In Moon Palace Paul Auster tells the story of Marco Stanley Fogg. The story concerns three generations, starting at the beginning of the 20th century and culminating in the first lunar landings. 'It was the summer that men first walked on the moon. I was very young back then, but did not believe there would ever be a future. I wanted to live dangerously, to push myself as far as I could go, and then see what happened when I got there.' So begins the mesmerising narrative of Marco Stanley Fogg - orphan, child of the 1960s, a quester by nature. Moon Palace is his story - a novel that spans three generations, from the early years of this century to the first lunar landings, and moves from the canyons of Manhattan to the cruelly beautiful landscape of the American West. Filled with suspense, unlikely coincidences, wrenching tragedies and marvellous flights of lyricism and erudition, the novel carries the reader effortlessly along with Marco's search - for love, for his unknown father, and for the key to the elusive riddle of his origins and his fate.

Voeding is een belangrijk middel in de preventie en behandeling van ziekten. Voeding bij gezondheid en ziekte geeft hulpverleners inzicht in wetenschappelijk gefundeerde kennis over voeding en biedt praktische tools voor het handelen. In dit boek wordt veel aandacht besteed aan overgewicht en obesitas. Maar ook onbedoeld gewichtsverlies is een speerpunt. Naast voeding komen lichaamsbeweging, slaap en stress aan bod. Deze aspecten van leefstijl hebben veel invloed op de voedingstoestand en daarmee op ziekte en gezondheid. De inhoud van deze achtste druk is geheel geactualiseerd. De nieuwste richtlijnen voor preventie, diagnostiek, en behandeling van chronische ziekten zijn verwerkt, evenals vernieuwde aanbevelingen voor de inname van voedingsstoffen en voedingsmiddelen, en veranderingen ten gevolge van de Europese wet- en regelgeving.

Trop de travailleurs quittent pour toujours le marché du travail pour raison de santé. Et trop de personnes affectées d’un handicap se voient refuser la possibilité de travailler. C’est une tragédie à la fois sociale et économique qui frappe pratiquement l’ensemble des pays de l’OCDE. Ce rapport analyse les facteurs qui pourraient expliquer ce paradoxe. Les auteurs s’intéressent plus particulièrement aux cas de l’Australie, de l’Espagne, du Luxembourg et du Royaume-Uni et mettent en lumière le rôle des institutions et des politiques. Cet ouvrage recommande un éventail de réformes susceptibles de répondre aux défis auxquels ces quatre pays font face.
