They offer readers a rare viewing of martial traditions that is usually hidden behind social shrouds of secrecy and a clannish quest to preserve individual tradition.

Its theory and practice is entwined in many martial art styles. In chapters two and three, Robert W. Smith, introduces us to two...

While too much sun causes wrinkles and raises other health concerns, a lack of sun exposure, our primary source of vitamin D can cause serious health problems, such as osteoporosis, certain cancers, and diabetes. Dr. Holick, the discoverer of the active form of vitamin D, has pulled together an impressive body of evidence in support that no one should be-as he puts it- a sunphobe, or, for that matter, a sun worshipper. His conclusion: relatively brief, but unfettered exposure to sunshine and its equivalent can help to ward off a host of debilitating and sometimes ...

Most of us long for intimate relationships, and though texting and emailing may keep us superficially connected, it ultimately cannot create the kind of intimacy necessary to sustain a deep, fulfilling, and lasting partnership.

No mundo de hoje, é muito fácil deslocar pessoas, animais e materiais pelo planeta, mas os mesmos avanços que tornaram as infraestruturas do mundo moderno tão eficientes também transformaram as epidemias e pandemias em situações praticamente inevitáveis.
