Losing Me, While Losing You is a long-needed resource to those providing care for people living with dementia—and for those providing care to the caregivers. In this book, caregivers speak from their own experiences of caring for loved ones with dementia; they cover when they first noticed behavioural changes, what they did and how their roles changed when they received the diagnosis, how the experiences changed their perceptions of themselves, especially in cases where important ones no longer recognized them or their, often long-standing, relationships.

An interesting public health paradox has emerged in some developing nations.

But political leaders in countries such as Mexico, Brazil, India, China, and Indonesia are reluctant to introduce policies regulating the marketing and sale of their products. Why? Eduardo J. Gomez argues that the challenge lies with the strategic politics of junk food industries in these countries.

Habitual drug use in the United States is at least as old as the nation itself. Habit Forming traces the history of unregulated drug use and dependency before 1914, when the Harrison Narcotic Tax Act limited sales of opiates and cocaine under US law. Many Americans used opiates and other drugs medically and became addicted. Some tried Hasheesh Candy, injected morphine, or visited opium dens, but neither use nor addiction was linked to crime, due to the dearth of restrictive laws. After the Civil War, American presses published extensively about domestic addiction.

Völlig zu unrecht, denn es gibt viele wunderbare Karrieren abseits des Krankenbetts, in denen man einen hohen gesellschaftlichen Mehrwert schaffen kann.

Le pandemie sono grandi eventi trasformazionali. Si abbattono su sistemi che si credono consolidati, aprendo crepe e facendo tremare tutto. Destabilizzano, insomma. Suscitano un sentimento ambivalente: paura e incertezza da una parte, ma anche meraviglia, perché all'interno delle loro pieghe ci sono enormi opportunità.

Wir Menschen, werden von Geburt an, durch die Gesellschaft, die Film- und Unterhaltungsindustrie aber auch in Schulen und anderen Bildungseinrichtungen, gebetsmühlenartig auf Virentheorien konditioniert, die durch ständige Wiederholungen als Realität wahrgenommen, und nicht weiter hinterfragt werden.
