  Ever wondered how “factory farms” came to be, why chicken nuggets were invented, or where the idea of feeding hormones and antibiotics to livestock came from in the first place? 
  The Price of Plenty offers answers that may surprise you, in a compulsively readable and distinctly American tale of abundance, invention, and exceptionalism. 
  Historian Maureen Ogle unfolds the good, the bad, and the ugly behind the nation’s meat-making infrastructure, from colonial cattle wars to the rise of Swift, Armour, and Tyson to today’s alt-cuisine. Tracing consumer desires, profit motives, and policy imperatives, this absorbing narrative shows how an insatiable appetite for meat carved America’s landscape and identity. 
  When white Europeans arrived in North America, the abundance of land enabled meat consumption on a scale unheard of in the Old World. There, an average European was lucky to see meat once a week, while even a poor American consumed about two hundred pounds a year. 
  The panoramic story of how we got from that meat-eater’s paradise to the complexities and contradictions of today is told here through a wide range of sources and records – forming an indispensable guide to the American way of meat and its unexpected consequences.

  HOW THIS PRODUCT CAN WORK FOR YOU 
  For a restful night's sleep, there are several phases you go through. With each phase our sleep gets deeper, our body becomes more relaxed, and our brain wave patterns slow down. We experience our deepest sleep phase when our brain enters the delta wave state. Delta sleep is the phase in which the body regenerates and rebalances itself for the new day. Getting enough sleep is therefore essential for a healthy, productive life. This program has been proven to increase delta wave activity in your brain. It has already helped many people to find regular, restful, and revitalizing sleep. Listen to one of the 33 soundscapes whenever you want to go to sleep.

  The ADHD Consultation Hour ADHD...

  The first edition of the 'small ADHD consultation', published in 2014, was originally created to provide my patients with a quick overview of the broad field of ADHD symptoms in adults as summarised as possible. It was important to me to integrate accompanying disorders and therapeutic options such as medication and coaching strategies. It is not uncommon for the underlying ADHD symptoms to be masked by disorders that develop later (such as obsessive thinking, anxiety, panic attacks and addictions). Only abnormalities in childhood, such as dreaminess or motor restlessness with impulsiveness, allow conclusions to be drawn. Patients and friends were kind enough to embellish this book with their contributions, sketches, pictures and poems. The significantly expanded 3rd edition of the 'Little ADHD Consultation' is due to the increased needs and demands of my patients and the new findings concerning ADHD. New topics such as neurofeedback, medication overview, neurobiological aspects and autistic accompanying phenomena as well as legal aspects and cannabis medication have been included. I wish you many A-HA experiences with this expansion.
