The end of food allergy : the first program to prevent and reverse a 21st century epidemic
by Kari Nadeau
Trailblazing research: Dr. Kari Nadeau at Stanford University reveals that food allergy is not a life sentence, because the immune system can be retrained. Food allergies--from mild hives to life-threatening airway constriction--can be disrupted, slowed, and stopped.
The key: is a strategy called immunotherapy (IT)--the controlled, gradual reintroduction of an allergen into the body. With innovations that include state-of-the-art therapies targeting specific components of the immune system, Dr. Nadeau and her team have increased the speed and effectiveness of this treatment to a matter of months. This book provides a lay perspective that helps make Dr. Nadeau's research accessible for everyone.

The incredible journey of plants
by Stefano Mancuso
Overview: Seeds are dispersed by wind, by rolling on the ground, by animals, by water, or by a simple fall from the plant, which can happen thanks to propulsive mechanisms, the swaying of the mother plant, the drying of the fruit, and much more.
Fascinating stories of plant migration: Beautifully illustrates how plants convince animals to transport them around the world, and how some plants need particular animals to spread; how they have been able to grow in places so inaccessible and inhospitable as to remain isolated; how they resisted the atomic bomb and the Chernobyl disaster; how they are able to bring life to sterile islands; and how they can travel through the ages, as they sail around the world.

The rooms: You'll see five distinct styles. "Traditional" is filled with vibrant color, antique furniture, and heady doses of trim and pattern; "Country" is a new take on the style, where distressed finishes and modern silhouettes mingle for a warm welcome; "Coastal" is streamlined, with natural woven fibers, sun-faded linen and neutrals, and blues and whites galore; "Mediterranean" evokes faraway lands, with a saturated palette, ornate tiles and ikats, and iron details; and "Beautiful" is a peek inside the author's own Hollywood Hills home.
