The Nature Principle: Human Restoration and the End of Nature-Deficit Disorder $24.95 “The immediacy of Richard Louv ‘s message in “Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder” galvanized an international movement to reconnect children with nature. Now, in “The Nature Principle, ” Louv reaches even further with a powerful call to action for the rest of us. >Our society, says Louv, has developed such an outsized faith in technology that we have yet to fully realize or even adequately study how human capacities are enhanced through the power of nature. Supported by groundbreaking research, anecdotal evidence, and compelling personal stories, Louv shows us how tapping into the restorative powers of the natural world can boost mental acuity and creativity; promote health and wellness; build smarter and more sustainable businesses, communities, and economies; and ultimately strengthen human bonds. As he says in his introduction, “The Nature Principle” is about the power of living in nature not “with” it, but “in” it. We are entering the most creative period in history. The twenty-first century will be the century of human restoration in the natural world. >Richard Louv makes a convincing case that through a nature-balanced existence driven by sound economic, social, and environmental solutions the human race can and will thrive. This timely, inspiring, and important work will give readers renewed hope while challenging them to rethink the way we live.”

Clinical Pharmacology of Sleep $7.79 The field of sleep medicine is growing rapidly, and the clinical pharmacology of sleep is gaining much attention from sleep physicians. Many new drugs are in the process of being developed and tested for their possible usefulness in the treatment of sleep disorders. The opportunity for further advancement in this field is very promising.This volume covers the clinical and pharmacological treatment of several important sleep disorders such as insomnia, sleep apnea, narcolepsy, restless legs syndrome, and periodic limb movement syndrome. It further addresses the use of sleep medications in children, adolescents, and in the elderly. It offers a comprehensive overview of the currently available hypnotic medications and covers aspects of chronopharmacology and its implications for the pharmacology of sleep. It also reviews the basic science of sleep and sleep disorders, and thus the potential development of new pharmacological approaches.The book will be useful for physicians, psychopharmacologists, psychiatrists, sleep disorder specialists and other healthcare professionals such as nurses, social workers and graduate medical students.

Combating Sleep Disorders $35 Approximately 70 million people in the United States are affected by a sleep problem. About 40 million Americans suffer from chronic sleep disorders, and an additional 20-30 million are affected by intermittent sleep-related problems. However, an overwhelming majority of sleep disorders remain undiagnosed and untreated. Some of the most common ones are insomnia, restless legs syndrome, parasomnias, circadian rhythm disorders, excessive daytime sleepiness, night terrors, sleep apnea, periodic limb movement disorder, and narcolepsy. Long standing sleep disturbances can lead to nonproductive lifestyles, poor work performance, weight gain, difficulty with concentration, and social avoidance. Some disorders, like sleep apnea, can lead to even more serious problems such as high blood pressure, heart attack, and stroke. Therefore, there is an urgent need for this introduction to the subject of sleep disorders.Chapters include information on symptoms and problems that signal a possible sleep disorder, descriptions of sleep loss effects and their demographics, definitions of common sleep disorders, explanations of various medical and psychological tests for sleep disorder diagnosis, essential medical treatments, guided intervention to change thinking about sleep and related health habits, alternative interventions, follow-up and maintenance issues, and behavioral changes. Appendices include a list of accredited sleep laboratories and resources, suggested readings, and suggested exercises and activities.

Medifocus Guidebook on: Restless Legs Syndrome $19.5 The MediFocus Guidebook on Restless Legs Syndrome is the most comprehensive, up-to-date source of information available. You will get answers to your questions, including risk factors of Restless Legs Syndrome, standard and alternative treatment options, leading doctors, hospitals and medical centers that specialize in Restless Legs Syndrome, results of the latest clinical trials, support groups and additional resources, and promising new treatments on the horizon. This one of a kind Guidebook offers answers to your critical health questions including the latest treatments, clinical trials, and expert research; high quality, professional level information you can trust and understand culled from the latest peer-reviewed journals; and a unique resource to find leading experts, institutions, and support organizations including contact information and hyperlinks. This Guidebook was updated on November 21, 2010.Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is a neurological disorder that is characterized by the following four major features: 1) a compulsory desire to move the limbs usually associated with a sensation of burning or tingling; 2) motor movement to relieve the discomfort such as floor pacing, leg rubbing, or streching the limb; 3) partial or temporary relief of symptoms by activity; and 4) worsening of the symptoms at rest and in the evening or night. Patients with RLS may also experience sleep disturbances and periodic leg movements either during sleep or while awake.The prevalence of RLS in the general population has been estimated to range from 2% to 15% and it occurs more frequently in women than men. Although the symptoms of RLS can start at any age, in about 50% of patients the onset of symptoms begins before age 20. RLS often affects members of the same family and recent research indicates that there may be an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance.Doctors still do not exactly understand what causes RLS. In fact, most cases of RLS are

