Weaving together cutting-edge research and startling case studies, Infectious Madness shows how strep throat can trigger OCD in a formerly healthy teen, how a pregnant woman's contact with cat litter can lead to schizophrenia in her child, and how gut bacteria that leak into the bloodstream may play a role in autism. That's right-you can "catch" mental illness. In her astonishing new book, author Harriet Washington reveals that many instances of schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, Alzheimer's, Tourette's, bipolar disorder, and anorexia are likely caused by bacteria, parasites, or viruses. But in recent years, a new theory has quietly achieved critical mass. What causes mental illness? Traditionally, we've blamed bad parenting, stress, trauma, genetics, and brain-chemistry imbalances.

Convinced Cotton would never get out of prison, Thompson moved on with her life as best she could. Found guilty, he was given two life sentences and fifty-four years. Two years later the appellate court vacated Cotton’s sentence citing an error in the trial, and he was retried for raping Ms. Cotton, who had a shaky alibi and a minor criminal record, was tried and convicted he was sentenced to life plus fifty years for first-degree rape, first-degree sexual offense, and first-degree breaking and entering. Thompson identified Cotton in a police lineup, even though she was unsure he was her rapist. At the police department, she gamely assisted in the development of a composite sketch, and Ronald Cotton was arrested shortly thereafter. Cunningly, she was able to escape and her assailant fled. During the assault she made it a point to look at her assailant and memorize what she could about his appearance.

If you have lots of time on your hands and want to read several books, go ahead and read this one too. If you have to read one book on pregnancy, do yourself a favor and pick a different one than What to Expect. The first book I got after my baby was born was What To Expect the First Year, and I couldn't live without that either! I don't have my mother around to give me advice anymore, and these books feel like a mom sitting you down with a nice cup of tea and telling you exactly what they say: what to expect. Essentially this book kept me well informed so that I didn't freak out about things (like loosing my mucus plug one morning at work) and knew what to look out for and when to call the doctor. When the my overly clinical other books told me to panic if I hadn't noticed the baby moving for three hours, What to expect told me that that actually happens to most women sometime in the third trimester, why I should be concerned, and again, how extremely low the probability was that something was actually wrong, but that I should still check in with my doctor just in case. reminded me how minute the chances actually were. While other books were telling me that if I'd had a glass of wine before I knew I was pregnant, my child would have extra limbs and no face, What to Expect.

It was written and published in his journal Navjivan from 1925 to 1929. His early boyhood life, legal studies, purification, and ultimate salvation of his homeland are carefully recounted in this inspiring and critical work of insurmountable importance. But I shall not mind if every page of it speaks only of my experiments." The Story of My Experiments with Truth is the personal account of the life of the man who freed India from colonization through the Satyagraha-non-violent protest–movement. I simply want to tell the story of my experiments with truth, and as my life consist of nothing but experiments it is true that the story will take the shape of an autobiography. "It is not my purpose to attempt a real autobiography. "I love that it's unclear to me whether she's shielding her eyes so she can see, or covering them so that she doesn't have to - something else that's perfectly suited to the book," Nina said. Although she had no idea how it looked until it arrived, she said the artwork perfectly captured the story and its two settings of San Francisco's Ocean Beach and New York. The cover below was a total surprise to Nina. Marin will be forced to face everything that's been left unsaid for months and finally confront the loneliness that made a home in her heart years ago. Now that winter break is upon her, and the campus has emptied, Mabel is coming to visit.
