Médecin légiste depuis plus de trente ans, le docteur Philippe Boxho nous fait découvrir dans cet ouvrage son quotidien fait de morts qui ne le sont pas toujours ou pas encore, de disparitions de cadavres, de dissimulations de meurtres, de suicides étonnants. De la scène de crime à la salle d’autopsie, entre pratique médicale et enquête policière, l’expert médico-légal nous raconte son métier, qui est aussi sa passion. Il nous relate ainsi l’évolution du corps après la mort à travers des histoires de mouches, puis il s’arrête sur cet homme qui pensait mourir d’un seul coup de feu et qui a dû s’y prendre à quatorze reprises, sur cet autre qui, en voulant se pendre, est finalement décédé d’une fracture du crâne, sur ce meurtrier qui n’aurait jamais dû consommer d’alcool ou encore sur cette morte qui avait le mauvais goût de transpirer. Les histoires rassemblées ici sont toutes vraies, rien n’est inventé. Il n’y a d’ailleurs pas besoin d’inventer, la réalité se suffit à elle-même tant l’imagination humaine est libérée quand il s’agit de mourir, de tuer, de se suicider, de faire disparaître un corps. Âmes sensibles s’abstenir…

Les morts ont la parole

Notre rapport à la santé a changé. Les traitements se sont diversifiés. Face à un problème de mal-être ou de santé, nous ne savons pas toujours vers qui nous tourner ou qui consulter. Se donner toutes les chances, c’est découvrir les bienfaits des médecines conventionnelles et complémentaires, mais aussi mesurer à quel point notre propre rôle est essentiel. Natacha Calestrémé donne la parole à des médecins et des chercheurs reconnus pour leur expertise scientifique et leur connaissance des pratiques thérapeutiques, et ouvre de nouveaux horizons pour nous aider à aller mieux. Avec : Gérard Ostermann, cardiologue, professeur de thérapeutique-médecine interne. Thierry Janssen, médecin, ancien chirurgien urologue, psychothérapeute. Isabelle Mansuy, docteure en biologie moléculaire, professeure en épigénétique. Jacques Besson, psychiatre, professeur honoraire de psychiatrie. Préface du Pr Patrice Queneau, membre de l’Académie nationale de médecine.

Se donner toutes les chances

" Il y a cinquante ans, quelques hommes innocents, condamnés à une vie de détention, ont refusé le destin d'esclaves que leur promettait Staline et se sont évadés. Ils préféraient les dangers de la traque à l'indignité du servage. Pour recouvrer la liberté, ils n'avaient d'autre choix que de faire route vers le sud. Sans vivres, sans carte, sans assistance, ils devaient franchir à pied les taïgas, les steppes mongoles, le désert de Gobi, le Tibet, l'Himalaya, les jungles du Bengale. 6000 kilomètres d'étendues hostiles. (...) Je suis donc parti retracer leur itinéraire pas à pas. Huit mois, de la Sibérie au golfe du Bengale. C'est cet itinéraire qui relie le septentrion aux zones subtropicales que j'ai nommé l'axe du loup car, en ces parages, seuls se pressent les pillards, les évadés, les pauvres hères en rupture de banc. Par définition les chemins de la liberté sont des chemins de traverse, des sentiers jamais battus, des routes de rupture... (...) J'ai connu tout ce qu'on va chercher de plein gré en se lançant dans pareilles aventures : le froid, la faim, la solitude extrême. Chaque kilomètre m'a coûté, mais la splendeur de la haute Asie a récompensé mes efforts. C'est la double histoire des évadés et de ma propre aventure vécue en leur hommage que j'ai écrite dans L'Axe du Loup. Et parce que selon les mots d'une ancienne déportée, "en Russie, à présent, on a le droit de se souvenir, mais pas encore le devoir de mémoire...' ". Sylvain Tesson a refait le long voyage de la Sibérie au golfe du Bengale qu'effectuaient naguère les évadés du goulag. Pour rendre hommage à ceux dont la soif de liberté a triomphé des obstacles les plus grands, seul, il a franchi les taïgas, la steppe mongole, le désert de Gobi, les Hauts Plateaux tibétains, la chaîne himalayenne, la forêt humide jusqu'à la montagne de Darjeeling. Sur six mille kilomètres, il a connu le froid, la faim, la solitude extrême. La splendeur de la haute Asie l'a récompensé, comme les mots d'une ancienne déportée : " On a le droit de se souvenir. " " Le récit de voyage qu'il a rapporté est plein d'intelligence, d'authenticité, d'âpreté et d'émotion, traversé de bonheurs d'écriture qui sont la patte d'un écrivain. " Hervé Bentégeat – Le Figaro