Sleep $169 This volume comprises five sections: the first looks at the semiotics of normal sleep in adults and children, sleep mechanisms and the major physiological functions and mental activity during sleep. The second section is a review of the different means of investigating sleep and wakefulness and the methods of analysis currently available. The third section deals with the disorders of sleep and wakefulness, insomnias, hypersomnias, circadian rhythm sleep disorders and parasomnias. The fourth section describes a number of medical disorders which are either sleep-related or simply exacerbated by sleep: snoring, chronic obstructive lung diseases, restless legs syndrome or periodic limb movement disorder, sleep epilepsies, etc. The final section encompasses disorders which are not sleep-dependent but to which sleep investigations may add further insight, such as mood disorders, certain neurological pathologies, dysautonomias, and again, epilepsy. The appendix contains questionnaires, indexes, and assessment scales designed to assist the clinician in evaluating the different disorders. The present edition, written in English is a complete revision of the two preceding French editions. It represents the work of European and North and South American specialists.

Sleep: Physiology, Investigations and Medicine $169 Sleep medicine is a recent discipline but its field of knowledge is already extensive. This results from the progress made in understanding sleep-wake mechanisms, the development of reliable means of investigation, and advances in our knowledge of the nosology of the disorders of sleep and wakefulness. This volume comprises five sections: the first looks at the semiotics of normal sleep in adults and children, sleep mechanisms and the major physiological functions and mental activity during sleep. The second section is a review of the different means of investigating sleep and wakefulness and the methods of analysis currently available.

The appendix contains questionnaires, indexes, and assessment scales designed to assist the clinician in evaluating the different disorders. The present edition, written in English is a complete revision of the two preceding French editions. It represents the work of European and North and South American specialists. Doctors and surgeons interested in sleep, cardiologists, internists, neurologists, ENT specialists, pneumologists, psychiatrists andrheumatologists will find state-of-the-art information on sleep physiology and pathology, with means of evaluation, decision trees and appendices to assist them in their approach to patients affected by disorders of sleep and wakefulness.

The Interface of Sleep Medicine and Movement Disorders $159 The neurotransmitter, dopamine (DA), plays a fundamental role in wakefulness and arousal. Although many questions still remain about its role in mediating these two critical processes, recent electrophysiological, and neuropharmacological, imaging and genetic studies have revealed new fascinating and detailed information. One of the most important, but yet controversial areas in neuroscience today revolves around dopamine administration in dopamine deficient states. For example, dopamine administration in Parkinson’s disease (PD) provides a critical medium by which many of its sleep-related effects have been studied and argued. Preliminary findings tend to indicate that the administration of a DA D3-preferring agonist induces somnolence and sleep in laboratory animals and man. Activation of postsynaptic DA D1 or D2 receptors increases wakefulness but selective stimulation of DA D2 autoreceptors or blockade of DA D1 or D2 receptors induces the opposite effects, while activation of the DA D3 receptor induces severe hypersomnia and sudden irresistible sleep attacks.Sleep-related movement disorders such as restless legs syndrome (RLS) and periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD) are closely related movement disorders, which can disturb sleep onset and sleep maintenance. Although the mechanisms that underlie idiopathic RLS or PLMD are not fully understood, there is currently substantial evidence that dopaminergic dysfunction is likely involved: First, the symptoms of RLS and PLMD are responsive to treatment with dopaminergic agents; secondly, neuroimaging studies using positron emission tomography (PET) suggests dopaminergic hypofunction; and finally, decreased dopamine D2 receptor binding and 6-[18F]fluoro-L-dopa (FDOPA) uptake was shown in the putamen and caudate nuclei in patients with RLS. In contrast, marked striatal dopamine depletion was demonstrated in patients with REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) as the base for the clinical and nosological
