A groundbreaking and fascinating investigation into the transformative effects of exercise on the brain, from the bestselling author and renowned psychiatrist John J. Ratey, MD.

Did you know you can beat stress, lift your mood, fight memory loss, sharpen your intellect, and function better than ever simply by elevating your heart rate and breaking a sweat? The evidence is incontrovertible: Aerobic exercise physically remodels our brains for peak performance.

In Spark, John J. Ratey, M.D., embarks upon a fascinating and entertaining journey through the mind-body connection, presenting startling research to prove that exercise is truly our best defense against everything from depression to ADD to addiction to aggression to menopause to Alzheimer's.

Filled with amazing case studies (such as the revolutionary fitness program in Naperville, Illinois, which has put this school district of 19,000 kids first in the world of science test scores), Spark is the first book to explore comprehensively the connection between exercise and the brain. It will change forever the way you think about your morning run -- -or, for that matter, simply the way you think.

From Babylon to Timbuktu
Format: Paperback
What I like about this book is how it truly I must say base all it information on facts and allows the reader to search for themselves that truth. Very informative reading! There are many books such as this, which goes along with what the authour here is stating. A well written and well research issue, I have yet to come across. This book invites anyone, no matter of race or ethnicity, to see the real, yet truth behind ones identity as respects where He/She came from when it comes to the lineage of Noah's three sons: Ham, Shem, Japheth. It breaks it down using Biblical though logic to determine who, when, where, how, the races came about. A Must Read!!! Let truth be told... who the true sons of Noah (Ham, Shem, Japheth) when it relates to my culture (as a Negro or Hebrew Israelite). What's interesting about this book is how it goes into by way of explaining, through a series of logics base on facts, showing you the differention between the two Sons of Noah: Ham and Shem (who were actually of non-colour), according to their identity. The Bible is clear on this fact, however, the "myth" that Ham was "curse" as a race which lead to their skin colour turning Black, which lead to the mass genocide and reason for slavery. It is rather interesting how many miss the two of Noah's Sons: Ham & Shem being of non-colour and that Yeshua (Jesus) was actually from the line of Shem, therefore, being a person of non-colour... According to the actual fact presented, HAM in the Bible had four (4) sons: Cush (Ethiopia), Mizraim (Egyptians), Phut (Libya -N.Africans), Canaan (S.Africa). These were the progenitour of the Dark Races, NOT the Negroes!(Genesis 10:6) The Negroes were from Shem, who were the Hebrew Israelites! However, the progenitours of Japheth was the Greek, Romans, Europeans or the Caucasians. According to Alexander Hamilton Bible Dictionary pg. 330, defines HAM: "The youngest son of Noah born probably about 96 years, before the flood. One of the 8 person to live during the flood. He became the progenitor of the dark races, Not the Negroes, but the Egyptians, Ethiopians, Libyans, and Canaanites." A MUST READ!!!
