Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Everyone dreads the words " Alzheimer ' s disease " and " dementia. " And everyone who  plans to live beyond age sixty-five is at some risk. Dr. Tiffany Chow, a prominent  clinician and neuroscientist, offers knowledge and hope about an illness where  there is, as yet, no cure. Aimed at patients and their families, The Memory Clinic  is a comprehensive and ultimately reassuring work about the prevention and  management of dementia. Chow herself has a genetic legacy of Alzheimer ' s disease, and she probes what  she -- and everyone else -- can do to mitigate the impact of genetics through nutrition,  exercise, and the concepts of cerebral reserve and brain plasticity. But it is in  her front-line role managing the suffering caused by dementia and aiding caregivers  where Chow ' s compassionate voice is most inspiring. She emphasizes that both  patients and caregivers need to feel safe, healthy, happy, and loved, and that meeting  these basic needs daily takes skill at balancing life ' s demands and is itself part of the  protective shield against dementia ' s effects. Dr. Chow has written an accessible and fascinating guide through the mysteries of  the brain ' s deterioration in dementia. And as an empathetic physician who sees the  person behind the symptoms, she offers practical strategies and comfort to both  the afflicted and their caregivers. …

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Written in a fast-paced episodic style that pays fitting homage to the black-and-white cinema adventure serials of yesteryear, this is an engaging memoir of the unpredictable (and at times perilous) life of the late Wong Kee Hung, an itinerant cinema manager swept up in the postwar cinema industry boom of 1950s and 60s Malaysia and Singapore. Kee Hung's line of work threw him into contact with a menagerie of characters ranging from movie stars and politicians to gangsters and headhunters. Armed with just a foldable camp bed and mosquito net, his wanderings took him into unfamiliar and sometimes dangerous territory. This book follows him closely along these journeys. The notes and diaries he kept of his adventures were discovered by his son after his death and have been woven into a glorious first person account written from the perspective of Kee Hung himself.…

Both terrifying and hauntingly beautiful, Chow masterfully uses literal and figurative monsters to explore the themes of grief and how we handle loss. Climb aboard the midnight train! Things wondrous and terrible await you. Twelve-year-old Reggie Wong has a quick temper that's always getting him into trouble at school, while at home his mom struggles to get out of bed--let alone leave their apartment. That's why Reggie desperately needs his dad back. One problem: His dad is dead. Enter the Conductor, a peculiar man who promises to make Reggie's wish to see his father just one more time come true. All he must do is climb aboard the man's subway train, which leaves St. Patrick Station promptly at midnight. Desperate to have his dad and happy family back, Reggie takes him up on the offer, only to discover the train is filled with other children who have lost a loved one, just like him. As he speeds through the wild, uncharted tunnels beneath the city, Reggie meets Chantal, an annoyingly peppy girl obsessed with lists and psychiatry, and Gareth, his arch-nemesis and bully since the fourth grade. As each kid steps off the train and into the arms of their lost family member, Reggie can't believe his impossible wish is about to come true. But when Reggie comes to the end of the line and sees his father waiting for him, he soon discovers all is not as it seems. He and his unlikely new friends have been ensnared in a deadly trap.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. When did kindess become a sign of weakness? What if kindness actually has the power to change the world? Culture is at a crossroads when it comes to kindness. These days we either view kindess as an inert act based on the absence of being a jerk, or we see acts of kindness as heroic and herculean, beyond the reach and capability of mere mortals. Choosing kindness is also exhausting. The public and private back-and-forth exchanges of hatred and de-humanizing that is more about ratings, retweets, and winning than relationships and community is taking a toll on our motivation to even contemplate kindness as a valid response. In Defense of Kindness makes a case that we each can choose kindness as a way to experience community and wholeness in new ways. With a playful spirit, tender heart, and unwavering commitment to justice, kindness enthusiast Reyes-Chow explores the many ways in which kindness can bring about healing, wholeness, and hope in ourselves and the world. Through unfiltered sharing of his own experiences, Bruce invites the reader into an adventure of discovery and rediscovery of kindness of heart, mind, spirit, and action.…
