Text Box: Praise for: New Hope for People with Bipolar Disorder Revised 2nd Edition: “Your Friendly Authoritative Guide to the Latest in Traditional and Complementary Solutions” by Jan Fawcett, MD; Bernard Golden, PhD; Nancy Rosenfeld, Three Rivers Press / Random House (October 23, 2007) Library Journal Review: There are a number of self-help titles for people with bipolar disorder, but this one has several singular features. For starters, it's written by a full-treatment team-a psychiatrist (Fawcett), a psychologist (Bernard Golden), and a patient (Nancy Rosenfeld)-so readers are given a unique combination of expertise and practical tips for daily coping. Medications, forms of therapy,  suicide prevention, childhood and adolescent bipolar illness, how to deal with the stigma of mental illness, and information for family members and friends count among the topics covered. This revised edition includes a new chapter titled "Questions and Answers Regarding Bipolar Disorder," updated resources, and new information on medications; the latter alone justifies the price of updating for those libraries that own the first edition (2000). This book, along with E. Fuller Torrey and Michael Knable's Surviving Manic Depression: A Manual on Bipolar Disorder for Patients, Families, and Providers, should be in every public library, no matter how small.             — Library Journal http://www.healthnewsdigest.com/news/Book_Review_440/ New_Hope_For_People_With_Bipolar_Disorder_Revised_2nd_Edition.shtml Praise for: Memoirs of 1984 by Yuri Tarnopolsky Foreword, by Paul Simon, Former U.S. Senator (D-IL) The world has changed dramatically in the years since Yuri Tarnopolsky came into my life and the lives of those who fought for Soviet refuseniks. I was privileged to have worked with the fine volunteers of chicago Action for Soviet Jewry, who launched the rescue effort for Yuri. The magnitude of that effort was staggering. No less staggering was the sacrifice Yuri and other dissidents made for the cause of freedom. Memoirs of 1984 does what George Orwell’s visionary warning to future generations would not. It paints a poignant picture of human survival in an inhuman totalitarian system; it is a graphic portrait of real people in an unreal world. Yuri’s moving snapshots of life in the Gulag and his incisive critiques of the forces of socialism, ideology, modern Judaism, and Russian history are more than memoirs for posterity. Memoirs of 1984 is a living testament to the power and force of freedom and a tribute to those, who by their very sacrifice and dedication to human values, perpetuate the ideals of freedom and democracy throughout the world. Yuri’s words are words of inspiration and not words of warning for future generations. His anecdotes are a celebration of humanity rather than an indictment of it. His message of human survival in a totalitarian society is as relevat today as sit was just a few years ago, because totalitarians remain with us today and, I fear, always will. Ultimately, this book is about tolerance: tolerance of political diversity, of religious differences, of races and cultures that are dissimilar to our own. We can all learn from Yuri Tarnopolsky. — Senator Paul Simon
