Synopsis

Brain Chemistry explores the biological basis of addiction, revealing how addictive substances fundamentally alter neural pathways and impair rational decision-making. Addiction isn't simply a matter of willpower; instead, it's a complex interplay of biological vulnerabilities and environmental influences that rewire the brain. Understanding the brain's reward system, including the roles of dopamine and serotonin, is crucial for comprehending addiction. The book delves into the neurochemical changes caused by addictive substances, the impairment of cognitive functions like impulse control and risk assessment, and the long-term effects on brain structure and function.

 
It progresses by first introducing basic principles of brain chemistry, followed by sections focused on specific neurochemical changes, cognitive impairments, and structural changes. This approach provides a comprehensive understanding of how addiction impacts the brain.

 
This book is unique in its accessible yet rigorous exploration of addiction's neurobiology, bridging biology, psychology, and social science. It integrates molecular-level details with cognitive and behavioral manifestations, offering valuable insights for students, healthcare professionals, and anyone seeking to understand the science behind addiction.

A social history of Labradors, and how they have become the world’s most beloved dogs, by writer, presenter and long-time dog lover Ben Fogle.
Labradors are the most popular breed of dog in the world. Not only a great family companion, they also excel at hunting, tracking, retrieving, guiding and rescuing. But where did the breed originally come from? How did it develop? When did black, yellow and chocolate Labradors first appear? Did they really all come from Labrador in Canada and are they really all related to just one dog?
In this first history of the Labrador, Ben Fogle goes in search of what makes Labradors so special. Their extraordinary companionship, intelligence, work ethic and loyalty is captured by Ben as he weaves the story of the breed into his own story of his beloved Inca.