L'axe du loup

A travers ses souvenirs, Michel Bühler fait un magnifique éloge du Jura "Par ma fenêtre, le vert profond du pré; plus loin un enchevêtrement gris de troncs et de branchages. Le ciel est plombé. Pas une feuille encore, dans le bosquet qui sépare ma maison du vaste plateau des Granges. La radio, tout à l’heure, annonçait de possibles chutes de neige jusqu’à mille mètres d’altitude. Tout pourrait être à nouveau blanc, demain matin. Je sais qu’en bas, en Plaine, du côté d’Yverdon ou de Lausanne, les pommiers et les cerisiers sont déjà couverts de ﬂeurs, la sève impérieuse charrie ses ﬂots, riches de sucre, entre bois et écorce. Les champs de colza étalent leur jaune pétant à côté des pousses de blé tendre, les ­marronniers et les tilleuls défroissent leur feuillage pour l’offrir à la caresse du soleil. En bas, la chaleur, les parfums entêtants, la joie du renouveau, l’herbe grasse." - Michel Bülher Un agréable recueil de textes autobiographiques, au fil des saisons EXTRAIT Je connais, j’admire Pierre Bichet depuis… … Je dois avoir, quelque part, une photo de notre première rencontre. C’est au Mont des Cerfs, sur les hauts de Sainte-Croix. On nous voit, assis sur le pâturage, avec trente ans de moins qu’aujourd’hui. Entre nous, le micro à la main, cheveux noirs, et mi-longs, comme c’était la mode à l’époque, moustache fournie, celui qui a provoqué notre rencontre : l’ami Frank Musy, alors journaliste à la Radio Romande. Il devait s’agir, bien sûr, d’une émission sur le Jura. Je n’en finirai pas de remercier Frank de nous avoir mis en présence. Bichet était déjà largement connu, peintre renommé, compagnon fidèle d’Haroun Tazieff. J’étais en train de me faire un petit nom dans la chanson, à Paris et en Suisse. CE QU'EN PENSE LA CRITIQUE "Ses descriptions sont vives, amusantes, pleines d’esprit et de sous-entendus. Qu’on cite son histoire de l’absinthe, sa visite des creux, qu’il parle de son ami le peintre Bichet, dont une œuvre illustre la couverture du livre, qu’il s’amuse des chercheurs de champignons et de leurs mystères, on retrouve l’âme de ce pays rude, resté simple et confronté à une modernisation qui n’est pas sans risques." - Juliette David, Le Messager suisse A PROPOS DE L’AUTEUR Michel Bühler est l’un des chanteurs suisses les plus connus. Auteur de plus de deux cents chansons, il a également publié trois romans, La Parole volée (traduit en allemand chez Limmat Verlag), Un notable et La Plaine à l’Eau Belle, trois récits, Cabarete, Lettre à Menétrey et Un si beau printemps, et de nombreuses pièces de théâtre. Michel Bühler, qui demeure l’un des rares auteurs romands à rendre compte des problèmes politiques et sociaux de son pays, n’hésite pas à prendre part à des actions de solidarité et de défense des opprimés. Partageant son temps entre carrière littéraire et musicale, il vit actuellement à L’Auberson (Vaud) et à Paris.

