The bestselling author of Grain Brain uncovers the powerful role of gut bacteria in determining your brain's destiny. Debilitating brain disorders are on the rise-from children diagnosed with autism and ADHD to adults developing dementia at younger ages than ever before. But a medical revolution is underway that can solve this problem: Astonishing new research is revealing that the health of your brain is, to an extraordinary degree, dictated by the state of your microbiome - the vast population of organisms that live in your body and outnumber your own cells ten to one. What's taking place in your intestines today is determining your risk for any number of brain-related conditions. In Brain Maker, Dr. Perlmutter explains the potent interplay between intestinal microbes and the brain, describing how the microbiome develops from birth and evolves based on lifestyle choices, how it can become "sick," and how nurturing gut health through a few easy strategies can alter your brain's destiny for the better. With simple dietary recommendations and a highly practical program of six steps to improving gut ecology, Brain Maker opens the door to unprecedented brain health potential.

I do it the way it was originally intended to be, simple, escapist and appealing to everyone..."Then we come to the other half, which is a bit more serious, though not that much..."Hence my story cycle about the Cartoon Republican Army, an animated cartoon character organization which mashes up the IRA, AIM, the Black Panthers and various National Guard-style armed militias together in an attempt to get dimwitted human beings to recognize that cartoon characters are not mere "drawings" but real life human beings... and various other beings, besides."­-David Perlmutter, from the IntroductionBlending action, suspense, romance, and humor, David Perlmutter''s stories in this collection will keep you ignoring your smartphone and turning the pages.
