Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Beyond the Calorie challenges one of the most familiar assumptions in nutrition: that the number printed on a food label fully describes what food will do inside the human body.A calorie is real. Thermodynamics is not in dispute. But the calorie on a label is an estimate, based on conversion factors developed in the nineteenth century. Modern controlled-feeding research shows that this estimate can fail when food structure, digestion, fermentation, thermic cost, hormones, and metabolic adaptation are taken seriously.This book explores why two foods with similar calorie counts can produce different physiological outcomes.It examines: - why whole almonds may deliver less metabolizable energy than their label suggests, - how intact plant cell walls can physically block digestive enzymes, - how beta-glucan and other viscous fibers slow glucose absorption, - why protein, fat, and carbohydrate differ in thermic cost, - why fructose behaves differently from glucose in the liver, - how the Carbohydrate-Insulin Model and Energy Balance Model can be understood as different layers of the same problem, - and why leptin makes weight maintenance a distinct biological challenge from weight loss.This is not a diet book. It offers no meal plans, no promises, and no one-size-fits-all prescription. Instead, it is a science-based explanation of how food structure, nutrient identity, and hormonal regulation shape the body's response to energy.The conclusion is not that calories are irrelevant. The conclusion is more precise: Calories are chemically true, but physiologically incomplete.For readers interested in metabolism, nutrition science, obesity biology, food labeling, and the deeper question of why 'a calorie is a calorie' is both true and misleading, Beyond the Calorie offers a clear, evidence-based framework for thinking beyond the number.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -What makes a hero Is it strength, sacrifice, wisdom, or something quieter, like care, resilience, or the courage to be different In Heroes Across Cultures, editor Prof. Dr. A. Serdar Öztürk gathers a chorus of voices to show that theres no single answer. This isnt just another book about warriors and glory; its a journey through stories often overlooked, of poets who taught entire communities, rebels who defied rigid social orders, mystics who walked on water, and ordinary people who became extraordinary through empathy, endurance, or quiet defiance. From Nana Asmaus classrooms in West Africa to the digital frontiers of William Gibsons sci-fi worlds, from the dragon-slaying legends of Sari Saltuk to the gender-fluid reimaginings of Joan of Arc, these chapters reveal how every culture shapes its own heroes, and how those heroes, in turn, shape us. Written by scholars deeply engaged with their traditions, this collection invites readers to see heroism not as a fixed ideal, but as a living, evolving conversation across time, place, and identity. Whether youre new to epic literature or have studied it for years, this book offers fresh, human-centered perspectives that remind us: heroes arent just born in battle, theyre made in the everyday acts that define our shared humanity. 250 pp. Englisch.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Literary saga for readers who have outgrown simple answers.One hundred and seventy-six thousand years ago, in a cave three hundred and thirty-six meters beneath the surface of southern France, the Eldren gathered for the last time. They knew a shadow was coming for them. They also knew it could not be stopped - only outlived. So the Last Priest sent sixty-four bearers into the dark of the centuries, each carrying one strand of an inheritance the Iron-Minded would spend a hundred millennia trying to extinguish.This is the saga of how that inheritance survived-not in books, but in the marrow.The Hell of the Iron-Minded: The Restoration follows the quiet awakening of Elias Thorne and Lyra, two souls navigating a world designed to disconnect them. As they uncover the ancient mycelial code written into their own biology, they realize that modern exhaustion isn't a failure of the self, but a symptom of a hundred-thousand-year war. Their survival depends on remembering what the Iron-Minded tried to delete.The story braids verified science - the 2016 Bruniquel Nature findings, mycorrhizal networks, epigenetic inheritance - with the deep memory of every culture that ever heard the same whisper: the Anatolian Sufi erenler, the Lakota Mitakuye Oyasin, the Aboriginal Dreaming, the Maya cenote, the Tao that cannot be named.And it names, for the first time, the disease beneath every modern disaster: the Husking - the patient extraction that takes the grain and leaves the husk, that takes the soil's living complexity and leaves a tilled surface measured in yield-per-acre, that takes the people's woven culture and leaves consumers, audiences, demographics, markets."Goodness creates. Evil consumes. The Husking is consumption wearing the mask of creation."What's inside this 99-page premium full-color illustrated edition: - An eight-pillar Galactic Manifesto, revealed across three days of fasting on an Aegean coast- A ninth pillar - left blank, addressed to you- The journey of Elias and Lyra: Finding the "Silent Garden Within" amidst the noise of the Husking- The awakening of sixty-four bearers in sixty-four cities- The shadow ninth - Kaspar Verloren, who chose the Husking- An interactive AGORA inviting you into the conversation- 25 original archaeological-style illustrations- The Open Coda - a participatory tasting from the second telling: five ancestral paths, two paths yet to open, and seven signals from the darkThis book is the starter, not the manifesto. The real manifesto will be written by those who answer the call, in the rooms where they happen to be standing, in the languages their grandmothers happened to teach them."Listen, then, so that what reached us may be completed in your marrow."For readers of Ursula K. Le Guin's Always Coming Home, Richard Powers' The Overstory, Yuval Noah Harari's Sapiens, and Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist - but unlike any of them.Within the count of the 172nd turn of time, the chamber will open.
