Deadly Life Style

The Special Investigator team of Matt Diamond and Natasha Cutter had returned to their new offi ce in Beverly Hills California and were going over a large list of potential clients when one caught their eye. They had received a call from Ms. Gloria Goldstein regarding the murder of her parents and the theft of a large twenty-carat light pink diamond from their jewelry store. The police had been of little help and she was most anxious for them to investigate the tragedy. Although the event began in Beverly Hills, the location changed quickly to Johannesburg South Africa and meant that the globe traveling team would once more return to the same country where they had been in their previous case. The hunt for the theft of the diamond and the murder of Benjamin and Rebecca Goldstein had to begin at the original source, the antique studio of Martin Clause in Johannesburg. He was the fi rst one to purchase, what he later called The Empress diamond, from a local black man, for $500,000 and sold it to the Goldsteins for a solid $1,000,000 a few days later. The Empress was the largest light pink diamond ever found in the world and was a chance fi ne in Tanzania. Although vastly under-priced and could be worth millions more, the only place it could demand its real value was in the United States and the Goldsteins were the way to get it to the American market. Entering into the theft and murders were three former American Special Forces veterans and their mission was the pursuit of the Empress. At the same time, there was a sinister fi gure behind all of this with a code name of THE RED FOX that would pay any cost to obtain the Empress. His interest in the Empress was to obtain it for a billionaire, Sir Fredrick Marsh, who wanted it as a birthday gift for his wife. It was now up to Matt Diamond and Natasha Cutter to follow the trail of the Deadly Diamond. A trail that would include the deaths of several others and a diamond that many would believe was cursed. The intrigue of who has it now is an exciting trip and the surprise ending will get the reader out of his seat with the strange twist of faith.

An estimated one in five people worldwide have elevated levels of a type of cholesterol called lipoprotein(a) which can increase the risk for cardiovascular disease, including blocked arteries, blood clots, and stroke. Cardiologist Joel Kahn explains how this condition is a factor of genetics rather than poor lifestyle choices, and the best ways to test effectively for these levels. He shares research that shows plant-based diets in general provide the best defense against heart attacks, strokes, and cardiovascular disease and can play an important role in protecting individuals with elevated lipoprotein(a) levels. He has partnered with vegan expert Beverly Lynn Bennett who provides dozens of delicious oil-free, heart-healthy recipes that provide delicious options for boosting heart health.

A growing sense of urgency over obesity at the national and international level has led to a proliferation of medical and non-medical interventions into the daily lives of individuals and populations. This work focuses on the biopolitical use of lifestyle to govern individual choice and secure population health from the threat of obesity. The characterization of obesity as a threat to society caused by the cumulative effect of individual lifestyles has led to the politicization of daily choices, habits and practices as potential threats. This book critically examines these unquestioned assumptions about obesity and lifestyle, and their relation to wider debates surrounding neoliberal governmentality, biopolitical regulation of populations, discipline of bodies, and the possibility of community resistance. The rationale for this book follows Michel Foucault’s approach of problematization, addressing the way lifestyle is problematized as a biopolitical domain in neoliberal societies. Mayes argues that in response to the threat of obesity, lifestyle has emerged as a network of disparate knowledges, relations and practices through which individuals are governed toward the security of the population’s health. Although a central focus is government health campaigns, this volume demonstrates that the network of lifestyle emanates from a variety of overlapping domains and disciplines, including public health, clinical medicine, media, entertainment, school programs, advertising, sociology and ethics. This book offers a timely critique of the continued interventions into the lives of individuals and communities by government agencies, private industries, medical and non-medical experts in the name of health and population security and will be of interests to students and scholars of critical international relations theory, health and bioethics and governmentality studies.
