Werner Bartens: Lexikon der Medizin-Irrtümer. Vorurteile, Halbwahrheiten, fragwürdige Behandlungen.
German | PDF | 350 Seiten | Eichborn; Auflage: 1 (Mai 2004) | ISBN 3821839228 | 1.1MB


"Zieh dir was Warmes an, sonst erkältest du dich!" Eine oft gehörte Ermahnung und zugleich eines der hartnäckigsten medizinischen Irrtümer. Bei kalten Temperaturen kommt es nicht wegen zu dünner Pullover häufiger zu Erkältungen -- Grund ist die erhöhte Anzahl von Krankheitskeimen in geschlossenen Räumen. Mit seinem Lexikon der Medizinirrtümer schreibt Werner Bartens -- von A wie Abtreibung bis Z wie Zecke -- unter anderem gegen solche althergebrachten Mythen und Gesundheitstipps an. Etwa, dass Lesen bei schlechtem Licht den Augen schade, Schwimmen mit vollem Magen gefährlich sei oder zu viel Salz den Blutdruck gesundheitsgefährlich hochtreibe.

Publisher: Windhorse Publications (August 1, 2008) | 176 Pages | ISBN: 1899579850 | PDF | 3 MB

A Guide to the Deities of the Tantra is a fascinating insight into a subject that has captivated the imagination of many but remains mysterious and exotic to all but a few. Tantric deities? Who are they and what do they do?
This volume focuses on the deities whose mantra recitation and colorful visualizations lie at the heart of the Tantra. We meet goddesses of wisdom, the prince of purity, the lotus-born guru Padmasambhava, and dakinis- wild-haired women who dance in the flames of freedom. All, the peaceful and the wrathful alike, urge the reader to break through to wisdom, pointing out the true nature of reality with uncompromising vigor...

Jürgen Brater - Lexikon der rätselhaften Körpervorgänge
Von Alkoholrausch bis Zähneknirschen
Eichborn | 2002-02-01 | ISBN: 3821839163 | 497 Seiten| PDF | 1,29 MB

Warum wir rot werden, wissen wir ja meist. Aber was genau geht da vor sich? Unser Körper gibt uns täglich viele solcher kleinen und großen Rätsel auf: Morgens haben wir "Sand in den Augen", vormittags knurrt uns vor Hunger der Magen, nach dem Mittagessen leiden wir unter bleierner Müdigkeit, nachmittags macht uns ein Kaffee plötzlich wieder putzmunter, abends im Konzert müssen wir zwanghaft an der leisesten Stelle husten, beim Einschlafen bemerken wir ein unkontrolliertes Muskelzucken und kaum schlafen wir endlich, beschwert sich der Partner über unser Schnarchen. Das Lexikon rätselhafter Körpervorgänge erklärt in verständlicher und lockerer Weise, aber mit medizinischer Kompetenz, was hinter den ganzen Rätseln steckt; vom peinlichen Furz bis zum angenehmen Geschmackserlebnis und vom bedrohlichen Ohnmachtsanfall bis zum aufregenden Verliebtheitsgefühl.
