While some say it's not truly possible to be fat and healthy, it's quite easy to be skinny and sick. These days it's sadly all too simple. Follow a fad diet. Emulate reality weight-loss shows. Some of you may need to go no farther than your doctor's office and ask for a prescription. Drastic diets or intense exercise or even fancy injections and supplements can all make you thin. Yet they can never make you healthy. True health is never extreme. Merging simple with science and a generous supply of common sense, Spot On: Nutrition focuses on moderation--a concept widely forgotten in recent years. Or maybe it's just the idea that's been lost as "experts" inundate us with misinformation. It's time to become your own guru. This book will help you do just that. Author of Holistic Strength Training for Triathlon, Andrew is a former professional cyclist, the first Leukemia Survivor to qualify for and finish the Hawaii Ironman World Championships, the first Leukemia Survivor to win an Iron Distance Triathlon, and twice voted One of the Top Trainers in America by Men's Health. Don't believe him when he says he's "officially retired from competition." He's simply focusing most of his energy into various creative projects, including raising a son - his biggest feat yet! Andrew also has several more books in the Spot On series nearing completion. So with a little luck (and maybe a shower sacrificed here and there), he'll get those other works published soon. His readers will then be able to combine the other Spot On subjects with optimal nutrition to enjoy the health that is their birthright.

"e;What do I strive to contribute through my passion and visions? I want to help make the world make a little more sense. I want to do work as a critic and journalist that helps increase the audience of work that deserves exposure and explain why it deserves exposure. And eventually I want to create artistic work of my own - in the form of fiction or essays - that, in its own way, does the same thing - work that illustrates connections, puts things in context and, ultimately, makes people realize that for all the insane bullshit that's going on out there (and has been going on out there since time immemorial), the world is really a pretty cool place."e; --AJ

Andrew Johnston examines EC regulation of national corporate governance systems through the lenses of economic theory and reflexive governance. By contrasting the normative demands of the neoclassical 'agency' model with those of the productive coalition model, he shows how their incompatibility required political compromise. Reflexive governance theory is then used to explain how progress has been possible. Through detailed analysis of both case law and positive regulation, the author highlights the move from positive to negative integration; the benefits as well as the limits of regulatory competition; and the significant role of reflexive techniques in both preventing market failure and enabling positive integration to proceed. The workable compromise that has emerged between market integration and continued regulatory diversity at national level demonstrates that procedural regulation can steer autonomous social subsystems towards greater responsibility and a better articulation of the public good.

Much more goes into a successful strength training program than reps and load. How one thinks, breathes, eats, drinks, and sleeps has just as much impact on a person's vitality as how one moves. Indeed, failing to get the biochemistry right dooms even the best exercise prescription to failure. While most others treat the athlete as though the musculoskeletal system functions as an island. Andrew's approach is Holistic-inclusive of all key systems of the body & mind. Holistic Strength Training for Triathlon will teach the reader what is often neglected in both their pursuit of wellness and their pursuit of a place on the podium.
