A Century of Homeopaths: Their Influence on Medicine and Health
by Jonathan DavidsonAs the values of integrative medicine continues to grow, alternative points of view and treatments are increasing in acceptance and prevalence. Homeopathic medicine is considered an important root to this approach. However, contributions of homeopathically qualified doctors have long been overlooked. A Century of Homeopaths is a detailed account of the many homeopaths who have contributed to medical progress since 1840. The accomplishments of over 100 homeopaths form the organizing structure of the book - many of whom have been lost to history. The text describes the ways in which homeopaths have influenced medical practice, research and public health, as well as the seminal effect of homeopaths in the emergence of today's medical specialties and in social reform, thus providing insights to healthcare professionals, researchers, students and medical historians.

A Change of Appetite
by Diana HenryWhat happened when one of today's best-loved food writers had a change of appetite? Here are the dishes that Diana Henry created when she started to crave a different kind of diet - less meat and heavy food, more vegetable-, fish- and grain-based dishes - often inspired by the food of the Middle East and Far East, but also drawing on cuisines from Georgia to Scandinavia.Curious about what 'healthy eating' really means, and increasingly bombarded by both readers and friends for recipes that are 'good for you', Diana disocovered a lighter, fresher way of eating. From a Cambodian salad of prawns, grapefruit, toasted coconut and mint or North African mackerel with cumin to blood orange and cardamom sorbet, the magical dishes in this book are bursting with flavour, goodness and colour. Peppering the recipes is Diana's inimitable writing on everything from the miracle of broth to the great carbohydrate debate. Above all, this is about opening up our palates to new possibilities. There is no austerity here, simply fabulous food which nourishes body and soul.

The new go-to book for clinicians, it is an invaluable tool for anyone looking for a wide variety of dementia therapies.
A Common Sense View of the Mind Cure
by Laura M. WestallAre you stressed, depressed, or having issues with arthritis? This book attempts to show you with instructions and diagrams how to naturally relieve these symptoms. A lot of the theories floated by progressive thinkers at the turn of the 20th century have today been consigned to the dust bin of history. Some have, however, entered the mainstream. For instance, the 'Mind Cure,' essentially New Thought/Christian Science without the mystical and religious entanglements, is not so far off from what is now termed mind-body medicine. This long-out-of-print book is a succinct and very clearly written exposition of the Mind Cure. The Mind Cure acknowledges the active role that the patient's mental state can take in resolving health problems, while not disregarding orthodox western medicine. Much of the advice in this book would today probably be regarded by many medical professionals as sensible, and at the very least, not harmful. Before using these exercises please consult with your doctor or a medical expert before using any of the treatments in this text.

A Companion To Homoeopathic Studies
by Dr Colin B. LessellSome are content with driving fast cars; others want to know how they work. In this intriguing book for students, practitioners and pharmacists of all levels, readers will find nearly everything they need to know about the nuts, bolts and cogs of homeopathy.Adhering to a philosophy that pure empirical facts are meaningless without sound theory to bind them, Dr Colin Lessell reveals the physiochemical nature of remedies, the way they exert their effect on the living organism, the mechanics and history of their production, and the principles by which their selection and dosages are determined. Many of the topics in this book are only barely touched on in the most formal courses, making it a true companion for anyone who wishes to have a more profound knowledge of homeopathy, or who just wants to make sense of the infinitesimal.
A Companion to Chomsky (Blackwell Companions to Philosophy)
by Rey Allott Lohndal, Rey Allott LohndalA COMPANION TO CHOMSKY Widely considered to be one of the most important public intellectuals of our time, Noam Chomsky has revolutionized modern linguistics. His thought has had a profound impact upon the philosophy of language, mind, and science, as well as the interdisciplinary field of cognitive science which his work helped to establish. Now, in this new Companion dedicated to his substantial body of work and the range of its influence, an international assembly of prominent linguists, philosophers, and cognitive scientists reflect upon the interdisciplinary reach of Chomsky’s intellectual contributions.Balancing theoretical rigor with accessibility to the non-specialist, the Companion is organized into eight sections—including the historical development of Chomsky’s theories and the current state of the art, comparison with rival usage-based approaches, and the relation of his generative approach to work on linguistic processing, acquisition, semantics, pragmatics, and philosophy of language. Later chapters address Chomsky’s rationalist critique of behaviorism and related empiricist approaches to psychology, as well as his insistence upon a “Galilean” methodology in cognitive science. Following a brief discussion of the relation of his work in linguistics to his work on political issues, the book concludes with an essay written by Chomsky himself, reflecting on the history and character of his work in his own words.A significant contribution to the study of Chomsky’s thought, A Companion to Chomsky is an indispensable resource for philosophers, linguists, psychologists, advanced undergraduate and graduate students, and general readers with interest in Noam Chomsky’s intellectual legacy as one of the great thinkers of the twentieth century.
