| "In At Home Bill Bryson applies the same irrepressible curiosity irresistible wit stylish prose and masterful storytelling that made A Short History of Nearly Everything one of the most lauded books of the last decade and delivers one of the most entertaining and illuminating books ever written about the history of the way we live Bill Bryson was struck one day by the thought that we devote a lot more time to studying the battles and wars of history than to considering what history really consists of centuries of people quietly going about their daily business - eating sleeping and merely endeavouring to get more comfortable And that most of the key discoveries for humankind can be found in the very fabric of the houses in which we liveThis inspired him to start a journey around his own house an old rectory in Norfolk wandering from room to room considering how the ordinary things in life came to be Along the way he did a prodigious amount of research on the history of anything and everything from architecture to electricity from food preservation to epidemics from the spice trade to the Eiffel Tower from crinolines to toilets; and on the brilliant creative and often eccentric minds behind them And he discovered that although there may seem to be nothing as unremarkable as our domestic lives there is a huge amount of history interest and excitement - and even a little danger - lurking in the corners of every home"

The answer is vastly more complex than you imagine Every apple contains thousands of antioxidants whose names beyond a few like vitamin C are unfamiliar to us and each of these powerful chemicals has the potential to play an important role in supporting our health They impact thousands upon thousands of metabolic reactions inside the human body But calculating the specific influence of each of these chemicals isn&39;t nearly sufficient to explain the effect of the apple as a whole Because almost every chemical can affect every other chemical there is an almost infinite number of possible biological consequences And that&39;s just from an apple Nutritional science long stuck in a reductionist mindset is at the cusp of a revolution The traditional "gold standard" of nutrition research has been to study one chemical at a time in an attempt to determine its particular impact on the human body These sorts of studies are helpful to food companies trying to prove there is a chemical in milk or pre-packaged dinners that is "good" for us but they provide little insight into the complexity of what actually happens in our bodies or how those chemicals contribute to our health In The China Study T Colin Campbell (alongside his son Thomas M Campbell) revolutionized the way we think about our food with the evidence that a whole food plant-based diet is the healthiest way to eat Now in Whole he explains the science behind that evidence the ways our current scientific paradigm ignores the fascinating complexity of the human body and why if we have such overwhelming evidence that everything we think we know about nutrition is wrong our eating habits haven&39;t changed Whole is an eye-opening paradigm-changing journey through cutting-edge thinking on nutrition a scientific tour de force with powerful implications for our health and for our world"