What do you do when you wake up in your mid-forties and realize you've been living a lie your whole life? Do you tell? Or do you keep it to yourself? Laura James found out that she was autistic as an adult, after she had forged a career for herself, married twice and raised four children. Odd Girl Out tracks the year of Laura's life after she receives a definitive diagnosis from her doctor, as she learns that 'different' doesn't need to mean 'less' and how there is a place for all of us, and it's never too late to find it. Laura draws on her professional and personal experiences and reflects on her life in the light of her diagnosis, which for her explains some of her differences; why, as a child, she felt happier spinning in circles than standing still and why she has always found it difficult to work in places with a lot of ambient noise. Although this is a personal story, the book has a wider focus too, exploring reasons for the lower rate of diagnosed autism in women and a wide range of topics including eating disorders and autism, marriage and motherhood. The memoir, Odd Girl Out, gives a timely account from a woman negotiating the autistic spectrum, from a poignant and personal perspective.

Une brève histoire du temps

Vous venez d’accoucher et vous ne savez plus comment vous vous appelez ? Vous êtes fatiguée et exaltée, heureuse et désespérée, et vous changez d’humeur toutes les deux minutes. Rassurez-vous, tout est normal ! Souvent tabou, le post-partum est généralement décrit comme une période horrible, ou à l’inverse, une période enchantée. Seulement, la réalité se situe au milieu de ces deux extrêmes. Elle parle de la relation à l’enfant qui arrive, de ses premiers sourires, des forces insoupçonnées que l’on se découvre mais aussi d’hémorroïdes, d’émotions qui s’entrechoquent et d’un corps que l’on ne reconnaît pas toujours. Fruit de la collaboration entre une sage-femme et une journaliste fille de sage-femme, cet ouvrage propose de raconter le post-partum en appelant un chat un chat ! Son but est de vous informer et de vous apporter des conseils réalistes pour vous accompagner au mieux dans cette période qui, quand on creuse bien, a tout d’une vie rêvée... ou presque !

L'univers à portée de main

From the 1950's until the 1970's governments and corporations dreamt about nuclear aeroplanes and trains as well as freight and passenger ships powered by small nuclear reactors. The Plougshare programme of the US government searched constructive peaceful uses for nuclear weapons, like excavating canals and the basements of apartment houses and digging mines and gas wells. Project SuperOrion tried to develop a spaceship that would have flown to Proxima Centauri pushed by the detonations of 25 million multi-megaton nuclear weapons. Scientists predicted that electricity provided by nuclear power plants would soon be so cheap that electric meters would become obsolete and unnecessary. Today, everybody understands that such dreams were mere hallucinations, products of an age dominated by an euphoric belief in the limitless possibilities of modern science. Rethinking Nuclear Power asks whether we have already waken up, or whether we are still dreaming. It claims that some of our still existing nuclear programmes are at least as dangerous than the above-mentioned earlier proposals. Until Fukushima, Japan's national nuclear research programme was eagerly advocating the establishment of small nuclear reactors in the basements of large office buildings and apartment houses. Besides this, more than 30 governments are involved in developing breeder reactors,or fourth-generation nuclear reactors, converting uranium to plutonium or thorium to uranium 233. Fourth-generation nuclear reactors would use much more highly enriched nuclear fuels than our present nuclear power plants. It is not possible to make a nuclear weapon from the fuel of our present nuclear power plants, but all the proposed fourth-generation nuclear power plants would use fuels that can be used to manufacture nuclear bombs without any further enrichment. If we want to produce much more nuclear electricity than we are currently doing, we have to move to breeder reactors that make more nuclear fuel than what they consume, because there is not enough (economically available) natural uranium. But if we move to a breeder reactor economy, every transportation of nuclear fuel to a power station provides the terrorist organizations of the future with a new chance of acquiring nuclear weapons. The spread of breeder reactors would also multiply the number of nuclear weapons states. Rethinking Nuclear Power analyzes the political and security choices related to breeder reactors and present kind of nuclear power plants and investigates whether our energy systems really needs nuclear power.

