In 2005, the United States imported five billion pounds of seafood, nearly double what we imported twenty years earlier. Bizarrely, during that same period, our seafood exports quadrupled. American Catch examines New York oysters, Gulf shrimp, and Alaskan salmon to reveal how it came to be that 91 percent of the seafood Americans eat is foreign. In the 1920s, the average New Yorker ate six hundred local oysters a year. Today, the only edible oysters lie outside city limits. Following the trail of environmental desecration, Greenberg comes to view the New York City oyster as a reminder of what is lost when local waters are not valued as a food source. Farther south, a different catastrophe threatens another seafood-rich environment. When Greenberg visits the Gulf of Mexico, he arrives expecting to learn of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill s lingering effects on shrimpers, but instead finds that the more immediate threat to business comes from overseas. Asian-farmed shrimp cheap, abundant, and a perfect vehicle for the frying and sauces Americans love have flooded the American market. Finally, Greenberg visits Bristol Bay, Alaska, home to the biggest wild sockeye salmon run left in the world. A pristine, productive fishery, Bristol Bay is now at great risk: The proposed Pebble Mine project could under-mine the very spawning grounds that make this great run possible. In his search to discover why this pre-cious renewable resource isn t better protected, Green-berg encounters a shocking truth: the great majority of Alaskan salmon is sent out of the country, much of it to Asia. Sockeye salmon is one of the most nutritionally dense animal proteins on the planet, yet Americans are shipping it abroad. Despite the challenges, hope abounds. In New York, Greenberg connects an oyster restoration project with a vision for how the bivalves might save the city from rising tides. In the Gulf, shrimpers band together to offer local catch direct to consumers. And in Bristol Bay, fishermen, environmentalists, and local Alaskans gather to roadblock Pebble Mine. With American Catch, Paul Greenberg proposes a way to break the current destructive patterns of consumption and return American catch back to American eaters. The Washington Post: "Americans need to eat more American seafood. It s a point [Greenberg] makes compellingly clear in his new book, American Catch: The Fight for our Local Seafood...Greenberg had at least one convert: me. Jane Brody, New York Times Excellent. The Los Angeles Times If this makes it sound like American Catch is another of those dry, haranguing issue-driven books that you read mostly out of obligation, you needn t worry. While Greenberg has a firm grasp of the facts, he also has a storyteller s knack for framing them in an entertaining way.

In the early 1980s, Leonard Mlodinow joined their ranks to begin a postdoctoral fellowship. Afraid he was not smart enough to be there, despite his groundbreaking Ph.D. thesis, he took his insecurities to Richard Feynman, Caltech's intimidating resident genius and iconoclast. So began a pivotal year in a young man's life. Though a series of fascinating exchanges, Mlodinow and Feynman delve into the nature of science, creativity, love mathematics, happiness, God, art, pleasures and ambition, producing a moving portrait of a friendship and an affecting account of Feynman's final creative years.

タイトル: What It's Like to Be a Bird: From Flying to Nesting, Eating to Singing--What Birds Are Doing, and Why著者: David Allen Sibley出版社: Knopf出版日: 2020年04月14日古本非常に良い。端が少し摩耗しているが、汚れのないきれいな本。製本状態は良好。ダスト ジャケットが付属している場合は、それも含まれます。リサイクル可能なアメリカ製の封筒で発送します。すべての注文に 100% 返金保証付き。The bird book for birders and nonbirders alike that will excite and inspire by providing a new and deeper understanding of what common, mostly backyard, birds are doing--and why: "Can birds smell?"; "Is this the same cardinal that was at my feeder last year?"; "Do robins 'hear' worms?" "The book's beauty mirrors the beauty of birds it describes so marvelously." --NPR In What It's Like to Be a Bird, David Sibley answers the most frequently asked questions about the birds we see most often. This special, large-format volume is geared as much to nonbirders as it is to the out-and-out obsessed, covering more than two hundred species and including more than 330 new illustrations by the author. While its focus is on familiar backyard birds--blue jays, nuthatches, chickadees--it also examines certain species that can be fairly easily observed, such as the seashore-dwelling Atlantic puffin. David Sibley's exacting artwork and wide-ranging expertise bring observed behaviors vividly to life. (For most species, the primary illustration is reproduced life-sized.) And while the text is aimed at adults--including fascinating new scientific research on the myriad ways birds have adapted to environmental changes--it is nontechnical, making it the perfect occasion for parents and grandparents to share their love of birds with young children, who will delight in the big, full-color illustrations of birds in action. Unlike any other book he has written, What It's Like to Be a Bird is poised to bring a whole new audience to David Sibley's world of birds.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Ending Human Suffering How to End Suffering, whether it's Physical, Mental, Emotional, Spiritual, and Financial【電子書籍】[ David G. Speer ]

