Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The modern human body is trapped in a state of perpetual thermal comfort. Surrounded by central heating and insulated clothing, we have effectively shut down our evolutionary adaptation to extreme cold. This chronic coziness has a devastating metabolic consequence: without thermal stress, our cells stop producing the microscopic engines required to burn fat and generate pure, internal heat.Mitochondrial Biogenesis explores the extreme biology of deliberate cold exposure. When the body is plunged into freezing water, it triggers a violent survival protocol known as cold thermogenesis. The intense muscle contractions of shivering force the body to literally construct new mitochondria within brown adipose tissue, permanently upgrading the body's baseline metabolic rate and transforming stubborn white fat into an active, calorie-burning furnace.Deconstruct the brutal, highly effective science of thermal stress. Learn how strategically shocking your nervous system with freezing temperatures forces profound cellular adaptation, fortifying your immune resilience and engineering a biologically superior, highly efficient metabolic engine.…

Hard Cover. Zustand: Good. Circa 1811. 22,5 x 11,5 cm. Watercolours size: 22x11 cm. Full leather binding packed on a later synthetic skin protection case, with a portrait of the author at the centre front board (replica from the one at the National Portrait Gallery in London) and with his name and date in gilt letters under it. An historically important album, containing 39 watercolours and 21 drawings, some partially coloured, depicting views of Portugal as well as typical Portuguese figures and animals, done by the British Army Officer Major Douglas Mercer, probably during a reconnaissance journey in the period he was ADC to Major General Dilkes or actually during the retreat of the French Army (March 1811) when Major Mercer is reported to have been wounded twice, at Barrosa and Sobral. A curious detail is that a rough map of the area surrounding the city of Guarda is outlined, somewhat hidden in one of the drawings, this having been the area where the French Army under the command of General Massena, during the Third Invasion of Portugal, finally retreated. It is also to be highlighted that, although the album might be taken as the work of a talented and interested visitor, all the views shown bear obvious military and topographical interest, relating to the crossing of rivers, hilly areas or fortified towns. As stated in his obituary, Major, later Lieu-General Mercer, was a highly distinguished officer but also an undoubtedly talented artist. He fought bravely at Waterloo, commanding the 2nd Battalion. A portrait of him is in exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in London. In 1852, he inherited Fordell Castle, Fife, Scotland, after his elder brother Robert was deceased. By royal licence dated 14 January 1853, Mercer and his descendants were authorised to take the surname of Henderson in addition to and after that of Mercer, and to bear the arms of Henderson together with those of Mercer. Watercolours, sketches, author captions (between quotes) and our comments, as follows: Front endpapers: ownership title: «Douglas Mercer 7th 1811 Portugal & Spain» on the left side, followed by several pencil sketches with handwriten captions and notes, such as the drawings of a man riding a donkey; navy frigates; a tipical Lisbon sailing boat; wine boat in the Douro (with a note); and on the right (that is page nº 1) an almost invisible - although very perfect - pencil sketch of the Convento da Pena (before it was rebuilt as the Royal Pena Palace). Pages 2/3 The first watercolour, double page, with a caption: «Cascais August 30th 1811» (a gorgeous view of the Cascais bay, seen from the sea, with English frigates approaching the harbor and the skyline of Serra de Sintra surrounded by the usual scenic clouds). Pages 4/5 «View near Almada ? opposite Lisboa» (A wide panorama in a double page watrcolour. At the right page the mouth of the River Tagus, and at the right side the church of St. Sebastian [Igreja de São Sebastião] in Almada. Page 6 «Boat bridge at Villa Velha» (this is just a soft skecth, near invisible, placed upside down, very precisely depicting the strategical river pass at Vila Velha de Ródão, with a makeshift bridge made of a row of barges. On the right side we can see how the river Tagus strangled before the gorge was dinamited in the 20th century). N. B: There are no pages 7, 8 and 9, neither the foliae are missing, and we believe it is just a numbering error). Page 11 «Cintra» (the mountain cliffs) Page 12 «Cintra» (The Church of Sta Maria) Page 13 «Cintra» (the country road near Seteais, with the Pena Palace on the top of the mountain) Page 14 «Sabugal» (the castle and the bridge) Page 15 «Palácio de Cintra» (panorama of the 'Palacio da Vila' seen from the road called 'Volta do Banho'). Pages 16/17 A beautiful double page, coloured and signed by the author: «Oak trees ? Leiria: Leiria in Portugal ? of the buildings of Casais. Mercier» Page 18 «Pera Macor» (i.e. the castle of the village of Penamacor, within the theater of operations of Bussaco Battle). Page 19 «Houses in Santa Combadaõ. Portugal 1811» ( View of the village from the opposite bank, in which we can see the central square with the pillory) Pages 20/21 «Sabugal» (these are 2 consecutive views of the same bridge - both sketches are not coloured: the one in the left was drawn before the demolition of the bridge, and the other one afterwards). Page 22 «Sabugal. Castle dark brown» (this is a non-coloured drawing with a notice for a later colouring, usual throughout this sketchbook). Page 23 «Castello de Celorico» (this is a non-coloured drawing with the castle of Celorico and the surrounding area). Page 24 This page is upside down and depicts two different panoramas ? placed one over the other horizontally ? however for the candid viewer it seems one and the same. The captions are hidden in the watercolour . The upper one: «Spanish frontier from Ciudad Rodrigo over Robleda dotted with everglades and oaks» (This is an impressive panorama of the Meseta Castellana, that is, the central mountain system of the Iberian Peninsula). The bottom caption: «Sabugal» (the Portuguese village nearby standing one step lower at the previous mountain range). Page 25 «Bridge near Celorico. Alverca road». (this is a non-coloured drawing). Page 26 This page is upside down and depicts two different panoramas ? placed one over the other horizontally. The captions are hidden in the watercolour. The upper one: «Ciudad Rodrigo. Peculiar fei trees». The bottom one: «South range» (depicting the direction opposite of previous page 24) Page 27 «Celorico from the Road of Lagiosa» (this watercolour shows the the river with willows and, at a far distance, we can see Celorico). Page 28 «Ponte de Cinco Villas» (a beautiful watercolour, near Figueira de Castelo Rodrigo, showing the bridge in the valley of the Coa River, not yet demolished at this stage of the war). Page 29 «Ponte Ladrão, Lagiosa, Açores» (This is a scenic view of the long valley where there is a bridge, which sti.…
