It is February 1983, and Berlin is a divided city – a miles-long barricade separating east from west. But the city isn’t the only thing that is divided. Ada, almost 16, lives with her mother and grandmother among the rebels, punkers, and immigrants of Kreuzberg, just west of the wall. Stefan, 18, lives east with his brooding grandmother in a faceless apartment bunker of Friedrichshain, his telescope pointed toward freedom. Bound by love and separated by circumstance, their only chance lies in a high-risk escape.
But will Stefan find the courage to leap? Will Ada keep waiting for the boy she has only seen four times a year for as long as she can remember? Or will forces beyond their control stand in their way?
BURN: NEW RESEARCH BLOWS THE LID OFF HOW WE REALLY BURN CALORIES, STAY HEALTHY, AND LOSE WEIGHT
Author:Herman Pontzer
Publisher:Avery
Call Number:612.300 / P1
Location:Area C
Synopsis:
One of the foremost researchers in human metabolism reveals surprising new science behind food and exercise. We burn 2,000 calories a day. And if we exercise and cut carbs, we’ll lose more weight. Right? Wrong. In this paradigm-shifting book, Herman Pontzer reveals for the first time how human metabolism really works so that we can finally manage our weight and improve our health.
Pontzer’s groundbreaking studies with hunter-gatherer tribes show how exercise doesn’t increase our metabolism. Instead, we burn calories within a very narrow range: nearly 3,000 calories per day, no matter our activity level. At the same time, we must exercise to keep our body systems and signals functioning optimally, even if it won’t make us thinner. Revealing, irreverent, and always entertaining, Pontzer has written a book that will change how you eat, move, and live.

THE TRUTH ABOUT FAT: WHY OBESITY IS NOT THAT SIMPLE
Author:Anthony Warner
Publisher:Oneworld
Call Number:616.300 / W1
Location:Area C
Synopsis:
There is an unsolved puzzle at the heart of nutrition science. Recent studies show that we are eating less sugar, less fat, fewer carbs and fewer overall calories. In fact, the only thing we’re eating more of is fruit and vegetables. At the same time, 63% of adults are now overweight, with 27% of them considered obese.
It is clearly not a matter of discipline. Everyone has a friend who has cut out sugar, another who doesn’t eat fat, and probably a third who cares lovingly for their gut microbes. But the blame always seems to be shifting from one food group to another, and the only thing that stays consistent is the number of people struggling with their weight.
The author has decided to get to the bottom of it once and for all.
