        Roy Ward Baker

        by Geoff Mayer, Brian McFarlane, Neil Sinyard

        This book traces the career of Roy Ward Baker, one of the great survivors of the British film and television industry. He directed the landmark British film Morning Departure (1949), worked at Twentieth Century Fox in Hollywood in the early 1950s where he directed Marilyn Monroe's 'breakthrough' film (Don't Bother to Knock), and followed this with a succession of fine films for Rank, culminating in the best version of the Titanic disaster, A Night to Remember in 1958. Yet within three years he was unable to secure a job in the British film industry and he moved to television series such as The Avengers, The Saint and Minder. Later Baker re-emerged as a major director of science-fiction (Quatermass and the Pit) and horror films (Asylum). Geoff Mayer provides an industrial and aesthetic context in which to understand the interrelationship between a skilled classical director and the transformation of the British film industry in the 1950s. ;

        The Barefoot Doctor

        by Can Xue

        The novel tells of the story about the growth of a barefoot doctor in a village. By means of the experiences of Sister Yi the barefoot doctor, Mi Yi, Hui Ju and other characters, the author manages to expose the real dependence relationship between man and nature, and between man and man, so as to construct a new kind of relationship in the future world from a brand-new perspective with lots of astounding descriptions. The scenes depicted in the novel belong to the future world, the plots, however, firmly stick to the reality. Thus the real and free conceptions in the novel are both down-to-earth and overwhelmingly shocking, from which every ordinary reader can find resonance and gain strength for life in it. Once again, the outlook of philosophy and nature of Can Xue has delicately and simply stood out in the novel in a literary way.

        The second half of your life - a manual

        Tips and strategies for successful ageing

        by Dr. Petra Kiedaisch

        In the middle of our lives, the cards are reshuffled: marriages are divorced, careers are questioned, friendships are ended, questions of meaning are asked, bodies change - and not just hormonally. At the same time, children leave home and parents become carers. From the age of 45, the majority of our population is at the centre of a second upheaval that affects all facets of our lives and leaves us at a loss in many ways. Not only in our daily lives, but also when it comes to planning for our own old age. This guide is designed to help us find our way. It presents the most important information from all areas relevant to a good life after 45. Leading experts from the fields of medicine, nutrition, philosophy, theology, psychology, care, law and finance give recommendations on what to look out for and what tools are needed to get through these challenging years unscathed. Useful checklists round off the articles. The book shows us the unique opportunity to see these challenges not as a crisis but as a source of strength. Not only can we come through this period of our lives healthy and happy, but we can also shape it so that the next age threshold is no longer frightening. During the second phase of adolescence, we lay the foundations for whether and how we will grow older. Be it in terms of health or living together with family and friends. With contributions from: Prof. Dr. Martin Gessmann (philosophy), Dipl. Psych. Claudia KĂŒhner (psychology), Dr Suso Lederle (medicine), Dr Petra Forster (nutrition), Christian Hald, Anja Heine (law), Prof Dr Philipp Schreiber (finance), Prof Dr Thomas Klie (nursing care insurance), Georg Eberhardt (religion).

        Formularium paediatricum

        Prescriptions for children in paediatric practice

        by Edited by Dr. Andreas S. Ziegler, Nadine Metzger and Prof. Dr. Dagmar Fischer. In collaboration with Prof. Dr. Peter Langguth, Dr. Stefan Seyferth and Dr. Norbert Ohem

        When children are ill, there is often a lack of suitable proprietary medicines. With experience and expertise, pharmacies close this gap. In the process, they are often confronted with complex questions before preparing a medicine: Is the dosage right? Which dosage form will be accepted by the child? How do I process the active ingredient in a child-friendly way? Which excipients are suitable? Formularium paediatricum provides answers to these and numerous other questions: ■ 70 monographs on tested standard formulations describe the preparation process step-by-step and explain paediatric specifics in terms of formulation. ■ an annotated list of common paediatric excipients as well as comprehensive explanations for evaluating children‘s formulations help to assess unknown, non-standardised formulations. Whenever it is a case of extemporaneous medicines for children: the Formularium paediatricum assists in the preparation in the pharmacy to succeed safely and confidently.