The Encyclopedia of Aerodynamics was written for pilots at all levels from private pilot to airline pilot, military pilots and students of aerodynamics as a complete reference manual to aerodynamic terminology. General aerodynamic text books for pilots are relatively limited in their scope while aerodynamic text books for engineering students involve complex calculus. The references in this book, The Encyclopedia of Aerodynamics, are clearly described and only basic algebra is used in a few references but is completely devoid of any calculus - an advantage to many readers. Over 1400 references are included with alternative terms used where appropriate and cross-referenced throughout. The text is illustrated with 178 photographs and 96 diagrams. The Encyclopedia of Aerodynamics is an ideal aerodynamic reference manual for any pilot’s bookshelf.

Jack Ma is the founder and CEO of the Alibaba Group, a privately owned Internet-based e-commerce company in China whose sales are estimated to be bigger than its American competitors eBay and Amazon.com combined. This book unveils Jack Ma s thousand faces in real life from different angles, and it reveals a Jack Ma different from your imagination. How did Jack overcome his humble origins and early failures to achieve massive success with Alibaba? How did he outsmart rival entrepreneurs from China and Silicon Valley? Can Alibaba maintain its 80% market share? Jack Ma is a man who does not see failure as an option, not a final one anyway. Ma has been through more failure than success in his life, we just don't hear much about it because his success has been so big! Ma's education through failure more than traditional channels has shaped a man that is globally savvy, compassionate and fiercely passionate about entrepreneurship. He recently shared with Charlie Rose, 'I failed a key primary school test 2 times, I failed the middle school test 3 times, I failed the college entrance exam 2 times and when I graduated, I was rejected for most jobs I applied for out of college.' (Ma was one of 5 applicants to the police force and the only one to be rejected. Then there is the application as one of 24 applicants to be a KFC manager and also be rejected. 'I applied for Harvard ten times, got rejected ten times and I told myself that ‘Someday I should go teach there.' Even in the early success of Alibaba Ma was told by Silicon Valley venture capitalists that his business model was wholly unprofitable and he was sent back to China unfunded. In the face of all this adversity Ma did not give up, give in or blame, he just continued to try.

'10 Short Lessons in Time Travel lucidly sums up the essential parts of this fascinating subject.' John Gribbin ________________________ In Ten Short Lessons in Time Travel, Brian Clegg takes us on a fascinating and up-to-date tour of the workings of the universe that suggest the possibility of journeying back and forth through time. Einstein’s special theory of relativity told us that time travel to the future was possible, and later his general theory of relativity showed us that loops in spacetime could exist, meaning that we might be able to bend time backwards, too. But what are the practicalities of making time travel possible? What do we still need to know? How do we deal with paradoxical twists in time – and could quantum physics hold the answer? From the imagination of novelists to current research, 10 Short Lessons in Time Travel is a grand tour of the essential lessons in this game-changing area of physics. About the series: The Pocket Einstein series is a collection of essential pocket-sized guides for anyone looking to understand a little more about some of the most important and fascinating areas of science in the twenty-first century. Broken down into ten simple lessons and written by leading experts in their field, discover the ten most important takeaways from those areas of science you’ve always wanted to know more about.

This is the fourth work of a tetralogy which gives birth to the pursuit of the Truth: the first work is ”Galileo and Einstein”, the second work is ”Archimedes”, the third work is ”Archimedes - Galileo - Newton - Einstein”. This fourth work aims to underline the perpetuating millennial mistake which consists of considering the weight unalterable and unchanging compared to the shape of the body itself. Together with this mistake, it is underlined how two mistakes of the Scientific Community, made in the last forty years, are added. The first consists in deciding to use the same scales used previously to measure the body weight to measure the body mass. The second, starting from the 20th May 2019 when redefining the fundamental physical quantities, is related to the kg mass for which it hasn’t been fixed a standard sample, nor the fabric or the sizeable shape.

