Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is a Gothic novella by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, first published in 1886. The work is also known as The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, or simply Jekyll and Hyde.[1] The novella follows Gabriel John Utterson, a London legal practitioner who investigates a series of strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr. Henry Jekyll,[2][3][4] and a murderous criminal named Edward Hyde. It is revealed at the end of the novella that Jekyll and Hyde are the same person, with Jekyll transforming into Hyde via an unnamed chemical concoction to live out his darker urges. Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is one of the most famous pieces of English literature, and is considered to be a defining book of the gothic horror genre. The novella has also had a sizable impact on popular culture, with the phrase "Jekyll and Hyde" being used in vernacular to refer to people with an outwardly good but sometimes shockingly evil nature. |

Dr. Gundry's Diet Evolution: Turn Off the Genes That  Are Killing You and Your Waistline | A Complete Summary This book discusses the Diet Evolution, which consists of three phases. What’s great about this diet plan is that it teaches you a new routine and habits along with exercise. It is not just a diet but also a way of life. The diet evolution aims to hinder the “killer genes” from activating so that you will have a long and healthy life. Also, after three months into the program, you will have a new set of healthy cells. It’s like being an entirely different person. Phase 1 or the Teardown phase encourages you to lose weight by increasing the intake of greens and opting for meat that comes from plant-eating animals only. Animals that eat plants act as mediators so that you can gain plant nutrients and proteins. Phase 2 or the Restoration phase requires that you eliminate the mediator and concentrate on the greens. It’s like turning vegan. You are also recommended to take supplements to compensate for the other nutrients and to gain muscle mass. Nuts, salads, and smoothies are your main foods. Phase 2 is where you also need to exercise. Either you go long distances in a slow and steady motion, or you go for short distances and sprint quickly. He also recommends a few minutes of strength training to increase muscle mass and tone. The longevity phase or phase three is not for everyone. This is because most of the foods you eat will be raw. This is how your ancestors ate their food and is the secret to long life. Not a lot of people like eating raw foods so this may not be for you. For people who are hesitant and don’t know where to start, there is a meal plan and some recipes suited for the phase that you are in. You don’t have to worry about what to eat. Another thing is that the menu in phase 1 can be recycled in phase 2 with slight changes. This means that you don’t have to adjust again to the new food. Your eating habits will remain the same, and you’ll get used to it. Most of the diet evolution “Club members” were former patients who decided to change their lifestyle. Word-of-mouth is a successful method of advertising this diet plan. More people approach very eager to try this diet strategy mainly due to its successes. There were insulin-resistant patients who’ve had to deal with obesity for so long. There were also surgery patients with hip replacements due to obesity. In this diet evolution, you are motivated to become a new person inside and out. Your lifestyle will change, and you will become healthier, better-looking, and feel good about it. Diet Evolution certainly aims to make people healthier and live longer.

This book was born from the idea of providing useful advice and suggestions to those who are about to embark on the Camino de Santiago for the first time. I walked them all: in 2006 the Camino Francés, from St. Jean Pied-de-Port to Fisterra, in 2008 the Via de la Plata from Seville, in 2010, the Jacobean holy year, the Camino Primitivo from Oviedo and the stage from Fisterra to Muxía, in 2012 the Camino del Norte. I put the figures in a column, I try to add them. Three thousand kilometers, exactly, on foot. I got some information from the Internet, I checked it by comparing it with my personal experience, I tried to provide a complete and updated report. In this book you will find: - a historical-religious introduction on the figure of St. James and the origin of the pilgrimage; - an overview of the routes to Santiago today; - detailed advice on which Way to choose and how far to go per day; - a small glossary of the most frequent terms: albergue, botafumeiro, Compostela, credential, donativo, sello, ...; - how to prepare for the Way: how much to train and how, where to find information, the most up-to-date websites and the best apps, how to book the flight, what are the average daily costs; - which shoes to use; - how to prepare the backpack: what things are necessary and what are superfluous; - the symbols and rituals along the Way, in Santiago and in Fisterra; - the new ways of accessing the Portico of Glory, after a decade of delicate restorations. From time to time, I inserted short passages taken from the diaries I wrote, to give the sense of the pilgrimage, the scent of encounters, the flavor of the extraordinary emotions experienced. Enjoy the reading and buen camino ! |

Ce livre vous fera apprendre l’espagnol en trente jours seulement, à partir de zéro .                         Et c’est plus qu’une simple promesse. Je m’explique… La méthode est très simple : le livre est composé de 30 chapitres, un pour chaque jour, pour vous permettre d’apprendre les bases de cette langue en un seul mois. Pour profiter au maximum de ce cours, il n’y a qu’une règle à respecter : lire un chapitre par jour, ni plus, ni moins. Si vous respectez cette règle et vous suivez les indications contenues dans le livre, le résultat est garanti. Oubliez les cours de grammaire ennuyeux, au caractère banal et dépersonnalisé.                   « Comment apprendre l’espagnol en 30 jours » a été conçu selon les règles du self-help, comme un manuel pratique, de nature personnelle, amusante et stimulante. Il est plein d’anecdotes curieux et de conseils utiles pas seulement pour parler en espagnol, mais aussi pour se débrouiller en voyage. Si vous n’êtes pas encore convaincus, continuez la lecture… Extrait de l’avant-propos… (…) Vous direz : et en 30 jours j'arrive à apprendre toute une langue ?!? La réponse est oui. Avant tout, comme tout produit qui se respecte, il a réussi le contrôle de qualité : mes amis et ma famille ont testé ce manuel, et le mois suivant ils se sont plutôt bien débrouillés avec la grammaire et le lexique, croyez-moi.    Évidemment, personne ne devient un locuteur natif en 30 jours : mais on peut bâtir des fondations solides sur lesquelles ériger une belle maison. Vous voyez ce que je veux dire ? Étudier un peu tous les jours c'est un secret aussi simple qu'efficace pour que l'apprentissage s'avère facile et immédiat.      Je vous donnerai l'opportunité de sonder tous les secrets de la grammaire et du lexique, et vous devez me promettre et me jurer que vous ferez tout pour compléter cette riche formation : consultez des quotidiens en ligne, regardez des films ou des séries télévisées sous-titrés, lisez un livre à l'aide d'un dictionnaire, saisissez donc toutes les occasions pour être le plus possible en contact avec l'espagnol. Ensuite il y aura de la place pour le réel dialogue en langue, le banc d'essai pour vérifier vos compétences théoriques. Quand vous partirez en vacances dans un pays hispanophone ou quand vous aurez affaire à l'espagnol dans n'importe quelle situation, vous aurez envie de donner le meilleur de vous-mêmes. Réfléchissez : un mois. 30 jours d'étude vous aideront à apprendre une nouvelle langue, à améliorer votre curriculum, à vous plonger dans un monde nouveau et différent. Ça va être un mois spécial, et vous serez satisfaits. |
