The Happy Accident is a story of one man's effort to put his unhappy past behind him by running away from everything he loves. It is an effort that is doomed to fail. Brad Burke grew up in the shadow of his younger brother, Morris. He faces constant scrutiny from his mother and ridicule from his peers. The only person that ever supports him is Emily, a childhood friend and the love of his life. When WWII breaks out, he is able to do something that his brother can't-join the navy. However, after a horrible accident leaves his foot crushed, Brad comes home from the navy-only to find his beloved Emily married to his brother and pregnant with Morris's child. In his search for peace, Brad travels across the United States, rediscovers old friends, stumbles into wealth, finds a new love, Audrey, and uncovers a new faith. That faith is to be tested again and again until he finally surrenders himself to God. Brad's, Emily's, and Audrey's lives are to be intertwined in a way they never imagined. The Happy Accident is a story of love and hate, joy and sorrow, life and death, until Brad and his true love meet their destiny together.
In the wake of the Terror, France's political and intellectual elites set out to refound the Republic and, in so doing, reimagined the nature of the political order. They argued vigorously over imperial expansion, constitutional power, personal liberty, and public morality. In Reimagining Politics after the Terror, Andrew Jainchill rewrites the history of the origins of French Liberalism by telling the story of France's underappreciated "republican moment" during the tumultuous years between 1794 and Napoleon's declaration of a new French Empire in 1804. Examining a wide range of political and theoretical debates, Jainchill offers a compelling reinterpretation of the political culture of pos...
In this book, a selected group of international experts review nutritional practices and feeding behaviors in infancy and early childhood. They present the latest knowledge on feeding practices during the period considered and their effect on growth, development, and immediate and long-term health. One of the main topics discussed involves feeding practices in the newborn critical care unit, concentrating on the use of human donor milk and probiotics in the diet of premature and ill newborns. Another point of focus is the causes and the effect of an insufficient intake of selected micronutrients, such as iron and zinc, which is highly prevalent particularly in the developing world. Besides, this publication contains information on the influence of early feeding habits on the later development of a number of health-related issues such as food allergies, later food preferences and eating habits, obesity, bone development, the risk of developing celiac disease in genetically predisposed children.This volume provides essential reading for pediatricians, clinical investigators and health workers interested in the effects of early nutrition on health.
The complementary feeding period from 6 to 24 months is a crucial part of the first 1000 days of development. It marks the transition from exclusively milk-based liquid diet to the family diet and self-feeding. During this period, healthy food preferences and feeding practices are formed. The papers in this book were presented at the 87th Nestlé Nutrition Institute Workshop in Singapore, May 2016. Divided into three parts, they provide updates and recommendations, as well as insights into strategies and interventions, from all around the world. The first part addresses the role of complementary feeding in healthy development, focusing on food types and the timing of solid food introduction. The second part examines determinants of growth restriction and discusses effective interventions in infants and children in low- and middle-income countries. The last part focuses on development and 'programming' of behavioral and psychological aspects to prevent childhood obesity in high socioeconomic settings.
