The origin of this book covers my personal experiences that would alter my life. Kind of before and after scenario. A few months after my thirtieth birthday, a busy day of sales calls, I arrived home, exhausted. Well, maybe exhausted would not be good way to describe what I felt. I felt strangely uneasy and fell at ease. Just plain uncomfortable would be the description of my mood that evening. Nothing special had happened at work. It was just strange feeling that came over me. I wasn’t much different the next morning. I still felt out of sorts. I remember saying to myself, “What the heck is going on?” I ate a quick breakfast, got in the car, and started driving to my office. Almost without thinking or paying attention to where I was going, I found myself in the parking lot of the local Catholic church nearby our house. For some strange reason, I felt it was a stop I needed to make. Mass had just ended, so the church was empty, except for a couple of altar boys cleaning up around the altar. Before I realized it, I was in the back pew, on my knees. Over the next several minutes, I poured out my heart to God like I had never done before. An overwhelming sense of remorse seized my emotions. I don’t remember how long I stayed knelt there in the church. When I finally left and got back in my car, with tears welling up in my eyes, I had no idea why or what just happened. I felt totally confused. Since I had never been a particularly religious person, to say the least, the experience seemed even led conceivable and much more puzzling. But it did happen, and it left a mark on me that would last forever. I would never be the same man who had gone into church that morning. That day would mark the beginning of what I realize were God’s gifts pouring out into my life, at least the many I am aware of. I am sure there are many more that I am not conscious of. I would discover sometime late that what I had experienced had been a spiritual conversion—not necessarily a common experience, but not all that rare either. It’s true to say, “When you leave the house in the morning, you never really know how you will return to it.” I know I hardly expected to return seemingly transformed, both personally and spiritually.
This textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the novel concepts of pneumopedics and craniofacial epigenetics. Clinically, these mechanisms are delivered through biomimetic oral appliance therapy. The text, therefore, covers both genetics and epigenetics of craniofacial development, as well as growth and development of the craniofacial architecture. Despite being complex subjects, the style of writing allows the general reader to assimilate this information and sets the scene for how these principles might best be utilized. For example, the clinical application of biomimetic tooth movement achieved through epigenetic orthodontics is presented. Prior to pneumopedic treatment, the significance of craniofacial diagnostics and treatment planning is discussed, before detailing the principles of designing a biomimetic oral appliance. Next, the book goes over the practicalities of clinical adjustments of oral biomimetic devices. Moving onto patient selection and management, the book also provides an overview and introduction to pediatric craniofacial epigenetics, which touches upon the preventive aspects of healthcare, including nutrition. This section is followed by an introduction to sleep and sleep disordered breathing in both children and adults, which includes a comprehensive approach to the potential elimination of obstructive sleep apnea. Finally, clinical biomimetic correction is illustrated with examples of non-surgical upper airway remodeling using various cases. The book also contains a Glossary containing definitions of common terms as well as an Appendix of documents that might be useful for both implementation and further study.
This open access book asks just how climate-smart our food really is. It follows an average day's worth of food and drink to see where it comes from, how far it travels, and the carbon price we all pay for it. From our breakfast tea and toast, through breaktime chocolate bar, to take-away supper, Dave Reay explores the weather extremes the world’s farmers are already dealing with, and what new threats climate change will bring. Readers will encounter heat waves and hurricanes, wildfires and deadly toxins, as well as some truly climate-smart solutions. In every case there are responses that could cut emissions while boosting resilience and livelihoods. Ultimately we are all in this together, our decisions on what food we buy and how we consume it send life-changing ripples right through the global web that is our food supply. As we face a future of 10 billion mouths to feed in a rapidly changing climate, it’s time to get to know our farmers and herders, our vintners and fisherfolk, a whole lot better.
Crosby, Stills & Nash created some of the most indelible songs and beautiful harmonies of the late 1960s and early 1970s: "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes," "Woodstock," "Teach Your Children." This copiously illustrated account of the trio's personal and musical history tells the story behind the songs. Longtime CSN chronicler Dave Zimmer, with the full cooperation of the band, traces all of the performers from their musical roots to their first song together in L.A.'s storied Laurel Canyon; from their addition of Neil Young to Woodstock; and through their stormy years of creative conflicts, reunions, and reconciliations. This edition celebrates the trio's 40th anniversary and includes over 300 photos.

Dave Dion's brand new autobiography proves conclusively why he is considered the most popular Late Model driver in the Northeast. Working with long time announcer and journalist, Dave Moody, Dion talks passionately about his racing career and his family's personal struggle with alcoholism, the Vietnam War, and the pressures of decades on the road. Loaded with photography, it is the classic story of a rugged individualist who pieces together a moral code far more precious that the silver in his hundreds of trophies.
Occasionally tear-jerking, sometimes funny, always sincere, Behind the Mic takes readers on a ride with the man who morphed from small-town boy to one of radios most prolific personalities.

Dave Courtney, described by the press as 'one of the most feared men on the streets of London' reveals the characters, both fictional and all too real that have most influenced his colourful life. As you might expect, Dodgy Dave's ideas of what constitutes a hero and a villain is at times a little, well, dodgy. Dave challenges our notions of what it is to be heroic in his usual candid and witty style. With ten of his best heroes including Ned Kelly, Edward G Robinson and Al Capone and villains from his own past such as the Krays, Bruce Reynolds and Joey Pyle, Dave Courtney's Heroes and Villains is a fascinating insight into their lives from a unique angle - from someone who knows - and into the inspiration behind the man.
