Today, it is common knowledge that diet can play a significant role in preventing cancer. Numerous medical studies linking the modern high-fat, high-cholesterol diet with breast, colon, prostate, ovarian, and other forms of cancer have provided scientific support to the macrobiotic approach taught for the last thirty years by Michio Kushi and his associates. In Cancer-Free, the East West Foundation with journalists Ann Fawcett and Cynthia Smith presents further evidence that a naturally balanced macrobiotic diet can dramatically and positively influence the outcome of already existing cancers. This book contains personal accounts of thirty people from many walks of life--including housewives, business executives, a medical doctor, a registered nurse, an autoworker, a retired airline pilot, a stockbroker, a United Nations senior administrator--who recovered from a wide range of cancers, including breast cancer, colon cancer, stomach cancer, pancreatic cancer, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, prostate cancer, bone cancer, brain tumor, malignant melanoma, leukemia, and Hodgkin's disease. Besides personal narratives, Cancer-Free includes several medically documented cases of terminal cancer remission compiled by Vivien Newbold, M.D., a physician practicing in Philadelphia. This breakthrough study is a must for everyone with an interest in safe, effective natural approaches to health.

Why design now? As issues of ecology and sustainable living continue to gain in urgency and topicality, design has come to the forefront of the arts as the discipline best equipped to meet today's challenges. Designers around the world are rising to this clarion call by creating products, buildings, landscapes, messages and more that address important social and ecological problems. Why Design Now? National Design Triennial accompanies the fourth installation in Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum's acclaimed National Design Triennial exhibition series. Designed by Michael Bierut, a partner in the award-winning design firm Pentagram, Why Design Now? is the first Triennial book to be truly international in reach, with 134 designers and projects in more than 44 countries. With eight essays by four Cooper-Hewitt curators, project profiles and more than 350 color illustrations, many of which have never been published before, Why Design Now? offers a glimpse into contemporary innovation, and an up-to-the-minute survey of what progressive designers, engineers, entrepreneurs and citizens are doing in diverse fields and at different scales. Many of the featured works have influenced other designers by proposing new methodologies or by pioneering new techniques; also included are practical solutions already being implemented as well as experimental ideas designed to inspire further research. Each of the selected works--from a soil-powered table lamp to a post-petroleum urban utopia--celebrates the transformative power of design.

Back in print, the first Emma Rhodes novel.
With her impeccable manners, a wardrobe to die for, and the perfect combination of beauty and brains, no one can confuse Emma Rhodes with a run-of-the-mill investigator. She prefers to think of herself as a “private resolver,” a person the rich and famous can turn to when a problem needs to be resolved quickly and quietly. All it takes is $20,000 and two weeks’ time for Emma to prove her worth. So far her record is perfect. But when Emma thwarts the kidnapping of one of Belgium’s royal family, she becomes the unlikely target of Middle Eastern zealots.
