MAN VS CRAZY: a memoir of mental illness, maturity and mortality (Revised Edition) by Matthew James Elwell (5 Reviews)    Price verified 7 minutes ago

"It'd only been a little over 18 months since I'd dared to leave the comfort of my childhood bedroom where the walls were still plastered with movie posters and action figures were lined up on the window ledge. And now, I had a front-row seat to psychosis, drug-addiction, sexual abuse, post-traumatic stress and self-harm. And that was only my personal life... " 18-year-old wannabe writer Matthew finds himself washed-up on the English Riviera, forced to take up work as a carer in a low-rent Nursing Home just to keep a roof over his head. He soon crosses paths with childhood friend Roxy; a streetwise aspiring musician suffering from schizophrenia, who opens up a world of chaos and colourful characters, and convinces Matthew to take a job on a secure Psychiatric Unit. There, he quickly realises that he's traded "changing nappies and soaping up old people's saggy bits" for a daily onslaught of abuse, restraints and genuine insanity. But when he falls into a relationship with ex-patient Laura, a single-mum with a troubled past, things really do start to get crazy. Always bitingly honest, sometimes darkly funny and occasionally tragic, "Man vs Crazy" is a coming of age memoir about the true price of the often traumatic journey into adulthood.

Ketogenic Diet: 115 Amazing Recipes for Weight Loss and Improved Health by Vanessa Olsen (65 Reviews)    Price verified 8 minutes ago

Eat fat to lose fat! When I tell people that they can lose weight and reap health benefits while eating food that's creamy, rich, savory, and indulgent, they look at me with skepticism.

30-Day Whole Foods Slow Cooker Cookbook: Irresistible Recipes for a New and Healthier Life by Vanessa Olsen (224 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

Over 80% of Americans have a slow cooker. If you're one of them, you need this cookbook, and you need to start cooking healthy whole-food recipes with it! The slow cooker as we know it has been around since the 1970's, and has yet to go out of fashion. It's convenient, easy to use, easy to clean, and as you'll soon learn, the perfect way to prepare whole-food meals for the whole family. What are whole foods? It is food as nature intended it - unprocessed and unrefined. So many foods in stores today have had their nutrients stripped out, and are built back up with artificial add-ins, sugar, and other junk to make them bigger and taste "better." If you eat this food, the results are poorer health, weight gain, and vulnerability to diseases as serious as diabetes and cancer. With whole foods, however, all the nutrients have been preserved, so you're getting the real deal. It's grass-fed beef, butter, wild-caught fish, organic vegetables and fruit, whole-grains, and so on. You'll be getting all the nutrients like fiber, calcium, and fatty acids that your body craves. The slow cooker is one of the best ways to prepare whole foods, because the nutrients are preserved better than other cooking methods, thanks to the low temperatures. The slow cooking process also creates rich flavors, which are made richer when you add in spices and herbs, so you'll never have to worry about healthy food being tasteless. This book walks you through everything you need to know about slow cooking, from good brands to how to troubleshoot common problems. You'll also find a chapter on how to stock a pantry full of whole foods and what you can expect to feel like after a month of eating well. The heart of the book is, naturally, the recipes. You'll find good eats like: • Ham and spinach frittatas • Sweet 'n sour chicken • Spicy sloppy joe's • Dijon and apple pork chops • Clam chowder • Butternut squash and bean chili • Homemade pizza sauce • Almond banana bread You'll ...

