Summary

In "The Silent Places," Stewart Edward White crafts a vivid and introspective exploration of the American wilderness, employing lyrical prose that transports the reader into the heart of nature's unspoiled beauty. The book artistically intertwines narrative and reflection, illustrating White's deep reverence for the environment while delving into themes of solitude, self-discovery, and the human connection to the natural world. Set against a backdrop of the early 20th-century American frontier, the work reflects an era increasingly aware of industrial encroachment and the loss of untouched landscapes, echoing the sentiments of contemporaneous nature writers like John Muir and Henry David Thoreau. Stewart Edward White was an accomplished author and a passionate outdoorsman whose own experiences in pioneering the wilderness deeply influenced his literary works. His distinctive ability to convey the essence of the natural world was informed by his extensive travels and encounters with both Indigenous cultures and rugged landscapes. This personal connection with the wild is palpable in "The Silent Places," rendering it not merely a narrative but a quest for understanding within nature's vastness. Readers seeking an evocative meditation on the tranquility and spiritual essence of the outdoors will find White's "The Silent Places" an enriching experience. It resonates not only with nature enthusiasts but with anyone who has felt the call of the wild, inviting them to reflect on their own place within the world.

    Food Addiction and Ulta-Processed Food Dependency are diseases typified by loss of control over the ability to stop eating certain foods. Scientifically, food addiction is a cluster of chemical dependencies on specific foods or food substances. After ingesting highly palatable foods, such as those containing significant amounts of sugar, flour, excess fat, and/or salt, some people’s brains crave these foods. In addition, the more processed a food or substance is, the greater its addictive potential. Over time, the progressive eating of these foods distorts a person’s thinking and leads to negative consequences they do not want but cannot stop. What follows is a description of these phenomena and how they are like and different from eating disorders. Further, the book explores the utilization of a substance abuse treatment model as it applies to recovering from these addictive and compulsive disorders.
