Download or read book Superfoods written by Jeffrey P. Miller and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-04-22 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Superfoods have come to the forefront of the public imagination due to a combination of presumed health benefits and cultural mystique. Much of the literature on these foods, however, is based upon rostrums and diet plans that accept the health claims of superfoods without subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny. Superfoods: Cultural and Scientific Perspectives examines these food products from a blended science and cultural viewpoint, presenting a balanced, evidence-based view of each food item. Following a discussion of “superfoods” as a category, the book’s chapters examine individual superfoods, including but not limited to: avocados, chocolate, wine, berries, and fish oil. Presented in a systemic manner, each chapter provides a cultural history of the superfood; a survey of the current state of nutritional research on the food and its health claims; an exploration of related science topics to enhance understanding of the superfood, (i.e., a survey of the botany, biology, or chemistry studies); social issues associated with the superfood, such as sustainability, environmental health concerns, agricultural issues, fair trade and marketing issues; and one to three recipes featuring the superfood. This combination of scientific and cultural perspectives makes Superfoods an invaluable reference for academics, industry professionals, and lay-readers alike.

Download or read book The Reappearing Act written by Kate Fagan and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-05-06 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s hard enough coming out, but playing basketball for a nationally ranked school and trying to figure out your sexual identity in the closeted and paranoid world of big-time college sports—that’s a challenge. Kate Fagan’s love for basketball and for her religious teammates at the University of Colorado was tested by the gut-wrenching realization that she could no longer ignore the feelings of otherness inside her. In trying to blend in, Kate had created a hilariously incongruous world for herself in Boulder. Her best friends were part of Colorado’s Fellowship of Christian Athletes, where they ran weekly Bible studies and attended an Evangelical Free Church. For nearly a year, Kate joined them and learned all she could about Christianity—even holding their hands as they prayed for others “living a sinful lifestyle.” Each time the issue of homosexuality arose, she felt as if a neon sign appeared over her head, with a giant arrow pointed downward. During these prayer sessions, she would often keep her eyes open, looking around the circle at the closed eyelids of her friends, listening to the earnestness of their words. Kate didn’t have a vocabulary for discussing who she really was and what she felt when she was younger; all she knew was that she had a secret. In The Reappearing Act, she brings the reader along for the ride as she slowly accepts her new reality and takes the first steps toward embracing her true self.

After Adam and Eve sinned in the garden of Eden, instead of running to God, they ran for cover. They felt the weight of their sin. They felt ashamed. And they didn’t know what else to do but to hide. Do you know what it’s like to feel stuck in the cycle of shame? In Goodbye Hiding, Hello Freedom, Morgan Krueger invites us to experience redemption, freedom, and hope in Jesus Christ. Through personal stories and biblical wisdom, Morgan offers encouragement to every soul who has ever felt disqualified from the abundant life God has for her because of her past. Morgan links arms with her readers as she talks through our beautiful identity as daughters, combats the shame that keeps us from growing, and exposes wounds that won’t heal. Morgan teaches on how to forgive yourself, the blessing of community, and our wholeness in Jesus. The world has a lot to say about who you are and who you should be. Morgan lifts the burden of cultural lies and replaces them with the truth of our freedom in Christ. Join her in saying, Goodbye Hiding, Hello Freedom.

Download or read book Boston s Black Athletes written by Robert Cvornyek and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2024-07-08 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sport often mirrored the racial climate of the time, but it also informed and encouraged equality on and off the field. In Boston, the Black athletic body historically represented a challenge to the city’s liberal image. Boston's Black Athletes: Identity, Performance, and Activism interprets Boston’s contested racial history through the diverse experiences of the city’s African American sports figures who directed their talent toward the struggle for social justice. Editors Robert Cvornyek and Douglas Stark and the contributors explore a variety of representative athletes, such as Kittie Knox, Louise Stokes, and Medina Dixon, that negotiated Boston’s racial boundaries at sequential moments during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to demonstrate Boston’s long and troubled racial history. The contributors’ biographical sketches are grounded in stories that have remained memorable within Boston’s Black neighborhoods. In recounting the struggles and triumphs of these individuals, this book amplifies their stories and reminds readers that Boston’s Black sports fans found a historic consistency in their athletes to shape racial identity and cultural expression.
