“Painting the world a new picture on healthy” - Angela M. Landeros Angela M. Landeros started her journey toward a healthier immune system after her skin began breaking out in hives and she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. For the next two years, she sifted through her diet to eliminate inflammatory foods, and then she kept working to find a diet that reacted well with her body. She now believes you can change body chemistry by tracking what you eat—and you can also improve your immune system, heal your digestive system, strengthen your brain, and reduce inflammation throughout your body. The best part is you don’t have to count calories: All you need to do is track what goes into your body and how those ingredients make you feel. By creating a list of substances that have a negative effect on your body, substances you should never eat or come into contact with, and those that you may consume occasionally, you’ll be equipped to transform your health and life. Start paying attention to what your body is telling you, and change your lifestyle for good with the insights, lessons, and action plan in The FLog Journal.

William Maclure (1763-1840) was an Amer. geologist & philanthropist who traveled extensively in Europe during the early years of the 19th century, conducting geological surveys & collecting rock & mineral specimens for schools & scientific institutions in the U.S. He has been called "the Father of Modern Geology" for the extraordinary feat of having made a one-man geological survey of the eastern U.S. from Maine to Georgia, & from the Mississippi to the Atlantic. Maclure used his wealth to support such institutions as the Acad. of Natural Sciences of Phila. & to subsidize the work of a number of scientists & teachers. He was also concerned with the reform of education & set up libraries & schools for children of the lower classes. Scholars have questioned why Maclure retired early to devote the rest of his life to science & reform. Some answers may be found in this vol., which includes transcriptions from microfilm of some 20 journals which Maclure kept during his travels & research in Europe; they span the years 1805-15 & 1820-25.