        Textbook of Korean Medicine

        Medicinal drugs and formulations

        by Dr. Kenny Kuchta, Prof. Dr. Hans Wilhelm Rauwald, Hans Rausch and Dr. Raimund Royer

        The consistent and evidence-based development of Korean medicine in many clinical application areas has significantly improved its international status in recent years. The basis for this development is one of the most important medical books in Korea, the „Donguibogam“, a clinical lexicon of applications compiled about 400 years ago; at that time the traditional work also enjoyed the highest recognition in China. In 2009 it was included in the „Memory of the World“ register of UNESCO. Even now after 400 years, it still serves as a manual for writing prescriptions for many physicians in Korea, and testifies that the understanding of nature and human disease patterns is still current and clinically applicable even in the modern industrialised world. This work provides ■ understanding for Korean medicine, ■ many selected medicinal formulations and their fields of application, ■ the description and evaluation of important traditional single remedies, ■ the corresponding drug monographs with information on analytical testing

        MigrÀne

        by Dr. Peter Hermes

        MigrĂ€ne: eine neue Behandlung fĂŒr einen alten Fluch Wie kann ein kleines Loch im Herzen ein verheerendes MigrĂ€nesyndrom verursachen? Von Dr. Peter Hermes Etwa 15 % der allgemeinen Bevölkerung der „zivilisierten“ Welt leidet unter MigrĂ€ne. Etwa 50 % der Menschen, die unter MigrĂ€ne leiden, werden niemals korrekt diagnostiziert, und nur die HĂ€lfte derer, bei denen eine MigrĂ€ne korrekt diagnostiziert wurde, erhĂ€lt eine geeignete Behandlung. Daher fĂŒhren etwa 75 % aller Menschen, die unter MigrĂ€ne leiden, ein elendes Leben in den Klauen schwerer, bedrĂŒckender Kopfschmerzen, verbringen einen Großteil ihrer Zeit in dunklen RĂ€umen, isoliert von LĂ€rm und Mitmenschen, mĂŒssen sich ĂŒbergeben und versuchen eine „Wunderdroge“ nach der anderen. Wie kann ein kleines Loch im Herzen (PFO) die Ursache dieses Elends sein? Der Autor schildert die Entdeckung des PFO, die moderne Diagnose, die Beziehung zu verschiedenen Arten des Kopfschmerzes sowie sein hĂ€ufiges Vorkommen (40 bis 50 % der Menschen, die unter MigrĂ€ne leiden, haben PFO). Das Buch enthĂ€lt eine ausfĂŒhrliche Diskussion der neuen GerĂ€te, mit denen dieses „Loch“ im Herzen durch einen Eingriff unter lokaler BetĂ€ubung, die weniger als eine Stunde dauert und nur eine Nacht im Krankenhaus erfordert, geschlossen werden kann. Lesen Sie weiter, um die Antwort auf dieses medizinische RĂ€tsel zu finden, das die zivilisierte Welt seit dem Altertum plagt... Dr. Peter Hermes verfĂŒgt ĂŒber einen Abschluss an der Sorbonne, ist Neurologe, der mit fĂŒhrenden medizinischen Zentren und Kopfschmerzkliniken in seiner Heimat Frankreich sowie in Italien, den USA und in Israel zusammen arbeitet. Zusammen mit seinen Kollegen Dr. Anzola, Dr. Onorato und Dr. Santoro konzentriert er sich auf die Beziehung zwischen dem PFO (dem „Loch im Herzen“) und der MigrĂ€ne. Der Autor reist durch die ganze Welt, kĂŒmmert sich um Kranke und Arme in Indien ebenso wie um Reiche und BerĂŒhmte in der Park Avenue in New York, die Beduinen von Vaadi Naaman in Israel und die MigrĂ€nekranken in Tel Aviv. Er teilt seine Zeit zwischen seinen Patienten in Israel und Italien, wo er außerdem ein erfolgreiches Musikfestival leitet.

