Synopsis

"Taste Test" explores the fascinating science of taste, revealing how our taste buds and sensory transduction mechanisms allow us to perceive flavors. The book explains how taste is not just a simple sense, but a complex experience shaped by genetics, environment, and individual perception. It dives into the biology behind the five primary tastes – sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami – highlighting how these tastes evolved to guide our ancestors towards nutritious foods. 

 
The book progresses systematically, starting with the basic components of the taste system and moving on to how genetics influence food preferences, explaining why some individuals are "supertasters." It connects taste to related fields like nutrition, genetics, and neuroscience, demonstrating how understanding taste perception has practical applications in areas such as food product development and personalized nutrition. 

 
The book emphasizes the profound impact of taste on our health, food choices, and cultural identity. "Taste Test" uses an accessible approach, avoiding technical jargon and using real-world examples to illustrate complex concepts. It draws from peer-reviewed scientific studies, sensory evaluation experiments, and flavor chemistry to explain the molecular basis of different tastes. 

 
Ultimately, the book offers a fresh perspective on one of our most fundamental senses, making it valuable for anyone interested in biology, food science, or health fitness.

    The globalised belief in one ‘God’ has become a problem. The prayer ‘Our Father in heaven’ presents an image that embodies the values of uniformity, exclusivity, patriarchy, authoritarianism and the absence of a sacred presence in nature. 
      
    Here on earth, the climate and biodiversity emergencies foreshadow an apocalyptic future for humans and all life forms. To confront and resolve these emergencies, we need to apply values contrary to the ‘Father God’ image. The important values today include: diversity, inclusivity, gender justice, democracy and a recognition of the sacredness of nature. 
      
    Can we find new spiritual images and narratives that embody these values? This book suggests we can. 
      
    Reimagining the Divine is a call for diversity in belief. No religion has a monopoly of truth. Everyone’s experience and perspective has merit. 
      
    The Spirituality of Experience is a form of mysticism that incorporates these new values. Practiced historically by Celtic monks, it focuses on one’s personal experience of the sacred, and not on beliefs or a creed. 
    If your vision for the future is 
    ·     The return of humans to harmony with the rest of nature 
    ·     The building of a world community that is tolerant and inclusive 
    ·     Finding a way of living on this planet that corrects the human causes of climate change and biodiversity loss 
    then this book may help you, and all of us, get there.

    The Hunger Code - Resetting Your...

    For generations, we've accepted the story that weight loss can never last—that as soon as we go off the diet or stop taking the medication, we revert to our old habits, regain the weight, and the calorie-counting journey starts all over again. Traditional medicine continues to treat the symptom of weight gain rather than addressing its root causes. Too often, healthcare systems intervene with quick fixes and short-term solutions, ignoring the factors that lead to sustainable weight loss that can last a lifetime.
     
    
     
    What if the secret to long-term weight maintenance and better health isn’t just about what you eat—or even when you eat—but why you eat?
     
    
     
    With the food industry's reliance on ultra-processed foods and the popularity of Ozempic and Mounjaro, understanding the forces behind why we eat is more important than ever before.
     
    
     
    In The Hunger Code, New York Times bestselling author Dr. Jason Fung reveals the three powerful forces that drive us to eat:
     
    
     
    - Physical Hunger
     
    
     
    - Emotional Hunger
     
    
     
    - Social Hunger
     
    
     
    Dr. Fung also introduces the concept of the body’s “fat thermostat”—a biological “set point” that regulates how much fat your body tries to maintain. Guided by hormones and metabolism, this internal system drives hunger and energy use, explaining why lasting weight loss requires more than just willpower …
     
    
     
    With three Golden Rules and 50 actionable tips, The Hunger Code empowers you to recognize and respond to hunger appropriately. Learn how to slow digestion, break emotional eating cycles, and overcome social pressures to eat constantly, so you can maintain a healthy weight—from scratch, after fasting, or after using weight-loss drugs.

    The book is an abridged story of life that we see now and the life forms that 
    existed in the past. Readers can flip through pages of the planet's 
    history and explore the secrets hidden in the fossils scattered across forgotten landscapes. 
    The species we see today are only a tiny fraction of all those that 
    have ever lived on Earth. Most of the species have vanished throughout the Earth's history. 
    The author intersected at five major extinction episodes and narrated 
    selected stories of the lost world while highlighting life's journey on our plants —from tiny 
    microorganisms to massive dinosaurs, mammoths and mastodons, ultimately leading up to humans. 
    Unfortunately, we're now facing a critical moment when Earth’s biodiversity is at risk of being wiped out entirely, 
    and our planet may stop breathing one day. This prompts readers to reflect on what we have done to bring life's 
    diversity to such a vulnerable state. The author concludes the book with future perspectives on how we all can stop the next mass extinction.

    A powerful, entertaining and, at times, eviscerating commentary on the most controversial of original superfoods. 
     
    Milk. It's in our coffee, on our cereal. We see it in processed form – yoghurt, butter, cheese, skimmed and lactose free. It's there in almond form, or made from oats or soy, and is as lauded as the 'perfect' food or lambasted as not fit for human consumption and a toxic planet killer, depending on who you trust. Which type you drink, whether you were raised on breastmilk, what you think of it, is affected by culture, biology and fashion. How you view it is driven by your gender and your politics, as well as your geography. 
     
    The miracle liquid has suffered an image problem. It has been used to keep people poor, to keep women subjugated, and to build corporate and medical careers. It's been blamed for climate change, the breakdown of human health, and an enabler of the industrial revolution. From perfect food to pariah, milk's role in life has often been debased. 
     
    Milk celebrates the majesty of this noble liquid, and delves into the pretenders to its throne, from formula to Mylk. It looks at the transformation of what a milk-producer eats into one of the most nutrient dense foods available, and how that can be transformed again into the butter, cheese and clotted cream that we know and love today. It's an exploration of the science, history and politics of what makes mammals different from every other life form on earth.
