Maybe if you had found the right information about the passion for gambling in time... This is the third time I am addressing the topic, because I have more and more experience with the passion for gambling and fate is constantly bringing me together with more and more people who expect advice and help from me. At the same time, I am disturbed by the amount of theoretical reasoning that does not support addicts at any level to get solutions, a handhold, useful information, because some of them publish results obtained in "laboratory conditions" behind the scientific background - instead of meeting real addicts. If those affected only get the comforting certainty after reading my book that they are not alone and that there is a solution - several - then I have not written in vain. Unlike before, I'm switching to teeing now because I want us to get closer to each other, trust me to tell you everything I know about gambling addiction.

Gambling is fun. There is nothing like the bells, whistles and jackpots. In Prison, Insanity But Not Quite Death, Mike McNichols, chronicles his extraordinary journey into and ultimately out of the world of Compulsive Gambling. At the age of 28, Mike was living his dream of being a sports writer. He had married his high school sweetheart and had a beautiful young daughter when he changed careers rather than follow his dream. That single decision set in motion a 26-year search for self validation that led him to compulsive gambling, theft and prison. This is the story of great despair and loss. It is also the story of triumph in one man’s life as he comes to realize it is who we are, not what we possess, that defines our true being.

The final manuscript was a methods paper reporting the investigator's experiences conducting research with inmates in a jail environment. Incarcerated individuals are a vulnerable population warranting health research. Research in jails requires strong interpersonal skills, respect for the environment, and flexibility. Research in this environment requires a balance of study rigor with jail security.

In the eighteenth century, as wars between Britain, France, and their allies raged across the world, hundreds of thousands of people were captured, detained, or exchanged. They were shipped across oceans, marched across continents, or held in an indeterminate limbo. The Society of Prisoners challenges us to rethink the paradoxes of the prisoner of war, defined at once as an enemy and as a fellow human being whose life must be spared. Amidst the emergence of new codifications of international law, the practical distinctions between a prisoner of war, a hostage, a criminal, and a slave were not always clear-cut. Renaud Morieux's vivid and lucid account uses war captivity as a point of departure, investigating how the state transformed itself at war, and how whole societies experienced international conflicts. The detention of foreigners on home soil created the conditions for multifaceted exchanges with the host populations, involving prison guards, priests, pedlars, and philanthropists. Thus, while the imprisonment of enemies signals the extension of Anglo-French rivalry throughout the world, the mass incarceration of foreign soldiers and sailors also illustrates the persistence of non-conflictual relations amidst war. Taking the reader beyond Britain and France, as far as the West Indies and St Helena, this story resonates in our own time, questioning the dividing line between war and peace, and forcing us to confront the untenable situations in which the status of the enemy is left to the whim of the captor.
