The Rise and Fall of an Epic Financial Bubble



356 pages | W.ley; (August 3, 2009) | English | ISBN-10: 0470483261 | PDF
An updated look at the United States' precarious position given the recent financial turmoil

In The New Empire of Debt, financial writers Bill Bonner and Addison Wiggin return to reveal how the financial crisis that has plagued the United States will soon bring an end to this once great empire.

Throughout the book, the authors offer an updated look at the United States' precarious position given the recent financial turmoil, and discuss how government control of the economy and financial system-combined with unfettered deficit spending and gluttonous consumption-has ravaged the business environment, devastated consumer confidence, and pushed the global economy to the brink. Along the way, Bonner and Wiggin cast a wide angle lens that looks back in history and ahead to the coming century: showing how dramatic changes in the economic power of the United States will inevitably impact every American.

* Reveals the financial realities the United States currently faces and what the ultimate outcome may be
* Weaves together the worlds of politics, economics, and personal finance in a way that underscores the severity of the situation
* Addresses the events leading up to the implosion of the U.S. financial system
* Looks ahead to help you avoid the pitfalls presented by a weaker United States
* Other titles by Bonner: Empire of Debt, Financial Reckoning Day, and Mobs, Messiahs, and Markets
* Other titles by Wiggin: I.O.U.S.A., Demise of the Dollar, and Financial Reckoning Day

The United States is heading down a difficult path. The New Empire of Debt clearly shows how this has happened and discusses what you can do to overcome the financial challenges that will arise as the situation deteriorates.

These days almost everyone is concerned about their health and appearance. We are constantly bombarded with ways to improve ourselves through diet and exercise. Unfortunately, many of these so-called solutions are only temporary and will ultimately lead to failure and disappointment.

The Fat Fighter Diet offers a lifestyle change that focuses on individual needs instead of presenting a one-size-fits-all approach. Award-winning personal trainer Bruce Krahn provides an outline for health and well-being that is formulated for the individual. He determines just how much food a person should be eating and what kinds of exercise should be done based on body type, fitness level and personal goals. The focus is on fat loss, not weight loss, which will subsequently lead to improved health and increased levels of fitness.

In an approach that is accurate and comprehensive, but not mired with medical jargon or gimmicky promises, Krahn helps men and women alike develop an action plan for taking control of their life. The Fat Fighter Diet is a guide to assist those who are dedicated to achieving optimum health and permanent fat loss. It's like having your own personal trainer and dietician, to help you fight the fat!

Encyclopedia of Human Body Systems

667 pages | Greenwood (December 1, 2010) | English | ISBN-10: 0313391750 | PDF | 10 MB
Our physical bodies have attributes and capabilities that are truly amazing. Would you believe there are about 100,000 miles of myelinated nerve fibers in your brain, or that you'll shed roughly 40 pounds of skin in your lifetime? Even after centuries of study, some higher-level functions of the human body are still not completely understood.

Ligaments and lymphatic fluid. The heart and the hormone regulatory system. The respiratory and reproductive systems. The human body comprises a myriad of fascinating, complex, and efficient systems, many of which operate constantly without our knowledge or awareness—that is, until we become ill or injured.

This encyclopedia provides a concise yet comprehensive introduction to each of the systems of the human body, exploring all 11 organ systems of the human body: the circulatory, digestive, endocrine, integumentary, lymphatic, muscular, nervous, reproductive, respiratory, skeletal, and urinary systems. Each chapter includes detailed descriptions of important physiological processes, cell and tissue types, as well as the organs and their roles within the larger system. Special attention is also given to the ways in which these systems interact. Written in accessible prose, this text is an easy-to-understand reference for lay readers of any age and an ideal resource for any high school health curriculum.
