Herefordshire, England.Thursday, 7th November—brbrBeyond the Indian hamlet, upon a forlorn strand, I happened on a trail of recent footprints. Through rotting kelp, sea cocoa-nuts & bamboo, the tracks led me to their maker, a White man, his trowzers & Pea-jacket rolled up, sporting a kempt beard & an outsized Beaver, shoveling & sifting the cindery sand with a teaspoon so intently that he noticed me only after I had hailed him from ten yards away. Thus it was, I made the acquaintance of Dr. Henry Goose, surgeon to the London nobility. His nationality was no surprise. If there be any eyrie so desolate, or isle so remote, that one may there resort unchallenged by an Englishman, ’tis not down on any map I ever saw.brbrHad the doctor misplaced anything on that dismal shore? Could I render assistance? Dr. Goose shook his head, knotted loose his ’kerchief & displayed its contents with clear pride. “Teeth, sir, are the enameled grails of the quest in hand. In days gone by this Arcadian strand was a cannibals’ banqueting hall, yes, where the strong engorged themselves on the weak. The teeth, they spat out, as you or I would expel cherry stones. But these base molars, sir, shall be transmuted to gold & how? An artisan of Piccadilly who fashions denture sets for the nobility pays handsomely for human gnashers. Do you know the price a quarter pound will earn, sir?”brbrI confessed I did not.brbr“Nor shall I enlighten you, sir, for ’tis a professional secret!” He tapped his nose. “Mr. Ewing, are you acquainted with Marchioness Grace of Mayfair? No? The better for yo@áG®záÿ¾Û€  (less)

He importantly also provides hope.”br—Kay Redfield Jamison, Ph.D., professor of psychiatry, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and author ofiAn Unquiet Mindbr/ibr“This memoir, the first ever written from a father’s point-of-view, is an unflinching look at the impact of a child’s mood disorder on a family. It’s all here: the confusion over ever-shifting diagnoses, the unbearable fears for the child’s future, the gradual estrangement of a well sibling and spouse, and the corrosive sense of powerlessness and guilt. And yet—through it all—the reader learns that the past is not a place of unredeemable mistake, but a chapter to be lived through and survived. This powerful memoir is a testament to love, hope, and endurance and, as such, is an important addition to the literature on mood disorders in the young.”br—Demitri Papolos, M.D., and Janice Papolos, authors ofiThe Bipolar Child/ibrbr“This is a frightening, upsetting, gripping book that vividly describes a parent's encounters with despair as he attempts to save his two children from a diabolical mental illness.”br—Andrew Solomon, author ofiThe Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression/ibrbr“iAcquainted with the Night/iprovides readers with the rare opportunity to see within the world of a father struggling to understand the experience of mental illness that afflicts two of his children.  Raeburn's background as a science writer and edi?è  (less)

the world. Richard begins his journey in Marrakesh. He dips down to the Atlantic Coast at Essaouria, travels over the Atlas Mountains, and heads to the desert on the countrys far eastern border. Then he works his way north to Fès, Tangier, and Rabat, ending in the redoubtable city of Casablanca. Africans, Arabs, Jews, Europeans, sultans, scholars, pirates, and holy men came from the south, from the east and the north to this land in the northwest corner of Africa. They traveled over burning sand dunes, across gray, blunt mountains, and along craggy seashores. And at each stop along the way was a Kasbaha fortress, a citadel, a refuge for traders and travelerssturdy walls that sometimes enclosed small cities; places of prot...  (less)
