At last, a book that synthesizes the increasingly popular concept of calorie restriction (CR)--a life-extending eating strategy with "profound and sustained beneficial effects," according to the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

The Longevity Diet offers clear, straightforward principles for devising an effective eating regimen to live longer and reduce the risks of virtually all the diseases of aging. The concept is simple and flexible---eat fewer calories and choose foods carefully. And it is supported by science: studies on lab mice and other mammals have led to lifespans the human equivalent of which are over 140 years, and many suggest that the benefits extend to humans.
Longtime CR practitioners and experts Brian M. Delaney and Lisa Walford clearly explain the relevant health and nutrition guidelines and provide all of the tools you need to make the appropriate dietary changes. The results can be dramatic: those who follow CR have quickly lowered their cholesterol and blood pressure and reduced body fat. Find out why a growing number of people are choosing the Longevity Diet lifestyle and let this book empower you to achieve a lifetime of healthy eating and living--whether your priorities are to live longer, reduce disease risks, lose weight, or simply feel and look healthier..

The only diet scientifically proven to extend the length and quality of life

The late Dr. Roy L. Walford spent much of his life’s work researching low-calorie diets, and is now recognized as a pioneer of what is widely recognized as "calorie restriction" (CR)—a diet consisting of fewer calories while maintaining adequate nutrition. This is the only diet that has been proven to retard aging and increase healthy life span in mammals. In just six months, by eating smaller amounts of highly nutritious foods, men in Dr. Walford’s studies were shown to lose an average of 26 pounds, and women an average of 15 pounds, while cholesterol levels dropped by an average of 68 points. Blood pressure levels dropped from an average of 110/75 to 90/58 after only three months.

In this tenth anniversary edition of The Anti-Aging Plan, Dr. Walford’s landmark book first published in 1994, Dr. Walford presents the results of his studies and clearly describes how the principles of nutrient-rich caloric limitation can be applied to everyday dieting habits. In the latter half of the book, Dr. Walford and his daughter Lisa, a chef and yoga instructor, offer over 100 delicious recipe ideas that apply to Dr. Walford’s diet plan..

The definitive book on 1940s fashion in America, Europe, Australasia, and Japan.

From French style under the Occupation and the "make do and mend" approach to wartime clothing shortages through issues of dress, patriotism, and propaganda to the rise of American fashion houses in the postwar period: here is a comprehensive look at the fashions and styles that emerged around the world during the 1940s.

During the Second World War, between air raids and ration lines, fashion managed to express ideals of beauty, femininity, and luxury even though patriotic and practical considerations came first. The vivid text by renowned fashion specialist Jonathan Walford details how fashion was considered not a frivolity but an aesthetic expression of circumstances in the 1940s. While Fascist states tried to create "national" styles before the war began, by 1940 the pursuit of beauty was promoted on both sides of the conflict as a patriotic duty.

From prewar to postwar, international attitudes emerge from period advertisements, images of real clothes, and firsthand accounts in contemporary publications. The result is a glorious celebration of everything from practical and smart-looking attire for air raids (hooded capes with large pockets and zippered jumpsuits) to street fashion and the creation of Christian Dior's "New Look" collection in 1947. 250 illustrations, 220 in color..

This chronologically-structured, thematic survey of Western art and architecture (supported with comparative material from non-Western parallel cultures) treats art contextually as an expression of the key values, insights and aspirations of its makers, their patrons, and the surrounding culture. By exploring the style and media of art in ways that connect with larger human concerns, it exposes readers to the wealth offered by art and architecture--not only to their eyes but to their whole selves. It discusses the art of each period in relation to four dominant human concerns--found at all times in all cultures: Spirituality, The Self, Nature, and The City. Boxes within the text highlight the changing roles of the artist within society; describe the media and techniques they use, at their points of first encounter; and explain the belief systems and symbolism that makes art's subject matter more accessible.

In this powerful, poetic, and moving parable, the Wandering Jew of medieval Christian legend journeys to Delphi to consult the famed oracle of the pagans. He is turned away but not before learning that one of the most adept of the old priestesses, or sibyls, lives in disgrace in the mountains above the temple. In her rude goat-hut he seeks the meaning of his disastrous brush with the son of God. She reveals that she, too, has been touched by the son of a god, a very different son, not quite human, born of her own body. He dwells with her as a constant reminder of the betrayal of her mystical and erotic union with the divine, her punishment, and—perhaps—her redemption..
