Orthorexia
Could you or someone you love be dangerously obsessed with diet and exercise? Do you can care more about the virtue of what you eat – how "clean" it is – than the pleasure you receive from eating it? Do you sacrifice experiences you once enjoyed to eat the food you believe is right? Do you understand the impact these restrictions are having on your body? Do you feel guilt or self-loathing when you stray from your "clean" diet? Orthorexia is an unhealthy obsession with eating only healthy food. It is closely related to anorexia, but focused on quality of food rather than quantity. But how do you know if you or a friend or loved one has crossed that line? And how much do you really know about the impact these diets, plans and detoxes are having on your body? Orthorexia: When Healthy Eating Goes Bad will compassionately and expertly help you to recognise potential issues, break free from the condition and guide you to finding a way back to a balanced, truly healthy way of eating and enjoying life.

This Isn't The Sort Of Thing That Happens To Someone Like You
A man builds a tree house by a river, in anticipation of the coming flood. A sugar-beet crashes through a young woman's windscreen. A boy sets fire to a barn. A pair of itinerant labourers sit by a lake, talking about shovels and sex, while fighter-planes fly low overhead and prepare for war. These aren't the sort of things you imagine happening to someone like you. But sometimes they do. Set in the flat and threatened fenland landscape, where the sky is dominant and the sea lurks just beyond the horizon, these delicate, dangerous, and sometimes deeply funny stories tell of things buried and unearthed, of familiar places made strange, and of lives where much is hidden, much is at risk, and tender moments are hard-won.

From as young as she can remember, she was the subject of verbal and physical racist abuse. In Black Sheep, Sabrina reveals how she got from there to here: about growing up in a home, a school and a town where no-one looked l...
Sports Endocrinology
Since the observation in the 19th century that an extract of the suprarenal bodies injected into the circulation caused a rise in blood pressure, the endocrine system has become a major component in our understanding of human physiology. The introduction of radioimmunoassay techniques and the ability to measure minimal amounts of hor mones (a term derived from the Greek "to excite") have shown that acute exercise causes a release of a large number of hormones and that chronic exercise may further lead to long-term alterations in endocrine homeostasis. Actually, almost every organ and system in the body is affected by physical activity and exercise, much of it through the endocrine and neuroe...