        Migraines : Un nouveau traitement pour un ancien flĂ©au. Un petit trou dans le cƓur peut ĂȘtre Ă  l’origine du terrible syndrome migraineux ? par Dr. Peter Hermes (Originalement Ă©crit en français) Les migraines touchent Ă  peu prĂšs 15% de la population gĂ©nĂ©rale du monde dit « civilisĂ© ». La moitiĂ© des « migraineux » ne sont pas diagnostiquĂ©s de façon correcte et seulement 50% parmi ceux qui ont reçu un diagnostic correct reçoivent des traitements appropriĂ©s. Donc Ă  peu prĂšs 75% des « migraineux » vivent un enfer au quotidien, isolĂ©s dans des chambres obscures, loin des bruits et des gens, atterrĂ©s par un mal de tĂȘte violent et brutal, en proie Ă  des vomissements, et essayant chaque nouveau mĂ©dicament miraculeux qui vient de sortir sur le marchĂ©. Est-ce possible qu’un tout petit trou dans la paroi cardiaque soit a l'origine de toutes ces misĂšres ? L'auteur vous fait voyager Ă  travers ce processus qui mĂšne Ă  la dĂ©couverte du PFO, et de son diagnostic moderne, et vous explique sa relation avec les divers types de migraine et met en Ă©vidence sa grande frĂ©quence chez les patients (Ă  peu prĂšs 40-50 % des migraineux sont porteurs d'un PFO). Un chapitre entier est dĂ©diĂ© Ă  la description des nouvelles prothĂšses cardiaques dont l’implantation demande seulement une nuit d'hospitalisation et se fait sous anesthĂ©sie locale dans des centres spĂ©cialisĂ©s, et cela en moins d'une heure ! Lisez la suite du livre qui vous apportera des rĂ©ponses, et peut ĂȘtre un soulagement au grand problĂšme de la migraine, qui hante le monde « civilisé » depuis bien longtemps !

        The Other Goddess

        Mary Magdalene and the Goddesses of Eros and Secret Knowledge

        by Dr. Joanna Kujawa

        Is there a lineage of goddesses that claims the evolutionary power of female sexuality? And if so, why were they pushed to the shadows and demeaned as harlots? Was Mary Magdalene one of them, and what were her teachings? Dr. Joanna Kujawa argues that in the process of recovering the healing power of the Goddess we have focused solely on the mother archetype and left out the other Goddess, who is often represented in mythical, historical, and Gnostic sources as wise, mysterious, and in the possession of the healing power of Eros. Learn about Mary Magdalene’s portrayal in the gnostic gospels as a teacher in her own right and Jesus' intimate partner, the possibility of her life as an alchemist in Egypt, and her last years in Southern France. Find out if Mary Magdalene was the same person as Mary the Prophetess of Egypt and her connection to the mysterious Cathars, Black Madonnas, and Knights Templar. Whether looking at Mary Magdalene, Sophia, Aphrodite, Inanna, Hathor, Isis, or the goddesses of esoteric Hinduism, Dr. Kujawa finds the archetype of The Other Goddess-the bearer of the mysteries of sexual alchemy that ends the division between sexuality and spirituality.

        The Eco-Balance on the Plate

        How What We Eat Can Protect the Climate

        by Dr. Malte Rubach

        How much CO₂ is emitted by one serving of spaghetti bolognese? About 1.5 kilograms! This example shows what the meat industry and food logistics mean for the eco-balance of our food. But is it enough to switch to meat-free and dairy-free alternatives or local specialities? Dr. Malte Rubach takes a closer look and reviews our food regime and its impact on our climate. We live in a society influenced by technology and the rising consumption of resources. Rubach argues for a sensible attitude to food and shows what we can still eat with a clear conscience.
