Based on Gabor Matés two decades of experience as a medical doctor and his groundbreaking work with the severely addicted on Vancouvers skid row In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts radically reenvisions this much misunderstood field by taking a holistic approach Dr Maté presents addiction not as a discrete phenomenon confined to an unfortunate or weakwilled few but as a continuum that runs throughout and perhaps underpins our society not a medical condition distinct from the lives it affects rather the result of a complex interplay among personal history emotional and neurological development brain chemistry and the drugs and behaviors of addiction Simplifying a wide array of brain and addiction research findings from around the globe the book avoids glib selfhelp remedies instead promoting a thorough and compassionate selfunderstanding as the first key to healing and wellness In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts argues persuasively against contemporary health social and criminal justice policies toward addiction and those impacted by it The mix of personal storiesincluding the authors candid discussion of his own highstatus addictive tendenciesand science with positive solutions makes the book equally useful for lay readers and professionals.

What can fossilized teeth tell us about the life expectancy of our ancient ancestors? How did farming play a problematic role in the history of human evolution? How can simple geometric comparisons of skull and pelvic fossils suggest a possible origin to our social nature? And what do we truly have in common with the Neanderthals? In this captivating international bestseller, Close Encounters with Humankind, Korea’s first paleoanthropologist, Sang-Hee Lee, explores some of our greatest evolutionary questions from new and unexpected angles.Through a series of entertaining, bite-sized chapters, we gain fresh perspectives into our first hominin ancestors and ways to challenge perceptions about the traditional progression of evolution. By combining anthropological insight with exciting, cutting-edge research, Lee’s surprising conclusions shed new light on our beginnings and connect us to a faraway past. For example, our big brains may have served to set our species apart and spur our societal development, but perhaps not in the ways we have often assumed. And it’s possible that the Neanderthals, our infamous ancestors, were not the primitive beings portrayed by twentieth-century science. With Lee as our guide, we discover that from our first steps on two feet to our first forays into toolmaking and early formations of community, we have always been a species of continuous change.Close Encounters with Humankind is the perfect read for anyone curious about where we came from and what it took to get us here. As we mine the evolutionary path to the present, Lee helps us to determine where we are heading and tackles one of our most pressing scientific questions—does humanity continue to evolve? 22 Figure 1: A facial configuration for Boo (simulated).
