Book Description
The subject of this book is a stranger than fiction change in personalities, behaviors and relationships including the gradual loss of language and the meaning of words. Nineteen lives are chronicled as told by caregivers, each selected for the drama and strangeness of behavior or cognition. These clinical tales are intended for the general reader who is interested in how the brain processes language, behavior, emotions, meaning and morality and in particular for the families, who sometimes suffer more than the patients. In each chapter the recurrent symptoms, the biology of an underlying brain disorder and the social and cultural aspects of the behavior change is explored. Technical terms and their origin is explained. The vivid and accurate case histories and the last three chapters reviewing and updating the biology, genetics and the pharmacology have educational value for professionals as well. There is a special chapter: “Tips for caregivers” and a glossary.

Book Description
I have been writing this book my entire life. From the shameful moments I hung my head in the toilet to the times I wouldn't eat for 8 days. It became normal for me to spend evenings alone bingeing on a loaf of bread and honey or a whole BBQ chicken. You will learn about my past of eating disorders, drug taking, and depression. By following the Raw till 4 Lifestyle I've finally found peace, balance, and purpose. I've overcome Irritable bowel syndrome, acne, hypothyroidism, depression and lost over 40lbs of excessive blubber. I used to jump from diet to diet and waste thousands of dollars following the terrible advice of so-called "health care professionals." I survived the starvation Bikini plans, the Paleo programme, the Keto Diet, metabolic typing, water fasting, juice feasting... you name it, I've tried it. These programmes only left me fatter and more depressed. Then I stumbled on the power of a raw food diet and fruit. Raw Till 4 combines a raw and cooked food approach to a vegan lifestyle. Over the years I woke to the realization that animals are not food and eating them is not only cruel but unnecessary and extremely unhealthy. As you will soon find out a plant-based diet is the healthiest diet for humans. This book gives you everything you need to succeed on this high carb vegan lifestyle: A 30-day meal planner, 4-week shopping list, exercise guide, over 55 color recipes, RT4 Diet Pyramid and so much more. It's time to become the healthiest, happiest, kick-ass person you know! BOOM! Time to go fruit yourself. ;-) By Freelee

Friendship, deceit, fear, and persecution at an elite boarding school for young women in Rwanda, fifteen years before the 1994 genocide of the Tutsi . . . “Mukasonga’s masterpiece” (Julian Lucas, NYRB) Scholastique Mukasonga drops us into an elite Catholic boarding school for young women perched on the edge of the Nile. Parents send their daughters to Our Lady of the Nile to be molded into respectable citizens and to escape the dangers of the outside world. Fifteen years prior to the 1994 Rwandan genocide, we watch as these girls try on their parents’ preconceptions and attitudes, transforming the lycée into a microcosm of the country’s mounting racial tensions and violence. In the midst of the interminable rainy season, everything unfolds behind the closed doors of the school: friendship, curiosity, fear, deceit, prejudice, and persecution. With masterful prose that is at once subtle and penetrating, Mukasonga captures a society hurtling towards horror.
