British journalist and physician Michael Mosley sets an ambitious goal: to become healthier and lose weight while making as few changes as possible to his life. In working toward these goals, Mosley discovers a powerful new science behind the old idea of fasting, a program that still allows him to enjoy his favorite foods. He takes a road trip across the U.S. to investigate how a little hunger can turn on the body’s “repair genes” and, of course, tries the new science himself. Mosley learns that a diet based on feast and famine has powerful effects on the body, reducing the risks of heart disease, diabetes and some cancers. The diet seems to pack the anti-aging clout of calorie restriction while still allowing for a taste of the good life. And it turns out to be not only good for the body; it may also be good for the brain.

一中一西两位学者，经过长期的田野工作，结合中国传统文化经典，合作完成了这样一本杰出的研究著作。该书从养生这一具体现象入手，探讨了北京市民对良好生活状态和现实政治社会秩序的理解，旁及北京城市文化和城市建设问题。北京养生活动的现代表象之下，有着古老文化传统的回响，“生生不息”的身体生命观，在我们的生活世界中仍然焕发着蓬勃的生命力。 关于养生，本书呈现出了为人熟知的表象之下，那些或细微、或宏阔的生活画卷，个体生命、北京城市文化和中国政治社会发展历程在此巧妙交织在了一起。 “在我们看来，北京乃至中国城市空间的独特性与历史性在公共场所周而复始的养生活动中表现得尤为明显。养生实践是社会状况的表达，这一社会条件不同于20世纪20年代，不同于1936年，不同于上海，也不同于纽约，错综复杂的文化与社会力量交错汇合于此，塑造了独特的社会情境。在变化万 千的城市空间中，北京人生活得有声有色，也道出了自己的历史与个性。”——冯珠娣、张其成

2018 documentary film by Kirby Dick

Documentary filmmaker Robert Kenner examines how mammoth corporations have taken over all aspects of the food chain in the United States, from the farms where our food is grown to the chain restaurants and supermarkets where it's sold. Narrated by author and activist Eric Schlosser, the film features interviews with average Americans about their dietary habits, commentary from food experts like Michael Pollan and unsettling footage shot inside large-scale animal processing plants.