＜p＞Dr. David G. Speer believes that much of the fear, judgment, and division we see in the world stems from a single scientific error made over 150 years ago. Early biologists mistakenly described cell division as one cell splitting into two “separate” cellsーrather than as two parts of the same original cell coexisting. This misunderstanding has shaped how we view one another: not as connected, but as separate.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Cultural messages such as “you’re not good enough,” “you’re broken,” or “you’d be lovable if only . . .” are rooted in these mistaken beliefs. But what if you saw yourself and others as the Creator doesーas already whole, already worthy, and deeply loved? You were made with intention, with gifts that are easy for you but difficult for others. This book will help you recognize those gifts and live into who you were created to be.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In this concise, eye-opening guide, Dr. Speer explores how to overcome fear and anxiety, release emotional pain, and tap into your natural intuition. He introduces the concept of “electric psychology”ーa method of energetically releasing negative emotionsーand offers practical tools, exercises, and “Smart-Pills” for transforming your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Drawing from decades of experience in naturopathy, Dr. Speer also shares insights into how minerals, supplements, and natural health strategies can support your healing. Most of all, he shows how Loveーnot sentiment, but a real energetic forceーcan help not only you, but the world around you.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Whether you read it once or many times, this book offers a pathway toward personal freedom and global compassion.＜/p＞ ＜p＞About the Author＜/p＞ ＜p＞David G. Speer, PhD, is a master reflexologist, experienced energy healer, educator, and ordained non-denominational minister. He has studied and practiced holistic healingーspirit, thoughts, emotions, and bodyーfor over forty years, integrating current scientific knowledge with the spiritual principles of world religions.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Reflexology is one of David’s deepest passions and areas of expertise. By listening closely and applying pressure to specific points on the hands and feet, he can often detect and resolve imbalances in the body. He holds a PhD in naturopathy and a BS in mathematics, and is certified in electro-psychometrics and as a Level 9 Advanced Practitioner in Phoenix Vibrational Healing. He is also a master Reiki practitioner and has studied under masters in ortho-bionomy and neuro-linguistic programming.＜/p＞ ＜p＞David previously served as president of the Hypnotism Society of Pennsylvania and has worked as an intuitive counselor and speaker, including platform readings at the local Spiritualist Church.

