The HypochondriacsCharlotte Bront found in her illnesses, real and imagined, an escape from familial and social duties, and the perfect conditions for writing. The German jurist Daniel Paul Schreber believed his body was being colonized and transformed at the hands of God and doctors alike. Andy Warhol was terrified by disease and by the idea of disease. Glenn Gould claimed a friendly pat on his shoulder had destroyed his ability to play piano. And we all know someone

Charlotte Bront found in her illnesses, real and imagined, an escape from familial and social duties, and the perfect conditions for writing. The German jurist Daniel Paul Schreber believed his body was being colonized and transformed at the hands of God and doctors alike. Andy Warhol was terrified by disease and by the idea of disease. Glenn Gould claimed a friendly pat on his shoulder had destroyed his ability to play piano. And we all know someone who has trawled the Internet in solitude, seeking to pinpoint the source of his or her fantastical symptoms.

The Hypochondriacs is a book about fear and hope, illness and imagination, despair and creativity. It explores, in the stories of nine individuals, the relationship between mind and body as it is mediated by the experience, or simply the terror, of being ill. And, in an intimate investigation of those lives, it shows how the mind can make a prison of the body by distorting our sense of ourselves as physical beings. Through witty, entertaining, and often moving examinations of the lives of these eminent hypochondriacs--James Boswell, Charlotte Bront , Charles Darwin, Florence Nightingale, Alice James, Daniel Paul Schreber, Marcel Proust, Glenn Gould, and Andy Warhol--Brian Dillon brilliantly unravels the tortuous connections between real and imagined illness, irrational fear and rational concern, the mind's aches and the body's ideas.

Dogs love them
Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: Chicken Chips
I would have gave 5 stars, but you have to tear/cut into small pieces because they are hard for dogs to chew and swallow. Will buy again.

Dogs all beg for them!
Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: Chicken Chips
When I first received the package I was concerned about the small size of the crisps & the package itself. Not to worry! They are rather thick, and I had to half them for almost all of the dogs. They must be delicious because the dogs all gather around the corner of the treat table with the chicken chips! It takes them more than 2 seconds to chew, as well. I’m definitely reordering.

My 3 Vote Yes
Flavor Name: Bacon & Apple, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
All three of my dogs LOVE these! There aren't a lot in the package for money. But the jerky pieces are big enough and soft enough that I was able to break them to make them last a little longer.
