Curing Stubborn Depression: Hope and Help from the Front Lines of Medicine
Hope and help arrives in this psychiatrist's preview of emerging and breakthrough therapies for treating more severe, treatment-resistant depression. We all get down from time to time. But sometimes we get stuck. Perhaps you know someone who seems trapped in low moods too much of time. Chances are they suffer from stubborn depression. Depression is a ubiquitous, disabling disorder that has rocketed to the forefront of popular discourse within a surprisingly brief period of time. However, despite affecting almost one in five people at some stage in their lives, it is a condition about which most people are opinionated, but lacking sufficient knowledge. Curing Stubborn Depression aims to tackle this head on, especially as it concerns the treatment of depression at a time when the field is rapidly changing. Written by a psychiatrist with over 20 years of experience, Curing Stubborn Depression addresses the myths about what depression is and its causes as well as delves into the emerging range of new treatments which are transforming how this condition is managed, especially in its most serious form. Exploring these new therapies is designed to provide hope: that the outlook for patients is changing for the better.- Shop: buecher

The Passion of Tiger Woods: An Anthropologist Reports on Golf, Race, and Celebrity Scandal , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 262min
Perhaps the best golfer ever, Tiger Woods rocketed to the top of a once whites-only sport. Endorsements made him a global brand and the world’s richest athlete. The child of a multiracial marriage, Woods and his blond, blue-eyed wife, Elin Nordegren, seemed to represent a new postracial America. Then, in late 2009, Woods became embroiled in a sex scandal that made headlines worldwide. In this concise yet far-reaching analysis, Orin Starn brings an anthropologist’s perspective to bear on Tigergate. He explores our modern media obsession with celebrity scandals and their tawdry ritualized drama, yet he offers much more than the usual banal moralizing about the rich and famous. Starn explains how Tiger’s travails and the culture of golf reflect broader American anxieties - about race and sex, scapegoating and betrayal, and the role of the sports hero. The Passion of Tiger Woods is required listening for all those interested in the high-stakes world of professional golf, the politics of sports and celebrity, and the myths and realities surrounding the flawed yet riveting figure who remains among the most famous athletes of our time. ungekürzt.

Ringo: With a Little Help , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 959min
Ringo: With a Little Help is the first in-depth biography of Beatles drummer Ringo Starr, who kept the beat for an entire generation and who remains a rock icon since the Beatles took the world by storm over 50 years ago. This book traces the entire arc of Ringo's remarkable life and career, from his sickly childhood to his life as the world's most famous drummer to his triumphs, addictions, and emotional battles following the breakup of the Beatles. Born in 1940 as Richard Starkey in the Dingle, one of Liverpool's most gritty, rough-and-tumble neighborhoods, he rose from a hardscrabble childhood marked by serious illnesses, long hospital stays, and little schooling to emerge, against all odds, as a locally renowned drummer. Taking the stage name Ringo Starr, his big break with the Beatles rocketed him to the pinnacle of worldwide acclaim in a remarkably short time. He was the last member of the Beatles to join the group but also the most vulnerable, and his post-Beatles career was marked by chart-topping successes, a jet-setting life of excess and alcohol abuse, and, ultimately, his rebirth as one of rock's revered elder statesmen. ungekürzt.

We Sold Our Souls
From the New York Times best-selling author of The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires comes a hard-rocking, spine-tingling horror novel about a washed-up guitarist of a '90s heavy metal band who embarks on an epic road-trip across America and deep into the web of a sinister conspiracy. Every morning, Kris Pulaski wakes up in hell. In the 1990s she was lead guitarist of Dürt Würk, a heavy-metal band on the brink of breakout success until lead singer Terry Hunt embarked on a solo career and rocketed to stardom, leaving his bandmates to rot in obscurity. Now Kris works as night manager of a Best Western; she's tired, broke, and unhappy. Then one day everything changes-a shocking act of violence turns her life upside down, and she begins to suspect that Terry sabotaged more than just the band. Kris hits the road, hoping to reunite Dürt Würk and confront the man who ruined her life. Her journey will take her from the Pennsylvania rust belt to a celebrity rehab center to a satanic music festival. A furious power ballad about never giving up, We Sold Our Souls is an epic journey into the heart of a conspiracy-crazed, pill-popping, paranoid country that seems to have lost its very soul.- Shop: buecher

Heart of the Game: Life, Death, and Mercy in Minor League America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 576min
From the author of Pitching Around Fidel and Far Afield comes a tragic but ultimately uplifting account of the accidental death of minor league first-base coach Mike Coolbaugh, illustrating the many ways in which baseball still has a hold on America. This season's Friday Night Lights, Heart of the Game centers on the death of Mike Coolbaugh, a minor league coach who was killed in July 2007 by a foul ball rocketed off Tino Sanchez's bat. Coolbaugh died almost instantly, his body carted off the field of the Double-A Arkansas Travelers on a suffocating Sunday evening in Little Rock. He was 35 years old and the father of two, with a third child on the way. Mike's exemplary life - his devotion to game and family - is the spine of the story. But it isn't the drama. The drama is in the telling of what can happen when a projectile hits the wrong place on the human body, of the lives being lived up until that fatal moment, of the remarkable people who happened to be in the ballpark that night, of the impact on the man who hit the ball, and of all the lives left behind. Price reveals anew that classic heart of Americana - small-town sports, small-town lives - and makes us understand that a game played away from the mindless churn of Internet blather and highlight shows can be more important than those played on the national stage. ungekürzt.
