It is their only diplomatic blunder, and it proves to be fatal.

Body respect : what conventional health books get wrong, leave out, and just plain fail to understand about weight / by Bacon, Lindo,1963-; Aphramor, Lucy,1967-(CARDINAL)501822;

Includes bibliographical references and index."Body insecurity is rampant, and it doesn't have to be. Think for a moment about your attitudes toward weight: Do you believe that people who are thinner are more healthy and attractive? Do you think dieting is an effective health strategy? Do you judge yourself or others because of weight? If you answered yes to any of those questions, you're not alone. It's much more common for people to feel bad about their bodies than to appreciate them-and to judge others by those standards as well. But people don't have to be packaged in a small size to be valuable and attractive-or healthy for that matter. Saying that they do causes more harm than good, and judgments based on size tell us more about our own prejudice than someone else's health or value. It's time to show every body respect. With the latest findings from the Health at Every Size© (HAES) movement, Body Respect debunks obesity myths, demonstrates the damage of focusing on weight, and explores how social factors impact health: the world is not a level playing field, and that affects one's opportunities as well as one's size, health and sense of self. Using peer-reviewed evidence and common sense, scientists and nutritionists Linda Bacon and Lucy Aphramor explain the fall-out of a health agenda based on the concept that thinness is the goal and that one's weight is simply a matter of personal choices. They explore why diets don't work and provide alternative paths to better health and well-being for people of all shapes. Body Respect is indispensable reading for anyone concerned about widespread body insecurity and size stigma and their many implications"--

Medication madness : a psychiatrist exposes the dangers of mood-altering medications / by Breggin, Peter Roger,1936-(CARDINAL)517139;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 361-375) and index.What is medication spellbinding? -- The toothless watchdog growls -- Killing the pain-and almost the cop -- The man with too many complaints -- Young girl murderers in the making -- Doctors driven mad by medications -- Killing loved ones to save the world -- Drug-induced "happy faces" -- Not quite twelve years old -- Sleeping pill madness -- Tranquilized into violence -- A courtroom Christmas story -- A vicious addiction -- He wanted to do better in school -- Spellbound by Ritalin addiction -- Parents forced to drug their children -- This is not my daughter -- Dilemmas in the role of the medical expert -- Drug companies on trial -- Marketing myths and the truth about psychiatric medication -- Spellbound by drug withdrawal reactions -- Making drug withdrawal as safe as possible -- The tough question of personal responsibility -- Choose your last resort wisely.Medications for everything from depression and anxiety to ADHD and insomnia are being prescribed in alarming numbers across the country, but the "cure" is often worse than the original problem. The weight of scientific evidence and years of clinical experience eventually convinced psychiatrist Dr. Breggin that psychiatric drugs frequently cause individuals to lose their judgment and their ability to control their emotions and actions. Here he examines the issues surrounding personal responsibility when behavior seems driven by drug-induced adverse reactions and intoxication. This book is a frightening, dramatic look at the role that psychiatric medications have played in fifty cases of suicide, murder, and other violent, criminal, and bizarre behaviors. It serves as a cautionary tale about our reliance on potentially dangerous psychoactive chemicals to relieve our emotional problems and provides a positive approach to taking personal charge of our lives.--From publisher description.

Unplugged : my journey into the dark world of video game addiction / by Van Cleave, Ryan G.,1972-(CARDINAL)705017;

MARCIVE 08/05/10Admitting I'm a video game junkie -- Range wars, or how I got hooked -- Networking at Nothern Illinois University (NIU) -- Why I really left NIU -- Mea culpa -- Connecting at last -- The war at work -- At war with my family and myself -- Dependence -- Why I couldn't stop -- Recovery -- Getting unplugged -- Three true atories -- What the experts say.WARNING: This video game may impair your judgment. It may cause sleep deprivation, alienation of friends and family, weight loss or gain, neglect of one's basic needs as well as the needs of loved ones and/or dependents, and decreased performance on the job. The distinction between fantasy and reality may become blurred. Play at your own risk. Not responsible for suicide attempts, whether failed or successful. No such warning was included on the latest and greatest release from the Warcraft series of massive multiplayer on-line role-playing games (MMORPGs) World of Warcraft (WoW). So when the author, a college professor, husband, father, and one of the 11.5 million Warcraft subscribers worldwide found himself teetering on the edge of the Arlington Memorial Bridge, he had no one to blame but himself. He had neglected his wife and children and had jeopardized his livelihood, all for the rush of living a life of high adventure in a virtual world. Ultimately, he decided to live, but not for the sake of his family or for a newly found love of life: he had to get back home for his evening session of Warcraft. This book takes us on a journey through his semi-reclusive life with video games at the center of his experiences. Even when he was sexually molested by a young school teacher at age eleven, it was the promise of a new video game that lured him to her house. As his life progresses, we witness the evolution of videogames from simple two-button consoles to today's complicated multi-key technology, brilliantly designed to keep the user actively participating. As is the case with most recovering addicts, he eventually hits rock bottom and shares with the reader his ongoing battle to control his impulses to play, providing prescriptive advice and resources for those caught in the grip of this very real addiction.

The fat artist : and other stories / by Hale, Benjamin,author.(CARDINAL)500542;

"The smart, witty collection from the prize-winning and bestselling author of The Evolution of Bruno Littlemore, which The New York Times Book Review called "an absolute pleasure" explores the dark secrets under the surface of contemporary American lives. As he brilliantly accomplished in The Evolution of Bruno Littlemore, Benjamin Hale's The Fat Artist and Other Stories holds a mirror to the world, pairing absurdity with philosophical musings on the human condition to expose the power of the secret self. From a man's illicit tryst cut short by his estranged son's homecoming, a prostitute dominatrix about to be caught with a dead US congressman, to a performance artist whose grotesque weight gain becomes an art world phenomenon, Hale's deliberate prose, dark humor, and unforgettable characters explore the secrets beneath the surface of contemporary American lives. In The Fat Artist and Other Stories, Hale openly embraces the grotesque side of human nature and the unnerving intersection between life and death, art and ridicule, consumption and creation"--
