The End of Alzheimer's: The Brain and Beyond, Second Edition is the first comprehensive overview on the molecular basis of Alzheimer's (read more)

The End of Alzheimer's: The Brain and Beyond, Second Edition is the first comprehensive overview on the molecular basis of Alzheimer's outside of the brain, merging the most recent findings within the field into a single book. It aims to educate the reader on the many overlooked aspects of Alzheimer's disease that occur outside the brain. This book uniquely provides step-by-step, peer-reviewed evidence that the current research model may be misguided and that a new and emerging model is more accurate.

It carefully outlines the molecular research in Alzheimer's outside the brain and argues that a more thorough, whole-body diagnosis will provide better answers about its causes and lead to new treatments. It is beneficial to researchers who need to be apprised of the emerging science on the causes of Alzheimer's, and will hopefully redirect many into new avenues of cellular research and discovery.

This book will give you the knowledge and confidence to creat complete meals for every time of day and occasion - quickly. It will also teach you how to bake great cakes and breads, and make simple snacks and side dishes. Many meals are complete in their own right or have different elements that can be cooked one after the other (food needs to 'rest' before serving so this is quite possible and still keeep it all hot.).

But it can be used alongside your conventional hob. You may, for instance, want to quickly boil some rice or pasta to accompany a delicious meat, fish, chicken or vegetable main course in the combi. You can also use ti as a conventional microwave, grill or convection oven. (hide)

This is the follow up to the award-winning bestselling Kids Kitchen (also published by Grub Street with UK sales of over 70,000 copies) with 100 new recipes for delicious savoury dishes and delightful sweet treats, specially developed and written for children. All the unique elements that made Kids Kitchen such a hit are here in this new collection of recipes - no sharp knives are used, no hob-top cooking, all the recipes have been tested by children themselves and every recipe is photographed.

Nor does the book ignore the growing number of children with gluten intolerances and coeliac disease - many of the recipes are completely gluten-free. There are recipes that will easily form part of a family meal such as Cashew Couscous, Up-Side Down Baked Potatoes, Coconut-Curry Kookoo Chicken and Every-Flavour Pork Chops. Healthy snacks like Fin-Tastic Fish Fillets, Really Big Chicken Meatballs and Parmesan Puffs. (hide)

Recent studies have shown that 800 calories is the magic number when it comes to successful dieting - it's an amount high enough to be manageable but low enough to speed weight loss and trigger a range of desirable metabolic changes.
