      • 13 hours of reading

      Nel 2005 T. Colin Campbell e Thomas Campbell hanno scritto "The China study". In quel libro sono contenute ricerche che hanno dimostrato che un'alimentazione a base vegetale e integrale previene molte malattie croniche e le fa addirittura regredire, oltre a riequilibrare il peso. Questo nuovo libro di Thomas Campbell va oltre la teoria e spiega ai lettori come applicarla, con un programma pratico di due settimane che trasformerà la vostra alimentazione nella più sana e gustosa possibile. Un libro che risponde a domande quali: la soia è salutare? Bisogna evitare il glutine? Meglio il biologico? Bisogna mangiare il pesce? Come nutrire i bambini? Il piano è completo di lista della spesa, suggerimenti su come organizzare cucina e dispensa, come affrontare i pasti al ristorante o da amici, menu e 55 ricette. Prefazione di T. Colin Cambell.

    • Nora è la tipica ragazza della porta accanto: molto carina, seria, studiosa. Patch è il classico cattivo ragazzo, strafottente, complicato e decisamente affascinante. Lei non sa perché lui la attragga tanto, in fondo non è il suo tipo. Lui invece sa benissimo perché inizia a corteggiarla, ed è un motivo oscuro e inquietante, legato a un passato talmente spaventoso da risultare semplicemente inconfessabile. Patch non ha dubbi su quello che è giusto o sbagliato quando si avvicina a Nora, eppure lo fa. Se vuole restare su questa Terra, dovrà rubarle la vita, letteralmente. Invece, sarà lei a farlo. Perché la passione può attraversare i secoli e trascendere la comprensione, perché l'amore può davvero cambiare le persone, rendendole invincibili e... immortali. Questa è la saga che ha contribuito a creare il genere letterario che non ha ancora smesso di affascinare le lettrici. Finalmente riuniti, ecco i quattro romanzi che hanno raccontato - in un crescendo di suspense e colpi di scena - l'irresistibile storia d'amore fra Nora e Patch, fra esseri umani e angeli caduti, fondendo thriller e romance...

      La guerra fra Nephilim e angeli caduti, nutrita dall'odio e dal disprezzo, rischia di uscire dai confini entro cui era stata confinata per travolgere gli esseri umani. Le incomprensioni fra Nora e Patch sono finite, anche se per i due giovani amanti le prove si fanno sempre più difficili. È arrivato il momento che a lungo hanno cercato di rimandare, quello in cui è necessario affrontare i segreti nascosti nell'oscuro passato di Patch, ricongiungere due mondi inconciliabili, decidere se cedere al tradimento oppure alla fiducia. E il tutto in nome di un amore che trascende i confini fra cielo e terra. Armati solo della propria fede l'uno nell'altra, la ragazza e il suo angelo custode sono chiamati a una sfida disperata: la battaglia contro ciò che ha il potere di distruggere tutto quello per cui hanno lottato.

      In the twelfth novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Kathy Reichs, forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan finds herself buried alive after being accused of mishandling the autopsy of a Canadian heiress. There are 206 bones in the human body. Forensic anthropologists know them intimately, and can use them to recreate every kind of violent end. Tempe wakes up to discover that she is enclosed in a kind of very small, very dark, very cold space. She is bound, hands to feet, and there’s something wrong with her ankle. Unsure of where she is, Tempe slowly begins to work out what has happened… When the body of a missing heiress was discovered, Temperance Brennan and Lieutenant Ryan accompanied the remains from Montreal to the Chicago morgue. Their trip was soon interrupted when an incriminating phone call accused Tempe of mishandling the autopsy—and the case. But before Tempe could face her accuser, the one man with information about the call died, and Tempe was left in the dark. As the facts slowly slot into place, Tempe wonders who wants her dead, or at least out of the way, and why? Pulse-pounding, electrifying, and seamlessly weaving between past and present, 206 Bones describes the incredible devastation that occurs when forensic evidence is sabotaged in the lab.

      In a house under renovation, a plumber uncovers a cellar no one knew about, and makes a rather grisly discovery — a decapitated chicken, animal bones, and cauldrons containing beads, feathers, and other relics of religious ceremonies. In the center of the shrine is the skull of a teenage girl. Meanwhile, on a nearby lakeshore, the headless body of a teenage boy is found by a man walking his dog. Led by a preacher turned politician, citizen vigilantes blame devil worshippers and Wiccans and begin a witch hunt, intent on seeking revenge. Forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan — “five-five, feisty, and forty-plus” — is called in to investigate, and a complex and gripping tale unfolds in this deadly mix of voodoo, Santería, and devil worship.
