Natural Bioactive Compounds from Fruits and Vegetables as Health Promoters Part I
Plants have been widely used to treat diseases, owing to the presence of bioactive compounds (phytochemicals) which play important roles in health promotion and disease prevention. In recent years, advances in chemical extraction techniques, lifestyle and dietary choices for human health have increased the interest in the consumption and study of fruits, vegetables, and foods enriched with bioactive compounds and nutraceuticals. Thousands of dietary phytochemicals, such as flavonoids, phenolic acids, glucosinolates, terpenes and alkaloids, have been identified and categorized further according to a diverse array of biochemical properties.

The Faith of Remembrance
In a series of intimate and searing portraits, Nathan Wachtel traces the journeys of the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Marranos—Spanish and Portuguese Jews who were forcibly converted to Catholicism but secretly retained their own faith. Fleeing persecution in their Iberian homeland, some sought refuge in the Americas, where they established transcontinental networks linking the New World to the Old. The Marranos—at once Jewish and Christian, outsiders and insiders—nurtured their hidden beliefs within their new communities, participating in the economic development of the early Americas while still adhering to some of the rituals and customs of their ancestors. In a testament to ...
FOCUS
While attending the Henley Royal Regatta in England, Samantha Norquist, an American photojournalist, inadvertently overhears three men plotting to illicitly ship weapons to the Congo. Her photographs of Che Guevara had garnered her international recognition and now this secret information would alter her career in Europe and catapult her into a wild and dangerous assignment in Central Africa. The story follows gunrunners on the shark-infested Zambezi River and across the Rhodesian savanna with its profusion of animals and birds. Focus is a tale of love, joy, greed and malice. It transports the reader through the turbulent years of 1960-1961 in Europe and Africa and ends with an event that stuns the world.

Strange Pilgrimages
This anthology "decolonizes" the voices of Latin Americans who travel abroad and engage in cultural critiques of their homelands in counterpoint to foreigners' better known accounts of Latin America. The 17 contributions by North and South American academics examine--including entertaining first person accounts--the themes of constructing nations/a national identity post- independence, touring modernity, taking sides, and the art of living and working abroad. References include suggested films (e.g. Carmen Miranda: Bananas is My Business, 1994) as well as readings. Lacks an index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR
