In 11.22.63, Jake Epping, a schoolteacher in Maine (a childhood reference point as recurrent in King's fiction as New Jersey in Philip Roth's), is summoned by the owner of Al's Diner, a local eaterie that has become popular but also suspect as a result of being able to sell, in 2011, burgers at near-1950s prices. The possibility of such an intervention must number, along with its darker twin of going back and killing Hitler, among the principal fantasies of time travel, and is explored in the 54th work of fiction by Stephen King. P eople are commonly said to remember their location when told of President John F Kennedy's assassination, but many must also wish the place they had been on 22 November 1963 was Dallas, where they might somehow have diverted the motorcade or prevented Lee Harvey Oswald from entering the Texas School Book Depository.

Twenty-one-year-old Joyce Johnson, an aspiring novelist and a secretary at a New York literary agency, fell in love with Jack Kerouac on a blind date arranged by Allen Ginsberg nine months before the publication of 'On the Road' made Kerouac an instant celebrity. But what about Joyce Johnson (nee Glassman), Edie Parker, Elise Cowen, Diane Di Prima, and dozens of others? These female friends and lovers of the famous iconoclasts are now beginning to be recognized for their own roles in forging the Beat movement and for their daring attempts to live as freely as did the men in their circle a decade before Women's Liberation. Theirs are the names primarily associated with the Beat Generation.

The highly glycated milk protein severely impaired lysine bioavailability: the incremental area under the curve of plasma lysine concentration was 92% lower. Participants ingested three different protein drinks on three different days: 40 g of 3%, 20%, or 50% glycated milk protein. Our study investigated the effect of glycation of milk protein on plasma amino acid responses during the 6 hours after ingestion. This may interfere with the digestion and/or absorption of lysine in the protein. Especially the essential amino acid lysine is susceptible to this. Heating of milk can cause its sugar molecules (lactose) to stick to the amino acids of the milk protein, a process known as glycation. Milk is often heated to increase its microbiological safety and shelf life, or to make specific milk-based products (such as infant formulas and protein supplements). Can the processing of milk protein lower its quality?

In Aerial Life, he brings together a fascinating set of theoretical concerns and empirical cases in his inimitable style, with a gravity of purpose and a lightness of touch that makes for an incredibly rich book.' -Mark B. "These books could serve as a starting point from which to further develop this concept of aerial space and how it fits with or challenges other theories of space that are emerging in geography and the social sciences more broadly, such as those drawing on network and complexity theory." (The AAG Review of Books, 1 March 2014) ''Peter Adey is a clear, strong, inventive, unique voice in human geography. |
