    There's a silent epidemic in Western civilization, and it is right under our noses. Our jaws are getting smaller and our teeth crooked and crowded, creating not only aesthetic challenges but also difficulties with breathing. Modern orthodontics has persuaded us that braces and oral devices can correct these problems. While teeth can certainly be straightened, what about the underlying causes of this rapid shift in oral evolution and the health risks posed by obstructed airways?Sandra Kahn and Paul R. Ehrlich, a pioneering orthodontist and a world-renowned evolutionist, respectively, present the biological, dietary, and cultural changes that have driven us toward this major health challenge. They propose simple adjustments that can alleviate this developing crisis, as well as a major alternative to orthodontics that promises more significant long-term relief.Jaws will change your life. Every parent should listen to this audiobook.

    The emergence of color psychology as a subject is considered to be one of the newest branches in psychology. Color Psychology is defined as the science or the study of the effects that colors tend to have over the moods, behaviors or feelings of the people. Color psychology is used in various fields because of the effects that colors tend to have over different determinants of human behavior. Color Psychology is considered to be a part of modern psychology. 
    Colors help in determining the various unclear perceptions. There is no direct relation between the perception and color however they greatly complement each other. Colors help in improvising the effectiveness of the placebos. Color Psychology is widely used in the field of marketing and branding. The big companies and business consider color as an important part of their marketing strategy due to the fact that the colors of their products, goods, and services highly affect the perceptions and emotions of their customers which as a result determines the purchase rates of the products, goods or services. Colors have been used for treating the illnesses of the people which is known as Chromotherapy. Colors also affect the performing ability of an individual. A relation exists between the color and the time.  
    Hence, it can be said that the color psychology is used in diverse fields and constitutes an important part of our lives.

    A courageous female journalist’s classic exposé of the horrific treatment of the mentally ill in nineteenth-century America In 1887, Nellie Bly accepted an assignment from publisher Joseph Pulitzer of the New York World and went undercover at the lunatic asylum on Blackwell Island, America’s first municipal mental hospital. Calling herself “Nellie Brown,” she was able to convince policemen, a judge, and a series of doctors of her madness with a few well-practiced facial expressions of derangement. At the institution, Bly discovered the stuff of nightmares. Mentally ill patients were fed rotten, inedible food; violently abused by a brutal, uncaring staff; and misdiagnosed, mistreated, or generally ignored by the doctors and so-called mental health experts entrusted with their care. To her horror, Bly encountered sane patients who had been committed on the barest of pretenses and came to the shocking realization that, while the Blackwell Island asylum was remarkably easy to get into, it was nearly impossible to leave. This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.
