    Fashion and style are no longer subjects that are passed down from father to son, and any man who suddenly decides that he wants to look better is often intimidated and overwhelmed. Most men's fashion books are overly-preachy and judgemental; they try to dress men in a very conservative style that may not actually match their personality or tastes."Style for Men: A simple guide to dressing well" is designed for men who want to understand the fundamental rules of men's style; how to tell if clothing fits, how to discern between 'good' and 'bad' garments and how to create a style that matches your personality, your job and your lifestyle. It's easy-to-follow format features simple and clear illustrations, specifically designed for the Kindle. It even details the best way for men to shop for clothes effectively - from choosing the right stores to selecting garments and dealing with sales assistants.

    and a PhD.  While he was a student, and later during his surgical internship at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, he began the series of animal experiments that led eventually to the world’s first transplantation of the human liver in 1963.Throughout his career, first at the University of Colorado and then at the University of Pittsburgh, he has aroused both worldwide admiration and controversy.  His technical innovations and medical genius have revolutionized the field, but Starzl has not hesitated to address the moral and ethical issues raised by transplantation.  In this book he clearly states his position on many hotly debated issues including brain death, randomized trials for experimental drugs, the costs of transplant operations, and the system for selecting organ recipients from among scores of desperately ill patients.There are many heroes in the story of transplantation, and many “puzzle people,” the patients who, as one journalist suggested, might one day be made entirely of various transplanted parts.  They are old and young, obscure and world famous.  Some have been taken into the hearts of America, like Stormie Jones, the brave and beautiful child from Texas.  Every patient who receives someone else’s organ - and Starzl remembers each one - is a puzzle.  “It was not just the acquisition of a new part,” he writes.  “The rest of the body had to change in many ways before the gift could be accepted.  It was necessary for the mind to see the world in a different way.”  The surgeons and physicians who pioneered transplantation were also changed: they too became puzzle people.  “Some were corroded or destroyed by the experience, some were sublimated, and none remained the same.”

     What makes humans different from other beings? Can science explain the nature of human creativity and empathy? While Darwinian science explains how humans evolved just as animals did, modern neuroscience is now unlocking the keys to those less tangible traits that set humans apart.

Ramachandran now gives us twenty-first-century answers to these age-old questions, showcasing the most current researcha much of it his ownainto physical mechanisms in the brain, including the mysterious mirror neurons. Just as Oliver Sacks has entertained a generation of readers with fascinating patient stories, "The Man with the Phantom Twin" features incredible case studies of bizarre behavior, such as a patient who becomes progressively demented yet creates beautiful paintings of extraordinary realism; a woman who suffers from a paranoid terror of the strangers who live in mirrors; a stroke victim who can no longer understand metaphors; and a patient who sees each number as being tinged with a color. Revealing a stunning new approach to the intersection of science and creativity, "The Man with the Phantom Twin" will forever change the way you think about what makes you beautiful and special.

    ....The world can be a scary place to navigate when you’re brain damaged. Even scarier when you aren't entirely sure what you might have done during a blackout while your alternate personality is running around in your body. My wife calls him ‘The other one’. If you can’t trust your own eyes or the people around you, sometimes it pays to take a leap of faith. I have, I stopped taking my little pink pill. I wonder what will happen?... Flynn was on a bus in London that was attacked by a suicide bomber. He lost his fingers in the explosion and gained left frontal lobe damage to his brain, leading to violent mood swings, blackouts, suicidal thoughts, and psychopathic tendencies. Flynn’s doctor determines that the left frontal lobe syndrome has left him with symptoms similar to schizophrenia, which develop a secondary personality during times of stress. Flynn and his wife refer to this secondary personality as ‘the other one’. However, after he is given a little pink pill by his doctor, an anti-psychotic pill normally reserved for schizophrenics, his moods level out to the point that he can function almost normally again, apart from the fact that the pink pill leaves him feeling emotionally numb. He is relatively content with his new life, after all, thanks to the pink pill, he can’t feel enough to care anyway. Until he decides to stop taking the pink pill in an effort to feel things again. He wonders if he can fool everyone around him into thinking that he is still taking the little pink pill, whilst in reality starting to live a double life. After a chance meeting with another patient during his hospital appointment, he befriends Sid, who also suffers with schizophrenia. The two embark on a sometimes humorous journey of twists and turns in an effort just to stay in what they believe to be a state of equilibrium. The only problem is, neither of them knows if what they perceive is real or not. Especially when experiments with LSD get thrown into the mix. Flynn also has a worrying eye on the news, as more and more people seem to be going missing, and he can’t be certain if he, Sid or any of their ‘other’ selves may have played a hand in it. Please note this novel contains strong language.

    Drug Store & Business Management

    But I have dreams. I want to move to the city and be a princess, pampered by some romantic prince. I ache so deeply to get out of this town that I can taste freedom on my lips. And if I’m going to escape, I don’t want any entanglements. So, this thing with Bryce Winters? It’s just friends with benefits. A convenience. But that convenience turns into something else when Wilder Pyre comes to town, turning everything on its ear when he purchases the Winters Sawmill and Paper Company, the biggest employer in town. My employer. Why would this man, a self-made billionaire, want a sawmill in a small town? And how, for crying out loud, could he be a friend of Bryce’s? Bryce, whose great-great grandfather founded the mill generations ago? It’s a mystery I’m in the perfect position to unravel. But will it be my heart that unravel instead? Part Two: Clan Wars Cash Metcalf met the love of his life in high school, but social hierarchies being what they are at that tender age made it impossible for him to act on his feelings. A few years later, the timing was off again as he was headed off to the military and she was going off to college. They did, however, share one night together and he thought they were finally on the same page. But when she failed to send him letters at bootcamp, he imagined he was wrong, that she didn’t feel the same about him. Harper Root was a nerd in high school, the kind of girl boys only paid attention to when they needed help on their homework. She thought Cash was one exception, but when he romanced her and then disappeared, not answering her letters, she realized he was just like the others, just more callus about it. So, Harper accepted that she would have to raise her baby boy alone without the father Cash should have been. Five years after he left home, Cash comes back a hero. He served proudly in the Marines and then began his own security firm after inheriting a huge windfall from a fellow soldier. The moment he steps off the plane, Cash’s only thoughts are of Harper, but when he hears she has a kid, he knows his dreams of rekindling their romance are dead before they began. But the danger that brought him home, bears from another clan, forces Harper and Cash back together as they battle a mutual enemy. Part Three: True Intentions Wilder Pyre came to Winters Cove to give back to the community his mother came from. He told everyone that he’d bought the mill to make their lives better, but this tight knit community struggled to believe this stranger. But it wasn’t the community Wilder really had to convince, it was Staci Asola, a beautiful employee of the mill who’d made it her mission to prove Wilder had dark intentions. How could he convince her that his intentions were pure without exposing her to the dark underworld that was a much bigger part of this than he wanted to admit? Staci Asola couldn’t believe Wilder’s intentions were pure because she knew where he came from. Wilder Pyre came from the same rival clan of bears that had come to Winters Cove and attacked her friends, leaving one with a bullet wound in her abdomen. She knew because she was part of that same clan. It was a fact that Wilder’s biological father had murdered Staci’s parents, and it was also a fact that the same man wanted to destroy Winters Cove. But where did Wilder’s loyalties really lie? Had he bought the mill to appease his psychotic father, or was he honest in his insistence that all he wanted was to give back?
