Millions of people—many of them younger than we care to believe—are living in the aftermath of a heart attack, and it is vital for them to learn how to reduce the risk factors for subsequent heart problems. This unique and important book offers advice to survivors of a heart attack and also to those trying to prevent the onset of a heart attack. Contributors include not only distinguished medical professionals but also eleven individuals who either participated in a cardiac rehabilitation program or designed a program of their own. The patients—men and women of varied ages and ethnic backgrounds—relate their own histories, providing insight into the many faces of heart disease and inspiration and hope for other heart attack survivors.The book includes:• risk factors• diets, diagnosis, and treatment• ways to prevent angina from becoming a heart attack• strategies for reversing coronary artery disease • guidelines for choosing a cardiac rehabilitation program• a description of cardiac rehabilitation in action

"Fletcher and Gardner have created a comprehensive resource that will be of interest not only to those working in the field of finance, but also to those using numerical methods in other fields such as engineering, physics, and actuarial mathematics. By showing how to combine the high-level elegance, accessibility, and flexibility of Python, with the low-level computational efficiency of C++, in the context of interesting financial modeling problems, they have provided an implementation template which will be useful to others seeking to jointly optimize the use of computational and human resources. They document all the necessary technical details required in order to make external numerical libraries available from within Python, and they contribute a useful library of their own, which will significantly reduce the start-up costs involved in building financial models. This book is a must read for all those with a need to apply numerical methods in the valuation of financial claims." –David Louton, Professor of Finance, Bryant University
This book is directed at both industry practitioners and students interested in designing a pricing and risk management framework for financial derivatives using the Python programming language.

It is a practical book complete with working, tested code that guides the reader through the process of building a flexible, extensible pricing framework in Python. The pricing frameworks'' loosely coupled fundamental components have been designed to facilitate the quick development of new models. Concrete applications to real-world pricing problems are also provided.

Topics are introduced gradually, each building on the last. They include basic mathematical algorithms, common algorithms from numerical analysis, trade, market and event data model representations, lattice and simulation based pricing, and model development. The mathematics presented is kept simple and to the point.

The book also provides a host of information on practical technical topics such as C++/Python hybrid development (embedding and extending) and techniques for integrating Python based programs with Microsoft Excel.

A unique window on the floral wonders of the Mediterranean worldThe Mediterranean – a land of blue skies, warm sunshine, rugged mountains and azure seas. Yet this familiar image conceals another Mediterranean – a secret landscape populated by a dazzling variety of wild flowers and plants, from spectacular orchids and ancient olive trees to delicate snowdrops and hardy cacti. Following on from their widely acclaimed Flora of the Silk Road, Chris and Basak Gardner present a stunning selection of 600 of the finest wild flowers that grow in the Mediterranean regions of the world. Travelling across five continents – Europe, North America, Africa, South America and Australia – the authors reveal the rich botanical profusion that makes up the flora of the Mediterranean regions of the world. For each region, a succession of the most outstanding flowers is featured, from the spectacular and exotic to the beautiful yet familiar, with each plant presented in its natural habitat. Beginning with the countries of the Mediterranean Basin, the reader is taken along the rugged Atlas Mountains, through Andalucía and Italy, to arrive at the amazing botanical richness of Greece, southern Anatolia and Jordan.In California and Chile the journey is through flowering deserts, snow-capped peaks and towering forests of redwood and monkey puzzle trees, beside a coast lapped by the Pacific Ocean. The ancient landscapes of Southern Australia provide a truly remarkable assemblage of astonishing flora, whilst the Western Cape of South Africa is home to an unimaginable diversity of flora. The accompanying text provides descriptions of the species, plant families and their distribution, as well as offering guidance to those wishing to photograph plants in the wild. With 600 stunning colour photographs, and presenting a breadth of flora never before brought together in a single volume, the authors offer a unique window on the floral wonders of the Mediterranean world.

In a world flooded with conflicting diet advice, how do we choose what to eat? Renowned Stanford nutrition scientist discusses the findings of his over two dozen studies to end the diet wars, debunk myths, and provide health insights to inform our everyday food choices.Diet is the most under-appreciated, underutilized factor in preventing disease. The food you consume each day has a direct impact on how you feel in the short-term and on your long-term health, but so many of the health claims for food and nutrition can be confusing and contradictory. At the same time, food also means a lot more than sustenance to people. We need to enjoy it, and it needs to align with our sense of who we are; otherwise, the dietary choices we make are not going to last. This includes health, taste and pleasure, culture, and our values such as climate and environment, animal welfare, and the conditions of workers. For decades, Stanford nutrition scientist Dr. Christopher Gardner has been on the front lines of nutrition research, leading groundbreaking clinical trials that cut through the noise and uncover what truly supports long-term health. Now, in this accessible and myth-busting guide, he addresses your nutrition questions on everything from weight loss to cholesterol, seed oils, plant-based meats, ultra processed foods, protein, GMOS, fads, fibers, fermented foods, and much more. Plus, he shows you how to put all this knowledge together in the kitchen by providing some of his favorite recipes. Food Sense will inspire you to change your diet to include more plants and less processed food and sugar and, most importantlyto enjoy your food.

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SUN
The world in which we live is full of technological marvels. Information is at your fingertips and as a species, we have reached a peak because of our creativity and inventiveness.

The Other Side of the Sun is a classic tale of survival where you are left trying to answer the question, will you survive or thrive?
The Other Side of the Sun from debut author, Chris Gardner is a must read for everyone. Classic apocalyptic thriller that is well paced, thrilling and will leave you asking the question of whether or not you the reader would survive. Outstanding debut effort.
