Sinossi

Samuel Pepys' "Diary of Samuel Pepys — Complete 1661 N.S" offers a vivid and intimate portrait of life in 17th-century England, eloquently capturing the personal and public upheavals of the time. Written in a detailed, engaging style, the diary entries reflect Pepys' astute observations of contemporary events, ranging from the Great Plague to the Great Fire of London. The narrative unfolds in a blend of formal and colloquial language, intertwining personal reflections with historical commentary, making it a vital primary source for understanding the Restoration period. Samuel Pepys, a naval administrator and Member of Parliament, kept his diary from 1660 to 1669, motivated by a desire to document his life and witness the significant transformations in England. His background in government and society propelled him into the heart of historical events, as he mingled with prominent figures of his time, illuminating the complexities of the era's politics, culture, and daily life. Pepys' meticulousness and candidness allow readers to glimpse his private thoughts and experiences amidst the larger societal shifts. This work is highly recommended for anyone interested in historical literature, as it transcends mere documentation to provide an engaging narrative that resonates with contemporary readers. Pepys' diary is not only a rich resource for historians but also an entertaining read that offers timeless insights into human nature and societal change.

    Philippa Langley took the world by storm when, against all the odds and a seven-year investigation, she discovered the grave of King Richard III (1452-1485) in a Leicester car park. A king finally laid to rest, the rediscovery and reburial of Richard III was watched by an estimated global audience of over 366 million. 
     
    Now, Langley reveals the findings of a remarkable new research initiative: ‘The Missing Princes Project’. In the summer of 1483, Edward V (aged 12) and his brother Richard Duke of York (aged 9), disappeared from the Tower of London. For over 500 years, history has judged that they were murdered on the orders of their uncle Richard III. 
     
    Following years of intensive research in UK, American and European archives, astonishing new archival discoveries have been uncovered that change what we know about the fate of the Princes in the Tower. Established by Langley in 2016, ‘The Missing Princes Project’ employed the methods of a cold-case police enquiry. Using investigative methodology, it aimed to place this most enduring of mysteries under a forensic microscope for the first time. 
     
    In The Princes in the Tower: Solving History's Greatest Cold Case, Langley records the painstaking investigative work and research of the project. By questioning received wisdom, she and her team shed light upon one of history's greatest miscarriages of justice, revealing a phenomenal untold story.

    Brain injuries can result in highly specific and surprising changes in behavior that have revealed to us how the mind works.The brain is the most complicated object in the known universe. After spending millennia trying to understand our ever-changing world, the brain is now turning its capacities for reasoning, remembering, and understanding inward, as it tries to understand itself.The biggest breakthroughs in neuroscience have come mostly by accident. These accidents didn't happen in research labs. They happened on railway job sites, in showers, on bicycles, in cars or were the result of infections from uncommon diseases.When an individual suffers brain damage as the result of an accident or illness, the negative effects can be profound—life altering and lifelong—yet the insights offered by the effects of these injuries have been revolutionary for neuroscientists. Through an examination of landmark cases of traumatic brain injury, Dr. Lorin J. Elias explains how each case has expanded our understanding of the mind.

    Multiple sclerosis (MS), a progressive neurologic disease, is characterized by a host of physical symptoms. But the neurobehavioral consequences of MS can be as devastating and debilitating as physical symptoms, and they are often unreported and undertreated. In this new book, Dr. Anthony Feinstein, a neuropsychiatrist, documents the effects of MS on cognition, information processing speed, learning and memory, executive function, personality, mood, and behavior.
    Feinstein touches on a number of topics, including
    •    the common cognitive challenges that occur with MS, such as slowed information processing speed, impaired memory, and executive function deficits 
    •    psychiatric disorders that accompany MS, such as depression and psychosis
    •    current neuropsychological, brain MRI, and treatment data applicable to the psychiatric and cognitive disorders
    Mind, Mood, and Memory in Multiple Sclerosis is enhanced both by the latest science and by eloquent case histories that illustrate each cognitive and emotional disorder. Feinstein also provides recommendations for evidence-based therapeutic interventions. Written in an immediate, accessible way, this book has a crossover appeal, making it of interest not only to neurologists, psychiatrists, neuropsychiatrists, neuropsychologists, psychologists, occupational therapists, and nurses but also to people with MS and their caregivers, family, and friends.
