The doper next door : my strange and scandalous year on performance enhancing drugs / by Tilin, Andrew.(CARDINAL)502368;
"What happens to a regular guy who dopes? Surprised to learn that pro athletes aren't the only ones taking performance-enhancing substances, journalist Andrew Tilin goes in search of the average juicing Joe, hoping to find a few things out: Why would normal people take these substances? Where do folks get them? Does the stuff really work? But these controversial drugs often silence their users, and so his queries might have gone unanswered had Tilin not looked in the mirror and succumbed to curiosity. Soon wielding syringes, this forty-something husband and father of two children becomes the doper next door. During his yearlong odyssey, Tilin is transformed. He becomes stronger, hornier, and aggressive. He wades into a subculture of doping physicians, real estate agents, and aging women who believe that Tilin's type of legal "hormone replacement therapy" is the key to staying young--and he often agrees. He also lives with the price paid for renewed vitality, worrying about his health, marriage, and cheating ways as an amateur bike racer. And all along the way, he tells us what doping is really like--empowering and scary. "--Traces how the author, a married journalist and father of two children, conducted a year-long experiment with performance-enhancing hormone drugs, a journey during which he became familiar with their subculture, benefits, and consequences.5NjBwBT

How to be a conscious eater : making food choices that are good for you, others, and the planet / by Egan, Sophie,author.(CARDINAL)412457; Gottlieb, Iris,illustrator.(CARDINAL)803119;
Is organic really worth it? Are eggs ok to eat? If so, which ones are best for you, and for the chicken-Cage-Free, Free-Range, Pasture-Raised? What about farmed salmon, soy milk, sugar, gluten, fermented foods, coconut oil, almonds? Thumbs-up, thumbs-down, or somewhere in between? Using three criteria-Is it good for me? Is it good for others? Is it good for the planet?-Sophie Egan helps us navigate the bewildering world of food so that we can all become conscious eaters. To eat consciously is not about diets, fads, or hard-and-fast rules. It's about having straightforward, accurate information to make smart, thoughtful choices amid the chaos of conflicting news and marketing hype. An expert on food's impact on human and environmental health, Egan organizes the book into four categories-stuff that comes from the ground, stuff that comes from animals, stuff that comes from factories, and stuff that's made in restaurant kitchens. This practical guide offers bottom-line answers to your most top-of-mind questions about what to eat.

Includes bibliographical references and index.Why family story? -- How to tell a good story -- The stuff -- Puzzle pieces -- The value of things -- Format -- True and good -- Before you write -- Conclusion -- Family story worksheet."Genealogy is about solving puzzles. Who is related to whom? Who was my immigrant ancestor? How far back in time can I go? Do I have a famous ancestor? And so on. Family history is different. If you want others to learn about where you and they came from, you must command their attention. As Doug Tattershall states in the Introduction to his new book, 'We work hard to discover our family tree. But what we [and the people we are writing for] really want to know is our family story.' So, how does a genealogist transition to family history? You will find the answers here. In fewer than one hundred pages, Doug shows how to start and stay on track in transforming the skeletal outline of a genealogy into an engaging family story"--Page 4 of cover.
