After a treble bypass heart operation, Leech realises that he is no longer invincible and is doomed to die in a few short years. Thus he comprehends that mankind has a limited life span because of its increasing level of stupidity. Humans seems to be the only species on planet Earth that thinks it is impregnable, and will survive for the inevitable forever and three days. His high intelligence gets his mind into top gear and he converses with a strange creature called Powerdip, who arranges mind-bending trips to teach him the reality of life in numerous universes. His king-sized long-term Maori lady companion, Lyndia, accompanies him much of the time. But her memory of universe trotting is deliberately erased from her equally intelligent mind to suit Leech’s reasoning. As to be expected, the unexpected happens unexpectedly and causes him intensified mental trauma. To hasten the inevitable, he decides to create the world record for the longest drinking himself to death session. Powerdip is watching from afar and arranges matters to suit his own perceptions. Thank God the inevitable will inevitably happen. The Failed Species offers a mind-bending fantasy trip through the universe that is blended with true events.

A Physiological Approach to Clinical Neurology

By: James W. Lance,James G. McLeod

A Physiological Approach to Clinical Neurology, Third Edition is a 13-chapter book that first describes pain and other sensations, weakness, neuromuscular disorders, spinal reflexes, as well as muscle tone and movement. This text also explores the disordered muscle tone, a term used to describe the sensation of resistance felt by the clinician as he manipulates a joint through a range of movement with the subject attempting to relax. Other chapters discuss the basal ganglia and their disorders and the cerebellum and its disorders. The anatomy and physiology of the special senses, cranial nerves, and autonomic nervous system are also explained. The last three chapters elucidate consciousness, unconsciousness, epilepsy, and the relationship between brain and mind. This book will be useful to those in the field of clinical neurology.

Alan Villiers: Voyager of the Winds

By: Kate Lance

When Australian journalist Alan Villiers sailed on the last of the giant merchant windjammers in the 1920s and '30s, his writings and photographs made him famous. Villiers crewed on beautiful Herzogin Cecilie and tragic Grace Harwar, took tiny Joseph Conrad around the globe, sailed on Arabian dhows, led wartime landing craft, captained Mayflower II across the Atlantic, and inspired modern sail training and ship restoration projects. Drawn from his personal diaries, this award-winning biography of the author-adventurer reveals both his mythmaking and his achievements. It is a tribute to the greatest sailing ships ever launched – and to the extraordinary man who loved them. The book won the Mountbatten Maritime Award in 2009, and this Second Edition is fully revised. It contains over 100 photos, many of them new.

Rainbow Warrior

My Life in Color

By: Gilbert Baker,Dustin Lance Black

In 1978, Harvey Milk asked Gilbert Baker to create a unifying symbol for the growing gay rights movement, and on June 25 of that year, Baker's Rainbow Flag debuted at San Francisco's Gay Freedom Day Parade. Baker had no idea his creation would become an international emblem of liberation, forever cementing his pivotal role in helping to define the modern LGBTQ movement. Rainbow Warrior is Baker's passionate personal chronicle, from a repressive childhood in 1950s Kansas to a harrowing stint in the US Army, and finally his arrival in San Francisco, where he bloomed as both a visual artist and social justice activist. His fascinating story weaves through the early years of the struggle for LGBTQ rights, when he worked closely with Milk, Cleve Jones, and the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. Baker continued his flag-making, street theater and activism through the Reagan years and the AIDS crisis. And in 1994, Baker spearheaded the effort to fabricate a mile-long Rainbow Flag—at the time, the world's longest—to celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Stonewall uprising in New York City. Gilbert and parade organizers battled with Mayor Rudy Giuliani for the right to carry it up Fifth Avenue, past St. Patrick's Cathedral. Today, the Rainbow Flag has become a worldwide symbol of LGBTQ diversity and inclusiveness, and its colorful hues have illuminated landmarks from the White House to the Eiffel Tower to the Sydney Opera House. Gilbert Baker often called himself the "Gay Betsy Ross," and readers of his colorful, irreverent, and deeply personal memoir will find it difficult to disagree.
