In this groundbreaking
book, Dr Louann
Brizendine describes the
uniquely flexible
structure of the female
brain and its constant,
dynamic state of change -
the key difference that
separates it from that of
the male - and reveals
how women think, what
they value, how they
communicate, and whom
they'll love. She also
reveals the neurological
explanations behind
why... * A woman
remembers fights that a
man insists never
happened... * Thoughts
about sex enter a woman's
brain perhaps once every
couple of days, but
mayenter a man's brain up
to once every minute.. *
A woman's brain goes on
high alert during
pregnancy - and stays
that way long after
giving birth... * A woman
over 50 is more likely to
initiate divorce than a
man... * Women tend to
know what people are
feeling, while men can't
spot an emotion unless
someone cries or
threatens them with
bodily harm! Accessible,
fun and compelling, and
based on more than three
decades of research,
The Female Brain will
help women to better
understand themselves -
and the men in their
lives.

For decades, Dr. Jeffrey
Bland has been on the
cutting edge of
Functional Medicine,
which seeks to pinpoint
and prevent the cause of
illness, rather than
treat its symptoms.
Managing chronic diseases
accounts for three
quarters of our total
healthcare costs,
because were masking
these illnesses with
pills and temporary
treatments, rather than
addressing their
underlying causes, he
argues. Worse, only
treating symptoms leads
us down the path of
further illness. In The
Disease Delusion, Dr.
Bland explains what
Functional Medicine is
and what it can do for
you. While advances in
modern science have
nearly doubled our
lifespans in only four
generations, our quality
of life has not reached
its full potential.
Outlining the reasons why
we suffer chronic
diseases from asthma and
diabetes to obesity,
arthritis and cancer to a
host of other ailments,
Dr. Bland offers
achievable,
science-based solutions
that can alleviate these
common conditions and
offers a roadmap for a
lifetime of wellness.

Despite all the
breakthrough drugs
designed to avoid heart
attack despite statins,
betablockers, ACE
inhibitors and more heart
disease remains
prevalent. Are we missing
something? The answer is
yes. But the substance
we're missing is not new
and not a surprise to
many experts in the
field. For decades,
scientists and medical
researchers have known
about a common mineral
that can effectively
combat many heart-related
conditions. And unlike
the pharmaceuticals now
in use, this supplement
has nodangerous side
effects. In MAGNIFICENT
MAGNESIUM,
world-renowned
cardiologist, Dr. Dennis
Goodman, shines a
spotlight on magnesium,
the mineral that can
maximise your heart
health. The author begins
by explaining the role
that magnesium plays in
many life processes and
exploring how a
deficiency of this
substance can lead to
serious health issues,
including muscle cramps,
nausea, fatigue,
depression, anxiety,
headache, insomnia and
heart failure. He then
details magnesium's
astounding heart-healthy
benefits, along with the
additional advantages it
provides in reversing
osteoporosis and
decreasing the risk of
type 2 diabetes. Since
all magnesium is not
equal, MAGNIFICENT
MAGNESIUM offers clear
instructions for finding
the most effective
magnesium supplements
available and using them
to greatest effect. The
author closes by
examining why this simple
supplement has been
overlooked for so many
years. Many drugs are
designed to relieve the
symptoms of heart
disease, but none of
them eliminates the root
cause of the problem. In
MAGNIFICENT MAGNESIUM,
you will discover how a
simple, all-natural
mineral can help you
regain control of your
health and improve the
function of your heart.

Born in poverty in India,
Jiddu Krishnamurti
(1895-1986) became a
leading spiritual and
philosophical thinker
whose ideas continue to
influence us today.
George Bernard Shaw
declared that he was the
most beautiful human
being he had ever seen
and Aldous Huxley was one
of his close friends.
Whether debating politics
with Nehru, discussing
theories with Rupert
Sheldrake and Iris
Murdoch, or challenging
his students not to take
his words at face value,
Krishnamurti engaged
fully with every aspect
of life. He is regarded
by many modern religious
figures as a great
teacher, an
extraordinary individual
with revolutionary
insights; Joseph
Campbell, Alan Watts,
Eckhart Tolle and Deepak
Chopra are all indebted
to his writings.

Meet the ninety year old
doctor, who, with the
aid of a few simple
exercises, is still
practising medicine. His
is just one of the
incredible stories brain
expert Norman Doidge
tells as he reveals our
brain's remarkable
ability to repair itself
through the power of
positive thought. In The
Brain That Changes
Itself Doidge introduces
us to the fascinating
stories at the cutting
edge of the brain science
and the emerging
discipline of
'neuroplasticity'. We
meet the stroke victim
who unable to feed or
dress himself learned to
move and talk again, the
woman with a rare brain
condition that left her
feeling as though she was
perpetually falling but
who through a series of
exercises rewired her
brain to overcome this
and the maverick
scientists over turning
centuries of assumptions
about the brain and it's
capacity for renewal.
Doidge shows how their
incredible work is
helping the blind to see,
the deaf to hear and
causing Nobel laureates
to rethink our model of
the brain. This
remarkable book will
leave you with a sense of
wonder at the
capabilities of the human
brain and the power to
change which lies within
all of us.
