中文概要: 哪些食物有营养，哪些食物没用处，哪些食物有利健康，哪些食物有害健康，看起来完全是一个科学问题，但实际上常常受到心理，社会，历史和政治因素的影响。作者分析了影响美国人对食物的态度的各种因素，以及为什么新鲜，自然，有机，未加工这些性质如今十分重要。

英文简介: Popular attitudes toward nutrition have been influenced by a variety of psychological, social, historical, and political factors. Foods frequently have reputations for health that have little to do with their nutrient content. Similarly, food nutrients (for example, dietary fat) often have reputations that are not in agreement with the established science concerning that particular nutrient. Bad Foods explores factors that influence our attitudes about healthy eating in the United States today. As Oakes demonstrates, a variety of historical or political events and personalities have shaped our current views of good nutrition. On several occasions in American history concerns have arisen over the safety of our food supply (e.g., harmful ingredients in processed foods) and the potential that processing might deplete foods of their nutrients. These concerns help explain how food characteristics such as freshness, natural, organic, and unprocessed have become important to Americans. Bad Foods traces how the food nutrients fat, salt, and sugar have acquired negative reputations for health as well as any controversies and outright misconceptions of the dangers of these nutrients.

英文简介: When two avid readers and food lovers combined their passions, they wound up creating this excellent resource for book discussion groups. Gelman and Krupp began by selecting 100 fiction and nonfiction titles that stood out as favorite choices of book clubs around the country. For each, they then provided a concise yet entertaining synopsis and discussion of the role that food plays in the story, one or two tempting recipes inspired by the book, and a profile of the book club recommending that title. Offered here are a few classics, such as Anna Karenina (Wild Mushrooms on Toast), but most of the choices are more contemporary, ranging from Michael Cunningham’s The Hours (Britta’s Crab Casserole) to Sue Monk Kidd’s The Secret Life of Bees (Honeycake, naturally). Similar works include The New Great American Writers’ Cookbook, edited by Dean Faulkner Wells, which concentrates more on writers’ ties to a particular recipe or dish, and Shauna Kennedy Wenger and Janet Kay Jensen’s The Book Lover’s Cookbook, a collection of book extracts and recipes inspired by great works of literature that is nicely suited to individual readers wishing to explore culinary connections in literature. The Book Club Cookbook excels at offering book groups new title ideas and a culinary way to spice up their discussions. Highly recommended for public libraries.

英文简介: King of the ring and king of the grill, George Foreman joins forces with chef Barbara Witt to provide all-new dishes for grill and rotisserie cooking. The recipes in this book can be prepared indoors, using an electric or stovetop grill; or outdoors, on an electric, charcoal, or gas-powered barbecue. Grilling is healthful and quick. If you do a little work in advance, once you fire up the grill, dinner can be ready in a matter of minutes. So dishes like Rib Roast with Rosemary and Roasted-Garlic Wine Sauce, Chicken Breasts with Peanut Sauce, Ginger Honey Duck, and Curried Salmon Steak become easy weeknight dinners instead of party fare. Foreman and Witt have created delicious recipes for grilled meats, poultry, seafood, vegetables, innovative grilled salads and pasta sauces -- even pizza. Complete with full nutritional information, the recipes reflect an international range of flavors -- Caribbean, Pan-Asian, and Latin -- and provide new twists on all-American favorites. In the recipe introductions and in the vegetable chapter, there are suggestions for side dishes, some of which can be prepared on the grill alongside the main course. You’ll find everything you need to know about equipment; ways to maximize flavor by using seasoning rubs, pastes, marinades, and brines; and there are sources for the best meats and ingredients. While these dishes are full of big flavors, the ingredients can be found in any well-stocked supermarket. Whether you want a quick-fix family meal, a backyard barbecue feast, or an elegant dinner party, you’ll find the perfect recipe in George Foreman’s Big Book of Grilling, Barbecue, and Rotisserie.

英文简介: In 30 Essential Yoga Poses, Judith Lasater draws on her wealth of yoga practice and teaching experience, as well as her training as a physical therapist, to present this comprehensive guide for beginning students and their teachers.

In Part One, "Beginning with an Ancient Tradition," she discusses yoga’s ancient eightfold path and its relevance in today’s world. In Part Two, "Being a Student, Being a Teacher," she goes to the heart of yoga, that is, the all-important student-teacher relationship. Students will find this part helpful in selecting an appropriate teacher. Her discussion about creating clear boundaries is invaluable support for teachers who wish to establish, as she advocates, "a restorative environment" for their students.

She describes thirty essential yoga poses (asana), their variations, and breathing practices (pranayama) in Part Three, "The Poses." She offers guidance for the student practicing at home, and points for the teacher to take into his or her classroom.

In Part Four, "The Practice," she puts the poses together in four ways:
* a sequence for busy days
* a sequence for each day of the week
* themed sequences for lower back pain, hip and hamstring flexibility, shoulder and upper back flexibility, balance, strength, energy, fatigue, relaxation
* a sequence using the thirty essential yoga poses

Each sequence is presented as a photographic chart for easy visual reference, and includes a "Mantra for Daily Practice."

Part Five, "And More," includes a glossary of anatomical terms and resources for further study.
