Agriculture and EU Environmental Law
Agriculture and EU Environmental Law
This book critically examines the development and current structure of European Union agri-environmental measures at a substantive level. Examining the measures in an integrated manner, showing how they interrelate linking different aspects of European Union agricultural law and policy, this volume examines the legislation adopted at European Union level as well as the impact of particular national measures to implement that legislation. Where appropriate, comparisons are drawn between the manner in which European Union legislation has been implemented among various Member States. Critically assessing European Union and national measures, in the light of other policy pressures such as the influence of world trade agreements and the political pressures exerted by the agricultural sector within the national legal systems of individual Member States, this volume is a valuable resource for academics researching and practitioners working in the areas of European Union environmental and agricultural law.

The Hunt for Billy Jack
The Hunt for Billy Jack
Jim is an army veteran who has only been retired for six months when he receives a shocking call from Samuel Littlebear, the father of one of his former combat team members. Samuel’s son, Billy, is two weeks late returning from a Canadian fishing trip and he asks Jim’s help in finding him. Without the name of the camp ground or the lake where Billy might be fishing, Jim contacts seven former team members to assist with the monumental task of tracking down Billy somewhere within Canada’s thousands of miles of vast wilderness. Customs shows that Billy entered Canada, but never returned back into the United States. After Canadian officials fail to locate Billy or his vehicle, Jim and his team gather as much information as they can and leave for Canada. With instructions from Billy’s father to bring him home dead or alive, the men know their mission will be difficult. As they head north and pledge not to leave Canada until they find their military brother, none of the men have any idea they are about to uncover a dark plot that will change everything. In this gripping mystery, a retired elite army combat team travels into Canada to search for a former team member after he goes missing during a fishing trip.

Quantum Body
Quantum Body
Joining forces with two leading scientists, New York Times bestselling author Deepak Chopra offers a quantum leap for improving our physical and mental health. In an unprecedented collaboration between three of today’s most powerful minds, Deepak Chopra, M.D., teams up with physicist Jack Tuszynski, Ph.D., and endocrinologist Brian Fertig, M.D., to bring readers a visionary work that delves into the innovative world of quantum science and shows how unlocking its secrets can revolutionize how we live and age—and, ultimately, how we can eradicate disease. The key is the quantum body. Unlike our physical body, which is subject to aging, injury, and decay, the quantum body exists on a sub-atomic level and is the infinite, invisible source of everyday reality that affects your thoughts, feelings, sensations, and biological responses. Without your quantum body, there is no physical body. And this lack of awareness of the most crucial part of ourselves negatively impacts our lives every day. Through a powerful combination of prescriptive exercises and innovative research into the quantum world, the authors unveil seven breakthroughs that will revolutionize the future of everyone’s well-being. Central to this revolution is a groundbreaking understanding of metabolism—the way our cells process energy—that promises to challenge our understanding of modern medicine as we know it. Though all too familiar in the physical world, Alzheimer’s, type 2 diabetes, cancer, and heart disease do not exist at the fundamental level of quantum reality. By harnessing the power of the quantum body, we can significantly improve our physical and mental well-being, including supporting healthy cell, tissue, and organ function, boosting immunity, promoting mental resilience, and expanding our understanding of what it means to live a happy and purposeful life. In this groundbreaking book, Chopra, Tuszynski, and Fertig show you the way by unveiling the “real” reality of your body and mind as never before and providing a vision for a tomorrow that is already here.
