The New Glucose Revolution Low GI Guide to Losing Weight: The Only Authoritative Guide to Weight Loss Using the Glycemic Index

When it comes to losing weight, not all foods are created equal. The glycemic index—an easy-to-understand ranking of foods, most notably carbohydrates, based on the rate at which the body metabolizes them—can help people choose the right foods to eat in their quest to lose weight and keep it off. Written by the world's leading authorities on the glycemic index, The New Glucose Revolution Low GI Guide to Losing Weight answers the questions most frequently asked by dieters about low-GI foods, recounts success stories about people who have lost weight by making the switch to a low-GI diet, includes a week's worth of low-GI meal plans, and much more.

Everything You Know Is Wrong: The Case for a New Reformation

How has Christianity arrived at its current state? Should the faith be so thoroughly and antagonistically divided into two camps that are themselves hopelessly fractured? Which side is right? For that matter, is either right? Here, the Reverend Robert McLeod, holder of master's degrees in both political science and divinity, reviews the history of the Church since the Reformation of the sixteenth century and comes to new conclusions about theology, morality, and the role of the Christian faith in the modern world. Shocking, pointed, discomforting, but always thought-provoking, the observations here put forth will change forever the way you view some of the Church's foundational beliefs and their effects on the real world. Open this book only if you have the stomach and, more importantly, the mind, for bold new insight.

Green Suede Shoes: An Irish American Odyssey

This rock 'n' roll Angela's Ashes begins in County Wexford, Ireland, in the late 1950s, a now unrecognizable, priest-fearing backwater suffocating in superstition and strangled by sexual fevers. After an escape to the Bronx, Larry finds himself, like a musical Zelig, side by side with the Ramones and Blondie at CBGBs; the brothers McCourt, Lester Bangs, and Nick Tosches at The Bells of Hell; the Guinness soaked regulars of Paddy Reilly's; Cyndi Lauper while she ascends and burns; Joe Strummer, Rick Ocasek, Neil Young, and Shane McGowan. The shootings at the Academy and the tragic death of soundman Johnny Byrne punctuate the revels and excesses and presage the gloom cast by 9/11 and the loss of Father Mychal Judge and so many friends. Green Suede Shoes remembers three decades of a lost New York, and celebrates the music and song in which it now lives.

Everything You Know Seems Wrong: Globalization and the Relativizing of Tradition

In today's world it seems that the only thing you can be sure of is that there is nothing you can be sure of! Things once taken for granted are now debatable and yesterday's "certainties" are today controversial. Cultural conflict, from "culture wars" to the global "clash of civilizations" and international terrorism, has intensified with the growing consciousness of global interdependence. But this is not the first time this has happened, nor will it be the last. A potent cause of the current conflicts, and of the periodic recurrence of such conflicts, is an effect of pluralism and globalization called the "relativizing of tradition," largely unexplored until now. Everything You Know Seems Wrong elucidates this process and discusses how it undermines established beliefs and traditions. The book examines the sense of threat and insecurity that "relativizing of tradition" produces and the range of reactions it generates, including conflict within individuals, movements, and cultures. Author George Van Pelt Campbell examines in depth the contemporary effects of the process in America's first faith, Evangelical Protestantism, and then looks at the likely effects of the process in the global future.
