Health of Antarctic Wildlife
comprehensively up to date. We are most grateful to these authors and to those we recruited to write the additional chapters necessary to fill the significant gaps. We acknowledge also the sacrifice of some who presented results of original research and have thus suffered a longer time than usual to publication. The timing of publication however has provided the opportunity to highlight recent discussions and resolutions made within the Antarctic Treaty forum to protect wildlife against disease and to include responses by Government and non-Government operators in Antarctica. These developments mostly followed from the Workshop on Diseases of Antarctic Wildlife. The book comprises 17 chapter...
A New Perspective on Orthomolecular Medicine
In this major collection of articles, Dr. Chris Reading confirms his pre-eminence in the field of orthomolecular medicine. Ranging from topics such as the biochemistry of mental illness, to cancer, to ways to protect against Alzheimer’s Disease, these writings are not only the presentation of brilliant and original research, but encourage us to understand illness in a broader and more humanistic way. This is a remarkable book by one of the most original voices in holistic medicine today.
