        The Supernatural Murders

        American Writer, Irish Rover, Hollywood Brawler

        by Jonathan Goodman (author)

        This anthology of thirteen true crime stories includes the mysterious slaying of Charles Walton, who was found slashed and pierced to death in an area notorious for its associations with black magic; the murder of Eric Tombe, whose body was located because of a recurring dream in which his mother saw Eric down a well; the terrorizing of Hammersmith, London, in the early nineteenth century by the nocturnal appearance of a “ghost”; the Salem witchcraft trials; the murder of Rasputin, who was believed by some in Russia to be a miracle worker and by others to be a dangerous charlatan; a Scottish tale in which evidence given by the ghost of the victim was allowed at the murderer’s trial; and the bizarre goings-on at 112 Ocean Avenue, Amityville, New York, where Ronnie DeFeo Jr. murdered his entire family—the new occupants were subjected to all manner of sinister events, including the presence of poltergeists, or were they?

        The Savoy

        The Rise of a Family

        by Maxim Wahl

        I. 1932: the Savoy Hotel is London’s premier address. For thirty years, it has been run by the Wilders. When the family patriarch has a stroke, his son Henry believes his moment has come, but his father has different plans: he entrusts Violet, his illegitimate granddaughter, with the management of the hotel. Violet is torn. On the one hand, her dream of making a career as one of the first women in radio seems to be coming true; on the other, she’s waited her whole life for the chance to be accepted by her family …   II. 1936: Violet is running the Savoy. In addition to her never-ending duties, she is weighed down by a crushing sense of guilt. She blames herself for driving her beloved John to suicide. Desperately lonely, she longs for a bit of happiness. A French nobleman seems to give her this, and she accepts his invitation to the Olympic Games. For Violet, Berlin proves to be a brutal experience, which in reality serves to distract her from the mysterious goings-on at the Savoy Hotel.   III. 1940: Against Violet’s will, the Savoy has become a hotbed of political intrigue. Still, she does her best to offer her international guests the luxury to which they are accustomed. This balancing act is put to the test when the British king arrives as a guest: Violet is expecting a child with Max Hammersmith, and his wife, Susan, is the lady-in-waiting accompanying the visitors from Buckingham Palace. Soon, however, these problems fade in the face of political reality: the Second World War is raging, and even the Savoy Hotel may fall victim to German air raids.

        The Medical Miscellany

        by Manoj Ramachandran

        With the average medical textbook now over one thousand pages long and newspapers daily devoting many columns to health issues, no individual can know more than the bare essentials of the subject. What better then than to dip into a small book covering only the amazing, the bizarre, and the amusing? This fascinating collection of medically-related items will inform, tantalize, and infuriate you by turns. How can you tell if a murder victim was left- or right-handed? How many euphemisms can you think of for unmentionable parts of the body? What has chickenpox got to do with chickens? Who has played Doc Holliday in the movies? Does a famous doctor share your birthday? We challenge you not to find something unexpected on every page nor to smile, or groan, at almost every entry. How much do you know already? How much will you be able to remember? After much dipping in and out, or from referring to the topic-based index, you will know what '100 per cent proof' really means for an alcoholic drink and what the effect of drinking Ayahuasca is. You will also know when two doctors in casualty earnestly discuss your 'UBI', they have smelt your breath and are talking about your 'unexplained beer injury'. Some facts just are more memorable than others...

        Traditional Herbal Medicines

        A Guide to Their Safer Use

        by Lakshman Karalliedde, Rita Fitzpatrick, Debbie Shaw

        The part played by traditional medicines in our health care continues to increase year on year. Used for many centuries, they have the reputation of being gentler, less invasive, and more 'natural' than modern western prescription medicines. However, for individuals seeking care that includes traditional medicines there are in fact many risks. While the toxic profiles of western medicines have been precisely and extensively documented and publicised, the harmful effects of traditional medicines taken on their own, or often in combination with western medicines, are not well enough known to ensure safe use.In this highly structured compendium, Dr Lakshman Karalliedde brings together what is currently known and has been scientifically validated regarding traditional medicines from around the world. Covering Chinese, Afro-Caribbean, Unani and Ayurvedic traditional medicines, this book describes the sources of these medicines, their known effects and side-effects, recommended dosages, and, very importantly, precautions.Every practitioner prescribing traditional medicines to their patients should have a copy of this book. Individuals who seek the help of complementary therapists and take these medicines will also want to have a copy for reference.

        Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

        A Natural Way to Treat ADHD

        by Basant K. Puri

        Does your child have poor concentration and an inability to relax? Does your child do crazily reckless things that can't be explained afterwards? Has your child been diagnosed with ADHD? * Are you caring for or teaching children with ADHD? Or do you have these problems yourself? Increasing numbers of children are being diagnosed as having Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. As the best available treatment for many years, they are prescribed powerful drugs that help to control (but not cure) the worst of the symptoms. However, the potential side-effects of these drugs are worrying and the long-term consequences unknown, facing doctors, parents and adult sufferers with a terrible dilemma. In Professor Puri's groundbreaking new book, you will discover a very different way of looking at ADHD. His starting point is the basis of behaviour in the chemistry of the brain and the many factors that influence this. By understanding behaviour at this level, it is possible to see how hyperactivity can be reduced and concentration improved in a natural way that is in tune with the needs of the individual.;He presents the results of two major studies, with which he has been involved, that demonstrate the effectiveness of a completely natural way to treat ADHD. Read how and why EPA ('eicosapentaenoic acid') will be essential to recovery; how to take it; what dietary changes will enhance its effects; and what lifestyle changes will help you and your child to overcome the complex of symptoms that make up ADHD.

        Suburban Shaman

        Tales from Medicine's Frontline

        by Cecil Helman

        'To be a good doctor you have to be a compassionate chameleon, a shape shifter - a shaman. Even if your adaptation to your patients' world happens at an unconscious level you should always work within their system of ideas, never against it...' So writes Cecil Helman after 27 years as a family practitioner in the suburbs of North London interlaced with training and research as a medical anthropologist, comparing a wide variety of health systems. This unique combination of frontline health worker and detached academic informs the many stories that make up this fascinating book. It also informs the author's shared insights into what these stories can teach us about ourselves and our own attitudes to health and illness, whether we are deliverers or recipients of health care. With humour and gentle humaneness, Helman's colourful stories take the reader on a journey from apartheid South Africa, where he did his initial training, to the London of the early 1970s, where for a short time he foreswore medicine to become an anthropologist and poet; from ship's doctor on a Mediterranean cruise to family practitioner in London; from observer of curative trance dances in the favelas of Brazil to consulting with sangomas in South Africa. While trained in the Western tradition and with many years of practice in that system, Helman's anthropological insight leads him to view illness in a wider personal, social and cosmic context, considering elements beyond the purely physical, as do shamans and other traditional doctors. In pleading for this age-old holistic approach, he celebrates family medicine which 'in its quiet and unassuming way, and every day of the week, is still at the very frontline of human suffering'.

        Essential Mental Health Law

        A Guide to the Revised Mental Health Act and the Mental Capacity Act 2005

        by Anthony Maden

        The new Mental Act, amending the 1983 Act, was passed in 2007 and came into operation only this year. The new Mental Capacity Act was passed in 2005 and came into operation in 2007. Together they represent major changes in how mental health professionals should care for their patients, reflecting the shift from institutional to community care that has taken place since 1983. Crucially the new Mental Health Act redefines mental disorder and removes the 'treatability' test. These and other changes have caused great controversy, but now the new legislation is in place there is a need to understand what it means for the individual practitioner when making decisions about the care of individual patients. "Essential Mental Health Law" is the practical guide that will provide this understanding. Neutral on the wrongs and rights of the new legislation, it sets the controversy on one side to help psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, mental health nurses and social workers with the day to day application of the law in clinical practice. Non-specialist lawyers will also find it invaluable.

        The Cannabis Diaries

        A Mother's Struggle to Save Her Family

        by Debra Bell

        'Reading your Diaries was like reading my own story. My mother read them too, and for the first time ever she said she hadn't realised what it must have been like for me...' 'I'm sitting here in my office trying not to let my colleagues see the tears in my eyes after reading your diary. They are tears for you and your family and tears for what happened to my daughter.' When Debra Bell's oldest son, William, started smoking cannabis at school aged 14, the family were only moderately concerned. This was a harmless, non-addictive recreational drug, they believed - nothing like as problematic as alcohol. But then William's personality began to change. From being a bright, ambitious sport-loving boy he gradually transformed into a liar and a thief who truanted from school and could see no further ahead than the next fix. Health professionals assured Debra that these changes could not be caused by cannabis - there must be something else going on. Thus began the lonely struggle to understand what was happening to William and to share that understanding with other families - both those who were suffering without support in the same way, and those who wanted to avoid the descent into addiction and possible psychosis. The Cannabis Diaries, based on the online diary that Debra kept from December 2006, record a seminal year in her family's battle to hold together and help William without damaging their younger sons. Anybody going through a similar experience will empathise and find comfort in the shared experience and the knowledge that cannabis really can have these effects. And if you fear this could happen to your family, there is much here to help you.
