The Rise and Fall of the Age of Psychopharmacology
In The Rise and Fall of the Age of Psychopharmacology, esteemed historian Edward Shorter proposes that the recent history of psychiatry is that of a failed scientific discipline of medicine. Medicine generally is about the story of progress, but psychiatry's story is that of failure in diagnosis, in therapeutics, and in the ability to deliver science-based care to suffering individuals.

Serotonin and the CNS
Serotonin is an ancient neurotransmitter system involved in various systems and functions in the body and plays an important role in health and disease. The present volume illustrates the broadness of the involvement of serotonergic activity in many processes, focusing particularly on disorders of the brain, including depression, stress and fear, Alzheimer’s disease, aggression, sexual behavior, and neuro-immune disorders. Chapters illustrate techniques and methods used to study the complex role of the serotonergic system in all kinds of processes, present new hypotheses for several brain disorders like sleep and depression, and use mathematical modeling as a tool to advance knowledge of the extremely complex brain and body processes.
The Travel Notes of a Not so Young Woman Exploring Europe and the Oceans Alone
In this book, the author shares her experience and observations while traveling alone in England and Europe. Having the experience of living in three countries—the former USSR, Israel, and the United States—the author is more apt to see differences in the new places that she encounters. It appears that food is the most memorable topic. The author has made a few trips to England, France, and Holland. She has been to Switzerland and Belgium as well. Also, she traveled around Europe by transatlantic and river cruises. After moving to Florida, she took two Caribbean cruises. Her travels gave her great pleasure, and they were uplifting. Upon her return, it was easier for her to take everyday obligations, especially when planning and dreaming about the next trip.
When the World Stopped to Listen
From the acclaimed author of A Natural History of the Piano, the captivating story of the 1958 international piano competition in Moscow, where, at the height of Cold War tensions, an American musician showed the potential of art to change the world. April of 1958--the Iron Curtain was at its heaviest, and the outcome of the Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition seemed preordained. Nonetheless, as star musicians from across the globe descended on Moscow, an unlikely favorite emerged: Van Cliburn, a polite, lanky Texan whose passionate virtuosity captured the Russian spirit. This is the story of what unfolded that spring--for Cliburn and the other competitors, jurors, party officials, and citizens of the world who were touched by the outcome. It is a behind-the-scenes look at one of the most remarkable events in musical history, filled with political intrigue and personal struggle as artists strove for self-expression and governments jockeyed for prestige. And, at the core of it all: the value of artistic achievement, the supremacy of the heart, and the transcendent freedom that can be found, through music, even in the darkest moments of human history.
2010
wenn man Europa als einen Kommunikationsraum und -zusammenhang versteht, dann liegt die Versuchung nahe, nach den Menschen zu fragen, die in der (Vor-)Moderne diesen Raum "erfahren" und in ihm kommuniziert haben. Das Jahrbuch 2010 stellt "europäische" Erfahrungen von Künstlern - Maler, Bildhauer, Architekten, aber auch Musiker - vor. Die Grundannahme ist, dass sich Künstler mehr als andere Sozialgruppen von ihrer jeweiligen Umgebung, die sie "erfahren", inspirieren lassen, aus dem fremden Ambiente Anregungen aufnehmen und in ihrem jeweiligen Werk umsetzen. Dass sie auch aus ihrer angestammten Heimat Impulse in ihren neuen künstlerischen Kontext einfließen lassen, versteht sich von selbst - Transferleistungen erfolgten grund-sätzlich in beiden Richtungen.
Slava
""Slava" actually means honor, glory and fame. But it is also the name of one of the most important family celebrations of Saints in the Greek Orthodox church, where the family celebrates its own guardian angel. Luka is growing up in a traditional Serbian family, where Slava has survived from generation to generation, and where families gather on Slava.At one time, Lukas parents travel to Denmark to seek their fortune there, and Luka must follow. New conditions of life and influence from another culture take Luka by surprise, but Slava must be carried on, as tradition prescribes."
