Аннотация

AS ALEX PRUDHOMME and his great-aunt Julia Child were completing their collaboration on her memoir, My Life in France, they began to talk about the French obsession with bottled water, which had finally spread to America. From this spark of interest, Prudhomme began what would become an ambitious quest to understand the evolving story of freshwater. What he found was shocking: as the climate warms and world population grows, demand for water has surged, but supplies of freshwater are static or dropping, and new threats to water quality appear every day. The Ripple Effect is Prudhommes vivid and engaging inquiry into the fate of freshwater in the twenty-first century. The questions he sought to answer were urgent: Will there be enough water to satisfy demand? What are the threats to its quality? What is the state of our water infrastructureboth the pipes that bring us freshwater and the levees that keep it out? How secure is our water supply from natural disasters and terrorist attacks? Can we create new sources for our water supply through scientific innovation? Is water a right like air or a commodity like oiland who should control the tap? Will the wars of the twenty-first century be fought over water? Like Daniel Yergins classic The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money & Power, Prudhommes The Ripple Effect is a masterwork of investigation and dramatic narrative. With striking instincts for a revelatory story, Prudhomme introduces readers to an array of colorful, obsessive, brilliantand sometimes shadowycharacters through whom these issues come alive. Prudhomme traversed the country, and he takes readers into the heart of the daily dramas that will determine the future of this essential resourcefrom the alleged murder of a water scientist in a New Jersey purification plant, to the epic confrontation between salmon fishermen and copper miners in Alaska, to the poisoning of Wisconsin wells, to the epidemic of intersex fish in the Chesapeake Bay, to the wars over fracking for natural gas. Michael Pollan has changed the way we think about the food we eat; Alex Prudhomme will change the way we think about the water we drink. Informative and provocative, The Ripple Effect is a major achievement.

Дорогие друзья по чтению. Книга «Ripple Effect» Prud’homme Alex (EN) произведет достойное впечатление на любителя данного жанра. Центром произведения является личность героя, а главными элементами — события и обстоятельства его существования. В романе успешно осуществлена попытка связать события внешние с событиями внутренними, которые происходят внутри героев. Яркие пейзажи, необъятные горизонты и насыщенные цвета — все это усиливает глубину восприятия и будоражит воображение. Кажется невероятным, но совершенно отчетливо и в высшей степени успешно передано словами неуловимое, волшебное, редчайшее и крайне доброе настроение. Несмотря на изумительную и своеобразную композицию, развязка потрясающе проста и гениальна, с проблесками исключительной поэтической силы. Мягкая ирония наряду с комическими ситуациями настолько гармонично вплетены в сюжет, что становятся неразрывной его частью. Обильное количество метафор, которые повсеместно использованы в тексте, сделали сюжет живым и сочным. Кто способен читать между строк, может уловить, что важное в своем непосредственном проявлении становится собственной противоположностью. Удачно выбранное время событий помогло автору углубиться в проблематику и поднять ряд жизненно важных вопросов над которыми стоит задуматься. Одну из важнейших ролей в описании окружающего мира играет цвет, он ощутимо изменяется во время смены сюжетов. «Ripple Effect» Prud’homme Alex (EN) читать бесплатно онлайн безусловно стоит, здесь есть и прекрасный воплощенный замысел и награда для истинных ценителей этого жанра.

Optimal well-being is obtained through a commitment to the “holy trinity” of healthy living—eating better, moving better, sleeping better. Together these lead to peak physical performance.

With tremendous insight into the physiology of the human body and the reasons mankind has evolved the way it has, The Ripple Effect exposes exercise and diet myths, inspiring you and leading you on a clear path to achieving a health and fitness transformation. With small—and very achievable—daily changes in your life, you’ll see the incredible effects of aggregate gains that professional athletes know.

You’ll learn how:
-Eating broccoli provides the body with more protein per calorie than eating steak
— Using one teaspoon less of sugar per day would help you lose four pounds of fat per year
— Walking for fifteen minutes per day decreases your risk of cancer by fifty per cent
— Playing games like tennis can prevent Alzheimer’s disease
— Losing ninety minutes of sleep reduces daytime alertness by nearly a third
— Replacing an hour of television with an hour of sleep could help you lose over fourteen pounds in a year

I don’t usually enjoy «self help» books but this one felt different. It was more specific, less fluffy, provided tactics, and backed each tactic up with research.

Although there was nothing completely groundbreaking, the information was presented in a digestable way.

A few key takeaways:
1. People who don’t have time for exercise have to make time for sickness.
2. Learn to use stress to help you perform better.

The Ripple Effect is a common-sense, research-based, practical guide to health, the kind of book that is desperately needed in a society where many put off caring for their bodies until ‘later’. It is not unlike other health books, but what is special about its message is that it emphasizes the interrelationship between the four basic aspects of health and gives hope that small changes can have powerful effects.

I highly recommend this book to all the busy professionals and students who will all find something beneficial based on their lifestyles.

While I would like to say this book contained groundbreaking, earth shattering information that completely transformed my life. it ended up being an excellent compilation of information I’ve already read about or knew.

Wells provides a great framework for becoming a healthier person by showing how the different facets flow together and depend on each other. The book is divided into four major sections: sleep, exercise, nutrition and mental health.

Wells provides a great framework for becoming a healthier person by showing how the different facets flow together and depend on each other. The book is divided into four major sections: sleep, exercise, nutrition and mental health.

Admittedly, I skimmed the nutrition section of the book because I’m married to a nutritionist. who constantly consults her friend who is a dietitian. and berates me endlessly about proper eating and food safety. Yes, I get it — five day old pizza in the fridge is not healthy and I should probably throw it out. Also, a plate of bacon with a side of lettuce isn’t a balanced meal.

Aside from that chapter, each of the other three had something to offer in terms of a new way of explaining an idea, or additional information I hadn’t come across. As a parent of a toddler and another on the way, I paid particular attention the section on sleep. I think I did that to torture myself more than anything, but it’s information to keep in mind for when the next infant starts sleeping through the night.

Throughout the book are Wells’ «1% Tips,» which are small, micro actions you can take right now that compound over time for drastic results. If you were to go through and take one from each section and apply it, there’s no doubt you will be leagues ahead from where you are now.

For those of you who already sleep well, exercise, eat healthy and spend time in mindfulness activity, there might not be new offerings in this book. Keep doing what you’re doing.

As for the rest of us, we would do well to pay attention to what Dr. Wells is saying because each of those areas he . more