The word yoga takes us back to the ancient times and brings to mind a plethora of images of extraordinary postures that seem impossible to attempt, let alone master. Yoga is much more than mastering the various postures or increasing your flexibility. It is an ancient practice that involves various physical stances as well as several mental and breathing exercises that cleanse our mind, body and soul. It focuses on self-enlightenment as its ultimate goal. Yoga has continued to evolve over the years and now there are various disciplines that are practiced. Yoga is a science that has transcended boundaries, language and culture and has got worldwide acceptance. It is estimated that over 35 million people practice yoga in America and U.K. The most common form of yoga practiced here is Hatha yoga. The origins, the concept, the ultimate goal and the various benefits of practicing such an ancient art form are still unknown to many. Beyond the assumption that it started in India, the knowledge about yoga takes a dip into the unknown. There are a lot of intricacies that are associated with this art form that need to be understood to really reap the true benefits of this ancient art form. This eBook aims at enlightening you and takes you into the wonderful yet mysterious world of Yoga and in particular Raja Yoga. This eBook helps you understand Raja Yoga better and the basics that can help you get started.

Galileo Galilei had seriously considered the priesthood as a young man, at his father's urging he instead enrolled at the University of Pisa for a medical degree. In 1581, when he was studying medicine, he noticed a swinging chandelier, which air currents shifted about to swing in larger and smaller arcs. It seemed, by comparison with his heartbeat, that the chandelier took the same amount of time to swing back and forth, no matter how far it was swinging. When he returned home, he set up two pendulums of equal length and swung one with a large sweep and the other with a small sweep and found that they kept time together. It was not until Christiaan Huygens almost one hundred years later, however, that the tautochrone nature of a swinging pendulum was used to create an accurate timepiece.To this point, he had deliberately been kept away from mathematics (since a physician earned so much more than a mathematician), but upon accidentally attending a lecture on geometry, he talked his reluctant father into letting him study mathematics and natural philosophy instead. He created a thermoscope (forerunner of the thermometer) and in 1586 published a small book on the design of a hydrostatic balance he had invented (which first brought him to the attention of the scholarly world). Galileo also studied disegno, a term encompassing fine art, and in 1588 attained an instructor position in the Accademia delle Arti del Disegno in Florence, teaching perspective and chiaroscuro. Being inspired by the artistic tradition of the city and the works of the Renaissance artists, Galileo acquired an aesthetic mentality. While a young teacher at the Accademia, he began a lifelong friendship with the Florentine painter Cigoli, who included Galileo's lunar observations in one of his paintings. Galileo Galilei’s Sidereus Nuncius is arguably the most dramatic scientific book ever published. It announced new and unexpected phenomena in the heavens, “unheard of through the ages.

There are a number of excellent works on Veterinary Anatomy, and many of them will amply repay the student for the time taken to master them, but for quick reference none seem to contain the wants of the veterinary practitioner and student for which this humble little work is primarily intended.

Notes on Veterinary Anatomy

Since it was developed, Newton‘s law of gravitation and many other laws of physics cannot be derived from one grand underlying principle. Deriving Newton‘s law of gravitation or Einstein general relativity theory, would mean that gravity emerges from something else and that would mean that the only known Newton‘s law of universal gravity is no longer a fundamental law of physics. Although this might be true, I believe that everything must have an origin. I believe that there is a fundamental universal physical law from which all other known physical laws can be deduced. I also believe that the laws of physics are not picked at random but there exists an underlying principle from which they can be derived with ease. Failure for some minds to grasp this principle doesn‘t mean that it doesn‘t exist. Because I was used to deriving and proving formulae in pure math, I didn‘t like the way the laws of physics were presented to me without proof. A physics tutor would just write down a set of physical laws without proof. There are so many physics books which still do the same thing. Being curious and passionate to finding out how I could derive all the laws of physics from one single equation is proof that this book would have never existed in the first place if had not discovered the hidden principle that underlies all physics.

