Mushrooms and Friends 2


Book Description

The second installment of Phyllis Ma's "Mushrooms & Friends" continues the phantasmagoric photography of foraged and cultivated mushrooms. Familiar gilled mushrooms are included in addition to spongy, stalkless and club-like fungi. The collection is then juxtaposed with visceral props - sliced orange powdered with tumeric, purple daisies on green sugar, veiny texture of a cabbage leaf - and transformed into otherworldly, Dr. Seussian assemblages.




Entangled Life


Book Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A “brilliant [and] entrancing” (The Guardian) journey into the hidden lives of fungi—the great connectors of the living world—and their astonishing and intimate roles in human life, with the power to heal our bodies, expand our minds, and help us address our most urgent environmental problems. “Grand and dizzying in how thoroughly it recalibrates our understanding of the natural world.”—Ed Yong, author of An Immense World ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR—Time, BBC Science Focus, The Daily Mail, Geographical, The Times, The Telegraph, New Statesman, London Evening Standard, Science Friday When we think of fungi, we likely think of mushrooms. But mushrooms are only fruiting bodies, analogous to apples on a tree. Most fungi live out of sight, yet make up a massively diverse kingdom of organisms that supports and sustains nearly all living systems. Fungi provide a key to understanding the planet on which we live, and the ways we think, feel, and behave. In the first edition of this mind-bending book, Sheldrake introduced us to this mysterious but massively diverse kingdom of life. This exquisitely designed volume, abridged from the original, features more than one hundred full-color images that bring the spectacular variety, strangeness, and beauty of fungi to life as never before. Fungi throw our concepts of individuality and even intelligence into question. They are metabolic masters, earth makers, and key players in most of life’s processes. They can change our minds, heal our bodies, and even help us remediate environmental disaster. By examining fungi on their own terms, Sheldrake reveals how these extraordinary organisms—and our relationships with them—are changing our understanding of how life works. Winner of the Wainwright Prize, the Royal Society Science Book Prize, and the Guild of Food Writers Award • Shortlisted for the British Book Award • Longlisted for the Rathbones Folio Prize

Made Whole Made Simple


Book Description

Made Whole Made Simple is not about any particular diet; it is about walking away from fad diets and putting the focus on you- the individual. It is everything but diet and all about learning to UNDIET. Made Whole Made Simple will be your companion to navigating self-healing through real food and healthy habits. This book tackles nutrition in a straightforward way, focusing on how the body uses food to create energy and why metabolic flexibility (the body’s ability to utilize whatever fuel it is given) is so important. The first section of the book covers some biochemistry basics, walking you through a nutritional therapy approach with actionable tips to get your body back in balance. “Knowing how it works” is the first step in figuring out “how it works for me.” The foundations of health are broken down into four sections: digestion; hydration & mineral balance; blood sugar regulation; and fatty acid balance. Each foundation features a Farmacy graphic listing which nutrients support that system of the body and why, giving you the information you need to target those areas that are in need of healing. This book makes using food as medicine easy and approachable with 140 allergy-friendly recipes, all of which are free of grain, gluten, soy, and nightshades. Minimal amounts of dairy and nuts are used, and many of the recipes are coconut-free, egg-free, and AIP compliant as well. For added convenience, many of the recipes can be made in one pot, on a sheet pan, or in a slow cooker or pressure cooker—and some require no cooking at all. Icons mark those recipes that use five ingredients or less or take 30 minutes or less to prepare. All of these easy recipes are nutrient-dense, using the entire Farmacy to nourish you and your family so that you can lose weight, reverse inflammation, and feel your best without having to slave away in the kitchen or sacrifice flavor. Made Whole Made Simple is complete with cutting-edge information on stress management, metabolic flexibility, fasting, immune health, and hormone balance with actionable steps that can be put in place on day 1.
