Havana Syndrome
It is one of the most extraordinary cases in the history of science: the mating calls of insects were mistaken for a “sonic weapon” that led to a major diplomatic row. Since August 2017, the world media has been absorbed in the “attack” on diplomats from the American and Canadian Embassies in Cuba. While physicians treating victims have described it as a novel and perplexing condition that involves an array of complaints including brain damage, the authors present compelling evidence that mass psychogenic illness was the cause of “Havana Syndrome.” This mysterious condition that has baffled experts is explored across 11-chapters which offer insights by a prominent neurologist and...

Counseling Persons with Parkinson's Disease
Counseling Persons with Parkinson's Disease offers a glimpse into life with chronic illness--Parkinson's or otherwise--and it employs a unique approach to counseling those who have it. The author is in a unique position to discuss this because, in addition to receiving his own diagnosis in 2016, he's taught counselors how to engage patients living with chronic illnesses for years. All at once informative, realistic, humorous, and hopeful, this book will guide clinicians who give counsel, educators who teach counseling, people supporting someone else, and anyone living with a chronic illness.

Home Schooling
From left to right on the political spectrum, there is at least one note of agreement: the nation's school system has not delivered universal quality education. Accordingly, debate has raged over how to rectify this situation. Should the government increase funding, encourage privatisation, some of both? Another option, though, has emerged and is seemingly gaining popularity -- home schooling. Citing both substandard education and displeasure with school environments and curricula, many parents have decided to teach their own children.
