Omega-3 Fatty Acids and the DHA Principle

Omega-3 Fatty Acids and the DHA Principle

The physical-chemical properties of the omega-3 fatty acid DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) enable it to facilitate rapid biochemical processes in the membrane. This effect has numerous benefits including those involved in the growth of bacteria rapid energy generation human vision brain impulse and photosynthesis to name a few. Yet DHA also carries risks that can lead to cellular death and disease. Omega-3 Fatty Acids and the DHA Principle explores the roles of omega-3 fatty acids in cellular membranes ranging from human neurons and swimming sperm to deep sea bacteria and develops a principle by which to assess their benefits and risks. The DHA Principle states that the blending of lipids to form cellular membranes is evolutionarily-honed to maximize benefit while minimizing risk and that a complex blending code involving conformational dynamics energy stress energy yield and chemical stability underlies all cellular membranes. This book lays the groundwork to understanding this code. It examines the evolution of DHA and the membrane and explores the general properties of omega-3s and other membrane lipids. It then focuses on cellular biology before shifting to a practical discussion on applications. The authors discuss the DHA Principle as applied to petroleum degradation winemaking global warming molecular farming aging neurodegenerative diseases and the prevention of colon cancer. Reflecting the increased public interest that has emerged over the years this volume uses an integrative approach to explain the complex roles of omega-3s in the membrane. Incorporating principles from chemistry cellular biology evolution and ecology this work gives researchers in a variety of fields the building blocks to stimulate further study.

Interpreting Landscapes Geologies Topographies Identities; Explorations in Landscape Phenomenology 3

Interpreting Landscapes Geologies Topographies Identities; Explorations in Landscape Phenomenology 3

This book takes a new approach to writing about the past. Instead of studying the prehistory of Britain from Mesolithic to Iron Age times in terms of periods or artifact classifications Tilley examines it through the lens of their geology and landscapes asserting the fundamental significance of the bones of the land in the process of human occupation over the long durée. Granite uplands rolling chalk downlands sandstone moorlands and pebbled hilltops each create their own potentialities and symbolic resources for human settlement and require forms of social engagement. Taking his findings from years of phenomenological fieldwork experiencing different landscapes with all senses and from many angles Tilley creates a saturated and historically imaginative account of the landscapes of southern England and the people who inhabited them. This work is also a key theoretical statement about the importance of landscapes for human settlement. | Interpreting Landscapes Geologies Topographies Identities; Explorations in Landscape Phenomenology 3

Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk Flags Football and the NFL’s “Foxy” Patriotism Problem

Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk Flags Football and the NFL’s “Foxy” Patriotism Problem

This book examines how the game of football and militarism have historically overlapped due to their shared celebration of strength might and besting a clear and definitive foe. Nevertheless since September 11 a variety of staged patriotic vignettes dominated most NFL broadcasts giving the once easy and unforced union a stilted feel. That the War on Terror became a fixture of modern- day Super Bowls was easy to portend; what was more difficult to predict was the imprint it would leave on U. S. citizens and American politics. Ben Fountain’s award-winning novel Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk reveals what passes for patriotism in a country that has reduced the sober and stark reality of combat to pageantry and production for the crowd back home leaving our troops to unwittingly play the part of entertainers destined to be sexualized just like the cheerleaders and dancers so frequently performing alongside them. | Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk Flags Football and the NFL’s “Foxy” Patriotism Problem

Handbook of Parenting Volume 3: Being and Becoming a Parent Third Edition

Handbook of Parenting Volume 3: Being and Becoming a Parent Third Edition

This highly anticipated third edition of the Handbook of Parenting brings together an array of field-leading experts who have worked in different ways toward understanding the many diverse aspects of parenting. Contributors to the Handbook look to the most recent research and thinking to shed light on topics every parent professional and policymaker wonders about. Parenting is a perennially hot topic. After all everyone who has ever lived has been parented and the vast majority of people become parents themselves. No wonder bookstores house shelves of how-to parenting books and magazine racks in pharmacies and airports overflow with periodicals that feature parenting advice. However almost none of these is evidence-based. The Handbook of Parenting is. Period. Each chapter has been written to be read and absorbed in a single sitting and includes historical considerations of the topic a discussion of central issues and theory a review of classical and modern research and forecasts of future directions of theory and research. Together the five volumes in the Handbook cover Children and Parenting the Biology and Ecology of Parenting Being and Becoming a Parent Social Conditions and Applied Parenting and the Practice of Parenting. Volume 3 Being and Becoming a Parent considers a large cast of characters responsible for parenting each with her or his own customs and agenda and examines what the psychological characteristics and social interests of those individuals reveal about what parenting is. Chapters in Part I on The Parent show just how rich and multifaceted is the constellation of children’s caregivers. Considered first are family systems and then successively mothers and fathers coparenting and gatekeeping between parents adolescent parenting grandparenting and single parenthood divorced and remarried parenting lesbian and gay parents and finally sibling caregivers and nonparental caregiving. Parenting also draws on transient and enduring physical personality and intellectual characteristics of the individual. The chapters in Part II on Becoming and Being a Parent consider the intergenerational transmission of parenting parenting and contemporary reproductive technologies the transition to parenthood and stages of parental development and then chapters turn to parents' well-being emotions self-efficacy cognitions and attributions as well as socialization personality in parenting and psychoanalytic theory. These features of parents serve many functions: they generate and shape parental practices mediate the effectiveness of parenting and help to organize parenting. | Handbook of Parenting Volume 3: Being and Becoming a Parent Third Edition
