More often than not, the content ends up being garbage because this is the fitness industry. But because of my reputation, people end up sending me tons of fitness content and asking for my opinion on the information itself along with any claims. As I said, this isn’t what I go out looking for. When I say ‘misinformation,’ I mean information that directly contradicts the overwhelming body of evidence and then being packaged and sold as truth. I’m not talking about differences in preference based on a few cherry-picked studies. When I say ‘misinformation,’ I’m not talking about a difference of opinion. That said, I feel it’s essential to call out misinformation when it occurs because it always harms people, no matter how noble the INTENTIONS are. Typically, the return on investment yields quite a bit of hate and nasty comments. Despite all appearances, I do not set out to find people to debunk or call out. Over the years, I’ve become known as the guy who debunks fitness dogma and nonsense.

5/24/2023 0 Comments Moon Lord by J.P. ReedmanIn STONE LORD, we have a young “Arthur”-Ardhu the Stone Lord, rising from obscurity under the tutelage of the shaman known as the Merlin, high priest of the temple of Khor Ghor (Stonehenge) and driving back sea-raiders seeking to steal the precious British tin. So STONE LORD became book one of a two-part series, with MOON LORD the sequel (although a standalone book in its own right). Instead, little known, archaic versions of the legends leapt out at me from mouldering tomes, screaming to be included, and relevant archaeological finds seemed turned up in the landscape almost daily …and so the tale grew in the telling. When I first began weaving tales of a Bronze Age King Arthur, I thought it might be difficult to fill a whole novel with this subject. (Here’s her earlier interview and my review of Stone Lord.) Her new novel, Moon Lord, is now available on Amazon.

The book is about the social facilitation of alcohol, but is also a cautionary tale about the addictive powers of alcohol and its deleterious effects on health. Key stages are his late teen years when he earned money as a sailor and later in life when he was a wealthy, successful writer.Īlcohol plays a big role in facilitating the themes listed above. London discusses various life experiences he has had with alcohol, and at widely different stages in his life. The novel's themes include masculinity and male friendship. But they’re slightly different, like New England once removed, a kind of first cousin. Their topography and their ecology are reminiscent of the Green and White Mountains. To a New Englander, there’s something comfortingly familiar about the Chic Chocs. Simply put, the region’s Chic Chocs Mountains-an extension of the Appalachian chain-represent one of the most stunning alpine landscapes in eastern North America. Such is my relationship with Quebec’s Gaspesie, a mere stone’s throw (globally speaking) from the Green Mountain State’s borders. But sometimes, a landscape grabs you and calls you to return. Not because there’s anything inherently wrong with them, but rather because there are simply too many other places to see in the world. Some landscapes you visit just once in your life.

In "Crime Family," Keefe profiles Astrid Holleeder, a Dutch woman who's "an exile in her own city" of Amsterdam. It's an excellent collection of Keefe's detective work, and a fine introduction to his illuminating writing. The articles "reflect some of my abiding preoccupations: crime and corruption, secrets and lies, the permeable membrane separating licit and illicit worlds, the bonds of family, the power of denial," Keefe writes in a preface to the book. Rogues collects a dozen of Keefe's reported pieces for The New Yorker, the magazine he's been writing for since 2006. An investigative reporter, he's made his career out of detective stories, and his last two books - Say Nothing, about the Northern Ireland conflict, and Empire of Pain, about the Sackler family and the drug Ox圜ontin - won critical acclaim for his thoughtful deep dives into complex subjects. You get the feeling that Keefe can relate. Then he adds: "Also, it's a fun detective story." If he got cheated, he tells Keefe, he wants whoever is responsible to pay. In the first essay in Rogues, the new collection from journalist Patrick Radden Keefe, a wine collector is explaining why he's determined to find out the truth about the possibly counterfeit bottles he bought years before. 5/24/2023 0 Comments March book threeThe only hope for lasting change is to give voice to the millions of Americans silenced by voter suppression: "One Man, One Vote."

Welcome to the stunning conclusion of the award-winning and best-selling MARCH trilogy. 5/23/2023 0 Comments Rationally irrational bookA theory of bounded rationality is key to understand how people make decisions given constraints of time, knowledge, and computational capacities, without resorting to utility maximisation (Simon 1983, Kahneman 2003). Rather, bounded rationality is an overarching theme in human cognition. The development of a theory of bounded rationality is one of the most important tasks in economics, but is not limited to it. In his book, “Predictably irrational” (2008), Dan Ariely criticises the conventional, standard economic theory and its view of human beings as rational agents, arguing that humans are not just irrational in decision making, but are rather predictably irrational.

The histories of early North America and the Caribbean are intimately intertwined. |
