Most adults take at least one prescription medication for example,
for high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, depression,
asthma, diabetes, COPD, or a variety of other reasons, but most
people (and many healthcare providers) are totally unaware that
medications can have direct negative effects on sexual functioning
and performance. This informative and timely book written by three
well-known medications experts explores the chemistry behind sexual
arousal in men and women and clearly and authoritatively explains
how the common categories of prescription and over-the-counter
medications and abused substances might be the reason for their
declining sexual performance or even interest.
What is the prevalence of insomnia in a particular age group, in
men and women, or in Caucasians and African Americans? What is the
average total sleep time among normal sleepers among these groups?
How does the sleep of Caucasians and African Americans differ?
These are just some of the questions addressed in The Epidemiology
of Sleep. This new book presents the most detailed and
comprehensive archive of normal and abnormal sleep patterns. Based
on a landmark study supported by the National Institute on Aging,
772 subjects from a host of populations including men, women, and
various age and ethnic groups, prepared detailed sleep diaries for
a two-week period. The use of these sleep diaries yielded a
plethora of data on such characteristics as normal sleep patterns,
various forms of insomnia, fatigue, depression, anxiety, and
daytime sleepiness differentiated by age, sex, and ethnicity. The
results generated by these data, charted in the book's numerous
tables and graphs, provide a critical methodological advance in the
sleep literature. The Epidemiology of Sleep opens with an overview
of the rationale and unique characteristics of the study. This is
followed by a comprehensive review of the existing epidemiological
literature on sleep. Chapter three presents a detailed description
of the methods used in the survey followed by meticulous
information on the epidemiology of normal and insomnia sleep, that
is unparalleled in the literature. Chapter six provides an archive
of sleep patterns among African Americans. The book concludes with
a discussion and interpretation of the most interesting findings.
This insightful study, coupled with the comprehensive review of the
existing literature on the epidemiology of sleep, make this volume
an invaluable resource for sleep researchers, clinicians, health
and clinical psychologists, gerontologists, epidemiologists, and
advanced students.

This book draws on the latest literature to highlight a fundamental
challenge in offender rehabilitation; it questions the ability of
contemporary approaches to address this challenge, and proposes an
alternative strategy of criminal justice that integrates control,
opportunity, and autonomy. * Provides an up to date review of the
links between cognition and criminal behavior, as well as treatment
and rehabilitation * Engages directly with the antisocial
underpinnings of criminal behavior, a major impediment to treatment
and rehabilitation * Outlines a clear strategy for communicating
with offenders which is firmly rooted in the "What Works"
literature, is evidence-based, and provides a way of engaging even
the most antisocial of offenders by presenting them with meaningful
opportunities to change * Provides hands-on instructions based upon
the real-life tactics and presentation of the high-risk offender *
Offers a way forward for a more meaningful and effective system of
criminal justice

This book presents a comprehensive overview of the global climate
change impacts caused by the continued use of fossil fuels, which
results in enormous damage to the global environment, biodiversity,
and human health. It argues that the key to a transition to a low
carbon future is the rapid and large-scale deployment of renewable
energy technologies in power generation, transport and industry,
coupled with super energy-efficient building design and
construction. However, the author also reveals how major oil
companies and petrochemical conglomerates have systematically
attempted to manufacture doubt and uncertainty about global warming
and climate change, continue to block the commercialization of
solar energy and wind power, and impede the electrification of the
transport sector. Martin Bush's solution is a theory-of-change
approach to substantially reduce greenhouse-gas emissions by 2050,
which sets out realistic steps that people can take now to help
make a difference.
