      The wristwatch is the only jewellery that most men will wear, although many would not want to call it that. A watch may be a practical device for the sole purpose of telling the time as accurately as possible, a complicated machine, a wearable design object, or a status symbol. Some watch wearers, like scuba divers or pilots, rely on their timepieces for safety and survival. Gene Stone's The Watch covers all these things and more. It ranges over the world of watches without prejudice, mixing the old with the new, and the expensive with the economical. It introduces the fifty major brands that any watch collector must be familiar with. Essential wisdom on buying, collecting, maintaining and wearing watches is provided. And an encyclopedic glossary offers a crash course in watch lore. Best of all are the more than 500 photographs of terrific watches, including remarkable details of dials and movements, and selected for their beauty and diversity from collections around the world.

      Better sex, glowing skin, and more money…by going vegan Did you know that if you adopt a vegan diet you can enjoy better sex? Save money? Have glowing skin? You can ward off Alzheimer’s, Type 2 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and other metabolic diseases. You can eat delicious burgers. Help save the planet. Join the cool kids, like Gandhi, Tolstoy, Leonardo—and Kyrie Irving, Kat Von D, and Joaquin Phoenix. Oh, and did we mention have better sex? (It’s about blood flow.) Those are just some of the 72 reasons we should all be vegan, as compiled and persuasively argued by Gene Stone and Kathy Freston, two of the leading voices in the ever-growing movement to eat a plant-based diet. While plenty of books tell you how to go vegan, 72 Reasons to Be Vegan is the book that tells you why. And it does so in a way that emphasizes not what you’d be giving up, but what you’d be gaining. "Bestselling vegan activist Kathy Freston and the movement’s best chronicler, Gene Stone, team up to give us 72 reasons to go plant based (and better sex is just one of them!) A must-read for anyone concerned about the future of our planet, their own health, or the moral ramifications of meat-eating.” —Dan Buettner, National Geographic Fellow and author of The Blue Zones

      National Bestseller Don’t despair. Don’t retreat. Fight back. The stunning election of Donald J. Trump rocked an already divided America and left scores of citizens, including the nearly sixty-five million voters who supported Hillary Clinton, feeling bereft and powerless. Now, Gene Stone, author of The Bush Survival Bible, offers invaluable guidance and concrete solutions they can use to make a difference in this serious call-to-arms—showing them how to move from anger and despair to activism as the Trump presidency is in full swing and he signs one executive order after another. Before we can successfully engage, we need to be clear about the battles ahead. Stone outlines political and social concepts—including such issues as Civil Rights, Women’s Rights, the Environment, Obamacare, International relations, and LGBTQ Rights—providing a brief history of each, a refresher on Obama's policies, and an analysis of what Trump’s administration might do. Stone then provides an invaluable guide for fighting back—referring to organizations, people, sites, and countless other resources that support positive and possible goals. While marches and social media are important forms of protest, concrete actions achieve real change. Positive and reinforcing, The Trump Survival Guide presents the essential information we need to effectively make our voices heard and our power felt.

      Gesund durch Ernährung auf pflanzlicher Grundlage

      International renommierte Ernährungswissenschaftler und Mediziner lassen Fakten sprechen, die von Regierungen, Lobby Gruppen und Medien immer noch ignoriert werden: Die epidemische Verbreitung von Herz-Kreislauf Erkrankungen, Diabetes und Krebs ist das Ergebnis zunehmender Fehlernährung! Und die Experten weisen den Weg zu unverwüstlicher Gesundheit: mit einer ausgewogenen Vollwerternährung auf pflanzlicher Basis. Müssen wir alles vergessen, was wir bisher über Ernährung gehört haben? Ja, sagen die Experten hinter Gabel statt Skalpell. Als unabhängige Wissenschaftler sehen sie keinen Grund, auf die Interessen jener Gruppen Rücksicht zu nehmen, die für den Niedergang der Volksgesundheit in den Industrienationen verantwortlich sind – und die daran auch noch Milliarden verdienen. Und sie treten den Beweis dafür an, dass durch eine simple und kostengünstige Maßnahme die Schäden an Gesundheit und Umwelt rückgängig gemacht werden können: die Umstellung unseres Speiseplans auf eine Vollwerternährung, frei von tierischem Eiweiß. Wie das funktioniert, zeigt dieses Praxisbuch: - Tipps zu Einkauf, Lagerung und Verarbeitung gesunder Lebensmittel - Ernährungsplan für Menschen, die schlank, fit und gesund bleiben bzw. werden wollen - Rezepte, die das Wasser im Munde zusammenlaufen lassen