What a Nice Guy by Phil Torcivia (25 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

Do you know any nice guys? Perhaps you're married to or good friends with one. Well, consider the possibility that this nice guy is so frustrated with his relationship failures that he needs to vent to keep from turning into a bad boy with anger issues. Then, try not to spit hot coffee as you read his sarcastic rants about why men and women don't seem to fit. Excerpt from What a Nice Guy -- Snippity Doo Dah My initial vasectomy consultation is scheduled for today and I can't get this song out of my head: Snippity doo dah, snippity aye, My, oh my, what a wonderful day! None of my sperm is going to stray. Snippity doo dah, snippity aye. Mister blue balls getting older, No child support It's so practical. Everything's satisfactual! (Everbody now... ) Snippity doo dah, snippity aye, Rubberless feelings coming my way! If you're staring at this page with mouth agape, you're either my mother or a fertile woman. Men, can I have an amen? You betcha. Look, ladies, I turn fifty this year. I need offspring like I need square dancing lessons. If I were to have one of my little guys actually find an egg, that would make me almost seventy by the time Junior went to prom. I'd be riding my daughter down the aisle on my scooter. I've done the math. It costs $800, which is equivalent to twenty morning-after pills, two abortions, or a case of Silver Oak wine. I'll sacrifice the latter for peace of mind. It is also one-hundredth the cost of a college education, one-tenth the cost of a used car (plus repairs), and half the cost of outgrown sneakers. I know, I know. "You still need to wear condoms. What about STDs?" That's true (and it sucks), but it makes the whole process less stressful when breakage or slippage occurs. Actually, I think I've only had a rubber break once in my life. Slippage has happened numerous times. (OK, stop with the tiny penis jokes.) I'm sure we've all had that shocking/embarrassing moment when ole Willy leaves the party without his ...

Cow Dung - A Down-To-Earth Solution To Global Warming And Climate Change by Dr. Sahadeva dasa (Soul Science University Press) (42 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

Environmental crisis is for real and it's coming around faster than you think. It's not a brainchild of some conspiracy theorist but a tangible, perceivable fact, proven by the catastrophic events all over the world. But for most of us, caught up in the daily grind, it's hardly a subject worth pondering over. Common man in the streets of London, New York or Delhi has very little time to worry about some ozone layer up there or some damn iceberg in the North Pole. At best, it is a snow bear's problem. But the scientific fraternity and many political leaders don't think so. They are waking up to the horrors of global warming and climatic change. Hectic efforts are on to contain the damage but with very little success. This book provides a simple solution to this grave crisis which has the potential to wipe out life altogether. This is a calamity of unprecedented proportions coming our way and a point of no return for the industrial civilization. One of the arguments sceptics throw back at you is that the climate has always changed, and that is absolutely right. It's the rate of change that is the problem right now. It's changing so quickly that it exceeds our adaptive capacity. We are in a hole and it's time to stop digging.

Being the Nice Guy by Phil Torcivia (2 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

It's not easy being the nice guy. Would you rather your man be genuine or nice? Don't you want honesty? To be the nice guy I must constantly look for your best traits, admire them, remind you how much I appreciate them (but, not too often as that would be creepy), and avoid any sensitive areas. This is a chore I must endure if I'm to maintain any friends or lovers. Sad. Well, this book in my Nice Guy series lays out a bunch of crass, sarcastic, swear-word-laden essays chronicling my best efforts, which have failed because I still have two cats and zero vaginas in my bed. I hope that you vicariously enjoy my relationship struggles and that they somehow make your relationship situation seem so much better. You're welcome.

The History of America: A concise history of the story of The Unites States of America from George Washington to Jimmy Carter. by Nehal Kaur Price verified 6 hours ago

An outsider's perspective reveals the United States as a country of unrivalled influence and generosity. It has accomplished exploits that have irrevocably influenced the path of human events in its comparatively limited but storied history. Most significantly, its dramatic World War II action helped to liberate millions of people from the grip of tyranny by overthrowing Adolf Hitler's evil regime. In addition to serving as a haven on the battlefield, the United States has provided food and shelter to countless people who were fleeing hardship. Its charitable activities go far beyond its national borders; through enormous humanitarian help, it has lessened suffering and aided in the development of nations in remote regions of the world. The country is not without faults; occasionally, its feeling of exceptionalism leads to divisive foreign policy, but overall, the effects of its activities lean strongly in favour of the advancement of humanity. The United States is still a powerful force for good in a complex world. So, for the nation that fought off Hitler's armies, saved the world, and has generally been a country that has been a source of good more than any other nation in world history, whether you are a smart kid looking for a broad overview of America up to the time of Jimmy Carter or whether you are a curious adult who is just trying to learn more about the history of this country, I hope you enjoy reading this modest effort to summarise "The History of America."

