At the same time, there has been a similar steady decline in IQ. There is strong evidence of 'dumbing down' right across society. If this is allowed to continue, it will be the greatest threat to the sustainability of the human race, even greater than the more visible threat of climate change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Global Mental Health Crisis is a direct result of the fact that, over time, the actual size of our brains is getting smaller. This is a historical fact but is entirely reversible with better brain nutrition. This has now reached crisis proportions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 2023, The European Brain Council recognised that \"Brain Health conditions have become a global health emergency\". Back in 1972, Graham Rose wrote in the Sunday Times, \"Unless action is taken to care for the nutrition of the brain 'We will become a race of morons!'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthors Michael A Crawford and David E Marsh have both devoted their lives to this vital area of research. This book is their legacy. In painstaking detail, they make the case for reversing the Global Mental Health Crisis. With greater awareness of the problem, its cause, and the solution required to make a change, their message could not be clearer. By reading this book, you will not be able to say, \"We didn't realise.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book may contain complex research and the results of detailed research, but the message is simple-and so is the action we all need to take.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe also explain the role of the environment in the evolution of the brain, leading to early Homo sapiens with a brain capacity of over 1,600cc, and explain why it is now only 1,366 cc and mental ill-health is escalating. The concepts in this book have been fifty-one years in the making. They can't wait any longer. There is no more time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePresented with these incontrovertible facts, it does not need a rocket scientist to work out what will happen if these dumbing-down trends continue!

Whilst all the men were away at war, Crawford was surrounded by loving women. For him this was an idyllic wartime childhood, but the return of the men in peacetime signalled darker times to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrawford's infectious enjoyment of stage work illumines his account of his early struggles to make a name for himself in the theatre business, and his early failures with girls are lifted by his abiding sense of the absurd.
