＜p＞＜em＞＜strong＞It is the most complex and mysterious object in the universe. Covered by a dull grey membrane, it resembles a gigantic, convoluted fungus. Its inscrutability has captivated scientists, philosophers and artists for centuries. It is, of course, the human brain.＜/strong＞＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞With the help of science we can now begin to understand the extraordinary complexity of the brain's circuits: we can see which nerve cells generate electricity as we fall in love, tell a lie or dream of a lottery win.

He also tells us how to boost our intelligence, how to tap into creative powers we never knew we had, how to break old habits and keep our brain fit and active as we enter old age.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The human mind is all we have to help us to understand it.

＜p＞In our century, the subject of time has become an area of serious inquiry for science. Theories that contain time as a simple quantity form the basis of our understanding of many scientific disciplines, yet the debate rages on: why does there seem to be a direction to time, an arrow of time pointing from past to future?＜/p＞ ＜p＞In this authoritative and accessible ＜em＞Sunday Times＜/em＞ bestseller, physical chemist Dr Peter Coveney and award-winning science journalist Dr Roger Highfield demonstrate that the common sense view of time agrees with the most advanced scientific theory. Time does in fact move like an arrow, shooting forward into what is genuinely unknown, leaving the past immutably behind. The authors make their case by exploring three centuries of science, offering bold reinterpretations of Newton’s mechanics, Einstein’s special and general theories of relativity, quantum mechanics, and advancing the insights of chaos theory. In their voyage through science the authors link apparently irreconcilable subjects, from Einstein’s obsession with causality to chaos theory, from Marvell’s winged chariot to that Monday morning feeling.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Finally, drawing together the various interpretations of time, they describe a novel way to give it a sense of direction.

＜p＞Based on the combined works and extensive knowledge of Jan de Vries, Dr Carl Heede and Marie-Louise Schicht, this book provides guidelines on how to treat diseases associated with modern society. The author suggests that many of the diseases must be addressed in a new way - in treating twenty-first century diseases, a twenty-first century approach is needed. At the same time, de Vries reminds us of the great scientific pioneers of the past whi understood and used the gift s of nature to alleviate human suffering. He explores the possibility of going back to the grass roots of medicine in order to regain good health. Healing in the 21st century will be an eye-opener for those working in the medical profession. The author demonstrates that a multi-disciplinary approach, combining orthodox and conventional, old and new, medicine is not only possible but necessary.

This book provides an in-depth and detailed description of each remedy, together with case histories relating to each one to help the reader appreciate how they may be put into practice. The descriptions and cases have been compiled from the Bach Remedy Newsletter, originally edited by Nora Weeks, Dr Bach's successor and close companion.

＜p＞For more than half a century, Thomas Szasz has devoted much of his career to a radical critique of psychiatry. His latest work, ＜em＞Psychiatry: The Science of Lies,＜/em＞ is a culmination of his life’s work: to portray the integral role of deception in the history and practice of psychiatry. Szasz argues that the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness stands in the same relationship to the diagnosis and treatment of bodily illness that the forgery of a painting does to the original masterpiece. Art historians and the legal system seek to distinguish forgeries from originals. Those concerned with medicine, on the other handーphysicians, patients, politicians, health insurance providers, and legal professionalsーtake the opposite stance when faced with the challenge of distinguishing everyday problems in living from bodily diseases, systematically authenticating nondiseases as diseases. The boundary between disease and nondiseaseーgenuine and imitation, truth and falsehoodーthus becomes arbitrary and uncertain.＜/p＞ ＜p＞There is neither glory nor profit in correctly demarcating what counts as medical illness and medical healing from what does not. Individuals and families wishing to protect themselves from medically and politically authenticated charlatanry are left to their own intellectual and moral resources to make critical decisions about human dilemmas miscategorized as "mental diseases" and about medicalized responses misidentified as "psychiatric treatments." Delivering his sophisticated analysis in lucid prose and with a sharp wit, Szasz continues to engage and challenge readers of all backgrounds.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