Not So Nice Guy by Phil Torcivia (8 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

Love... Who needs it? I don't know if this just comes with age or what, but I'm less patient with my relationships, when I should probably be more patient. The first sign of any drama, no matter how sexually starved I happen to be, and I lose her number. Perhaps this makes me unpopular with the ladies. Maybe I'm getting a reputation. Meh What I am hoping is that by reading my take on the whole mating game, you'll have a better appreciation for whatever predicament you're in, be that anything between marital bliss and been lovin' your fist. Karma Kicked Me Sure, I'm bitter sometimes. Aren't you? How many times do you let karma kick you before you become jaded like me, and begin to expect it? So, you're pissed. He dumps you for a skank-hole. Go ahead and be hurt -- that's natural. It's an ego slap. As you get older, you'll begin to take these more in stride. Sure, you'll complain about it to a friend, relative, or co-worker, but you'll get over it. Look at this book as my way of getting over it. A collection of irreverent, sarcastic, vulgar, crude, whatever-you-call-it essays containing my odd perception of life, which might actually lower my blood pressure by writing, and generate a giggle or two for the reader. WARNING: F-Word Used Over 160 Times Before we go any further, let me warn you that I love to cuss. F-ing love it. You're going to read plenty of bad words, so reading aloud is strongly discouraged, unless you're in church. Also, since I have taken certain liberties with our language, and I am a bit whiny and insensitive, I've decided to enhance this tome with -- drum roll, please -- recipes! Yay, Recipes! Cheers, my dears.

One with obnoxious laughter hiding a deep depression. • Hebra. Man with boobs. • Ginani. Martini addicts. People who drink from triangular glasses and act catty. • Furgo. Women with hairless privates that make it easy for men to find glory while fantasizing about their high school sweethearts. • Glancer.

Feedbacks: Manage dynamical systems in business, econony, biology and social sciences, using balancing and reinforcing loops. by Juan Martin Garcia (2 Reviews)    Price verified 8 hours ago

Naturally, socio-economic and ecological systems are made up of hundreds of interconnected positive and negative loops and its ultimate behaviour isn't obvious. The concept of the loop is very useful because it enables us to start from the structure of the system that we are analysing and work towards its dynamic behaviour. If a system fluctuates persistently, remains in equilibrium or drops off rapidly, we can identify the structural reasons and decide how to go about modifying the causal loops that are going to influence it. This procedure can be applied to anything from the control of an industrial process to the monitoring of diabetes or cancer, fluctuations in the price of raw materials, or economic growth. Yet the most important use of this concept is in understanding how the structure of systems affects their behaviour. In the same market and in the same year, various firms that offer the same product present very different economic results. The less competent managers put this down to causes beyond their control - the cost of labour, competitors, customers' habits, and so on - when in fact they should study why the systems they control (their businesses) have a less competitive structure than those that show better results. CONTENT Introduction 1. Identifying the Problem 2. Defining the System 3. The Boundaries of a System 4. The Causal Diagram 5. Feedback 6. The Limiting Factor 7. The Key Factors 8.

The Unknown Kingdom, Revelations of Shambhala, The Himalayan Journals by M.G. Hawking (3 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

