Health and Happiness
by Emanuel Cheraskin, M.D., D.M.D. (1989)
It almost seems as if there is no rhyme or
reason to health and happiness. But there
is... and it's lifestyle. Those who seem to
be well are characterized largely by
positive social habits (pluses). The
unhealthy and unhappy are more often than
not laden with poor lifestyles (minuses).
Within these pages you will find the simple
techniques for measuring your own way of
life.

The Schizophrenias: Ours to Conquer
by Carl C. Pfeiffer, Ph.D., M.D., Richard
Mailloux, B.S. and Linda Forsythe, B.A.
"This impressive volume contains the
observations and theories about the
schizophrenias gathered by Carl Pfeiffer and
colleagues over more than twenty years. I
have heard Dr. Pfeiffer lecture dozens of
times and have always enjoyed listening to
his clear exposition of his work. More
important, I always learn something.
Unfortunately, too few psychiatrists have
been wise enough to attend his lectures.
They can remedy this deficiency by studying
this book. " - Abram Hoffer, M.D., Ph.D.

Medical Mavericks Vol. 1
by Hugh Desaix Riordan, M.D. (1988)
Often reviled by their contemporaries,
medical mavericks blazed the trail of
scientific progress. These tales of
discovery, personal hardship, court
intrigues, and hardball professional rivalry
make for fascinating reading. Medical
Mavericks will raise the eyebrows of many,
and bring a sense of relief to contemporary
mavericks who can take comfort in the
thought that at least they aren't being
burned at the stake.

Medical Mavericks, Volume Two
continues what Volume One started. This is a
good book for medical professionals, history
buffs, and anyone who wants to learn more
about the pioneers in the field of medicine.
After all, even the concept that physicians
need to wash their hands was once ridiculed.
