Per molto tempo, il sonno è stato uno degli aspetti più importanti e meno compresi della nostra vita, del nostro benessere e della longevità, ma negli ultimi vent'anni un'esplosione di scoperte scientifiche ha iniziato a gettare nuova luce sull'argomento. Matthew Walker, neuroscienziato, uno dei massimi esperti sull'argomento, direttore del Center for Human Sleep Science dell'Università della California a Berkeley, ci spiega in questo libro avvincente, accessibile ma di assoluto rigore scientifico che il sonno è d'importanza vitale: dormire migliora la nostra capacità d'imparare e prendere decisioni, ricalibra le emozioni, rimette in sesto il sistema immunitario e regola l'appetito. 'Perché dormiamo' è una rivoluzionaria esplorazione del sonno, che ci spiega come possiamo sfruttarne gli straordinari poteri per cambiare in meglio le nostre vite. Un libro che trasformerà il vostro modo di vedere il sonno e i sogni e di apprezzarne il valore.

ABC of Epilepsy provides a practical guide for general practitioners, and all those working in primary care, on the diagnosis, treatment and management of epilepsy, and for the continued monitoring and long term support of what is still a relatively poorly understood neurological disorder.

This brand new title in the ABC series is highly illustrated throughout and presents what epilepsy is, its classification, and how to diagnose it. It covers anti-epileptic drugs and non-drug treatments, as well as self-management and living with epilepsy.

Edited by a general practitioner and neurologist team, the ABC of Epilepsy reflects current NICE guidelines and is ideal for all GPs, primary health care professionals, practice nurses and specialist nurses, and non-specialist medical staff who play an increasing role in monitoring and managing of epilepsy patients.