タイトル: Philosopher of Palo Alto: Mark Weiser, Xerox Parc, and the Original Internet of Things著者: John Tinnell出版社: University of Chicago Press出版日: 2023年05月25日古本ほぼ新品。傷みが少なく、しっかりと製本された、優れた、マークのないコピーです。リサイクル可能なアメリカ製の封筒で発送します。すべての注文に 100% 返金保証付き。A compelling biography of Mark Weiser, a pioneering innovator whose legacy looms over the tech industry's quest to connect everything--and who hoped for something better. When developers and critics trace the roots of today's Internet of Things--our smart gadgets and smart cities--they may single out the same creative source: Mark Weiser (1952-99), the first chief technology officer at Xerox PARC and the so-called "father of ubiquitous computing." But Weiser, who died young at age 46 in 1999, would be heartbroken if he had lived to see the ways we use technology today. As John Tinnell shows in this thought-provoking narrative, Weiser was an outlier in Silicon Valley. A computer scientist whose first love was philosophy, he relished debates about the machine's ultimate purpose. Good technology, Weiser argued, should not mine our experiences for saleable data or demand our attention; rather, it should quietly boost our intuition as we move through the world. Informed by deep archival research and interviews with Weiser's family and colleagues, The Philosopher of Palo Alto chronicles Weiser's struggle to initiate a new era of computing. Working in the shadows of the dot-com boom, Weiser and his collaborators made Xerox PARC headquarters the site of a grand experiment. Throughout the building, they embedded software into all sorts of objects--coffeepots, pens, energy systems, ID badges--imbuing them with interactive features. Their push to integrate the digital and the physical soon caught on. Microsoft's Bill Gates flagged Weiser's Scientific American article "The Computer for the 21st Century" as a must-read. Yet, as more tech leaders warmed to his vision, Weiser grew alarmed about where they wished to take it. In this fascinating story of an innovator and a big idea, Tinnell crafts a poignant and critical history of today's Internet of Things. At the heart of the narrative is Weiser's desire for deeper connection, which animated his life and inspired his notion of what technology at its best could be.

When Sy Montgomery went to spend a day at falconer Nancy Cowan's farm, home to a dozen magnificent birds of prey, it was the start of a deep love affair. Nancy allowed her to work with Jazz, a feisty, four-year-old, female Harris's hawk with a wingspan of more than four feet. Not a pet, Jazz was a fierce predator with talons that could pierce skin and bone and yet, she was willing to work with a human to hunt. From the first moment Jazz swept down from a tree and landed on Sy's leather gloved fist, Sy fell under the hawk's magnetic spell. Over the next few years, Sy spent more time with these magnificent creatures, getting to know their extraordinary abilities and instincts. They are deeply emotional animals, quick to show anger and frustration, and can hold a grudge for years. But they are also loyal and intensely aware of their surroundings. In this mesmerizing account, featuring sixteen pages of gorgeous color photographs, Sy passionately and vividly reveals the wonderous world of hawks and what they can teach us about nature, life, and love.

As he was out walking, he came upon a woodchuck sleeping at the base of an oak tree. In a gesture that speaks eloquently of Kline's relationship with the natural world, he reached over and scratched the animal with his walking stick. Rather than being startled, the sleeping creature arched its back with pleasure at the attention. Kline's writings ring with reverence, knowledge, and a joyful spirit, and to accompany him as he explores the fields, creeks, and woods around his farm is to share his connection with the earth. In both his writing and his work, he embodies a love of nature and a unity with our fellow creatures while offering a testimony to sustainable farming and living as a true steward of the land.

Wilson has distilled sixty years of teaching into a book for students, young and old. Reflecting on his coming-of-age in the South as a Boy Scout and a lover of ants and butterflies, Wilson threads these twenty-one letters, each richly illustrated, with autobiographical anecdotes that illuminate his career--both his successes and his failures--and his motivations for becoming a biologist. At a time in human history when our survival is more than ever linked to our understanding of science, Wilson insists that success in the sciences does not depend on mathematical skill, but rather a passion for finding a problem and solving it. From the collapse of stars to the exploration of rain forests and the oceans' depths, Wilson instills a love of the innate creativity of science and a respect for the human being's modest place in the planet's ecosystem in his readers.

＜p＞Newman begins as a frightened, injured stray discovered under a streetlamp after a hit-and-run.

