"Kingfisher Voyages" take the reader (the 'voyager') on a
fantastic, interactive journey of discovery. Using acetates,
gatefolds and die-cut pages, in-depth information is presented in a
new, exciting and irresistible way. Meet your guides, two real-life
shark experts (Valerie and Ron Taylor), who provide their own,
unique eyewitness accounts of what it is like to explore the
world's underwater environments. Dive through the 'layers' of the
sea, from the sunlit zone, through the twilight zone, until finally
reaching the abyss. Visit the seabed to find out more about the
plants, animals and ghostly shipwrecks that can be found there.
Along the way, peer through die-cut portholes inside the Titanic,
lift the acetate to reveal the inside of a submarine and use the
divider tabs to move easily from one chapter to the next. The
journey ends with the as yet unexplored regions of the ocean.

This book describes human hereditary ion channel diseases of
voltage- and ligand-gated ion channels covering the diverse fields
of medicine myology, neurology, cardiology, and nephrology
requiring a wide and interdisciplinary readership. Interesting
parallels in pathogenetic mechanisms of disease are especially
emphasized to interest even highly specialized readers in entities
outside of their fields. Each author has written an objective
overview of his or her particular subject in a way that should
allow the reader within a short period of time to obtain a
comprehensive picture of the present state of art.
Phineas Gage was truly a man with a hole in his head. Phineas, a
railroad construction foreman, was blasting rock near Cavendish,
Vermont, in 1848 when a thirteen-pound iron rod was shot through
his brain. Miraculously, he survived to live another eleven years
and become a textbook case in brain science.
At the time, Phineas Gage seemed to completely recover from his
accident. He could walk, talk, work, and travel, but he was
changed. Gage "was no longer Gage," said his Vermont doctor,
meaning that the old Phineas was dependable and well liked, and the
new Phineas was crude and unpredictable.
His case astonished doctors in his day and still fascinates
doctors today. What happened and what didn't happen inside the
brain of Phineas Gage will tell you a lot about how your brain
works and how you act human.
