Scientists directly involved in studying the Exxon Valdez spill provide a comprehensive synthesis of scientific information on long-term spill effects.\nWhat light does nearly 25 years of scientific study of the Exxon Valdez oil spill shed on the fate and effects of a spill? How can the results help in assessing future spills? How can ecological risks be assessed and quantified? In this, the first book on the effects of Exxon Valdez in 15 years, scientists directly involved in studying the spill provide a comprehensive perspective on, and synthesis of, scientific information on long-term spill effects. The coverage is multidisciplinary, with chapters discussing a range of issues including effects on biota, successes and failures of post-spill studies and techniques, and areas of continued disagreement. An even-handed and critical examination of more than two decades of scientific study, this is an invaluable guide for studying future oil spills and, more broadly, for unraveling the consequences of any large environmental disruption.

I entitled this book “Immortal Mitochondria” because thousands of them in every one of my cells with their own genome make me live, grow, and function as a person with power to feel and heal. I inherited this old eukaryotic symbiont from my maternal mothers may be a 1000 years ago and there may me a 1000 or more males and females out there with mitochondrial genome similar to mine. This biological truth relates to our daily life in terms of foods we eat for energy and our vitality, our electro-magnetic life processes, life span, aging and death. As mitochondria do all this, they fuse, split, change shape, and get destroyed under their own specification of purposeful quality control. I wish to tell my readers that the mitochondrial genome talks to our nuclear genome regularly and caring for it is critical to our health and longevity. The first chapter is about biochemistry of chemical energy production from glucose, the second is about “how, how often, and what kind” of foods that we should eat, the third is about vital signs and organ failures due to failing mitochondria, and the fourth is about diseases controlled my mitochondrial genes. The fifth chapter is an integrated summation of all. It describes the evolution of and power production by mitochondria, mitochondrial health as it relates to aging, and the effects of how we choose to live on the health of mitochondria. I should emphasize that “How we choose to live” includes exercise, yoga, meditation, mindfulness, acupuncture, self-message, and even the way we use our mind. We live by 3,750 million of these nanomagnets in our cells and our life is all about the life of mitochondria within us. We can live long and well only by healthy mitochondria. We must help them remain immortal by good foods.

The New York Times–bestselling cookbook that shows frustrated parents how to hide healthy ingredients in their kids’ favorite foods! As a mother of three, Jessica Seinfeld can speak for all parents who struggle to feed their kids right and deal nightly with dinnertime fiascos. As she wages a personal war against sugars, packaged foods, and other nutritional saboteurs, she offers appetizing alternatives for parents who find themselves battling with kids who refuse to eat their vegetables. Her book is filled with kid-approved recipes—stealthily packed with veggies so kids don’t even know! With the help of a nutritionist and a professional chef, Seinfeld has developed a month’s worth of meals for kids of all ages that includes, for example, pureed cauliflower in mac and cheese, and kale in spaghetti and meatballs. She also provides revealing and humorous personal anecdotes, and tips on how to deal with the kid who “must have” the latest sugar bomb cereal. Along with recipes and tips, Seinfeld addresses the big-picture issues that surround childhood obesity and its long–term (and ruinous) effects on the body. Deceptively Delicious provides an arsenal of information on kids’ nutrition so parents understand why it's important to throw a little avocado puree into their quesadillas. She discusses the critical importance of portion size, and the specific elements kids simply must have in order to flourish now and in the future: protein, calcium, vitamins, and Omega 3 and 6 fats. This book is practical, easy–to–read, and a godsend for any parent who wants their kids to be healthy for a long time to come. “I found the techniques for adding vegetables to meals extremely creative and the recipes fantastic.” —Bob Greene, New York Times–bestselling author of The Best Life Diet “Sound tips for learning to say no to junk when kids ask, encouraging conversation, getting children to participate in prep and cleaning, and developing age-appropriate eating habits.” —Publishers Weekly
