Clay Pennell delights in, at last, riding the famous RAGBRAI, Registers Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa, a goal achieved. Since childhood, cycling assumed an important place in Clays life, both as recreation and conditioning. In addition, it was on his bike that he sifted through any issues that he confronted. At the conclusion of his ride across Iowa, Clay left more in the small Iowa town of Packwood than just memories. However, his life went on with only fleeting moments of reflection on that night in Packwoods Friendship Park. Ten years later Clay faces a serious interruption in a life that has included a successful career in the cycling world and a successful marriage to a beautiful executive in a thriving electronics firm located in suburban Minneapolis. An accident on his bike has clouded his future as a cyclist, confronted him with the need to discover just who was responsible for his potentially fatal encounter with a white pickup, and added mistrust to his marriage. Ultimately, Clay confronts a crisis that extends far beyond mere cycling. His decision could have a profound influence on a childs life.
Home from her honeymoon in Australia Darcy Sweet is settling nicely into life as a married woman. The spirit world in Misty Hollow is uncharacteristically quiet and peaceful and even her Great Aunt Millie is unusually quiet. Which is very odd. It was like all of the ghosts have just... gone. Darcy doesn't mind... it's a chance for some peace and quiet and gives her the illusion that she is just an ordinary woman living an ordinary life. At least, that is, until she discovers something strange about her Great Aunt's death that raises some questions about how Millie actually died. But she died from natural causes... didn't she? Darcy has always believed it to be true... so when evidence comes to light that this may not have been the case Darcy's whole world is shaken to the core. Can Darcy and Jon work out what's going on before someone else close to them loses their life?
Childhood obesity is one of the most pressing global public health challenges of the 21st century. In response, States need to employ a multisectoral approach including labelling rules, food marketing restrictions and fiscal policies. However, these legal measures interact in a complex fashion with international economic and human rights law raising a range of legal questions. This timely book edited by Garde, Curtis and De Schutter explores these questions offering insightful perspectives. Of fundamental interest to legal professionals and academics, Ending Childhood Obesity also makes the legal complexities accessible to a broad range of public health and other policy actors addressing obesity and related non-communicable diseases.
