  In “Sleep”, Carlos H. Schenck, M.D., a leading sleep expert with over 40 years experience, presents a probing exploration of sleep, an activity that occupies over 200,000 hours of our lives. This timeless book delves into the intricate processes of sleep and the peculiar dysfunctions that can emerge, ranging from common issues like insomnia and sleep apnea to the more mysterious and extreme disorders known as “parasomnias”. These include dream enactment, sleep related eating disorder, sexsomnia, night terrors, and sleep violence, which surprisingly affect millions. 
  What distinguishes Dr. Schenck's work is his focus on the forefront of sleep science, particularly in identifying and treating parasomnias. He reveals their connection to more typical sleep problems and the implications for their treatment. The book is enriched with startling real-life examples from Dr. Schenck's extensive clinical practice, such as a woman who discovers chocolate wrappers in her bed upon waking or a man who, in his sleep, mistakenly perceives his wife as a threat. These narratives, drawn directly from patient experiences, illustrate the often terrifying and dangerous aspects of these disorders, offering hope and solutions to those affected and their families. 
  Significantly, each chapter of the book encompasses a wide range of sleep disorders, enriched with personal stories reported by Dr. Schenck's patients. These accounts provide an intimate first-person perspective on living with these conditions, making the book a uniquely relevant and comprehensive guide for anyone suffering from sleep disorders. By combining engaging patient narratives with the latest in medical research, "Sleep" serves as an essential resource for understanding and navigating the complex world of sleep disorders, shedding light on one of our most enigmatic medical puzzles.

  American Disgust - Racism...

  American Disgust shows how perceptions of disgust and fears of contamination are rooted in the country's history of colonialism and racism. Drawing on colonial, corporate, and medical archives, Matthew J. Wolf-Meyer argues that microbial medicine is closely entwined with changing cultural experiences of digestion, excrement, and disgust that are inextricably tied to the creation of whiteness. 
   
   
   
  Ranging from nineteenth-century colonial encounters with Native people to John Harvey Kellogg's ideas around civilization and bowel movements to mid-twentieth-century diet and parenting advice books, Wolf-Meyer analyzes how embedded racist histories of digestion and disgust permeate contemporary debates around fecal microbial transplants and other bacteriotherapeutic treatments for gastrointestinal disease. 
   
   
   
  At its core, American Disgust wrestles with how changing cultural notions of digestion—what goes into the body and what comes out of it—create and impose racial categories motivated by feelings of disgust rooted in American settler-colonial racism. It shows how disgust is a changing, yet fundamental, aspect of American subjectivity and that engaging with it—personally, politically, and theoretically—opens up possibilities for conceptualizing health at the individual, societal, and planetary levels.

  A classic of travel writing, this book recounts Stevenson's adventures on an extended walk through uplands and mountains in south-western France. Humorous on his own failings as a traveller, and on his travails with Modestine the self-willed donkey, it is also an exploration of peasant life in an area marked by the violence of the wars of religion. This version includes the fragment "A mountain town in France", originally intended as the opening chapter, but often omitted and published as a separate essay. (Summary by Patrick Wallace)
