Anticancer living : transform your life and health with the mix of six / by Cohen, Lorenzo,author.; Jefferies, Alison,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."An evidence-based plan to reduce cancer risk and support treatment, featuring six pillars of lifestyle change to support health and well-being. Most patients (and many doctors) do not realize that changes in our daily choices and habits can reduce cancer risk; and improve quality of life, increase the chances of survival, and aid in the healing process for those with cancer. Drawing on the latest scientific evidence and a clinical trial developed at the MD Anderson Cancer Center with David Servan-Schreiber, author of Anticancer: A New Way of Life, Cohen and Jefferies offer a prescriptive plan for optimizing health and thriving after a cancer diagnosis. Social and emotional support, stress management, sleep, exercise, diet, and minimizing exposure to environmental toxins each play an independent role, but working together promote an optimal environment for health and well-being. The synergy created by the Mix of Six can radically transform your health, delay or prevent you or your loved ones from ever getting cancer, support conventional treatments for cancer patients, and significantly improve quality of life - as many testimonies and stories of those in the anticancer community eloquently show. David Servan-Schreiber's Anticancer introduced a revolutionary way to understand and confront cancer. Now Anticancer Living offers a way to further put those principles into daily practice"--

It's the summer of 2003 and thirteen-year-old astronomer Noah Cooper has just moved to Queensport, a small town with a vast amateur sky full of stars. There he meets Tara Dhillon, a lonely girl and aspiring filmmaker. When the two team up to produce an astronomy movie and enter a film contest, they discover a secret plan to turn their rural hamlet into a huge subdivision. Noah and Tara must use their unique skills to identify the culprits who plan on paving over the historic county -- and try to save the infinite beauty of the stars. As if that's not enough to have at stake, Noah needs to win the prize money to buy a new telescope for his unemployed father -- an ex-astronomer who's almost given up on the stars, as well as life on earth. Touching on themes of activism, environmental anxiety and mental health, A Bucket of Stars will have readers cheering for Noah, a boy whose head is in the stars, and Tara, a girl who lives in a world of digital images -- and their special bond that just might mend the world around them.

Great society : a new history / by Shlaes, Amity,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index." In the 1960s, Americans sought the same goals many seek now: an end to poverty, higher standards of living for the middle class, a better environment and more access to health care and education. Then, too, we debated socialism and capitalism, public sector reform versus private sector advancement. Time and again, whether under John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, or Richard Nixon, the country chose the public sector. Yet the targets of our idealism proved elusive. What's more, Johnson's and Nixon's programs shackled millions of families in permanent government dependence. Ironically, Shlaes argues, the costs of entitlement commitments made a half century ago preclude the very reforms that Americans will need in coming decades."--
