  This well-researched and highly critical examination of the state of our mental health system by the industry's most relentless critic presents a new and controversial explanation as to why—in spite of spending $147 billion annually—140,000 seriously mentally ill are homeless, 390,000 are incarcerated, and even educated, tenacious, and caring people can't get treatment for their mentally ill loved ones. DJ Jaffe blames the mental health industry and the government for shunning the 10 million adults who are the most seriously mentally ill—mainly those who suffer from schizophrenia and severe bipolar disorder—and, instead, working to improve "mental wellness" in 43 million others, many of whom are barely symptomatic. Using industry and government documents, scientific journals, and anecdotes from his thirty years of advocacy, Jaffe documents the insane consequences of these industry-driven policies: psychiatric hospitals for the seriously ill are still being closed; involuntary commitment criteria are being narrowed to the point where laws now require violence rather than prevent it; the public is endangered; and the mentally ill and their families are forced to suffer.

  Read by the author, Tim Smedley.The Times Book of the Year pickA gripping, thought-provoking and ultimately optimistic investigation into the world’s next great climate crisis – the scarcity of water.‘Smart, sobering, and scholarly. ’ – Steve Brusatte, author of The Rise and Fall of DinosaursWater scarcity is the next big climate crisis. Water stress – not just scarcity, but also quality issues caused by pollution – is already driving the first waves of climate refugees. Rivers are drying out before they meet the oceans and ancient lakes are disappearing. It’s increasingly clear that human mismanagement of water is dangerously unsustainable, for both ecological and human survival. And yet in recent years some key countries have been quietly and very successfully addressing water stress.How are Singapore and Israel, for example – both severely water-stressed countries – not in the same predicament as Chennai or California?In The Last Drop, award-winning environmental journalist Tim Smedley meets experts, victims, activists and pioneers to find out how we can mend the water table that our survival depends upon. He offers a fascinating, universally relevant account of the environmental and human factors that have led us to this point, and suggests practical ways to address the crisis, before it’s too late.'You will never see the water you use in the same way again' – Helen Czerski, BBC broadcaster

  ★ What is AIP Diet? ★The Auto-Immune Protocol (AIP) is a diet recommended for those suffering from autoimmune diseases or pain and with a high degree of systemic inflammation, but also for those interested in deep detoxification of the organism or in doubt that some very common foods, and normally allowed in other food plans, can be a source of intolerance.★ Why AIP Diet? ★It is a therapeutic elimination and reintroduction diet that has a solid scientific basis, created for autoimmune diseases.But also a therapeutic diet to fill nutritional deficiencies, to rebalance the microbiome, to reduce intestinal inflammation and treat the leaky gut, for hormonal balance, to increase antioxidant defenses, to regain energy, to reduce systemic inflammation (and the cardiovascular consequences).The effects on weight control are there but, in my opinion, secondary and a consequence of the recovery of health and well-being. We talk about the Autoimmune Protocol when there are autoimmune disorders or diseases associated with impaired intestinal permeability (leaky gut) with an autoimmune response, such as:rheumatoid arthritis, celiac disease, depression, type 1 diabetes, hypothyroidism, Crohn's disease, narcolepsy, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, Hashimoto's, thyroiditis, vitiligo...★ How does it work? ★It is an elimination diet. This means that it provides for the exclusion of some food groups to observe the effects on health in the following weeks (3-6 weeks).In the first phase, foods and drugs that could be linked to intestinal inflammation or microbiota imbalances are eliminated. Especially products and foods that are known to cause allergies or unwanted reactions are evaluated.♥  So, starting from a concept of CLEAN FOOD, we have created 80 easy recipes, accessible to beginners and not, to    approach this food plan, experiment with it and immediately feel the benefits.✓Enjoy the Diet, Enjoy new life !!!

  "Mastering Java: Building Robust Applications: A Comprehensive Guide to Java Programming." With this book, learning Java can be achieved through step-by-step mastery of the language's fundamentals and ways of creating robust, highly scalable applications. 
  It starts with the discussion of the basics of object-oriented programming, Java syntax, and the basic libraries in Java. Then it moves to more advanced topics, such as file I-O, exception handling, data structures, and multithreading.  
  It continues providing step-by-step explanations and real-world examples, and therefore practical exercises that could well show a glimpse of how one might write transparent, efficient code while managing complex programs. 
  Even tough topics such as memory management, concurrency, and the Java Collections Framework are elucidated well by decomposition of major ideas into smaller pieces in each chapter. Best techniques on debugging, performance optimization, and safe maintainable code writing will also be used in this course. 
  Mastering Java: Building Robust Applications if you are a software developer or just want to advance your skills of Java, there is everything you will need to know and all the resources you'll need in this book.  
  Read the remainder of the book so you can apply your knowledge to give you the confidence that comes with knowing you can use the full power of Java's vast resources in the construction of high-performance programs.

  Dogopolis - How Dogs and Humans...

  Dogopolis presents a surprising source for urban innovation in the history of three major cities: human-canine relationships. 
    
  Stroll through any American or European city today and you probably won’t get far before seeing a dog being taken for a walk. It’s expected that these domesticated animals can easily navigate sidewalks, streets, and other foundational elements of our built environment. But what if our cities were actually shaped in response to dogs more than we ever realized? 
   
  Chris Pearson’s Dogopolis boldly and convincingly asserts that human-canine relations were a crucial factor in the formation of modern urban living. Focusing on New York, London, and Paris from the early nineteenth century into the 1930s, Pearson shows that human reactions to dogs significantly remolded them and other contemporary western cities. It’s an unalterable fact that dogs—often filthy, bellicose, and sometimes off-putting—run away, spread rabies, defecate, and breed wherever they like, so as dogs became a more and more common in nineteenth-century middle-class life, cities had to respond to people’s fear of them and revulsion at their least desirable traits. The gradual integration of dogs into city life centered on disgust at dirt, fear of crime and vagrancy, and the promotion of humanitarian sentiments. On the other hand, dogs are some people’s most beloved animal companions, and human compassion and affection for pets and strays were equally powerful forces in shaping urban modernity. Dogopolis details the complex interrelations among emotions, sentiment, and the ways we manifest our feelings toward what we love—showing that together they can actually reshape society.
