics to post-Christian cultures—to make Himself known.Through his own prodigal-son backstory and return to faith, Tony presents biblical truth in a conversational, but bold light that offers readers the courage to open their eyes to the unlikely encounters that are all around us every day; chance run-ins that turn out to be anything but chance.Have we limited God's ability to speak in our world today? Have we relegated God's creative voice to the select persons who share our particular religious system? Kriz himself felt like he was falling out of faith until non-Christians encouraged him to "fall toward Christ."
