Sweat : A History of Exercise
'I was riveted by Sweat and its extraordinary tale of the ups and downs of exercise over millennia' Jane Fonda‘Does what all good history books should do: take the past and make it vastly more human’ The Times_________________________From the author of Insomniac City 'who can tackle just about any subject in book form, and make you glad he did' (San Francisco Chronicle): a cultural, scientific, literary, and personal history of exerciseExercise is our modern obsession, and we have the fancy workout gear and fads to prove it.Exercise - a form of physical activity distinct from sports, play, or athletics - was an ancient obsession, too, but as a chapter in human history, it's been largely overlooked.In Sweat, Bill Hayes runs, jogs, swims, spins, walks, bikes, boxes, lifts, sweats, and downward-dogs his way through the origins of different forms of exercise, chronicling how they have evolved over time, and dissecting the dynamics of human movement. Hippocrates, Plato, Galen, Susan B. Anthony, Jack LaLanne, and Jane Fonda, among many others, make appearances in Sweat, but chief among the historical figures is Girolamo Mercuriale, a Renaissance-era Italian physician who aimed singlehandedly to revive the ancient Greek “art of exercising” through his 1569 book De arte gymnastica.In the pages of Sweat, Mercuriale and his illustrated treatise are vividly brought back to life. asHayes ties his own personal experience to the cultural and scientific history of exercise, from ancient times to the present day, he gives us a new way to understand its place in our lives in the 21st century.

But now Sade has met his match. With invention and genius, Angela Carter takes on these outrageous figments of his extreme imagination, and transforms them into symbols of our time - the Hollywood sex goddesses, mothers and daughters, pornography, even the sacred shrines of sex and marriage lie devastatingly exposed before our eyes.Angela Carter delves into the viscera of our distorted sexuality and reveals a dazzling vision of love which admits neither of conqueror nor of conquered.

Early history, Settlement, People and Tradition, Polynesians, Maori culture.Contemporary New Zealand has a majority of people of European origin, a significant minority of Maori, and smaller numbers of people from Pacific islands and Asia.In the early 21st century, Asians were the fastest-growing demographic group.New Zealand was one of the last sizable land areas suitable for habitation to be populated by human beings.The first settlers were Polynesians who traveled from somewhere in eastern Polynesia, possibly from what is now French Polynesia.They remained isolated in New Zealand until the arrival of European explorers, the first of whom was the Dutch navigator Abel Janszoon Tasman in 1642.Demographers estimate that, by the time British naval captain James Cook visited the country in 1769, the Maori population was not much greater than 100,000.They had no name for themselves but eventually adopted the name Maori (meaning "normal") to distinguish themselves from the Europeans, who, after Cook's voyage, began to arrive with greater frequency

Are protein bars just as healthy without exercise or only after exercise?
Protein bars can be a convenient and healthy snack option regardless of whether or not you exercise. They can provide a quick source of protein and other nutrients, which can be beneficial for muscle recovery and overall nutrition. However, the effectiveness of protein bars may be enhanced when consumed after exercise, as the body is more receptive to nutrients and protein for muscle repair and growth during this time. Therefore, while protein bars can be a healthy choice on their own, they may offer additional benefits when consumed after exercise.