Through small victories-balancing, exploring, and cuddling-Newman's gentle spirit blossoms. This tender, true-to-life tale celebrates empathy, inclusion, and second chances, reminding children that bodies can be "beautifully enabled," and that kindness transforms fear into hope, belonging, and joyful, forever-family love every day.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Forceful, engaging and funny . . . This book will make you happy to live on this planet -- a good thing, because you're not leaving anytime soon." --New York Times Book Review From the bestselling authors of Soonish, a brilliant and hilarious off-world investigation into space settlement EARTH IS NOT WELL. The promise of starting life anew somewhere far, far away--no climate change, no war, no doomscrolling--beckons, and settling the stars finally seems within our grasp. Or is it? Critically acclaimed, bestselling authors Kelly and Zach Weinersmith set out to write the essential guide to a glorious future of space settlements, but after years of research, they aren't so sure it's a good idea. Space technologies and space businesses are progressing fast, but we lack the knowledge needed to have space kids, build space farms, and create space nations in a way that doesn't spark conflict back home. In a world hurtling toward human expansion into space, A City on Mars investigates whether the dream of new worlds won't create nightmares, both for settlers and the people they leave behind. In the process, the Weinersmiths answer every question about space you've ever wondered about, and many you've never considered: Can you make babies in space? Should corporations govern space settlements? What about space war? Are we headed for a housing crisis on the Moon's Peaks of Eternal Light--and what happens if you're left in the Craters of Eternal Darkness? Why do astronauts love taco sauce? Speaking of meals, what's the legal status of space cannibalism? With deep expertise, a winning sense of humor, and art from the beloved creator of Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, the Weinersmiths investigate perhaps the biggest questions humanity will ever ask itself--whether and how to become multiplanetary. Get in, we're going to Mars.

＜p＞Do you want to be successful? Then become evil. Haven't you realized the evil rule the world? You must sell your soul to the Devil to get on in life. Or you must attend the Devil's school. Come along to the Narcissists' Academy, the School of Evil. The most evil people in the world ? even worse than psychopaths and sociopaths ? are the malignant narcissists. These are your favorite people! They are the brightest Hollywood stars, the most luminous models and singers, the most popular influencers ? you know, all the people you obsess over and want to be. You didn't imagine that the Antichrist would present himself as anything other than Christ, did you? The Antichrist is as Woke as it gets, preaching maximum tolerance, love and light, unconditional love, absolute self-expression, diversity, exoticism, extreme liberalism, and all the rest of it. The Antichrist poses as a guru, healer, fixer, savior, Ascended Master, messiah … everything you've been looking for all your life! The Antichrist postures as Mr Right, Prince Charming, the Knight in Shining Armor, the supreme heartthrob. He is handsome, charming, kind, considerate, compassionate, empathic. He ticks every box. People are wowed by him. Some instantly fall in love with him. They're spellbound, transfixed, enraptured entranced. They tell everyone they meet how wonderful this man is. Well, what did you expect? For the Antichrist to be sulfurous, repulsive, to have scaly skin and horns, and constantly cackle? He's the opposite of that. He's exactly what you would expect Christ to be. That's the whole point. The wolf always comes in sheep's clothing ? that's why you can't see him coming until it's too late. Where did the Antichrist learn to fool everyone? He attended the Narcissists' Academy, of course. He was the star student, a veritable Plato of Evil. And you too can be just as successful. All you need to do is learn all the tricks used by malignant narcissists. These are the world experts in fooling you, conning, you, grifting from you. They always blindside you. They know every button to press to seduce you and control you. They have spent their whole lives learning how to get you to be instantly smitten by them. Nietzsche said, "Success has always been the greatest liar." The greatest lies are the basis of the greatest success, and the greatest liars ? compulsive liars who can never stop lying to others ? are the malignant narcissists. Come to our Academy and learn the truth.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Runmakers A New Way to Rate Baseball Players【電子書籍】[ Frederick E. Taylor ]

