With an introduction by Andrew Solomon'It stands alone in the literature of manic depression for its bravery, brilliance and beauty.' Oliver SacksI was used to my mind being my best friend. Now, all of a sudden, my mind had turned on me: it mocked me for my vapid enthusiasms; it laughed at all of my foolish plans; it no longer found anything interesting or enjoyable or worthwhile.Dr Kay Redfield Jamison is one of the foremost authorities on manic depression (bipolar disorder) - and has experienced its terrors and cruel allure first-hand. While pursuing her career in medicine, she was affected by the same exhilarating highs and catastrophic lows that afflicted many of her patients.

The Rings of Saturn begins as the record of a journey on foot through coastal East Anglia. From Lowestoft to Bungay, Sebald's own story becomes the conductor of evocations of people and cultures past and present: of Chateaubriand, Thomas Browne, Swinburne and Conrad, of fishing fleets, skulls and silkworms.

Sebald is the Joyce of the 21st Century The Times

In this rigorous and supremely honest book Alain de Botton helps us navigate the intimate and exciting - yet often confusing and difficult - experience that is sex. Few of us tend to feel we're entirely normal when it comes to sex, and what we're supposed to be feeling rarely matches up with the reality. This book argues that 21st-century sex is ultimately fated to be a balancing act between love and desire, and adventure and commitment. Covering topics that include lust, fetishism, adultery and pornography, Alain de Botton frankly articulates the dilemmas of modern sexuality, offering insights and consolation to help us think more deeply and wisely about the sex we are, or aren't, having.

Arketype betyder urform, mønster, struktur. Arketypernes sprog er billedligt og symbolsk. Arketyper findes i det kollektive ubevidste. Vi har dermed alle sammen adgang til alle arketyper, men vores opvækst gør, at vi har præferencer for nogle af typerne. Arketyper indeholder al den visdom/viden, hele menneskeheden har haft siden vores oprindelse, og alle arketyper indeholder en sol- og en skyggeside. Arketyperne kommer ikke kun til udtryk i personligheden, men også i forskellige konkrete, menneskelige udtryk, såsom kultur, religion, myter og symboler. Eksempler på sådanne fællesmenneskelige grundformer kan være arketyperne Den store moder, Den åndelige fader og Helten. Nøglen til børns ressourcer og healende udvikling er bevidstgørelse af de arketypiske energier. Symboler er det sprog, der tales i det ubevidste. Symboler er arketypernes sprog. Dets hensigt er at gøre det ubevidste mere bevidst. Marianne Rose Dupont arbejder som integreret psykoterapeut, spædbarnsterapeut og sandplayterapeut. Denne bog beskriver, hvorledes man ved hjælp af forholdsvis enkle redskaber kan skabe sund grobund for vækst og trivsel hos børn.

"Oral medicin og patologi" er en vigtig del af tandlægens image som medicinalperson. De enkelte lidelser er forsøgt beskrevet i kort form efter samme koncept: definition, ætiologi, symptomer, klinik, diagnose, behandling og differentialdiagnoser. I enkelte tilfælde er der lidt overlapning, så en lidelse omtales to gange under forskellige navne.Der er medtaget et righoldigt billedmateriale, som vil lette klinikerens mulighed for hurtig diagnostik, men som også opfylder en del kollegaers ønske om at anskueliggøre de forskellige lidelser for patienten.Det er mit håb, at bogens form med tekst og tilhørende billeder i samme opslag vil lette klinikerens brug af bogen og at den vil blive en uundværlig del af klinikkens bibliotek.

Bogen kommer hele vejen rundt om sklerose; omkring det fysiske og psykiske velbefindende samt omkring de sociale aspekter af sundhed og sygdom. Mange faktorer spiller en rolle ved sklerose, f. eks. mangel på sollys og dermed D-vitamin, en kost med mange mættede fedtstoffer fra kød og mælkeprodukter, kviksølvbelastning fra amalgamfyldningerne i vores tænder, mangel på B12 -vitamin, stress og kemikaliebelastning. Læseren får redskaber til at bremse sklerose med ernæring, kosttilskud, naturmedicin og alternative behandlinger samt hjælp til at skabe nye helbredsfremmende vaner. At det konventionelle sundhedssystem ignorerer betydningen af kost og kosttilskud og er afvisende overfor nye behandlingsformer, har store personlige og samfundsmæssige omkostninger. Her er desuden inspiration til at tackle den krise, det er at få en så alvorlig diagnose samt til at bevare sundhed og livsglæde. Uanset om du har sklerose, er pårørende, arbejder i sundhedssektoren, er alternativ behandler eller interesserer dig for sundhedspolitik, er der viden og inspiration i ”Rundt om sklerose”. Også mennesker med en anden sygdom, hvor inflammation eller degeneration er involveret, kan hente hjælp her.