Discover The Unknown Kingdom. You are invited to take an unforgettable journey into a fabled world to explore ancient knowledge virtually unknown to the modern world. Sweeping in an immense arc across South Asia is the Great Himalayan Range, an uninterrupted 1,500 mile crescent of mountains with over 110 peaks rising to elevations of 25,000 feet or more. Extending from Kashmir's 26,600 foot Naga Parbat through Tibet's 25,445 foot Namcha Barwa, the immense wilderness of the Himalaya cradles the most isolated areas of Earth's landmass. Yawning gorges as deep as 16,000 feet and ice peaks towering nearly six miles high shelter remote, lushly forested valleys. For thousands of years, the largely inaccessible and unexplored inner portion of this vast frozen fortress has been known in esoteric literature as the Great White Island, and has inspired countless stories and legends that it conceals a kingdom of great masters possessed of transcendent wisdom and power. Many years ago, on an extended trek into the remote inner range of the Himalayas, explorer M.G. Hawking chanced on a small valley deep in the rugged wilderness. Surrounded by massive peaks, he encountered a beautiful village, a mysterious realm referred to by its residents as Siddhalaya. Siddha, in Sanskrit, denotes a high adept or master; alaya means the abode of -- for Siddhalaya is said to be the 'Kingdom of the Masters.' From Hawking's journal of that day: "The village is small and ancient, yet very beautiful. Seemingly overhead, rising nearly six miles into the sky, towers the great Himalayan massif of Dhaulagiri. Vast snowfields roll upward from evergreen forest to immense blue-white glaciers and ragged cliffs of ancient ice. Far above, magic colors appear, shimmer and disappear, silent reflections in clouds that sail across iced granite on high, swift journeys. Nestled in a valley below the snowfields, in dense emerald-green forest by a pure azure lake, the village spreads its river-stone structures. ...

Cycling & Walking the Camino de Santiago: Naoko Motohiro walked and her husband, Mike Newton, cycled the Camino de Santiago over five weeks from 2014 ... by Mike Newton (21 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

In early 2014 we visited our friends Jessica and Nigel, and the Camino de Santiago came up in conversation. They had just completed it but we had no idea that it even existed until they told us about it. We learnt that it was a famous walk that started in St Jean Pied-de-Port and finished at Santiago, a total of 800km equating to 500 miles. This distance seemed to be an awful long distance to me. The most I had walked in a day was the Yorkshire Three Peaks, which was about 25 miles. I had lost a few toenails on that walk and did not want to repeat the experience. However Naoko, who was a much keener walker than me, wanted to learn more about it. She was told that she should: ? Read the book by John Brierley, entitled 'Pilgrim's Guide To The Camino De Santiago'. ? Watch the film starring Martin Sheen called 'The Way'. We went on to walk & cycle the Camino over 3 years, with me cycling due to a foot problem. The book includes many photographs and our tale of of our trips, including the wonderful camaraderie that we found along the way.

The Four Powers: Assessments of Democracy, Abuses of Centralized Power, and Blockchain-Based National Security (Technodemocracy) by Jason M. Hanania (4powers.com) (27 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

What is power? How does it become centralized or decentralized? These questions are at the heart of understanding how governments work. Humankind has barely scratched the surface of what it takes to provide for democracy, equality, and reduced social risk. History has taught us that centralizing power in one group member creates maximum power inequality and typically results in abuse of power. Whether done consciously or unconsciously, that group member will inevitably make decisions that serve personal rather than public interests. It's human nature. In The Four Powers, Hanania provides a fast-paced historical assessment of centralized power. From World War I to crypto, Hanania explains the emerging trend toward technodemocracy: a decentralized system of governance whereby power-centralized institutions (such as churches, banks, political parties, campaign donors, Amazon, and the CIA) become obsolete. ABOUT THE AUTHOR From the author of Architecture of a Technodemocracy (2018), an Amazon bestseller for both U.S. politics and sociology, comes this eye-opening analysis of the human power structure. Jason M. Hanania is an attorney, an engineer, and a former U.S. government employee. INTRODUCTION An Equation for Power In 2016 I set out to write the book Architecture of a Technodemocracy. It documents a system for ending political party systems using technology and democracy. Before authoring that book, I searched far and wide for an institutional definition of democracy but found none. If you asked ten social scientists for a simple definition of democracy, you would get ten different responses. As an engineer, I found this frustrating. I wanted a more technical understanding of democracy, a mathematical framework to build on. The same way physical science provides equations for motion (such as force equals mass times acceleration, or F = ma), I wanted a social science equation for democracy. After struggling with this problem for months, I ...
