Neuware - It is possible to eat in a manner that reconciles the demands of staying slim, good health, and general well being - although the steady stream of unhealthy and sometimes dangerous Sliming diets would tend to make us believe otherwise. The new health diet proposed here draws much from traditional Cretan eating habits - which seem to be responsible for the population's tenaciously long life. Crete has the highest life-expectancy rate, and its people have the lowest incidence in the western world of cardiovascular diseases, that'scourge of the iedustrialised nations. Let food be your medicine, said Hippocrates. His advice should be taken to heart by anyone in the iedustrialised world who wishes to live longer and in better health. After examining Cretan eating habits, Serge Renaud presents, simply and concretely, the premises of a diet which would be completely in tune with the body's requirements. Serge Renaud is the scientist who discovered that wine can play a role in protecting against cardiovascular diseases - a fieding that has become known as the French paradox . After spending much of his career in the United States, he directed a research unit of INSERM (France) for twenty years.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Depuis que Stephen Hawking a postulé leur existence, les trous noirs sont devenus le principal objet de curiosité astronomique en cette fin de siècle. Certains en font le centre de rotation des galaxies, d'autres des corridors menant d'un univers à l'autre. Et pourtant, ils n'ont jamais pu être observés car ils absorbent toute la lumière passant dans leur voisinage sans en réémettre à leur tour. Ce livre est consacré à la définition et à l'observation des trous noirs. L'auteur appartient à l'équipe française qui a conçu le télescope à rayons gamma, mis en orbite terrestre pour détecter d'éventuels rayons que pourraient laisser échapper ces trous noirs. Il présente ici sa recherche comme un véritable récit d'aventures. Jacques Paul travaille au service d'astrophysique du Commissariat à l'énergie atomique (CEA).