＜p＞Statistics are the lifeblood of baseball. Managers pore over batting averages to determine game day lineups and batting orders; high number of runs batted in and low earned run averages receive praise from the press, higher salaries from the front office, and love from fans; and the fate of fantasy baseball players rises and falls with each statistical change. The prominence of the RC/27 and other more complex, formula-driven stats has made numbers even more important to understanding and appreciating the game. For all these baseball buffs and more, Frederick E. Taylor provides a new measure of hitting prowess that just might be a game changer.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Taylor's potential runs per game (PRG) measure accounts for batters getting on base, advancing runners, and driving in runs, and it separates leadoff and second batters from those in the middle of the order. Taylor introduces the measure, explains how it works, and applies it to players past and present. He breaks the history of major league baseball into eight eras based on differences in runs scored per game. He systematicallyーplayer-by-player and position-by-positionーcompares the results of the PRG measure to those drawn from other statistics, such as on-base percentage and slugging average. Taylor shows that PRG is more accurate and that career clutch hitting is a myth.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Sabermetricians, baseball fans of all stripes, and anyone who earns a living from the sport will find a wealth of information and a whole new set of stats to obsess over in ＜em＞The Runmakers＜/em＞. Measuring baseball will never be the same.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Dear God, Why Cant I Have a Baby? provides women and "couples-in-waiting" with tools, direction, guidance, hope, and encouragement not to lose faith in God, or in each other, as they strive to share their love with a child.Rachel's cry of barrenness in Genesis 31:1,"Give me children, or I'll die!" is a wail that still echoes around the world, as one in six couples experience infertility. Infertility statistics are staggering: nearly 6.1 million women and 2.1 million married couples in the United States will experience difficulty having a child.Onlookers, and sadly even churches, often treat these "empty arms" couples with indifference, platitudes, criticism, or minimize the pain of miscarriages and stillborn babies. Couples struggling with infertility say they often feel alone and ostracized in their own churches and families. As a result, many infertile couples grow desperate, and some like Rachel, even feel suicidal when denied the one dream they have had since childhoodーhaving a baby.This book seeks to ease readers' pain and accompany them on their infertility journey by offering: companionship, a place to cry, a way to journal and keep records, and most importantly, the strengthening of their faith in God.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Every invention begins as a daydreamーand some dreams are too strange to ever become real. Machines of the Mind is a joyful exploration of the imaginary devices that never made it off the drafting table, from 19th-century flying umbrellas to quantum coffee makers that existed only on paper. Yet behind each impossible design lies a story of real science, failed genius, and unexpected inspiration. This beautifully written book reveals how fantasy and engineering have always worked hand in hand. Long before AI, robotics, or virtual reality, inventors imagined machines that could think, heal, and even loveーand their "unbuildable" ideas quietly shaped the technologies we use today.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

古本, ノンフィクション, 英語で予約する, 洋書【古本】 Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art - James Nestor (Riverhead Books) 【紙書籍】 9780735213616

タイトル: Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art著者: James Nestor出版社: Riverhead Books出版日: 2020年05月26日古本ほぼ新品。傷みが少なく、しっかりと製本された、優れた、マークのないコピーです。リサイクル可能なアメリカ製の封筒で発送します。すべての注文に 100% 返金保証付き。A New York Times Bestseller A Washington Post Notable Nonfiction Book of 2020 Named a Best Book of 2020 by NPR "A fascinating scientific, cultural, spiritual and evolutionary history of the way humans breathe--and how we've all been doing it wrong for a long, long time." --Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Big Magic and Eat Pray Love No matter what you eat, how much you exercise, how skinny or young or wise you are, none of it matters if you're not breathing properly. There is nothing more essential to our health and well-being than breathing: take air in, let it out, repeat twenty-five thousand times a day. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences. Journalist James Nestor travels the world to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. The answers aren't found in pulmonology labs, as we might expect, but in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of São Paulo. Nestor tracks down men and women exploring the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices like Pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya, and Tummo and teams up with pulmonary tinkerers to scientifically test long-held beliefs about how we breathe. Modern research is showing us that making even slight adjustments to the way we inhale and exhale can jump-start athletic performance; rejuvenate internal organs; halt snoring, asthma, and autoimmune disease; and even straighten scoliotic spines. None of this should be possible, and yet it is. Drawing on thousands of years of medical texts and recent cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry, and human physiology, Breath turns the conventional wisdom of what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head. You will never breathe the same again.

