Sinossi

Food Supply Chains explores the intricate global network delivering food from farms to consumers, emphasizing economic and environmental factors. It highlights the critical role of resilient food supply chains in ensuring global stability and preventing hunger crises. The book reveals that failures in logistics and infrastructure can have devastating consequences, exacerbating inequalities and leading to widespread food insecurity.

 
For instance, natural disasters or geopolitical instability can disrupt supply chains, impacting food availability and affordability in vulnerable regions. The book systematically builds knowledge by first introducing the core components of food supply chains: production, processing, distribution, and consumption. It then examines potential disruptions, analyzes the role of logistics, and investigates the contribution of supply chain failures to hunger crises. Case studies and statistical data support the analysis, providing a comprehensive understanding of the issues.

 
The book uniquely bridges economics and environmental science, offering insights for policymakers, businesses, and anyone interested in the global food system's sustainability and resilience. Finally, the book proposes strategies for building more resilient and sustainable food supply chains, emphasizing the need for collaboration among governments, businesses, and communities. It progresses by examining disruptions, logistics, and hunger crises, culminating in solutions for a more secure and equitable global food system.

    Artificial intelligence (AI) is a powerful general-purpose technology that is reshaping the modern economy, but misperceptions about AI stand in the way of harnessing it for the betterment of humanity. In Thrive, Ravi Bapna and Anindya Ghose counter the backlash by showcasing how AI is positively influencing the aspects of our daily lives that we care about most: our health and wellness, relationships, education, the workplace, and domestic life. In the process the authors help explain the underlying technology and give people the agency they need to shape the debate around how we should regulate AI to maximize its benefits and minimize its risks. 
     
     
     
    Bringing over two decades of experience with cutting-edge research, consulting, executive coaching, and advising to bear on the subject, Bapna and Ghose demystify the technology of AI itself. They offer a novel "House of AI" framework that encompasses traditional analytics, generative AI, and fair and ethical deployment of AI. Using examples from everyday life, they showcase how the modern AI-powered ecosystem fundamentally improves the emotional, physical, and material well-being of regular people across the globe. Thrive's mission is to educate the public about AI, shape realistic expectations, and foster informed discussions about a fast-emerging AI-shaped society.

    What if time isn’t a straight line—but a wave you can ride? 
    In Time Waves, Michael Mathiesen invites readers on a mind-bending journey through the quantum surf of reality itself. Blending cutting-edge physics, mythic resonance, and visionary storytelling, this book challenges everything we think we know about time, consciousness, and our place in the universe. 
    Spot the Patterns. Feel the Pull. Catch the Wave. 
    This book is more than a theory—it’s a call to action. Mathiesen urges readers to become “time surfers,” attuned to the subtle pulses of possibility that ripple through the cosmos. With practical insights and poetic flair, he shows how to:Recognize when you're caught in a destructive trough—and how to paddle out.Amplify constructive interference in relationships, creativity, and decision-making.Use metaphor as a scientific instrument—bridging the gap between intuition and data.Reframe synchronicity as a measurable phenomenon, not mere coincidence.Design your life as a waveform—balancing chaos and coherence, risk and rhythm. 
    If you’ve ever pondered the nature of time after reading Carlo Rovelli’s The Order of Time, or felt the eerie precision of Jung’s synchronicities, or marveled at gravitational wave detections from LIGO, Time Waves will feel like a homecoming—and a launchpad. 
    Michael Mathiesen is not just writing—he’s building a wave. With cinematic teasers, tweet bursts, and outreach to space agencies, Time Waves is part of a larger mission to shift how we think, feel, and act in relation to time. Readers are invited to become co-creators, surfers, and storytellers in this unfolding paradigm.

    Diverticulitis and diverticular disease are conditions that affect the digestive system, specifically the colon. The colon is a crucial part of the digestive tract, where the body absorbs nutrients and water from food. Diverticulosis, the precursor to diverticulitis, occurs when small, bulging pouches, known as diverticula, form in the walls of the colon. These pouches develop when weak spots in the colon’s muscular layer give way under pressure, creating pockets where waste can accumulate. While diverticulosis is common, especially in individuals over the age of 40, it often goes unnoticed because it doesn’t typically cause symptoms. 
    However, when one or more of these pouches becomes inflamed or infected, it leads to diverticulitis. Diverticulitis can cause significant pain, particularly in the lower left side of the abdomen, and may be accompanied by fever, nausea, and changes in bowel habits, such as diarrhea or constipation. The severity of diverticulitis can vary, ranging from mild cases that can be treated with antibiotics and dietary changes to severe cases that may require hospitalization or surgery. 
    The causes of diverticulitis are still not fully understood, but several factors are believed to contribute to its development. One of the most significant factors is a low-fiber diet, which can lead to constipation and increased pressure within the colon. Other risk factors include aging, obesity, lack of physical activity, smoking, and certain medications, such as steroids or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Genetic predisposition may also play a role in the development of diverticular disease.

    ★ What is AIP Diet? ★The Auto-Immune Protocol (AIP) is a diet recommended for those suffering from autoimmune diseases or pain and with a high degree of systemic inflammation, but also for those interested in deep detoxification of the organism or in doubt that some very common foods, and normally allowed in other food plans, can be a source of intolerance.★ Why AIP Diet? ★It is a therapeutic elimination and reintroduction diet that has a solid scientific basis, created for autoimmune diseases.But also a therapeutic diet to fill nutritional deficiencies, to rebalance the microbiome, to reduce intestinal inflammation and treat the leaky gut, for hormonal balance, to increase antioxidant defenses, to regain energy, to reduce systemic inflammation (and the cardiovascular consequences).The effects on weight control are there but, in my opinion, secondary and a consequence of the recovery of health and well-being. We talk about the Autoimmune Protocol when there are autoimmune disorders or diseases associated with impaired intestinal permeability (leaky gut) with an autoimmune response, such as:rheumatoid arthritis, celiac disease, depression, type 1 diabetes, hypothyroidism, Crohn's disease, narcolepsy, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, Hashimoto's, thyroiditis, vitiligo...★ How does it work? ★It is an elimination diet. This means that it provides for the exclusion of some food groups to observe the effects on health in the following weeks (3-6 weeks).In the first phase, foods and drugs that could be linked to intestinal inflammation or microbiota imbalances are eliminated. Especially products and foods that are known to cause allergies or unwanted reactions are evaluated.♥  So, starting from a concept of CLEAN FOOD, we have created 80 easy recipes, accessible to beginners and not, to    approach this food plan, experiment with it and immediately feel the benefits.✓Enjoy the Diet, Enjoy new life !!!
