Can traumatic life events cause depression? Studies generally point to a connection between adverse life events & depression. However, establishing a causal rather than associative connection, the key concern of this 2004 book, is more problematic. What neurobiological changes may be induced by stress & depression, & to what extent do these changes correspond? The authors structure their examination around three major themes: the pathophysiological role of stress in depression; whether or not a subtype of depression exists that is particularly stress-inducible; &, finally, how best to diagnose & treat depression in relation to its biological underpinnings. ...

This is the story of one of the most important strikes in labour history revealing the significance & truth of what actually happened. In July 1888, fourteen hundred women & girls employed by the matchmakers Bryant & May walked out of their East End factory & into the history books. Louise Raw gives us a challenging new interpretation of events proving that the women themselves, not celebrity socialists like Annie Besant, began it. She provides unequivocal evidence to show that the matchwomen greatly influenced the Dock Strike of 1889, which until now was thought to be the key event of new unionism, & repositions them as the mothers of the modern labour movement. Returning to the stories of the women themselves, & by interviewing their relatives today, Raw is able to construct a new history which challenges existing accounts of the strike itself & radically alters the accepted history of the labour movement in Britain. ...

Along the way he would go on a joyride with Kinshasa`s feral children, fend off its women desperate for an escape route, & travel with an Indian businessman hunting for his fortune. ...