古本, 英語で予約する, 洋書【古本】 We Loved It All: A Memory of Life - Lydia Millet (W. W. Norton & Company) 【紙書籍】 9781324073659

タイトル: We Loved It All: A Memory of Life著者: Lydia Millet出版社: W. W. Norton & Company出版日: 2024年04月02日古本ほぼ新品。傷みが少なく、しっかりと製本された、優れた、マークのないコピーです。リサイクル可能なアメリカ製の封筒で発送します。すべての注文に 100% 返金保証付き。Across more than a dozen acclaimed works of fiction, readers have become intimate with Lydia Millet's distinctive voice and sly wit. We Loved It All, her first nonfiction book, combines the precision of fact with the power of narrative to evoke our enmeshment with the more-than-human world.Emerging from Millet's quarter century of wildlife and climate advocacy, We Loved it All marries scenes from her life with moments of nearness to "the others"-- the animals and plants with whom we share the earth. Accounts of fears and failures, jobs and friendships, childhood and motherhood are interspersed with exquisite accounts of nonhumans and arresting meditations on the power of story to shape the future.Seeking to understand why we immerse ourselves in the domestic and immediate, turning away from more sweeping views, she examines how grand cultural myths can deny our longing for the company of nature and deprive us of its charisma and inspiration. In a thrilling distillation of experience and emotion, she evinces the familiar sense of feeling both well-meaning and powerless--a creature subject to forces that are baffling in their immensity. The fear and grief of extinction and climate change, Millet suggests, are forms of love that might be turned to resistance. We Loved It All shimmers with curiosity and laconic humor yet addresses with reverence the most urgent crises of our day. An incantatory, bewitching devotional to the vast and precious bestiary of the earth, it asks that we extend to other living beings the protection they deserve--the simple grace of continued existence.

＜p＞When you or someone you love is diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer, or any stage of cancer for that matter, it's downright frightening. Starting your journey with unanswered questions makes the situation even more difficult. After you've had time to process the dreadful news, the difficulty of your situation is magnified by the lack of basic knowledge on where to begin. "People Need Hope" is written for those folks, like Todd St John who found himself in this same predicament in November 2017. In "People Need Hope", Todd St John shares his personal journey of being a Stage 4 cancer patient and everything he encountered on the topic of cancer, including FDA and non-FDA therapies. His ideas, suggestions, perspectives, and personal experiences may provide readers with answers to present and future questions amidst their diagnosis and treatment. Todd wrote from his own personal experience in the hope of giving readers some comfort from the knowledge of what may lie ahead. As you read through this book, at times you will feel like you are reading a personal essay of Todd's experiences and at other times you will feel like you are reading a science book. You will hear an intimate description of what Todd encountered from his first diagnosis up through today. Today he is cancer free or as the oncologists prefer to call this "No Evidence of Disease". You should walk away with a good foundational explanation of the various naturopathic therapies in which Todd investigated in his desire to be cancer free. Todd put this book together in a way that he could not find himself in a single book about cancer. Most books he found strictly covered one topic in detail and other cancer books were largely only from the personal perspective of the cancer patient. What Todd could not find was a book as he captured here for you. Todd's wish is that his book will give you hope. People Need Hope will inform you: ? What you can most likely expect when you are first diagnosed with cancer ? What Todd wished he had known when first diagnosed Stage 4 ? Suggestions, perspectives, and personal experiences from Todd's cancer diagnosis ? The world of oncology, FDA-approved treatments and the cost of pharmaceuticals ? The reality of cancer and chemotherapy statistics ? Melanoma in-depth details for the melanoma patients reading this book ? Character traits of and the importance of being your own patient advocate ? Let food be your medicine - nutrition, naturopath and an integrative medicine practitioner ? Todd's 3-month "Target Cancer Diet" and his diet today using an orthomolecular medicine-like approach as his prophylactic measure against cancer ? Healthy food choices, Budwig diet, Gerson therapy and diet, Mediterranean diet, juicing and fasting ? Supplements and supplement usages ? Cannabis, medical marijuana and cancer ? answering the questions "What is Rick Simpson Oil (RSO)? What is hemp? What kinds of marijuana are out there?
