Behind Putin's curtain : friendships and misadventures inside Russia / by Orth, Stephan,1979-author.; McIntosh, Jamie,translator.; translation of:Orth, Stephan,1979-Couchsurfing im Russia.English.;
Includes bibliographical references."In this humorous and thought-provoking book, Orth ventures through that vast and mysterious territory to uncover the real, unfiltered Russia not seen in today's headlines: authentic, bizarre, dangerous, and beautiful. Sidestepping the well-trod tourist path, he travels the country from Moscow to Vladivostok--across seven time zones and almost 9,500 kilometers--making stops in Chechnya, Saint Petersburg, Siberia, and beyond. Staying with an eclectic array of hosts, he bumps into gun nuts, Internet conspiracy theorists, faux shamans, and Putin fans; learns to drive in death-defying Russian style; and discovers how to cure hangovers by sniffing rye bread. But he also sees a darker side of the country, witnessing firsthand the effects of Putin's influence in the run-up to the 2016 American election and the power of propaganda in this "post-fact" era."--Provided by publisher.

Your fittest future self : making choices today for a happier, healthier, fitter future you / by Trotter, Kathleen,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."With the plethora of diet and exercise regimens available--each with their own unique pros and cons--it is almost impossible to navigate the health world without feeling overwhelmed or paralyzed by indecision. Then, once you pick a path, staying on course is a whole new challenge, as you're buffeted with contradictory advice at every turn. Instead of seeking out one perfect regimen to follow, nutritionist and health writer Kathleen Trotter shows you how to embrace the fact that no one diet, exercise, or mindfulness solution works for everyone. Rather than trying to force yourself to fit a hopeless one-size-fits-all template, learn ways to cut out the information overload so you can find and stick to diet, exercise, mindfulness, and motivational strategies that work for you. Take control over your own health and find your individual equilibrium. Your Fittest Future Self offers a framework for making appropriate, individualized health choices that will lead to a healthier, more fulfilled, and fitter future you."--
