This evocative collection from three photographers with different styles, converging into nature as a symbol for discovery, explores the majestic landscapes of several of America's National Parks as well as other iconic locations from the California coast, the American Southwest and also less known, but intimate locations from Wisconsin, Florida and North Carolina. For these three photographers, few sights are as satisfying as a valley illuminated in sunset colors, seen from high on a mountain. No silence is as deep and palpable as the solitude that surrounds, after walking way beyond the cacophony of noises. And no feeling is as strong as the one that captivates your heart, after being in contact with the wilderness, face to face.

This book reveals the truth surrounding Whooping Cough (Pertussis); the disease and the vaccines. It is written by a committed father who answers the 15 straight forward questions that he asked when his first child was born.While the questions were very easy to ask, the answers took more than thirteen years to find. The required research went well beyond that which may be considered reasonable for a basic medical issue such as vaccination.

This book charts the ways in which the ideas of a 19th Century neurologist became enshrined in the thinking of modern neuropsychiatry. It looks at how the diagnosis of hysteria and conversion disorder was revitalised by a group of like-minded physicians under the terms of "functional weakness" and "functional neurological deficit" in order to "develop constructive ways of talking with patients".Overton claims this approach has fundamentally failed and the often hilarious jibes he makes at some sectors of the medical profession only highlight further the need for doctors to listen to their patients."Deserves to be part of the literary canon"- Angela Kennedy

It was Christmas Eve. I begin this way because it is the proper,orthodox, respectable way to begin, and I have been brought upin a proper, orthodox, respectable way, and taught to always do the proper, orthodox, respectable thing; and the habit clings to me.Of course, as a mere matter of information it is quite unnecessary to mention the date at all.

Quando le vie del soldato disilluso, deigemelli amanti e del folle capitano si riuniranno, latragedia attuerà il suo fatale destino, senzarisparmiare nessuno.Purpurea è il mio primo romanzo, tratto da unasceneggiatura che scrissi da adolescente. Scriverlo èstato per me, e spero lo sarà anche leggerlo per voi,una straordinaria esperienza visiva, sublime edangosciante allo stesso tempo.
