The audio-visual products and series of books of "Nutrition and Dietary Guidance for Chronic Diseases in China" were compiled by the Nutrition and Metabolism Management Branch of the China Association for the Promotion of International Health Care and Nutrition and nine major hospitals. This book describes the relationship between various foods and tumors, and how to eat for tumor patients. Recent studies have proved that environmental factors may be an important factor in the incidence of tumors. Among them, eating habits, insufficient nutrient intake, excessive intake or imbalance between nutrients are all important aspects. The tumors affected by the above factors mainly include esophageal cancer, stomach cancer, liver cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, bladder cancer and lung cancer. The pollutants in the diet, such as aflatoxin, aggravate the lack and imbalance of certain nutrients, thereby enhancing the carcinogenic effect. Nutrient intake is directly related to tumor occurrence, development, treatment effect, quality of life and survival period.

And I am even worried about that here, in the United States right now, about backsliding.” OBIE MOORE, Esq., OLM Advisors LLC, Washington DC “Indeed, Trumplandia should be a welcome addition to any scholar, student or layman’s library, especially in its international edition. If anyone loses sleep over its challenging assertions, then it will have been well worth it.” ERNESTO MORALES HIZON, Ph.D. Candidate in American and Comparative Politics at Claremont Graduate University, Member, Integrated Bar of the Philippines ABOUT THE AUTHOR: TIBERIU DIANU has practiced law in Romania (as a corporate lawyer, judge, senior counselor at the Ministry of Justice, university professor and senior legal researcher), and in the United States (as a legal expert for the judiciary).

This volume is the first collection of essays to focus specifically on how Reformed theology and ecclesiology related to one of the most consequential issues between the Elizabethan Settlement (1559) and the Hanoverian Succession (1714), namely conformity to the Church of England.

In a reflection of how established religion pervaded all aspects of civic life in the early modern world and was sharply contested within both ecclesiastical and political spheres, this volume includes chapters that focus variously on the ecclesio-political, liturgical, and doctrinal aspects of conformity.
