Not all vegans do yoga thrice daily or thrive on kale juice. This book is for anyone curious about cooking meat-free, who DGAF about carbs. This is the anti-vegan cookbook for vegans. Almost every vegetarian and vegan cookbook focuses on the whole wheat/kefir/green cleanse/salt lamp/lentil aspect of living a cruelty-free diet.

Birmingham's Highland Park originated in the 1880s when a grand boulevard was dug and three lush parks were planned at the northern foothills of Red Mountain. This boulevard was Highland Avenue, at the time the widest street in the South. The development, built within three miles of the center of Birmingham, included the construction of a resort hotel and lake. A dummy line rail system conveyed the populace of The Magic City" out to the beautiful Highland Park neighborhood, where in summer the air was both cooler and cleaner.

This book discusses the following questions: Why are some conflicts so enduring and why is conflict resolution so hard? The author begins by introducing two conflicting perspectives, Skeptics and Believers, to highlight the lack of consensus on conflict resolution. The book further examines the literature on the sources of violent conflict, including ethnic, economic, environmental, and religious sources, and investigates the claim that an absence of knowledge, power, or political will are at the center of conflict resolution failures. By focusing on the problem of state formation, the author demonstrates the ways in which the nature of the state contributes to violent conflict. In the end, conflict resolution fails because individuals, groups, and external powers choose war and often prefer it over peaceful alternatives.

YOU is a definite marker for who you are and what you can be. As humans, we have built this tendency to blame our failures on destiny or the people around us. This surely stops us from unleashing our immense capabilities. YOU is a guide that helps you take your own responsibility, no matter what. It places an unimaginable emphasis on how to remove your self-limitations to be a better version of yourself. Ignorance, dependency or the attitude of blaming might save you momentarily, but it will not serve your purpose. Confronting yourself with factual truths each day is the only key to success. Everything else is utterly a lifelong embarrassment. YOU helps you make the paradigm shift from a ‘self-limiting’ You to a ‘mentally, emotionally and physically advanced’ You.
