Richly illustrated and extensively researched, Glimpses of Medieval Switzerland offers a fascinating journey through medieval Switzerland. It describes and illustrates Swiss history and art in its many cities, towns and villages which are replete with attractive cathedrals, castles, town halls and fountains. Decorative and often colourful fountains were the centrepieces of many towns (Basel, Berne, Fribourg, Lucerne, Neuchatel, Schaffhausen and Solothurn, for example) and they provide the take-off point for an informative account of medieval times in this scenic country. It traces the history, religious and political changes that took place in various regions of the country during and after the Middle Ages and highlights some aspects of the different architectural styles characteristic of the various cantons. The book also poses many intriguing questions, for example, why are there no decorative fountains in many old cantons of Switzerland such as Geneva, the Grisons and Valais? Do Calvinism and parsimonious nature of Geneva's population have something to do with this situation? Are the differences in their sculpture attributable to such factors as religion (Catholic or Protestant), language (French, German or Italian), or the historical legacy of Austrian Habsburgs, German kings or French counts and dukes?

Mental illness is no longer a taboo subject, nevertheless its diagnosis, treatment and understanding still remain short of that required to improve the lives of those affected. Some symptoms overlap; for example depression can be found in schizophrenia and bi-polar disorder, other symptoms remain condition-specific such as the infamous hallucinations and paranoia found in schizophrenia.
In a book that straddles part life story, part breakdown of treatment options Assaa'd Hanna offers an insight into how difficult it is for a sufferer of a bipolar mood disorder to come to terms with the condition and to communicate its affects. 
Schizophrenia or Cyclothymia Part Two is an interesting read if only for its look at the medical solutions on offer.

There's a Nasty Cancer in the Health Service

# data[].attributes.description
Never one to shy away from putting his head above the parapet, John Riddington-Young has been outspoken on the state of the NHS for a number of years. His decades of clinical experience have earned him the right to speak as he finds, and what he finds he does not like.
In this latest examination of the problems he sees within the National Health Service, he uses examples drawn from both his personal experiences and front page news to illustrate his central point over and over again. The more the NHS is run by target-oriented businessmen, the poorer the service.
What is required is a return to the skills drilled into doctors and nurses in the past, the values which drove them to choose medicine as a career, and the vocation which they knew would bring them a lifetime of hard work, long hours and responsibility.
Hospitals need doctors more than they need managers and a simple solution exists which would start to stem the tide of dissatisfaction felt by patients and staff alike: get rid of all the managers and administrators.
