Summary

The Victorian Dr. Thomas Allinson founded the famous Allinson bread firm in 1892 and wrote five volumes of medical essays outlining his beliefs that food was an important factor in health. His sage advice was an anathema to his Victorian peers and he was struck off in an age where medicines were made of mercury and arsenic. His outrageous beliefs included exercise being good for health, the need for a work-life balance for better efficiency and health, avoiding tea and coffee in the evening to promote better sleep and obesity being caused by eating too much.  These misguided beliefs are so relevant to todays market and written in a wonderfully anachronistic but accessible manner. Best-selling author and food and health expert Anna Selby has edited his five books into one volume, incorporating chapters such as vegetarianism, exercise and the work-life balance, as well as a chapter containing some of his quirkier beliefs.
Available since: 06/15/2010.

    "Principles of Economics" by Carl Menger is a seminal work in the field of economics, laying the foundation for the Austrian School of Economics. First published in 1871, Menger's book revolutionized economic thought by emphasizing the subjective nature of economic value and the role of individual preferences in determining prices. Menger's analysis of marginal utility and his explanation of how goods derive their value from their ability to satisfy human wants mark significant departures from classical economic theories prevalent at the time. This book remains essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the fundamentals of economic theory and the origins of modern economic thought.

    This is a 5-book combo. These are the five subjects that are included: 
Subject 1: Sometimes, when people are diagnosed with bipolar disorder, the diagnosis is wrong. In some cases, the condition is mistaken for borderline personality disorder, or the main essence of the disorder is still missing. We will investigate this further, as well as some of the criteria that a diagnosis like that has to meet. 
  
Subject 2: What causes someone to have Borderline Personality Disorder? Well, the opinions vary, and each person’s life is different, but to point you in the right direction, we’ll discuss some patterns and common life events and traumas that can contribute to it. 
Subject 3: Many people try to get a grasp of what goes on in the mind of a serial killer. Today, we can at least show you a limited perspective and some solid insights in the workings of their brains. 
Subject 4: Are narcissists sociopaths?  
  
And if they are different, then can someone be both? 
  
These and many other questions will be answered in this guide. You will learn, on top of that, how parents can struggle with sociopathic kids and how you can do better. You will also learn about the American culture and why sociopaths are generally liked by the masses (trust me, it’s true… I’ve seen it over and over again: Fake wins over the truth in a culture driven by emotion, drama, and glamour.) 
Subject 5: What are the symptoms of narcissism? 
  
Are there different types of narcissists? 
  
These and many other questions will be addressed. Narcissism in students, in children, and in others will be laid out and explained in further detail. There are many things to learn about narcissism, so become familiar with it now!
