ASPIRIN : THE REMARKABLE STORY OF A WONDER DRUG |
 |
页数: 335 到书日期: 2004-9-21 上传日期: 2004-9-21 |
中文概要:
英文简介: Throughout the world we pop more than 200 billion of these little white pills every year. Aspirin is effective not only against everyday ailments, such as headaches and fever, but also as a preventative treatment for heart attacks, strokes, and even some types of cancers. Add to this its beneficiary role in a host of other conditions from Alzheimer’s to gum disease, and you have a medicine of unparalleled importance to humanity, not to mention big business. Yet until 1971 we did not even know how Aspirin worked. In this fascinating and informative book Diarmuid Jeffreys follows the surprising and dramatic story of the drug from its origins in ancient Egypt, through its industrial development at the end of the nineteenth century and its key role in the great flu pandemic of 1918 to its subsequent exploitation by the pharmaceutical conglomerates.

MIND WIDE OPEN:YOUR BRAIN AND THE NEUROSCIENCE OF EVERYDAY LIFE |
 |
页数: 274 到书日期: 2004-2-9 上传日期: 2004-8-26 |
中文概要: 作者根据经验性的报告,个人陈述和最新的科学发现,从大脑的化学物质,它的结构,它的子程序,以及各个系统之间的互相联系等方面给我们讲述了人类的大脑是如何工作的。100年来,许多人都认为,人们自我认知的最好方法就是躺在长沙发上,讲述自己的童年时代。本书提供了另一种方法,它能像心理治疗,沉思和药物一样增加人们的自我认知。作者参与了一系列注意力测试,学习用改变脑电波的方法来控制电子游戏,同时用一架机器来扫描自己的大脑。通过这种方法,作者探索了:我们如何“读懂”他人,大脑如何处理惊恐事件,爱和性背后的神经化学过程是什么,为什么音乐会使人感动得掉泪,突破性的思想从何而来,等等。
英文简介: Using a mix of experiential reportage, personal storytelling, and fresh scientific discovery, Steven Johnson describes how the brain works—its chemicals, structures, and subroutines—and how these systems connect to the day-to-day realities of individual lives. For a hundred years, he says, many of us have assumed that the most powerful route to self-knowledge took the form of lying on a couch, talking about our child-hoods. The possibility entertained in this book is that you can follow another path, in which learning about the brain’s mechanics can widen one’s self-awareness as powerfully as any therapy or meditation or drug. In Mind Wide Open, Johnson embarks on this path as his own test subject, participating in a battery of attention tests, learning to control video games by altering his brain waves, scanning his own brain with a $2 million fMRI machine, all in search of a modern answer to the oldest of questions: who am I? Along the way, Johnson explores how we “read” other people, how the brain processes frightening events (and how we might rid ourselves of the scars those memories leave), what the neurochemistry is behind love and sex, what it means that our brains are teeming with powerful chemicals closely related to recreational drugs, why music moves us to tears, and where our breakthrough ideas come from. Johnson’s clear, engaging explanation of the physical functions of the brain reveals not only the broad strokes of our aptitudes and fears, our skills and weak-nesses and desires, but also the momentary brain phenomena that a whole human life comprises. Why, when hearing a tale of woe, do we sometimes smile inappropriately, even if we don’t want to? Why does depression make us feel stupid? To read Mid Wide Open is to rethink family histories, individual fates, and the very nature of the self, and to see that brain science is now personally transformative—a valuable tool for better relation-ships and better living.

BANISHING NIGHT TERRORS AND NIGHTMARES: A BREAKTHROUGH PROGRAM TO HEAL THE TRAUMAS THAT SHATTER PEACEFUL SLEEP |
 |
页数: 228 到书日期: 2004-4-19 上传日期: 2004-4-29 |
中文概要:
英文简介: Far more serious than simple “bad dreams,” night terrors are a condition that can be potentially devastating. Affecting both children and adults, night terrors cause sufferers to kick, scream, strike out violently, and injure themselves during the sleep cycle. Sufferers may leave their beds and exit the home without waking, and yet have no recollection of this behavior the next morning. Not surprisingly, those afflicted can experience severe and long-lasting physical and psychological damage—and their parents, siblings, and spouses are often left fearful and exhausted. Written by a longtime victim of night terrors who finally found relief and the highly experienced therapist who helped end his torment, this meticulously researched and compassionate guide provides concrete help and advice for a stressful and surprisingly common disorder. Parents will discover how to help their children understand and resolve their nightmares and Type A night terrors, which typically fade away without professional intervention. Type B disorders, caused by trauma, are more severe and long-lasting, and Carranza and Dill outline the most effective therapeutic approaches, the pros and cons of medication, and the steps sufferers can take to speed their own recovery.

FAITH IN THE FUTURE |
 |
页数: 0 到书日期: 2004-2-16 上传日期: 1900-1-1 |
中文概要:
英文简介: Dr. Harold Koenig was recently interviewed by Newsweek about his book Spirituality in Patient Care and his research in the area of religion and health. He has become the international voice on the subjects of spirituality, health, and aging. In this book he is joined by two other experts on aging and human development. They present a compelling look at one of the most serious issues in today’s society: healthcare in America.
How will we provide quality healthcare to older adults who will need it during the next 30-50 years? Who will provide this care? How will it be funded? How can we establish systems of care now to be in place as demographic and health-related economic pressures mount?
Alongside the sobering reality of the challenges our country faces, there are reasons for optimism. Innovative programs created and maintained by volunteers and religious congregations are emerging as pivotal factors in meeting healthcare needs. Summarizing decades of scientific research and providing numerous inspirational examples and role models, the authors present practical steps that individuals and institutions may emulate for putting faith into action.

中文概要: 亞馬遜五顆星評價﹗
作者出版150多本科學論著,應邀在全國及全世界做過450多場演講
本書並非一般市面上販售的偏頭痛的書。
本書介紹了許多其他內容,是一本對你以及所有與你所關心的人都有益的一本書。 書中介紹了各類頭痛、什麼會引起頭痛及如何控制頭痛的方法。讀者將更了解眩暈、脖子僵硬、竇道充血,以及干擾我們生活的其他常見的問題。同時 本書還將探討一些人性的問題。在人們失意和陷入困境時。該書可引導我們走上捷徑之路。當人們不知道如何擺脫病痛時,就會遭受痛苦的折磨,產生對某些藥的倚 賴;人們就會推卸責任,也會感到內疚。如果你陷入這種困境,我會幫助你走出困境的。 總之,本書是介紹有關控制頭痛的一本書,是關於人們如何失去對偏頭痛的控制能力、又如何恢復控制能力的一本書。如果確實想控制頭痛和其他偏頭痛症狀,我能 幫助你。頭痛是天生病症,但頭痛並不一定要發作。如果治療得當的話,患者在生活會有很大的改變的。(SL)
英文简介: Based on the breakthrough understanding that virtually all headaches are forms of migraine--because migraine is not a specific type of headache, but the built-in mechanism that causes headaches of all kinds, along with neck stiffness, sinus congestion, dizziness, and other problems--Dr. Buchholz’s Heal Your Headache puts headache sufferers back in control of their lives with a simple, transforming program:
Step 1: Avoid the "Quick Fix." Too often painkillers only make matters worse because of the crippling complication known as rebound.
Step 2: Reduce Your Triggers. The crux of the program: a migraine diet that eliminates the foods that push headache sufferers over the top.
Step 3: Raise Your Threshold. When diet and other lifestyle changes aren’t enough, preventive medication can help stay the course.
That’s it: in three steps turn your headache problems around.
