A BookRiot Most Anticipated Travel Book of 2023 
Italian beef and hot dogs get the headlines. Cutting-edge cuisine and big-name chefs get the Michelin stars. But Chicago food shows its true depth in classic dishes conceived in the kitchens of immigrant innovators, neighborhood entrepreneurs, and mom-and-pop visionaries. 
Monica Eng and David Hammond draw on decades of exploring the city’s food landscape to serve up thirty can’t-miss eats found in all corners of Chicago. From Mild Sauce to the Jibarito and from Taffy Grapes to Steak and Lemonade, Eng and Hammond present stories of the people and places behind each dish while illuminating how these local favorites reflect the multifaceted history of the city and the people who live there. Each entry provides all the information you need to track down whatever sounds good and selected recipes even let you prepare your own Flaming Saganaki or Akutagawa. 
Generously illustrated with full-color photos, Made in Chicago provides locals and visitors alike with loving profiles of a great food city’s defining dishes.

The best way for students to make sense of violence, and to make strides in reversing its destructive course, is to face it head on. Increase the Peace is a DVD-based learning experience that presents a safe, manageable environment, where students can grapple with violent situations and consider ways to prevent them   The book component of the Increase the Peace program provides context, rationale, and an easy—to—use framework for presenting well-structured lessons in English, history, health, and other classes. With the DVD and accompanying book, you’ll be prepared to lead an exploration into school violence in which students discuss its threat, causes, and impact–as well as strategies for prevention. The program provides opportunities for students to record their feelings, perceptions, and misperceptions as they ask and answer the tough questions about violence

What kind of legacy will you leave in this world? 
How do you know that you will leave the godly legacy you really want to? 
These are the questions that this book answers.\nThe author shows you how to separate and create a new legacy that is distinctly different to the values and culture of our world. 
Within a generation or two of our children no one will remember if we were a Chief Executive, a City Councillor, or Pastor. David shows us that the only thing that will last to bless our children's children will be how we obeyed Jesus in the small decisions of our lives today. Our children will not respect us if we have one foot in the world and the other in Christ. This book is about freeing people from the yoke of the world's expectations on us-to put on God's freeing legacy, where our names will be written in the annals of Heaven, rather than the Wikipedia of earth.

The Guiana Shield is an ancient geological formation located in the northern part of South America, covering an area of 1 million square kilometers. Despite its hostile environment, it is home to many unusual and highly specialized plants and animals, which constitute a rich area of biodiversity. Chapters in this book include hydrology, nutrient cycling, forest phenology, insect-plant interactions, forest microclimate, plant distributions, forest dynamics and conservation and management of flora and fauna. It provides a comprehensive and detailed review of the ecology, biology and natural history of the forests of the area.

This book investigates the fundamental role that tropical bioproductivity - or more specifically net primary productivity - has played in shaping the global geographies of food, finance, governance and people. The book examines the basic astronomical and thermal properties of our planet to illustrate the dynamic nature of the tropics and how the region resides at the very heart of global energetics, driving the environmental flows that shape planetary climate and bioproductivity. The author explores how the region’s relatively small, but hyper-productive, land area provided the groundswell for the economic, social, political and demographic changes that fuelled empires, European colonialism and nation-building. Also covered are discussions on how the critical intake of capital needed to fuel the industrial and technological revolutions driving modern globalization was first expropriated from the tropics by harnessing the region’s natural productivity and biological crop diversity and then transforming it into tradeable commodities using the inhabitants' labour and knowledge. With modern tropical nations accounting for the bulk of people living in poverty and registering some of the highest income disparities, the author presents cross-cutting evidence showing that their histories and the persistence of expropriating institutions have fostered anocratic tendencies, poor governance, unorthodox financial flows and mass migration. 
Tropical Bioproductivity cuts across vast geographies, topics and histories to deliver a readable narrative that links people, places and events with the environmental mechanics of our planet. It will be of interest to students and researchers in the areas of environmental studies, economics, history, agriculture, anthropology and geography.

It is impossible to avoid exposure to toxic heavy metals in today’s world. This book explains how to diagnose mercury poisoning and shows how to safely remove mercury, lead, arsenic and other toxic metals from your body. The case histories in this book demonstrate how exposure to these heavy metals can lead to allergies, anxiety, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, colitis, autism, ADHD, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. The Environmental Protection Agency’s limit for mercury is an intake of 7 micrograms per day for a 70 kg person. If you have dental amalgams (these silver colored fillings are actually 50% mercury) the World Health Organization estimates you are exposed to 4 to 21 micrograms per day. Over decades this adds up to hundreds of milligrams of the element that toxicologists consider the most toxic non-radioactive element. If you eat 100 grams (3.5 ounces) of tuna, you take in another 35 micrograms, or 5 times the daily limit for the average adult. We are also exposed to mercury through some vaccines and pharmaceutical products. At home there are mercury containing CFL light bulbs and fructose syrup. At the same time, the environment is contaminated with several hundred times the level of lead that our pre-industrial ancestors were exposed to. In animal experiments, mercury increased the toxicity of lead by a factor of 14. It is no wonder that so many people are experiencing chronic health problems. Perhaps mercury or another heavy metal is the source of your health problems.
