A leading authority on classical games here provides a comprehensive study of the practice of combat sports in the ancient civilizations of Greece, Rome, and the Near East. Describing and analyzing the sports of boxing, wrestling, stick-fighting, and pankration, Michael B. Poliakoff discusses such topics as the function of competition and violent games in ancient society; on the social background of the participants, showing the broad spectrum of Greek athletic personnel; on the significance of the appearance of combat sport in myth and literature; and on the alleged cultic functions of the ancient combat sports. The book is copiously illustrated with photographs of numerous objects rarely or never before published.

On September 14, 1951, the front page of virtually every major newspaper in the United States carried the story of how B picture actor Tom Neal had brutally beaten dapper leading man Franchot Tone's face into a bloody pulp over the affections of sultry blonde actress Barbara Payton.The sordid narrative surrounding this ill-fated triangle would have "legs". Only Franchot Tone's career would survive the disgraceful events. Barbara Payton would soon descend into a desperate world of drugs and prostitution and, in the 1960s, Tom Neal would be prosecuted for first degree murder.B MOVIE dramatizes the most notorious scandal to hit Hollywood during the first half of the 1950s.2 Men; 1 Woman.

If you are expecting a read that is full of anger, and blame and depression, then you will be disappointed.This book is an outline of the life of one survivor of this virus, and the legacy that remains after survival. It is hoped that it will encourage others with this, or other afflictions to see that there is always a life to be led. It may be far from the life you may have wished for, or indeed the life you might choose, but it is still a life.This story has not reached a conclusion as yet, as there may well be hurdles to jump in the future, but for now this is the living history. This account is written in the victim's own words, as he lived it and as he viewed his life. It is a personal account....'On the first day the nurse asked "any pain?" to which I replied politely "no thank you".I really was not intending to make her laugh, I was half conscious I think at the time, and was just answering the question as I had heard it ..'
It has been a year since I originally published this book. People seem to like it when I give them a copy. Maybe one day it will sell. That is in God's hands. Writing the book has been good for my recovery. If you find some benefit, it is icing on the cake.In this text, I try to bring a bit more spirituality to the dual diagnosis literature. While I use some of the medical understanding I have picked up over the years, I will try to focus on the spiritual angle that books written by therapists cannot hope to reach. In the end, dualaholics, like alcoholics, find a spiritual awakening from one dualcoholic helping another. I do not soft pedal character defects or God, which is often the flaw in literature created for us from outside the fellowship but I will present the need to find perfection in a very different light than Oxford, Dr. Bob and Bill W. presented it. I hope you find it helpful. The suggested Traditions address the vital question of whether we should all continue in our respective fellowships or, to honor the Fifth Tradition, create a fellowship of our own. I hope this is use in our trudge to wellness. In the text, I refer to the Big Book and the Twelve & Twelve, so chapters are much shorter than otherwise. This should help them be useful for reading in meetings.

Ebola‘s Curse: 2013-2016 Outbreak in West Africa is about hemorrhagic fever viruses, especially Ebola, its initial origin in central Africa 1976, its unprecedented appearance in West Africa in 2013. The book records in sequence and detective style how the initial outbreak of Ebola from the index case in rural Guinea traveled to Sierra Leone, the work and fate of those working in the Kenema Government Hospital (KGH) isolation ward in Sierra Leone. The book provides vignettes of the three main players involved with Ebola at KGH, Sheik Khan, Pardis Sabeti, and Robert Garry. Khan was the head of the unit, declared a national hero by his Sierra Leone government. He died fighting Ebola and was/is recognized in the USA by American societies by awards created for his historic work and death. Pardis Sabeti, a geneticist from Harvard and Broad MIT Institute, who was honored as a "Scientist of the Year" by Time Magazine and the Smithsonian Institute. Robert Garry, head of the operation to fight hemorrhagic fevers and Ebola, shuttled between Tulane University, KGH, and The White House to make aware through the press and others the dilemma and tragedy that was unfolding, and the need to obtain additional medical and health care support and supplies. Sabeti and Garry currently work with Oldstone on Ebola at KGH and thus personal communication and knowledge was/is available to the author for the book.
More people were killed by smallpox during the twentieth century--over 300 million--than by all of the wars of that period combined. In 1918 and 1919, influenza virus claimed over 50 million lives. A century later, influenza is poised to return, ongoing plagues of HIV/AIDS and hepatitis infect millions, and Ebola, Zika, and West Nile viruses cause new concern and panic. The overlapping histories of humans and viruses are ancient. Earliest cities became both the cradle of civilization and breeding grounds for the first viral epidemics. This overlap is the focus of virologist/immunologist Michael Oldstone in Viruses, Plagues and History. Oldstone explains principles of viruses and epidemics while recounting stories of viruses and their impact on human history. This fully updated second edition includes engrossing new chapters on hepatitis, Zika, and contemporary threats such as the possible return of a catastrophic influenza, and the impact of fear of autism on vaccination efforts. This is a fascinating panorama of humankind's longstanding conflict with unseen viral enemies, both human successes--such as control of poliomyelitis, measles, smallpox and yellow fever, and continued dangers--such as HIV and Ebola. Impeccably researched and accessibly written, Viruses, Plagues and History will fascinate all with an interest in how viral illnesses alter the course of human history.
