Summary

"Plant-Based Longevity" explores the link between plant-based diets and a longer, healthier life, examining population studies and nutritional science. It highlights how a dietary shift towards plant-based nutrition can improve well-being and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. The book emphasizes the importance of understanding both the nutritional composition of plant-based diets and the epidemiological evidence supporting their health benefits. For instance, populations in the Blue Zones, known for their exceptional longevity, traditionally consume largely plant-based diets. The book presents a carefully planned, whole foods approach to plant-based eating as a proactive health management strategy. It begins with fundamental concepts of plant-based nutrition, progresses through analyses of major population studies like the Adventist Health Studies, and culminates in practical guidelines for adopting and maintaining a balanced plant-based diet. The book addresses dietary concerns such as vitamin B12 intake and provides evidence-based strategies for ensuring nutritional adequacy.

A History of the World in Twelve...

Joël Broekaert

In A History of the World in Twelve Beans, food writer and history buff Joël Broekaert reveals how beans have profoundly shaped human history, culture, and society, through millennia and across continents. Beans have been long dismissed as the "common person's food"—a cheap and nutritious form of protein that replaces expensive meat—and are often the butt of jokes about flatulence (enough to make some Greek philosophers forbid their followers from eating them). But beans, as Broekaert shows, are surprisingly mighty. Fava beans helped pull medieval Europe out of the Dark Ages and fuel a population boom. While soy powered the Chinese empire, thanks to the culinary innovations that turned a nearly indigestible bean into delicious miso, soy sauce, and tofu.The story of beans is also a story of colonialism, exploitation, and survival. The common bean, originating in the Americas and central to the diet of many Indigenous Peoples, crossed the Atlantic as part of the "Columbian exchange" of new foods—along with devastating diseases that decimated Indigenous populations. Cocoa and coffee beans became engines of colonial wealth, slavery, and revolution. Yet beans can also be a symbol of hope. Black-eyes peas, carried to the Americas with enslaved Africans, became a soul food staple and an emblem of Black emancipation. Today, beans are even being promoted as a solution to climate change and food insecurity, with high-tech meat substitutes made from beans.Blending botany, anthropology, culture, economics, and environmental issues, A History of the World in Twelve Beans is a witty, surprising, and eye-opening tour of world history as told through legumes. As Broekaert shows, beans have not only shaped human civilization; they might be a key to a sustainable future, too.

The Software Engineer's...

Gergely Orosz

In my first few years as a developer I assumed that hard work was all I needed. Then I was passed over for a promotion and my manager couldn’t give me feedback on what areas to improve, so I could get to the senior engineer level. I was frustrated; even bitter: not as much about missing the promotion, but because of the lack of guidance.
By the time I became a manager, I was determined to support engineers reporting to me with the kind of feedback and support I wish I would have gotten years earlier. And I did. While my team tripled over the next two years, people became visibly better engineers, and this progression was clear from performance reviews and promotions.
This book is a summary of the advice I’ve given to software engineers over the years – and then some more.
This book follows the structure of a “typical” career path for a software engineer, from starting out as a fresh-faced software developer, through being a role model senior/lead, all the way to the staff/principle/distinguished level. It summarizes what I’ve learned as a developer and how I’ve approached coaching engineers at different stages of their careers.
We cover “soft” skills which become increasingly important as your seniority increases, and the “hard” parts of the job, like software engineering concepts and approaches which help you grow professionally.
Praise for the book
“From performance reviews to P95 latency, from team dynamics to testing, Gergely demystifies all aspects of a software career. This book is well named: it really does feel like the missing guidebook for the whole industry.” – Tanya Reilly, principal engineer and author of The Staff Engineer's Path
"Spanning a huge range of topics from technical to social in a concise manner, this belongs on the desk of any software engineer looking to grow their impact and their career." – James Stanier, Director of Engineering at Shopify
