Описание: Among many legendary episodes from the life and career of men's basketball coach Dean Smith, few loom as large as his recruitment of Charlie Scott, the first African American scholarship athlete at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Drawn together by college basketball in a time of momentous change, Smith and Scott helped transform a university, a community, and the racial landscape of sports in the South. But there is much more to this story than is commonly told. In Game Changers, Art Chansky reveals an intense saga of race, college sport, and small-town politics. At the center were two young men, Scott and Smith, both destined for greatness but struggling through challenges on and off the court, among them the storms of civil rights protest and the painfully slow integration of a Chapel Hill far less progressive than its reputation today might suggest.
Drawing on extensive personal interviews and a variety of other sources, Chansky takes readers beyond the basketball court to highlight the community that supported Smith and Scott during these demanding years, from assistant basketball coach John Lotz to influential pastor the Reverend Robert Seymour to pioneering African American mayor Howard Lee. Dispelling many myths that surround this period, Chansky nevertheless offers an ultimately triumphant portrait of a student-athlete and coach who ensured the University of North Carolina would never be the same.

In 1978, Donald Sidney-Fryer published the first full-scale bibliography of Clark Ashton Smith, Emperor of Dreams. In the more than forty years since that book's appearance, the publication and study of Smith's work have increased exponentially, and a new, more exhaustive bibliography is long overdue. The three compilers of this volume, all leading authorities on Smith, have now achieved this monumental feat.
Smith created a sensation when he published The Star-Treader and Other Poems (1912) at the age of 19. He issued several other poetry collections before moving on to writing tales of horror, fantasy, and science fiction for a wide variety of pulp magazines. He later resumed the writing of poetry, publishing numerous poems in English, French, and Spanish in little magazines, while his stories appeared in several volumes issued by Arkham House.
This volume details the totality of Smith's writings, from rare pamphlets to all his appearances in magazines to translations of his work into a dozen or more languages. It also chronicles the burgeoning field of Smith criticism, from books and pamphlets about Smith to newspaper articles from local papers to analyses in academic journals. A section on adaptations of Smith's work into various media--films, television shows, comic books, musical settings, and spoken-word recordings--is also included.
This volume is an essential work for any devotee or scholar of Clark Ashton Smith, charting the widespread dissemination of his tales, poems, and other writings throughout the world.

On an Empty Stomach examines the practical techniques humanitarians have used to manage and measure starvation, from Victorian "scientific" soup kitchens to space-age, high-protein foods. Tracing the evolution of these techniques since the start of the nineteenth century, Tom Scott-Smith argues that humanitarianism is not a simple story of progress and improvement, but rather is profoundly shaped by sociopolitical conditions. Aid is often presented as an apolitical and technical project, but the way humanitarians conceive and tackle human needs has always been deeply influenced by culture, politics, and society. Txhese influences extend down to the most detailed mechanisms for measuring malnutrition and providing sustenance.
As Scott-Smith shows, over the past century, the humanitarian approach to hunger has redefined food as nutrients and hunger as a medical condition. Aid has become more individualized, medicalized, and rationalized, shaped by modernism in bureaucracy, commerce, and food technology. On an Empty Stomach focuses on the gains and losses that result, examining the complex compromises that arise between efficiency of distribution and quality of care. Scott-Smith concludes that humanitarian groups have developed an approach to the empty stomach that is dependent on compact, commercially produced devices and is often paternalistic and culturally insensitive.
The Atkins diet limits carbohydrate intake to switch metabolism from using glucose as the energy "fuel" to burning fat stored in the human body. This process, called ketosis (not to be confused with ketoacidosis, which has similar symptoms), is triggered by low insulin levels. In a healthy state, insulin levels are low with low blood glucose (for example, before meals). With ketosis-lipolysis, excess lipids in the cells begin to penetrate the blood gradually, and used as an energy source.
Eating simple carbohydrates (for example, glucose or starch, which is a chain of glucose molecules) leads to an increase in sugar levels immediately after eating (for example, in the treatment of diabetes, the daily amount of insulin necessary for the patient is determined by the blood sugar level). Eating low carbohydrate foods has only a negligible effect on insulin and blood sugar levels.
In his book, Dr. Atkins' New Dietary Revolution, Atkins put forward a thesis, unexpected at that time, that a low-carb diet provides a metabolic advantage for weight loss - since more calories are consumed in burning fat than burning carbohydrates], which means that the body loses more calories. He refers to a study in which this advantage is estimated at 950 calories per day. On the other hand, a review by Lancet argues that there is no metabolic advantage, and people on this diet consume fewer calories due to depression.
Professor Astrup says, "The monotony and simplicity of this diet leads to loss of appetite and the amount of food consumed." This is a dubious statement, because the Atkins nutrition system does not actually limit the consumption of foods such as meat, fish, seafood, eggs, salad vegetables, mushrooms. In small quantities, Atkins allows you to eat dairy products, nuts and some other products. However, it does not limit the content of fats in food, which is important for people who are overweight. According to the list of permitted products, the Atkins diet is one of the mildest. In addition, the adrenaline and growth hormone released in sufficient amounts on this diet are themselves "natural antidepressants".
Atkins says hunger is the main reason low-fat diets don't pay off. His low-carb diet is much easier to carry - because you can eat as much food as you like. Atkins strictly limits "simple carbohydrates" (that is, easily digestible refined carbohydrates), which lead to a sharp increase in blood sugar. One of the noticeable effects with this limitation is indeed a decrease in appetite.