The present book is intended, as far as possible, to give an exact insight into the theory of Relativity to those readers who, from a general scientific and philosophical point of view, are interested in the theory, but who are not conversant with the mathematical apparatus of theoretical physics. The work presumes a standard of education corresponding to that of a university matriculation examination, and, despite the shortness of the book, a fair amount of patience and force of will on the part of the reader. The author has spared himself no pains in his endeavor to present the main ideas in the simplest and most intelligible form, and on the whole, in the sequence and connection in which they actually originated. In the interest of clearness, it appeared to me inevitable that I should repeat myself frequently, without paying the slightest attention to the elegance of the presentation. I adhered scrupulously to the precept of that brilliant theoretical physicist L. Boltzmann, according to whom matters of elegance ought to be left to the tailor and to the cobbler. I make no pretence of having withheld from the reader difficulties which are inherent to the subject. On the other hand, I have purposely treated the empirical physical foundations of the theory in a “step-motherly” fashion, so that readers unfamiliar with physics may not feel like the wanderer who was unable to see the forest for the trees. May the book bring someone a few happy hours of suggestive thought! December, 1916 A. EINSTEIN

Being Human: A Question of Survival

Fire and brimstone, bellowing prophets, and a good dose of old-fashioned sermonizing — these are the images the Bible brings to mind. But this assortment of sacred writings, in particular the Old Testament, is more than a collection of colorful allegories or miracles-and-morals mythology. Though written in the first millennium BCE, these holy writings are a nostalgic recounting of a lost 'super-religious' mentality that characterized the Bronze Age. The Psychology of the Bible explores how the Old Testament provides perspective into the tumultuous transition from an earlier mentality to a new paradigm of interiorized psychology and introspective religiosity that came to characterize the first millennium BCE. By examining the Old Testament’s historical background and theopolitical context, utilizing linguistic analysis, and applying systems and communication theory, this book interprets biblical passages through a new lens. It analyzes divine voices, visions, and appearances of heavenly messengers — angel and prophets — as neurocultural phenomena and explains why they were so common. This book also answers why definitions of God changed so radically, illuminates the divinatory role of idols and other oracular aids (e.g. the Ark of the Covenant), provides a framework for appreciating why ‘wisdom literature’ became so significant, and clarifies the linkages among music, poetry, and inspiration.

The Psychology of the Bible

This book follows an amazing voyage from the start of everything, through the formation of the Solar System and onto the development of First Life on the initially barren Earth. A good way to start is to explain that you, the reader, are literally a star child. Absolutely every single component of every atom in your body came into existence 14,000 million years ago at the moment the Universe itself came into existence, when time itself started with the Big Bang. Then we consider the sequence of events that lead to your existence and presence here today. Are those events simply a consequence of a random sequence of occurrences as proposed by conventional science? If not, then there is but one logical conclusion; Life and the occurrence of Human Life as we know it, is a direct consequence of Intelligent Creation, following an Intelligent Design process. There is an Intelligent Creator!

The Intelligent Creation of Life

A mind-warping excursion into the wildly improbable truths of science. Echoing Sherlock Holmes' famous dictum, John Gribbin tells us: 'Once you have eliminated the impossible, whatever is left, however improbable, is certainly possible, in the light of present scientific knowledge.' With that in mind, in his sequel to the hugely popular Six Impossible Things and Seven Pillars of Science, Gribbin turns his attention to some of the mind-bendingly improbable truths of science. For example: We know that the Universe had a beginning, and when it was – and also that the expansion of the Universe is speeding up. We can detect ripples in space that are one ten-thousandth the width of a proton, made by colliding black holes billions of light years from Earth. And, most importantly from our perspective, all complex life on Earth today is descended from a single cell – but without the stabilising influence of the Moon, life forms like us could never have evolved.

