A celebrated foreign policy expert and key impeachment witness reveals how declining opportunity has set America on the grim path of modern Russia—and draws on her personal journey out of poverty, as well as her unique perspectives as an historian and policy maker, to show how we can return hope to our forgotten places.   Fiona Hill grew up in a world of terminal decay. The last of the local mines had closed, businesses were shuttering, and despair was etched in the faces around her. Her father urged her to get out of their blighted corner of northern England: “There is nothing for you here, pet,” he said.     The coal-miner’s daughter managed to go further than he ever could have dreamed. She studied in Moscow and at Harvard, became an American citizen, and served three U.S. Presidents. But in the heartlands of both Russia and the United States, she saw troubling reflections of her hometown and similar populist impulses. By the time she offered her brave testimony in the first impeachment inquiry of President Trump, Hill knew that the desperation of forgotten people was driving American politics over the brink—and that we were running out of time to save ourselves from Russia’s fate. In this powerful, deeply personal account, she shares what she has learned, and shows why expanding opportunity is the only long-term hope for our democracy.

Keimpflanzen liefern deutlich mehr Vitamine und Spurenelemente als ausgewachsene Pflanzen, wirken nachweislich gegen Krebs und bereichern die Küche mit neuen Geschmackserlebnissen. Die Spitzengastronomie hat sie bereits für sich entdeckt, und in den USA sind sie als „Health-Heroes“ im Handel erhältlich. Diese Pflanzen, die auf Erde oder anderem Substrat wachsen und Licht benötigen, werden nach 1–2 Wochen geerntet, sobald sich mindestens ein richtiges Blatt gebildet hat. Sie können aus unbehandelten Samen in der kleinsten Wohnung gezogen werden, auch im Winter in der Stadt. Ihr Geschmack ist intensiver und ihr Vitamingehalt höher als der von Sprossen. Sie bieten eine Vielfalt an Texturen, Farben und Aromen, die frisch in Salaten, Suppen oder Rührei verwendet werden können, sowie in einer Vielzahl von Gourmet-Gerichten. Keimpflanzen sind wahre Gesundheitsbomben: Sie senken Cholesterin und Blutdruck, wirken entzündungshemmend und beugen Krankheiten wie Diabetes und verschiedenen Krebsarten vor. Ihre Keimpflanzen enthalten 20–50 mal höhere Konzentrationen an Anti-Krebs-Wirkstoffen als das ausgewachsene Gemüse. Ein kleines Glas Weizengras-Saft liefert mehr Nährstoffe als ein Kilogramm Blattgemüse. 20 verschiedene Keimpflanzen, von Kresse und Senfsaat bis hin zu Amarant und Fenchel, werden ausführlich vorgestellt, ergänzt durch zahlreiche Rezepte.
