Описание: Walther Birkmayer, one of the co-discoverers of the neuro- chemical causes of Parkinson's disease and of its treatment by neurotransmitter-replacement therapy, and his former col- laborator and colleague Peter Riederer have succeeded in this book in giving us an outline and overview of current knowl- edge of the biochemistry of the brain and synaptic transmis- sion between nerve cells, together with an appreciation of how these factors relate to recent findings in human behavioural science, an area in which both authors have made substantial contributions. Ethology is the systematic study of behaviour, and its impor- tance was recognized by the award of the Nobel Prize for Medicine to its founders and principal exponents Konrad Lorenz, Niko Tinbergen and Karl von Frisch. Human behav- ioural science extends their methods to human beings, and we owe the application of these methods in the human field to among others Irenaeus von Eibl-Eibesfeldt as far as normal human behaviour is concerned, and to Dieter von Ploog for the study of abnormal behaviour. These workers have played a decisive part in helping us to understand the biological factors that govern human behaviour. Fundamental to all these stud- ies is the way we humans feel, and thanks to our ability to express our feelings, thoughts and emotions in words, we can accurately describe these feelings, thoughts and emotions, not only in normal circumstances but also when we believe them to be disturbed.
Описание: A passionate and heartrending memoir of tragedy and perseverance from an opiate addict in an opiate addicted community, and an up-close look at America's new health crisis.
Nick Bush was a good kid--many of them are--and no one saw it coming. At first it didn't seem so bad. Then came the cravings. And then came Nick's status as one of the three million people in the United States alone who abuse opiates. Estimates for global abuse of opiates surpass thirty-six million. Deaths in the US from opiate abuse increased 21 percent from 2016 to 2017; forty-two thousand people died and, as a result, for the second year in a row, the life expectancy of Americans dropped . The death count for 2017 is still pending, but the CDC has said it increased substantially and shows no sign of abating. Both Nick's sister and younger brother died from opiate overdoses. So did many of his friends.
Incredibly, the stories of the people suffering from opiate addiction rarely get told. Legislation to fight the epidemic is proposed and then thrown out or insufficiently implemented. And people continue to suffer. Communities are torn apart from generation to generation.
In One by One, Nick steps out of the opiate shadows to share his page-turning true story. He is remarkably candid about how he became an addict, as well as the stories of those around him, the deaths of his siblings and friends, and what rock bottom is like. He also brings courage, sharing how he overcame the disease and inspiring others to do the same. This read brings humanity to the disease, faces to the addiction, and an understanding of how it takes hold of people and how to help them before it's too late.
