Book Synopsis Galloping Catastrophe by : Jennifer Kennedy

Download or read book Galloping Catastrophe written by Jennifer Kennedy. This book was released on 2019-05-07. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1966, Dr Robert Wilson (a New York gynaecologist) declared all Menopausal Women 'Galloping Catastrophes'. And though it was meant in a derogatory manner - many menopausal women would declare it fairly accurate! This 'self-help' book is a bit different from the average menopausal book. No images of slim happy healthy woman skipping their way through the menopause flicking their thick golden locks behind them. It is more like chatting to a friend who totally gets it, as they too can't stop eating chocolate and over-using the 'F' word. It's about what it's really like to be a menopausal woman. Realising you are not alone is perhaps the best self-help there is. Galloping Catastrophe isn't intended to be read all the way through from start to finish. It is more of a dip in and dip out. Had a ****** of a day? Plucking bristles from your chin? Can't fit into your clothes? Read someone else's brutally honest experiences - and feel just that wee bit better, that it's not just you! Scottish writer Jennifer runs an award winning blog on the menopause which has now amassed over 33000 followers and she'd would like to see this book reach every woman, and their significant others, in the hope it makes them laugh so much at the absurdity of this stage in life that the tears run down their legs.

Book excerpt: "Exorbitant prices for lifesaving drugs, safety recalls affecting tens of millions of Americans, and soaring rates of addiction and overdose on prescription opioids have caused many to lose faith in pharmaceutical companies. Now, Americans are demanding national reckoning with a monolithic industry. In Pharma, award-winning journalist and New York Times best-selling author Gerald Posner uncovers the real story of the Sacklers, the family that became one of America's wealthiest from the success of OxyContin, their blockbuster narcotic painkiller at the centure of the opioid crisis. The unexpected twists and turns of the Sakler family saga are told against the startling chronicle of a powerful industry that sits at the intersection of public health and profits. Pharma reveals how and why American drug companies have put earnings ahead of patients"--

Book Synopsis Catastrophe by : Richard A. Posner

Download or read book Catastrophe written by Richard A. Posner. This book was released on 2004-11-11. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catastrophic risks are much greater than is commonly appreciated. Collision with an asteroid, runaway global warming, voraciously replicating nanomachines, a pandemic of gene-spliced smallpox launched by bioterrorists, and a world-ending accident in a high-energy particle accelerator, are among the possible extinction events that are sufficiently likely to warrant careful study. How should we respond to events that, for a variety of psychological and cultural reasons, we find it hard to wrap our minds around? Posner argues that realism about science and scientists, innovative applications of cost-benefit analysis, a scientifically literate legal profession, unprecedented international cooperation, and a pragmatic attitude toward civil liberties are among the keys to coping effectively with the catastrophic risks.

Book Synopsis The Women's Brain Book by : Dr Sarah McKay

Download or read book The Women's Brain Book written by Dr Sarah McKay. This book was released on 2018-03-27. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For women, understanding how the brain works during the key stages of life - in utero, childhood, puberty and adolescence, pregnancy and motherhood, menopause and old age - is essential to their health. Dr Sarah McKay is a neuroscientist who knows everything worth knowing about women's brains, and shares it in this fascinating, essential book. This is not a book about the differences between male and female brains, nor a book using neuroscience to explain gender-specific behaviours, the 'battle of the sexes' or 'Mars-Venus' stereotypes. This is a book about what happens inside the brains and bodies of women as they move through the phases of life, and the unique - and often misunderstood - effects of female biology and hormones. Dr McKay give insights into brain development during infancy, childhood and the teenage years (including the onset of puberty) and also takes a look at mental health as well as the ageing brain. The book weaves together findings from the research lab, case studies and interviews with neuroscientists and other researchers working in the disciplines of neuroendocrinology, brain development, brain health and ageing. This comprehensive guide explores the brain during significant life stages, including: In utero Childhood Puberty The Menstrual Cycle The Teenage Brain Depression and Anxiety Pregnancy and Motherhood Menopause The Ageing Brain
