In this generously illustrated book, world-renowned Yale art historian Robert Farris Thompson gives us the definitive account of tango, " the fabulous dance of the past hundred years–and the most beautiful, in the opinion of Martha Graham.”Thompson traces tango’s evolution in the nineteenth century under European, Andalusian-Gaucho, and African influences through its representations by Hollywood and dramatizations in dance halls throughout the world. He shows us tango not only as brilliant choreography but also as text, music, art, and philosophy of life. Passionately argued and unparalleled in its research, its synthesis, and its depth of understanding, Tango: The Art History of Love is a monumental achievement.

„Kiedy nie wiesz co, jak i gdzie; przepisz jod, on to wie”. Niewielu ludzi – wliczając w to lekarzy – zdaje sobie sprawę, jak ważny dla naszego zdrowia jest jod. Oto najważniejsze korzyści z suplememtacji: •zapobieganie nowotworom •zdrowe piersi • optymalizowanie funkcji tarczycy • zdrowa prostata •zapobieganie otyłości i pomoc w walce z nadwagą •rozwój mózgu i zapobieganie upośledzeniu umysłowemu u dzieci •wsparcie układu odpornościowego • zapobieganie chorobie Parkinsona i innym schorzeniom mózgu. Większość ludzi nie spożywa wystarczających ilości jodu, a nawet jeśli im się to udaje, czynniki środowiskowe nie pozwalają ich organizmom właściwie go wykorzystywać. Efektem jest epidemia niedoczynności tarczycy, otyłości, dysplazji sutka, nowotworów hormonozależnych, niepełnosprawności rozwojowych u dzieci i wielu innych schorzeń, którym można by zapobiec.
