"Aging with Grace: The Nun Study" (forgotten author--sorry) "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat" by Oliver Sacks (very compassionate but scientifically recorded descriptions of the behaviors that result from various types of brain damage--with startling information concerning the amazingly different consequences found as a result of damage to the right versus the left cerebral hemisphere---good reading for those who teach psychology!!)
"The Feeling Good Handbook" and "Ten Days to Self-Esteem" by David Burns--one of the most renown cognitive therapist/psychiatrist from Univ of Penn "The Pecking Order: Why Some Siblings Succeed" by Dalton Conley "Next of Kin" by Roger Fouts (Gardiner's graduate student who taught Washoe sign language--amusing and insightful story of our chimpanzee evolutionary cousins) "A Life Shaken" by Joel Haverman--very well written personal story of what life is like living with Parkinson's with impressive scientific information on the origins, treatment and consequences of this NS disorder. "A Reluctant Memoir" by Roger Cohen--living with MS "Raising a Tiger" by Earl Woods--(Tiger was no accident and this book would be a great recommendation for students interested in child development) "You Can Be Happy No Matter What!" by Richard Carlson (infuriating but, alas, quite convincing--cognitively/behaviorally orientated of course) "In the Shadow of Memory" by Floyd Skloot--personal and inspiring story of a man dealing with devastating damage to his brain due to severe viral infection--also a well-known writer who has won two national book awards.
