Nicotine and Other Tobacco Compounds in Neurodegenerative and Psychiatric Diseases: Epidemiological Data on Smoking and Preclinical and Clinical Data on Nicotine provides a comprehensive summary of the epidemiological data on smoking and several neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Tourette's syndrome, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression and ADHD, as well as preclinical and clinical data on the effects of nicotine. Despite the obvious and undisputed harmful nature of smoking, evidence suggests that some tobacco and tobacco smoke-derived constituents may offer neuroprotective effects, possibly in combinations, rather than individually. This unprecedented book describes the complex relationships between smoking and neurological disease and the bioactive compounds found in tobacco. It provides a comprehensive review of nicotine and other compounds found in tobacco plant, with scientific evidence of neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects that may act in conjunction with nicotine to exert neuroprotective effects observed in smokers. By presenting findings beyond harmful cigarette smoke effects, attention can be drawn to individual compounds of tobacco that may serve as inspiration for further therapy development. - Presents the first comprehensive, tabulated summary of literature on the epidemiological data on smoking and neurological disease - Includes preclinical and clinical data on nicotine in neurological diseases and mechanisms of action of nicotine in neuroprotection - Features a comprehensive summary of non-nicotine smoke constituents with potentially neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory properties - Discusses Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's Disease, Schizophrenia, Depression, ADHD, Anxiety and Tourette's Syndrome in the context of smoking and nicotine

Following Julia Strachey's death, her life-long friend Frances Partridge was presented with an extraordinary assortment of her papers. Combining material from this source and extracts from the correspondence between the two friends, this book presents an account of the life of a remarkable woman.
Thomas se leva d’un bond et la saisit par les poignets. - Tu es capable de tout, Julia. De jouer la comédie, d’assommer un homme d’une manchette et d’un tas d’autres choses aussi rocambolesques. Mais qui es-tu, bon sang ?
