Book excerpt: Janet Wilson is a married attorney living in Erie, Pennsylvania, who's been having recurring nightmares about a man dressed in black burglarizing her home. The man in black whistles the nursery rhyme London Bridge is "Falling Down" as he carefully picks through her things. With loaded gun in hand, Janet startles him. He attacks her; she shoots him yet he crawls after her before he dies. But what truly frightens Janet is with each dream her attacker gets closer and closer until finally he touches her just before she awakens. Her husband, Dr. Michael Wilson, a clinical psychiatrist, convinces her that this is just a dream until several strange occurrences begin taking place, distorting fantasy with reality. There are other things buried deep within Janet's memory of her childhood, such as who was the young woman with black hair? Why is Regina, her imaginary childhood friend, contacting her again after all of these years? What is the significance of the handheld mirror given to her a long time ago by her mother? As she struggles to find the answers the events that gradually unfold reveal that nothing is what it seems.
Download or read book Diana Lively is Falling Down written by Sheila Curran and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2005-07-05 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like the legendary London Bridge, Diana Lively has been transplanted from England to the Arizona desert. Also, she seems to be falling down. Trained as an architect, top in her class, she makes dollhouses. Widowed young and beautiful, she distrusted people who were kind to her, and married Ted, the one man who wasn’t. Maybe it’s a good thing that Diana Lively’s life is suddenly out of her control. Billionaire American Wally “The Ammo King” Gold also lost a spouse young, and in memory of his beloved Anglophile wife, Wally wants to fund Arthurian Studies at Oxford—and also to bring back to Arizona an expert consultant for his King Arthur Theme Park. Ted Lively, Arthurian scholar, fond of sherry and pretty undergraduates when he can take time off from belittling his wife, most definitely does not want to go and live among the barbarians of Arizona. But Oxford, eager to please Wally, gives him no choice. So the Livelys are off to Phoenix, where Diana pictures deadly scorpions, tarantulas and snakes, and Ted bewails the loss of his children’s perfect accents. And yet, in this most unlikely place, in the most surprising ways, Diana is about to discover that the happiness she thought was lost forever can shower down on her again, can flood her dry life like a lake in the desert, and make it bloom.
Download or read book Sleep and Aging written by Mark P. Mattson and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2005-06-20 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sleep and Aging provides a unique and timely collection of review articles that cover the gamut of basic and clinical aspects of sleep and the abnormalities in sleep associated with aging and neurological disorders that occur during aging. From the evolutionary basis of sleep and its normal functions in processes such as learning and memory, to considerations of the roles of sleep abnormalities in neurological disorders such as depression, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, the chapters are written by experts in the field. Several chapters focus on signalling pathways involved in sleep regulation and abnormalities in sleep, including those activated by serotonin and BDNF. Basic and clinical research on insomnia, sleep apnea and other disorders of sleep, are covered thus providing students and scientists at all levels with a valuable source of information to advance their understanding of this important topic in aging, biology and medicine. The circuits in the brain involved in sleep regulation, their neurochemistry, how they are altered in disorders of sleep and current clinical treatments of various sleep disorders are reviewed. The important role of sleep disturbances in neurodegenerative disorders is described and research in this particular area is leading to a better understanding of the relationships between synaptic plasticity, neuronal degeneration and the clinical manifestations of disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and depression. This book is a must for scientists, as well as non-scientists, who are interested in the neurobiology of aging, sleep and neurodegenerative disorders.