Eight Improbable Possibilities

That's one small step for man… The Moon has always fascinated humans, and thoughts on how to get there occupied minds for hundreds of years. During the space race, setting foot on the Moon was the ultimate goal and the Apollo missions to the Moon are amongst the most successful and well-remembered manned space flights that NASA ever accomplished. In Project Apollo Norman Ferguson reveals fascinating facts and figures, and recounts amazing stories about the astronauts and their spacecraft, and how they made the giant leap for mankind.

Nicolas Joly is responsible for producing some of the finest and most highly esteemed wines of France at his CoulÉe de Serrant vineyard. Practising the biodynamic method of agriculture - sometimes referred to as 'premium organic' - he is at the forefront of a movement to return to the concept of terroir, as full expression and embodiment of a particular grape-growing locality, or appelation. Today even expensive wines, made under strictly regulated controls and standards, are tainted by the use of pesticides and fertilizers, and manipulated in the cellar through the use of osmosis and the additions of aromatic yeasts and enzymes. To counter such trends, a new 'Charter of Quality', run by organic and biodynamic viticulturists, guarantees that the appelation comes to full, authentic expression. To aid this process, biodynamic winegrowers like Joly use special planting methods and preparations that enhance and invigorate the soil, bringing it into harmony with the forces of sun, moon and cosmos to embed the vine in a rich, living context.

The Middle East is the birthplace of astronomy and the centre for its development during the medieval period. In this brief introduction John Steele offers an intriguing insight into Middle Eastern achievements in astronomy and their profound influence on the rest of the world. Amongst other things, the book traces the Late Babylonians' ingenious schemes for modelling planetary motion. It also reveals how medieval Islamic advances in the study of the heavens, and the design of precise astronomical instruments, led to breakthroughs by Renaissance practitioners such as Copernicus and Kepler. An invaluable introduction to one of the oldest sciences in the world.

Following on from the success of The Good Bee, this beautifully illustrated celebration of insects by leading entomologist George McGavin highlights the pivotal role they play in our ecosystems, and what we can do to help them survive and thrive. Insects are fascinating and ingenious. They also play an incredibly important role in maintaining life on planet Earth, and are particularly pivotal to our own survival. And yet they are under threat because of us. Since they appeared on land 420 million years ago, these small six-legged animals have been pioneers and ultimate survivors. Around 87 per cent of all plant species need animal pollination and most of this is delivered by insects – they also maintain healthy soil, assist in decomposition and are essential to the food web. This book is a celebration, and also a call to arms. One of the UK’s foremost entomologists and respected academics, George McGavin, explains all the amazing things that insects do, what we’re doing as humans to threaten their habitats and most importantly what we can do now to protect them.

"Nearly forty years ago, Dr. Peter Silverstone was a young MD who took up a new position in psychopharmacology research at Oxford University. Since then, the field has bloomed into a spectrum of possibilities that include the use of psychedelics as a treatment for depression, addiction, PTSD, grief, and anxiety. The Promise of Psychedelics is for you—if you or someone you know has not received successful treatment despite trying several mental-health therapy programs and medication. You are not alone: one in five adults suffer mental-health issues that impact their functioning. Psychedelics such as psilocybin, ketamine, MDMA, cannabinoids, and LSD can cause profound, intense changes—not only in what we experience but how we think, how we feel, and what we do. Dr. Silverstone avoids scientific language whenever possible, so you won’t feel overwhelmed. You’ll be introduced to the most recent advances in our understanding of psychedelics: what they are, how they work, what the risks are, and which ones will transform mental-health treatment for millions of patients. You’ll gain an understanding of the complexity of the regulatory approval process and why it takes so long for some of these psychedelics to become legal for therapeutic use. You’ll walk away from The Promise of Psychedelics with a big dose of hope if you’ll pardon the pun. The good news is that we’re on the cusp of a revolution in mental health—one offering hope that many just might soon see the end of mental illness."
