The XX Brain - Dr. Lisa Mosconi - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

The XX Brain - Dr. Lisa Mosconi - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

Women are far more likely than men to suffer from anxiety, depression, migraines, brain injuries, strokes and Alzheimer''s disease. But, until recently, scientific research has focused on ''bikini medicine,'' assuming that women are essentially men with different reproductive organs. The XX Brain presents groundbreaking research showing that women''s brains age distinctly from men''s, due mostly to the decline of a key brain-protective hormone: estrogen. Taking on all aspects of women''s health, including brain fog, memory lapses, depression, stress, insomnia, hormonal imbalances and the increased risk of dementia, Dr. Mosconi introduces cutting-edge, evidence-based methods for protecting the female brain, encompassing diet, stress reduction and sleep. She also examines the effectiveness of hormonal replacement therapy, addresses the perils of environmental toxins and explores the role of our microbiome. Luckily, it is never too late to take care of yourself.

The Cat that Could Open the Fridge - Simon Hoggart - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

The Cat that Could Open the Fridge - Simon Hoggart - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

The advent of the home computer has made Christmas round robin letters ubiquitous. Where once the hot news about Tamsin''s A levels would be sent in a short note, now it''s not unusual to get a letter that includes several pages of misery - emergency operations, dead relatives, sackings, rainy holidays and so forth - decorated with jolly snowmen and smiling Santas. Some people go further and send out whole booklets. Computers have also made it possible to include photographs of the family eating paté in their Provencal garden, or sitting in a hot tub in California. Simon Hoggart gets hundreds of round robin letters sent to him every year and has collected the funniest, most irritating, most surreal extracts into this hilarious short book. Along the way he considers why people hate these letters so much and what they tell us about the British middle classes. What, exactly, lies behind the impulse to write about Roger''s decision to cycle to work for health reasons, or Jeremy''s trip to Tasmania, or the replacement pet rabbit?

Matterhorn - Karl (author) Marlantes - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

''MY FAVOURITE BOOK OF ALL TIME'' JEREMY CLARKSON Fire Support Base Matterhorn: a fortress carved out of the grey-green mountain jungle. Cold monsoon clouds wreath its mile-high summit, concealing a battery of 105-mm howitzers surrounded by deep bunkers, carefully constructed fields of fire and the 180 marines of Bravo Company. Just three kilometres from Laos and two from North Vietnam, there is no more isolated outpost of America''s increasingly desperate war in Vietnam.Second Lieutenant Waino Mellas, 21 years old and just a few days into his 13-month tour, has barely arrived at Matterhorn before Bravo Company is ordered to abandon their mountain and sent deep in-country in pursuit of a North Vietnamese Army unit of unknown size. Beyond the relative safety of the perimeter wire, Mellas will face disease, starvation, leeches, tigers and an almost invisible enemy. Beneath the endless jungle canopy, Bravo Company will confront competing ambitions, duplicitous officers and simmering racial tensions. Behind them, always, Matterhorn. The impregnable mountain fortress they built and then abandoned, without a shot, to the North Vietnamese Army...

The Menopause Brain - Dr. Lisa Mosconi - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

''Thank you, Dr Mosconi'' Davina McCall ''I had never really fathomed how hormonal changes impact the brain until I read The Menopause Brain'' Gwyneth Paltrow '' The Menopause Brain will quickly become your new best friend'' Halle Berry THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER Menopause and perimenopause are still baffling to most doctors, leaving patients exasperated as they grapple with symptoms ranging from hot flashes to insomnia to brain fog. As a leading neuroscientist and women''s brain health specialist, Dr Mosconi unravels these mysteries by revealing how menopause doesn''t just impact the ovaries - it''s a hormonal show in which the brain takes centre stage.The decline of the hormone estrogen during menopause influences everything from body temperature to mood to memory, potentially paving the way for cognitive decline later in life. To conquer these challenges successfully, Dr. Mosconi brings us the latest approaches - explaining the role of cutting-edge hormone replacement therapies like ''designer estrogens,'' hormonal contraception and key lifestyle changes encompassing diet, exercise and self-care.Best of all, Dr Mosconi dispels the myth that menopause signifies an end, demonstrating that it''s actually a transition. Contrary to popular belief, if we know how to take care of ourselves during menopause, we can emerge with a renewed, enhanced brain - ushering in a meaningful and vibrant new chapter of life.

The Golden Thread - Ewan (author) Clayton - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

The Golden Thread - Ewan (author) Clayton - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

The Golden Thread is an enthralling and accessible history of the cultural miracle that is the written word. It is an invention that has been used to share ideas in every field of human endeavour, and a motor of cultural, scientific and political progress.From the simple representative shapes used to record transactions of goods and animals in ancient Egypt, to the sophisticated typographical resources available to the twenty-first-century computer user, the story of writing is the story of human civilization itself. Ewan Clayton marks each step in the historical development of writing, and explores the social and cultural impact of every stage: the invention of the alphabet; the replacement of the papyrus scroll with the codex in the late Roman period; the perfecting of printing using moveable type in the fifteenth century and the ensuing spread of literacy; the industrialization of printing during the Industrial Revolution; the impact of artistic Modernism on the written word in the early twentieth century - and of the digital switchover at the century''s close. The Golden Thread raises issues of urgent interest for a society living in an era of unprecedented change to the tools and technologies of written communication. Chief amongst these is the fundamental question: ''What does it mean to be literate in the world of the early twenty-first century?'' The Golden Thread belongs on the bookshelves of anyone who is inquisitive not just about the centrality of writing in the history of humanity, but also about its future.
