Recuperar tu energía está sólo a cinco pasos de distanciaCafés y bebidas energéticas para funcionar, complementos alimenticios para suplir carencias, la pastilla para dormir y un sinfín de series y cotilleos para paliar una existencia cada dia mas vacia Todos ellos conforman el arsenal de herramientas que nos sostienen a duras penas mediante parches, pero que, a la larga, pasan factura. La verdadera energia, la que hace que te sientas bien, la que te permite disfrutar tanto de tu vida personal como profesional y, sobre todo, la que recarga tu vitalidad y prolonga tu longevidad, se encuentra a tan solo cinco pasos: entorno natural, actividad fisica, alimentacion, relaciones sociales de calidad y salud mental.La ciencia cada vez otorga un peso mayor a los habitos en nuestra calidad de vida y salud general. Sin embargo, la gran mayoria de las personas todavia no son conscientes de que las rutinas (alimentacion, ejercicio, sueño) afectan directamente a nuestra energia, salud y longevidad.Tal y como describe Jesus Herenas en este libro, tienes la capacidad de redirigir el rumbo de tu bienestar con cambios minimos pero esenciales: lo unico que necesitas es una guia que te revele las practicas mas eficaces y adecuadas para tus objetivos.Para ello, con un tono cercano y a veces crudo, Jesus Herenas derriba muchas de las creencias arraigadas que nos alejan de una vida mas sencilla y natural, y nos explica como gestionar los cinco ambitos que en mayor medida afectan a nuestro nivel de energia y a nuestra salud.

**THE FIRST AND ONLY BIOGRAPHY OF DUTCH FORMULA ONE WUNDERKIND MAX VERSTAPPEN, CHARISMATIC WINNER OF THE 2021 FORMULA ONE TITLE** Few drivers have ever shaken up Formula 1 in quite the same way as Max Verstappen. Already the youngest competitor in F1 history, having made his breakthrough in 2015 aged just 17, his debut race for Red Bull at the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix saw him become the youngest driver ever to win a race, achieve a podium finish or even lead a lap. As the son of F1 legend Jos and elite-level kart driver Sophie Kumpen, Max was destined to be a racing driver. And since that headline-grabbing debut, he has continued to make an indelible impression on the sport, courting criticism and plaudits in equal measure. Sports journalist James Gray seeks to understand the outspoken nature and aggressive driving style that make Verstappen a must-watch before, during and after races, and why his Dutch fans, who turn up to cheer him on in their orange-clad droves, are quite so fanatical.

The comprehensive guide provides the lacemaker with step-by-step instructions and illustrations on the techniques which make up this type of lacemaking. Divided into ten easy-to-follow sections, alternative methods of construction are closely examined and explained. Bridget M.

Additional information is provided on picots, tallikes and venetian cords, plaits and braids.

From the co-author of two previous Batsford lace titles comes a collection of 50 stunning lace patterns that showcase the delicate beauty of this ever-popular lace. Traditionally, the ornate braids that make up Milanese lace were used in long, convoluted floral patterns, but they are also easily adapted for use in more modern designs. This new book of patterns contains both traditional and modern examples, and the author experiments with different decorative styles - for example, Celtic lettering that is vibrant with the colours of original Celtic art, taken into a new dimension with the addition of Milanese braids. Exquisite miniatures in a Japanese style will be a challenge even for the most experienced lacemaker: the smallest patterns are not necessarily the easiest! Other patterns include flowers, scrolls, leaves and butterflies, plus some more unusual designs: dragons, a picture depicting the legend of Arion and the dolphin, and a spectacular piece featuring the mythical seven-headed Hydra. There is a good range of patterns, including both prickings and photographs of the finished pieces, suitable for abilities ranging from beginner to advanced.
