Editorial Reviews:

This edition of popular neuroscience and psychology publication Scientific American Mind features a riveting cover story about the burgeoning field of "neurocriminology",which seeks to identify and even manipulate the biological, environmental, and genetic roots of criminal behavior. Five additional articles delve into related neuropsychology issues, presenting research and discussion about topics including the scientific explanation for crying (a trait unique to humans), why people suffer from migraines, the causes behind phantom voices, and even the questions and controversy surrounding increased medical use of brains-scanning technology in recent years.

Skilled voice actor Mark Morans clear, measured narration makes it easy to enjoy and understand these varied and extremely educational articles.

Members Reviews:

Best of this series so far...

Highlights include an analysis of brain imaging in the courtroom and why this science is far too inperfect at this stage to replace human judgment and how crying resets our parasympathetic nervous system...

Quite Dry

I lost interest in the material mostly because of the presentation. This was my introduction to Scientific American Mind, and perhaps this isn't their best. The first story was much more of an argument about why brain scans should not be used in assigning culpability in trial than a discussion of the science of brain scans. The other stories were better, but they lacked the depth of detail that I was hoping for. I will try another edition and hope the content and presentation are better.

Unexciting Survey of Medical History (Review by Ryan Mease)

This was an unexciting and scattered survey of the history of medical science, hitting on a lot of the key figures but having no central thesis to entertain the reader on their journey. I'm sure there are better alternatives on the market. The audiobook is accurate and easy-to-understand, just unexceptional. -Ryan Mease

Title: Poe's Heart and the Mountain Climber

Subtitle: Exploring the Effect of Anxiety on Our Brains & Culture

Author: Richard Restak

Narrator: Scott Brick

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 28 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-17-04

Publisher: Books on Tape

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 61 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Medicine

Publisher's Summary:

Bombarded by a constant media feed about global terrorism, war, rising unemployment rates, and a mind-numbing array of ads that urge us to "ask our doctor" about the newest anti-anxiety medication, it feels as if this country is having a collective anxiety attack. In fact, anxiety is one of the most common mental health problems in America.

Poe's Heart and the Mountain Climber tackles this disorder head-on, with a fresh perspective and a straightforward approach to understanding our anxiety before it paralyzes us. The message is vital and empowering: anxiety is not a mental illness that must require medication, but often a normal, biological response to stress.

Critic Reviews:

"Restak dispels worry about worry and tenders sensible strategies for quelling it." (Booklist)

Members Reviews:

Well written, easy to listen to.

I think that this is a really well written book on anxiety, if you can get over all the 9/11 references in the first few chapters. The fourth chapter and on is really good, it is not too simplified, this author actually thinks that listeners have brain cells. He describes the brain areas responsible for anxiety and associated disorders and how the wiring of these areas may result in abnormal function under some circumstances, yet be advantageous in others. The one lost star is for the overwhelming "how to deal with 9/11" introduction, which would likely be lost on most Canadians.

Title: Executive Briefing

Subtitle: High-Tech Healthcare

Author: Ginger Graham

Narrator: Ginger Graham

Length: 50 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-12-01

Publisher: Stanford Audio

Ratings: 2.5 of 5 out of 6 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Medicine

Publisher's Summary:

While much of the medical technology industry is focused on providing patient-friendly procedures, well informed providers, and more involved consumers, new technology is often viewed as harder to use, potentially more risky, and certainly more costly. How do we bring healthcare delivery into the 21st century with hospitals, provider networks, payors and regulators slowing or blocking access to new technology rather than facilitating its acceptance? Innovation of products, services, delivery and payment schemes must occur if we are to supply the aging world with the tools and information necessary for longer, healthier, and more productive lives. Graham presents her ideas for innovation, public policy, and political environment that support invention and rapid product introduction.

Title: Carved in Sand

Author: Cathryn Jakobson Ramin

Narrator: Cathryn Jakobson Ramin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 59 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-18-07

Publisher: HarperAudio

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 53 votes

Genres: Science & Technology, Medicine

Publisher's Summary:

Acclaimed journalist Cathryn Jakobson Ramin takes readers on a lively journey to explain what happens to memory and attention in middle age.

Anyone older than 40 knows that forgetfulness can be unnerving, frustrating, and sometimes terrifying. With compassion and humor, Jakobson Ramin sets out to discover what midlife forgetfulness is all about, from the perspectives of physiology, psychology, and sociology. Relentless in her search for answers to questions about her own unreliable memory, she explores the factors that determine how well or poorly one's brain will age. She consults experts in the fields of sleep, stress, traumatic brain injury, hormones, genetics, and dementia, as well as specialists in nutrition, cognitive psychology, and the burgeoning field of drug-based cognitive enhancement. The landscape of the midlife brain is not what you might think, and to understand its strengths and weaknesses turns out to be the best way to cope.

