    As you age, you may find yourself worrying about your memory. Where did I put those car keys? What time was my appointment? What was her name again? With more than 41 million Americans over the age of 65 in the United States, the question becomes how much (or, perhaps, what type) of memory loss is to be expected as one gets older and what should trigger a visit to the doctor. 
     
     
     
    Seven Steps to Managing Your Aging Memory addresses these key concerns and more, such as: 
     
     
     
    ● What are the signs that suggest your memory problems are more than just part of normal aging? 
     
     
     
    ● Is it normal to have concerns about your memory? 
     
     
     
    ● What are the markers of mild cognitive impairment, dementia, Alzheimer's, and other brain diseases? 
     
     
     
    ● How should you talk about your memory concerns to your doctor? What should your doctor do to evaluate your memory? 
     
     
     
    ● Which healthcare professional(s) should you see? What medicines, alternative therapies, diets, and exercises actually work to improve your memory? What other resources are available when dealing with memory loss?

    “Porter has unearthed a radically new history of human genetics, one that evokes not the double helix but the humble filing cabinet.” —Emily M. Kern, ScienceIn the early 1800s, a century before there was any concept of the gene, physicians in insane asylums began to record causes of madness in their admission books. Almost from the beginning, they pointed to heredity as the most important of these causes. As doctors and state officials steadily lost faith in the capacity of asylum care to stem the terrible increase of insanity, they began emphasizing the need to curb the reproduction of the insane. They became obsessed with identifying weak or tainted families and anticipating the outcomes of their marriages. Genetics in the Madhouse is the untold story of how the collection and sorting of hereditary data in mental hospitals, schools for “feebleminded” children, and prisons gave rise to a new science of human heredity.In this compelling book, Theodore Porter draws on untapped archival evidence from across Europe and North America to bring to light the hidden history behind modern genetics. He looks at the institutional use of pedigree charts, censuses of mental illness, medical-social surveys, and other data techniques—innovative quantitative practices that were worked out in the madhouse long before the manipulation of DNA became possible in the lab. Porter argues that asylum doctors developed many of the ideologies and methods of what would come to be known as eugenics, and deepens our appreciation of the moral issues at stake in data work conducted on the border of subjectivity and science.

    The friendship that launched a thousand adventures is about to embark on the greatest one of all… 
    Ever since Stuart Carlson and Dusty Danforth met as kids on a dig in Egypt, they've been best friends, supporting each other through heartaches, triumphs, and countless archaeological expeditions. So when Stuart gets hired to help run the American excavations at Troy, he asks Dusty to join him as the site illustrator. 
    For Dusty, the Troy project isn't just another adventure. It’s the chance to tell Stuart how she really feels. After years of pining for him, she’s ready for more than friendship. 
    But soon after they arrive at the site in Turkey, they're caught up in a feud with a group of German archaeologists. While both teams are eager to make a major find, Stuart's boss is so determined to beat his rivals that he's willing to break a few rules. Or laws. 
    As Stuart and Dusty work together to keep the dig on track, they give in to the passion that's been simmering under the surface. But will their romance survive when their boss's scheme puts the entire project in jeopardy?
