My Shrinking Brain : Dancing as Fast as I Can: A book about Alzheimer's Disease (9781491047828)



MY SHRINKING BRAIN: DANCING AS FAST AS I CAN presents an amazing journey, starting when the author is diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's disease. Accepting is one thing, dealing is another. It offers hope and proffers ways to cope. Presenting updated medical information, doors long closed are broadly opened with candor, compassion and comedic humor. "There's a saying; A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. In my opinion, no knowledge is dangerous. In learning, there is no danger. The more we learn, the more enlightened we become about a disease that's been shrouded in mystery for decades. Mystery, fear, wild conjectures and always with a bad ending," says author Barbara Sharik. "Learning won't change the inevitable ending but it will allow for a safer journey en route... I want to know everything there is to know. It's like lightning striking. Suddenly, out of the blue it matters, and what matters most is that this brain shrinkage is happening to me, right now. My brain is shrinking," she says, adding, "Isn't that the way it often is? Unless you are directly involved, unless it's happening to you personally, it's just background noise. Static on a radio station. Bzzzzzzzzzz. Now, I am dancing as fast as I can." Despite the severity of the disease discussed, this is an enlighteningly unique yet pleasant read. An important book, it will grace the lives of sufferers, their families and caregivers for years to come. The brutality of the disease will frighten you, even as it informs you. Reading a firsthand account, will change you. There is no way that it cannot.

Disintegration : Indicators of the Coming American Collapse (9781949762341)

The United States is undergoing a profound and radical transformation, all features of which point to the fact of its departure at an accelerated rate from its largely self-proclaimed status as a global hegemon. The United States has lost ground in every single category that defines the power and status of a nation in relation to its rivals. This book delves into the reasons for a catastrophic decline of the American nation, addressing a range of factors from the economic (especially energy), to cultural, technological and military factors. America's deindustrialized economy is now deeply affected by what can only be described as a massacre of her small and middle-size businesses and the implosion of the US commercial aerospace industry. America's only driver of real growth, the shale oil industry, is facing realities which may make the Great Depression pale in comparison. Disintegration also seeks answers to the precipitous moral and professional decline of the always mediocr...

Kai Althoff : Ossi Di Falfa Und Die Anderen Sin Schuld (9783905829280)

This comprehensive publication is Kai Althoff's third monograph. It contains never-before-seen works in addition to images from every stage of the artist's career, concentrating most heavily on work since 2002. The artist considers this to be a more ideally composed retrospective than any exhibition of his work would be capable of achieving. The selection of images focuses on documenting the work in a way that addresses the character of the works as well as the artist's current and past perspectives on his oeuvre. Possessing the emotional charge of the artist's works, this book presents personal, previously unpublished photographs, paintings, and writings of "failed satire" with a deceptive sentimentality that oscillates between nostalgia and self-deprecation. This stands in contrast with the innate beauty and craftsmanship of the works, which engrossed the artist at the time of their conception. Souffleuse der Isolation is also concerned with re-evaluating...