A groundbreaking work that represents the best of narrative nonfiction, this is a timely, highly readable, and much-needed book for anyone whose memory is not what it used to be.

Critic Reviews:

"The variety of perspectives and the wealth of scientific information Ramin provides, as well as her warm personal style, will reward readers and may well help them stay mentally sharp. (Publishers Weekly)

Members Reviews:

Bland but not boring

For me this read like a book report. She had a good outline, used some examples, a few analogies, and did great research. Grade = A+. However, I think I would have better identified with her humor, and the prominently featured ballroom dancing, menopause, and the touching story of an Alzheimer's patient - if I were a 50 year old women. Either way it's a good book worth buying.

Clming of some of my fears

I am in my mid seventys and I have a problem. My wife and I seam to have the worst case of forgetting things. I have been in fear that we both were on the path to that terrable disease and this book layed to rest these fears. I have had to hear the book twice to understand most of the materal.

Exhilerating and Practical, too!

This author is kindof crazy... subjecting herself to all sorts of treatments, diets, programs, and medical exams in order to answer the question, "what causes middle-aged memory loss, and what can we do about it?"

At 28, I'm not exactly middle aged, but I came out of the book with helpful tips to begin following right now for optimum brain health down the road. It's hardly a boring how-to book, though. Full of dialogue, anecdotes, research data and more, it's a fun read.

Whiney

I thought I would really like this book, but the narrator just seemed whiney. See seeks numerous opinions as to her memory loss and after a while, well, I just got tired of hearing it. This is the first time I have ever gotten into my car and said to myself "I can't wait to see what this lady will whine about this time." You might ask why have I stuck it out this far? (I have two hours left). It's because I hate to give up on anything.

Wading through the anecdotes

I got bogged down in the many, MANY anecdotes of peoples' memory lapses, and ended up not finishing the book.

Regurgitated

MARCH 2014 REVIEW RE-WRITE: I went back to read through this for some recipes and tips. I had to re-write this review. I found a few points contradictory, for example.

* To bring solid coconut oil to liquid, use the microwave - AND - To bring solid coconut oil to liquid, run the container under hot water.

It was never mentioned that coconut oil melts at a low temp. so just rub it between your hand.

* The subtitle mentions 6 varieties of coconut oil, but only goes on to mention 5.

* Organic coconuts are grown on SOLELY organic manure.

* Cooking with coconut oil at high temperatures "oil isn't damaged"

BUT...here is where I get irritated with some Kindle books out there on foods...

COPYING AND PASTING RECIPES FROM OTHER ONLINE SOURCES DOES NOT BRING CREDIBILITY TO THE BOOK

(i.e. amazingpaleo.com & paleoplan.com)

You can find the recipes by title online

Sort of an amateur book, almost like a college essay project

I guess I just expected something else. No offense intended to the author, but this is a rather short, amateurish kind of book, it does not have a lot of content. It also does not go very deeply into the topic, has short chapters, looks like it was done on a word processor, and just isn't written in a very sophisticated way. Again, no offense intended to the author, but there are a lot of other books that are far more comprehensive on this topic.

Great ideas for use of coconut oil

We use coconut oil for many things in our house from diaper rash cream, lotions and cooking. This book offered some great ideas for more ways to use coconut milk. It is a bit of a dry read which is why I only gave it 4 stars

Coconut oil

I really like all the info this book has in it. It has been very helpful and informative, I am already using a lot of the ideas

good stuff!

Easy and fast to read. I can't wait to try some of the recipes! Some of the benefits I didn't even know!

Very Interesting

This book gives very interesting information about something that's not conveyed at your doctor's office or in the media... and I have to say that I like the approach. As someone who is becoming more of a fan of natural remedies and nutrients, this book puts everything into a clearer, more defined perspective. At the end, the author even provides a list of practitioners that have something to say about Integrative Medicine. Like I said, very interesting stuff.

Lots of Valuable Information

This is a great book. George is informed on this subject and you can see he really cares to make sure he is a solution to this skyrocketing health problem.

Informative.

A very easy read. Clear, concise, easy to understand and informative.

One Star

There is NO way to "get rid of diabetes" Obviously this author does not have diabetes.
