How Westminster Works . . . and Why It Doesn't - Ian Dunt - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

How Westminster Works . . . and Why It Doesn't - Ian Dunt - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

Why do some prime ministers manage to get things done, while others miserably fail? What is a ''special adviser'' and how did they take over British political life? And why is the House of Lords more functional than most people think? Most of us have a sense that our political system doesn''t seem to work, but struggle to articulate exactly why. And for good reason: our political and financial institutions are cloaked in secrecy, archaic terminology, ancient custom and impenetrable jargon. Now, expert political journalist Ian Dunt is lifting the lid on British politics to expose every aspect of the setup in a way that can be understood and challenged. From Downing Street to Whitehall, the Commons to the Lords, this book is an indispensable guide to our political system - and how we might begin to fix it.

Stronger - Michael Joseph Gross - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

''Even if you''ve never picked up a weight, Stronger is for you'' - Arnold Schwarzenegger No matter how you think of yourself - strong or weak, large or small - you are substantially made of muscle. To the last day of your life, your ability to stand and go where you want to go, your agency and effectiveness in the world, will depend on it. But what is muscle?From the battlefields of Homer''s Iliad , where muscles first entered world literature, to the Victorian-era gymnasiums where women built strength and muscle by lifting heavy weights, to a retirement home in Boston, where a young doctor discovered that training at high intensity can produce the same relative gains for frail ninety-year-olds as for thirty-year-olds, Stronger places the science and significance of our muscles in an astonishing new light.Ancient binaries of brain versus brawn created an enduring prejudice against muscle, and against the type of exercise that best builds strength. Yet the research proves that weight training can help prevent or treat many chronic diseases and disabilities throughout life, including depression, cancer, and diabetes. All of us, from elite powerlifters to people who have never played sports at all, can learn to lift weights in ways that yield life''s ultimate prize: the ability to act in the world.
