Book Description
I have written this book with the hope of causing those that believe in the falseness of religion to understand the difference between religion life and spiritually. Man-made religion has no power to change our minds or our thoughts. True spiritually is of the life of the resurrection, which is in our words. All of our problems are caused by religion, as there is no knowledge of a living God in religion. Therefore, we accept death as being normal and this causes us to see God as being a God of both life and death or a God of both light and darkness etc. As you well know, the scripture says, you cannot believe in both God and man, as a double-minded person cannot receive anything from God, which is life. To make a long story short, this book is about the life of the resurrection and this war on terrorism. As you well know this war is taking away your freedom because the government cannot protect you by the law. Your protection from death is in the words that you speak, as death and life is in the power of your tongue. The life of God is in words of the day and death is in words of the night, so you need to read this book.

Book Description
This 1986 volume of the Handbook of Psychiatry covers that area of psychiatry contiguous with general medicine, and in particular neurology. It raises general issues especially with respect to fundamental problems of the mind-body relationship, and deals with medical disorders related to psychiatry. The topics discussed include ischaemic heart disease, peptic ulcers, bronchial asthma, renal failure, endocrine disorders and ageing as well as neuropsychiatry. There is also an account of selected aspects of severe subnormality, concentrating on the practical management of the severely handicapped child and adult. Throughout this volume the contributors provide a clinically relevant account of their topics. The volume will continue to hold value as a comprehensive survey of the medical history of mental disorders associated with somatic illness.

Book Description
To a certain extent the dementias have been forgotten diseases until just recen tly when they were brought to the attention of the general public and health authorities as a result of the increasing number of cases in the aging popula tion, especially among famous people, and because of the efforts of private foundations. The goals of the present volume are to present the dementias to health prac titioners, to provide some basic information on their epidemiology and biolo gical basis and to discuss the diagnostic and clinical problems that physicians and institutions face when caring for demented patients. This book explores the various types of dementias and is not limited to Alzheimer's disease although, as expected, more information is available and presented on this pathology. On the other hand, a few fundamental questions on dementia can only be answe red through a comparison of the various forms. Examples of such questions are the following: Is the loss of cerebral tissue sufficient to cause dementia? Are there thresholds or is there a continuous progression toward the irreversible development of dementia? Are there common pathways in the dementing pro cess? Are there common risk factors? Comparative analysis allows the common and distinctive patterns of the various dementias to be defined, ultimately lea ding to more focused therapeutic interventions.
