Measured Success! a Diet and Exercise Strategy Based on Counting Calories

By: Edward J. Coates

Measured Success! cuts through the clutter of diet and exercise information and provides an uncomplicated strategy that anyone can understand, follow and share with others. Measured Success! simplifies and clarifies the process of ''counting calories'' in both diet and exercise and introduces a unique strategy called the ''Power of 11'' that is nutritionally sound, easy to remember and effective in achieving results. Included in the book are charts to help estimate the nutritional value of most foods, predict the calories burned during exercise and charts approximate your metabolism. The author shares his success in losing over forty pounds and his continued ability to maintain his new weight fro nearly twenty years, specifically through diet and exercise. Measured Success! looks at the cultural change in America, which the author calls the ''super-sized, self propelled'' lifestyle and relates this new phenomenon to the obesity crisis we now face. However, most importantly, the book Measured Success! proves a realistic, practical and proven solution. The book is written in an easy-to-understand and follow manner and avoids excessive clinical or technical information. In fact, the goal of the book is to simplify diet and exercise into a strategy with which anyone can achieve long term weight loss. The ''Power of 11'' as introduced in the book, will help readers establish a realistic target weight which is a minimum loss of 11% of the reader's current weight within six months. The ''Power of 11'', provides a daily caloric budget, which is 11 times the readers target weight. The exercise component of the ''Power of 11'' strategy is a weekly target of calories burned equal to 11 times the readers weight. Thus, the ''Power of 11'' is an uncomplicated, measurable way to establish and achieve a weight loss goal.

Convicts and Orphans

Forced and State-Sponsored Colonizers in the Portuguese Empire, 1550-1755

By: Timothy J. Coates

This book examines how the early modern Portuguese state used convicts and orphans to populate its global empire. In addition, it addresses the issue of gender in the state's use of two distinct groups of single women as colonizers, orphan girls and reformed prostitutes, each given state-awarded dowries if they agreed to relocate overseas.

Cambodia Now

Life in the Wake of War

By: Karen J. Coates

Cambodia has never recovered from its Khmer Rouge past. The genocidal regime of 1975-1979 and the following two decades of civil war ripped the country apart. This work examines Cambodia in the aftermath, focusing on Khmer people of all walks of life and examining through their eyes key facets of Cambodian society, including the ancient Angkor legacy, relations with neighboring countries (particularly the strained ones with the Vietnamese), emerging democracy, psychology, violence, health, family, poverty, the environment, and the nation's future. Along with print sources, research is drawn from hundreds of interviews with Cambodians, including farmers, royalty, beggars, teachers, monks, orphanage heads, politicians, and non-native experts on Cambodia. Dozens of exquisite photographs of Cambodian people and places illustrate the work, which concludes with a glossary of Cambodian words, people, places and names, and an appendix of organizations providing aid to Cambodia.

Pacific Lady

The First Woman to Sail Solo Across the World's Largest Ocean

By: Sharon Sites Adams,Karen J. Coates

It was an age without GPS and the Internet, without high-tech monitoring and instantaneous reporting. And it was a time when women simply didn t do such things. None of this deterred Sharon Sites Adams. In June 1965 Adams made history as the first woman to sail solo from the mainland United States to Hawaii. Four years later, just as Neil Armstrong very publicly stepped onto the moon, the diminutive Adams, alone and unobserved, finally sighted Point Arguello, California, after seventy-four days sailing a thirty-one-foot ketch from Japan, across the violent and unpredictable Pacific. She was the first woman to do so, setting another world record. Inspiring and exciting, Adams s memoir recounts the personal path leading to her historic achievements: a tomboy childhood in the Oregon high desert, an early marriage and painful divorce, and a second marriage that ended when her husband died of cancer. In the wake of his death and almost by accident, Adams discovered sailing. Six weeks after her first sailing lesson she bought a boat, and within eight months she set out to achieve her first world record. Pacific Lady recounts the inward journey that paralleled her sailing feats, as Adams drew on every scrap of courage and navigational skill she could muster to overcome the seasickness, exhaustion, and loneliness that marked her harrowing crossings.

Eternal Harvest

The Legacy of American Bombs in Laos

By: Karen Coates

Karen Coates and Jerry Redfern spent more than seven years traveling in Laos, talking to farmers, scrap-metal hunters, people who make and use tools from UXO, people who hunt for death beneath the earth and render it harmless. With their words and photographs, they reveal the beauty of Laos, the strength of Laotians, and the commitment of bomb-disposal teams. People take precedence in this account, which is deeply personal without ever becoming a polemic.

Convict Labor in the Portuguese Empire, 1740-1932

Convict Labor in the Portuguese Empire, 1740-1932

Redefining the Empire with Forced Labor and New Imperialism

By: Timothy J. Coates

Forced convict labor provided the Portuguese with solutions to the growing criminal population at home and the lack of infrastructure in Angola and Mozambique. In Convict Labor in the Portuguese Empire, Timothy J. Coates examines the role of large numbers of convicts in Portuguese Africa from 1800 until 1932. This work examines the numbers, rationale, and realities of convict labor (largely) in Angola during this period, but Mozambique is a secondary area, as well as late colonial times in Brazil. This is a unique, first study of an experiment in convict labor in Africa directed by a European power; it will be welcomed by scholars of Africa and New Imperialism, as well as those interested in law and labor.

Diet & Exercise

Uncomplicated

By: Edward J Coates

Have you seen the recent newspaper and magazine headlines? "Overweight? Eat less, exercise more!" The writers are correct, you know. Diet and exercise are the keys to achieving and maintaining a healthy body weight. Unfortunately, prescribing diet and exercise as a remedy for out obesity crisis is not enough. In fact, it is as vague as a credit counselor's advice to a nearly bankrupt client to "Earn more and spend less". Good advice, of course, but short on the specifics. How about an action plan?... A strategy? Here it is! A strategy almost anyone can understand, follow and share with others that will give specific actions to the simple prescription to "Eat less, exercise more". This is Diet and Exercise: Uncomplicated! Simple. Understandable. Effective. You'll read this entire book in ninety minutes. You'll have a good overall grasp of the specific diet and exercise strategy within the first eighteen pages. It will change your life. Diet and Exercise: Uncomplicated! You can do this.

Don Troiani's Civil War Militia and Volunteers

By: Don Troiani

In the world of historical painting, Don Troiani stands alone, universally acclaimed for the accuracy, drama, and detail of his depictions of America's past. In Don Troiani's Regiments and Uniforms of the Civil War, first released in 2002, the artist turned his brush to the units and uniforms of the War between the States. Through Troiani's careful reconstructions and the accompanying text, the book offers one of the most comprehensive looks at Civil War uniforms ever undertaken. In addition to the full volume in hard cover, Stackpole Books now presents four handsome, individually bound paperbacks, each covering different branches of service and types of soldier. State militias were among the first troops to respond to the outbreak of the Civil War. Those who answered the call to arms represented a cross-section of the country, both North and South, and the uniforms of these volunteers reflected their home regions and, in many cases, national origins. In these photographs and paintings, Troiani conveys the rich diversity of Civil War militia and captures the uniqueness of their garb and gear.
