Books with author P Pearce

Challenging or frightening strories before going to sleep do not encourage a deep, trouble free sleep. The story is intended to calm the children and make them feel safe from the time they go to bed until they are awake and are with their parents again. The repetition of Hummmmmmmmmm on each page is meant to assist parents in bringing the child to a state of drowsiness that will induce an irresistible urge to sleep. The Big Red Ball allows them to float safely above everything while interacting with friends and visiting interesting places. Prayers and Mantras have been used throughout history to calm and reassure people, and this story is intended to do the same for small children.

To operate on the teeth without knowing something about the physiology of the body as a whole, would reduce the dentist to the level of a craftsman who, although perhaps very highly skilled in his technical work, was yet quite ignorant of the nature of the machine upon a part of which his work had to be done. But there are also practical reasons why the dentist should be familiar with physiology, for good health, and not good looks alone, depends very largely on sound teeth. The neglect of this fact may cause disturbances in bodily functions to which, at first sight, the teeth may apparently bear very little relationship ;thus, extreme emaciation, with its consequent lowering of the normal resistance of the body towards disease and infection, is well-known to be frequently due to no other cause than some abnormal or pathological condition affecting the teeth; and, on the other hand, this very condition itself may become intractable to the most skilled dental treatment and hygiene, if measures are not taken at the same time to improve the general health. Although it is obviously beyond the province of the dentist to undertake the treatment of these general conditions, yet it is most important that he should be sufficiently familiar with the normal functioning of the human body to be able to recognize what is really at fault. A knowledge of the laws of nutrition and dietetics must therefore form a most important part of every course in dentistry, and these have received particular attention in this book. The physiology of the digestive system, of the circulation of the blood and of the nervous system is scarcely less important.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Cla
