WARNING: HOME CHEF AT WORK Fine dining at home with family and friends is one of life's true pleasures, yet the kitchen can be a dangerous place. Fire, electricity, heat, scalding hot water, smoke, sharp knives and culinary gizmos and gadgets all present dangers that would not go unnoticed in any environment other than the kitchen. Combined with wine and alcohol, it's no wonder that accidental kitchen fires are the #1 source of home fires and fire injuries, with cuts, burns, bruises and choking incidents the leading reasons for hospital emergency room visits. The Home Chef's Emergency Medical Guide is a useful kitchen companion for every home chef, whether he or she is toiling over a sizzling saute pan, wielding a razor-sharp Japanese chopping knife or blowtorching a creme brulee. While not a substitute for professional medical treatment, this is a first-line guide to prevention and emergency care amid the mayhem that often occurs preparing a fine meal at home. Jack Sholl is a science and medical writer. Illustrations: Jamie Cooper Editorial direction: Veronica Rodriguez

When will there be normal solutions for the emotional pains of normal people? In recent times, it has become quite difficult to tell what is normal from what is abnormal in any mind. Any attempt to define what is "normal" tends to raise unnecessary debates due to one of the ABCs of the mind - its fluidity. However what is more important in the midst of unhelpful arguments and debates are people suffering in an epidemic of unhappiness. Unfortunately, because there are no statutory services for normal people who are suffering psychologically, but are not mentally disordered per se, the treatments for disordered people are routinely offered to normal people to little or no avail. By focusing on the fundamentals of the mind, this book uses the normality of difficult emotional experiences, their natural antidotes and prevention to offer a route to happiness and fulfillment.

In the spring of 2004, James Bean faced a failed marriage, the death of his father, and a floundering career in comedy-with no one to talk to. He began visualizing a world without him and planned the details of his suicide. The world would go on, and he would become a statistic, particularly in Las Vegas, where the suicide rate is uncommonly high. Minutes before taking his life, however, Bean realized his life had been an incredible journey, and he thought seriously of his love for his five-year-old daughter.

In When the Humor Is Gone, Bean shares an honest and inspiring look at suicide as he recounts his brush with death and recalls how he was able to move past his suicidal thoughts. Through his experiences with depression and suicide and the recollections of others who have endured the suicidal death of a loved one, Bean offers advice for getting therapy, obtaining family support, and finding purpose and meaning in life.

When the Humor Is Gone presents Bean's love letter to the world-his legacy of care, hope, and empathy for those who are living under the gripping vice of depression.
