        Sleep Disorders, Second Edition

        by Mary Brophy Marcus and Christine Adamec

        Sleep is as important to the human body as food and water. Recent research suggests that those who get less than the recommended eight hours a night are more likely to become sick and die sooner than their well-rested counterparts. Though there is much about sleep that remains a mystery to scientists, there is mounting evidence of health risks as more and more Americans cut back on needed rest and bad sleep habits are being passed on to children. Sleep Disorders, Second Edition is a concise guide to sleep and sheds helpful light on how it functions and how it can be disrupted. Coverage includes sleep disorders such as insomnia, snoring, sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, narcolepsy, and sleepwalking. Sleep’s relationship to chronic illnesses is also discussed. Chapters include: What Is Sleep? Insomnia Sleep Apnea Movement Disorders Narcolepsy Childhood Sleep Disorders

        Good Evening, Good Night

        The cultural history of sleep

        by Karoline Walter

        What we associate with sleep is shaped by the culture we live in. Whereas the God of the Bible never sleeps, the sinful human falls asleep every night and is thus marked as an inferior being. In the Age of Enlightenment, (too much) sleep was considered a waste of strength, which could otherwise be used to change the world. These days, sleep seems to be subject to the same tenets of usefulness as everything else and is seen to assist with the optimization of one’s self. However, culture and technology also influence how we sleep: for example, the constant availability of light, the modern conditions of work and all sorts of distractions have meant that we no longer follow our natural rhythm – a first sleep before midnight and a second sleep after a longer period of wakefulness, during which we may be active. In “Good Evening, Good Night”, Karoline Walter uses numerous examples from history, literature and research to illustrate how sleep and sleeping have changed across cultures and eras – an entertaining read, certainly nothing to put you to sleep.

        Tagebuchaufzeichnungen und Briefe

        by Maxie Wander, Fred Wander, Fred Wander

        »Ein Leben reicht nicht aus, alle guten Bücher zu lesen, alle Menschen kennenzulernen, alle Länder, die ich sehen möchte.« Maxie Wanders Aufzeichnungen aus den Jahren 1964 bis 1968 beeindrucken: Ob sie gemeinsam mit ihrem Mann durch die französische Metropole streift, in billigen Hotels wohnt und das »berühmte Pariser Licht« entdeckt oder sich mit den alltäglichen Aufgaben zu Hause, mit den Kindern, den vielen Freunden, der eigenen Arbeit befaßt – ihr Thema ist die »Suche nach einer neuen Art zu leben, anders zu leben, aufrichtig und schöpferisch zu leben«, wie es im Vorwort von Fred Wander heißt. Maxie Wanders Briefe und Tagebuchnotizen zeichnen das Bild einer klugen, neugierigen, impulsiven Frau, die das Leben mit Leidenschaft betrieb.
