SynopsisPresents an unified theory of nutrient deficiency and dependency. The authors prove that large, controlled doses of vitamin B-3 or niacin, are effective in preventing, treating, and even reversing such niacin deficiency and dependency disorders as pellagra, schizophrenia, Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease., Featuring 380 full-colour anatomical acupuncture images with point locations, this unique book covers all the major meridians and the most commonly used extra points, while combining descriptions of both the Western and Eastern indications for each point. This is the only practical handbook specifically designed for use by naturopathic, CAM, and integrative medical students and practitioners., First book in a new series from an author to watch Twenty-nine-year-old, independent, and self-assured Cambridge history professor Emma D'Eresby has one obsession in life: the curious journal of a seventeenth-century Englishman, a portion of which was left to her by her late grandfather. When an unexpected opportunity to study the journal in its entirety presents itself, Emma finds herself leaving Cambridge to take up a year-long position at a prestigious university in Maine. Anticipating a quiet year of research, Emma quickly discovers her work impeded by a range of unforeseen complications. From the start, there is the well-intentioned matchmaking of her vivacious Russian colleague, Elena Smalova, and the unexpected jailing of one of her post-graduate students. More troublesome, however, are the unsolved, brutal night attacks on women near the university and Emma's suspicion that they might be linked to the sinister English professor, Kort Staahl. But, most diverting and disconcerting of all, is Emma's growing attraction to the strikingly handsome Dr. Matthew Lynes, whose kind but deliberately distant demeanor puzzles her. Suspense and dread mount when Kort begins to take a persistent and unsettling interest in Emma. What are Kort's intentions, and what is he capable of? And the mystery surrounding Matthew only deepens when Emma discovers a link between him and the journal. What is Matthew trying to hide? "An ominous sense of developing tension ... a most fluent writer." --Colin Dexter, creator of Inspector Morse "Vivid prose which will hold a reader's attention to a riveting conclusion." --Mel Starr, author of The Unquiet Bones "A tense and accomplished debut novel blending romance with thriller." --Fay Sampson, author of The Hunted Hare "An impressive debut for a promising new writer. One to watch." --Taylor Holden, author of The Sense of Paper
