Healthy Juices for Healthy Kids
Making sure you consume enough fresh fruit and vegetables is now recognised as one of the best ways of keeping in good shape and ensuring a happier, longer life. Children who enjoy a healthy, varied diet are more likely to be full of energy, suffer fewer illnesses and concentrate better at school. Children grow rapidly between the ages of five and twelve, so they need a good supply of vitamins. Encouraging good habits from an early age could have a significant effect on health throughout adolescence and in later life. However, making sure that kids drink healthily is not always easy, and good intentions can often fall by the wayside. «Healthy Juices for Healthy Kids» focuses on adding healthy drinks to your diet, rather than denying yourself the things you love. The juices, smoothies and treats in this book are about striking a balance between healthy drinking and ingredients that children enjoy. Healthy juices shouldn't mean boring drinks or denying treats, but providing a diet that is varied, good for you and delicious. The chapters cover breakfast juices and smoothies, mid-morning snacks, afternoon treats, lollies, crushes and slushes and bedtime soothers. Each recipe has a nutritional note, highlighting the benefits of a particular ingredient, and there will be useful tips and variations throughout.
Good Teeth
The state of your teeth reveals much about your general state of health and wellbeing. Teeth make a strong first impression: a mouthful of gleaming white teeth completes a winning smile, and can make a difference when opportunity knocks. Poor dental health, however, can be a source of misery and expense. This book will tell you all you need to know about keeping your gnashers in tip-top shape, from maintaining general oral health and visiting the dentist to orthodontics and specialized treatments for problem mouths. The chapters cover all ages, including children, and will explore the latest technological advances.
Good Skin
Skin, the body's largest organ, is crucial to our wellbeing. It not only serves as a protective barrier between the outside world and our vulnerable insides, but also keeps us in touch with the world. But it's the appearance of our skin that receives so much attention – and is most important to a vast number of people out there. What keeps skin healthy and glowing? Is there such a thing as perfect skin and can you have it? This book is intended to serve not only as a useful reference guide on skin, its composition and disorders, but is also jam-packed with tips and advice on skincare, cosmetics, the sunscreen debate, organic versus natural treatments and anti-ageing advice. In a nutshell, it's a must-have if you're at all concerned about keeping your skin at its best for as long as possible.
Good Hair
Hair speaks volumes about who we are. It is a barometer reflecting our health, our lifestyle, style and individuality. And, like us, it has its good days and bad days. It is quite amazing how a change in colour or cut alters our whole image and, as a result, how we feel and present ourselves. When nurtured, hair can glow with health and vitality, but neglected hair looks dull and lifeless. The irony, however, is that hair is dead. With knowledge and understanding, the mystery of hair problems can be solved, either naturally or artificially. Armed with this knowledge, anyone can have a beautiful head of hair. This book will examine the structure of hair, different types of hair, changes and hair loss that can occur with age, stress and illness, diet and its effect on hair condition, solutions for excess facial hair, and correct styles for face shapes, colour and skin tone, there is also a special section on men's hair.
Don't Touch the Nuts
Whether it's the seat that's always saved for the local Old Boy, the decor that looks like it's been bought in a job lot from the 'heavy dark red fabric' shop, or the quiz team who insist on calling themselves 'Norfolk in Chance' for the hundredth time, British pubs follow a set of bizarre and baffling rules that are second nature to most pub fans but confuse the hell out of tourists. Former «GQ» editor and pub aficionado Daniel Ford casts a light on these hidden rules and answers such questions as: Do all real ale drinkers have to sport beards? Why has every country pub had at least one king, queen or ghost stay there? Is half a shandy ever an acceptable drink? Why shouldn't you stand in the middle space of an empty pub urinal? If you win three quid in the quiz machine, why are you expected to buy a round for everyone in the pub? And, most importantly, just why shouldn't you touch the nuts?!

Battlefields
This book is a salute to the skill and bravery demonstrated on 22 of the world's most famous battlegrounds, offering exciting accounts of key phases in the battles that focus on the influence and usage of the terrain. It is illustrated with historic photographs and extremely detailed mapping showing the positions and movements of the fighting forces. For six of the most impressive battles, the book features stunning 3-D maps which focus on pivotal moments in the action. These maps combine artwork and advanced software applications, making use of detailed topographical information, light and weather conditions, to create authentic representations of the action on the day. In addition, there will be information on what you can see on a visit to the sites today, and contact details for tour companies and battle parks. The list of battles was compiled by studying a variety of sources on what are regarded as key battles in the period 1805 to 1945, in consultation with Michael Rayner of the Battlefields Trust and specialist military authors. The chosen battlefields are all served by battlefield tour companies, or cater for self-guided tours, and in each case still feature much of interest to see today. The final consideration was whether the sites are safe to visit. These final two considerations have ruled out most post-1945 sites, hence the period covered spans the eventful 150 years from 1805 to 1945.
