Following the retirement of the legendary Carl Fogarty, Chris Walker has become Britain's most popular motorcycle racer. Incredibly brave, outspoken and with talent to burn, Chris is frank about his hell-raising exploits on and off track, his legion of fans and his action-packed career in World and British superbikes. Chris Walker's first book recreates his zest for life, passion for bikes, but most-of-all, his unique sense of humour. It includes not only the inside story of his racing, but revelations of his and fellow riders' more 'racy' exploits. Chris will also expose some of the inner demons that are rarely shown to the public. Major storylines include: A childhood surrounded by bikes, and his first girlfriend: 'She was 13 going on 21 and had the biggest boobs I have ever seen.' A catalogue of broken bones: just weeks after spending four months in plaster following a serious road bike accident, he almost severed his other leg when motocrossing. The inevitable attention of the opposite sex: 'Girls would not have been knocking on my motorhome door offering a blow-job if I hadn't been racing bikes...' The classic season-long ding-dong battle with arch-rival Neil Hodgson, which went to the courts over disputed points. The loyal support, and exploits, of his five-strong 18-stone posse of mates known as the 'Big Lads' and the less-welcome attentions of a fully-fledged stalker. A switch to Carl Fogarty's race team: 'The bike caught fire during practice at Silverstone and I jumped off to avoid serious injury - but not before all my pubic hair had burnt off!' His battles with the debilitating Bell's Palsy. His long-awaited first World Superbike win from the back of the grid at Assen in 2006. Updated and told in Chris's inimitably self-deprecating style - and with all the drama of the opening races of the 2008 World Supersport series - the book breaks the mould of recent motorcycling autobiographies.

Established under late Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez, Mision Barrio Adentro (MBA) Venezuela s adaptation of the Cuban social medical model utilizes a free, universal health care system to serve and educate rural, poor and marginalized populations and to broaden the very praxis and ideology of what health means in a true Latin American social medicine approach. MBA moves beyond conventional medicine to form a true community-oriented primary care system Through qualitative research with personnel from both sides of the political spectrum in Venezuela, Venezuela s Health Care Revolution offers a unique analysis of MBA s ability to empower marginalized populations to become health care providers for their own medically vulnerable and under-served communities. Further, Chris Walker argues that the potential of this medical approach is significant not just in Latin America but in Canada and the United States as well. Chris Walker is a PhD candidate at Saint Mary s University and the author of several publications on Cuban medical adaptations as well as on the cultural constructions of health care, medical education, rural/urban medical disparities and the connections between politics, health and poverty.

This book totally defines your true nature: how to get in touch with it, and be guided in your life through it. Your True Nature is that part of you that is above conditioning, reaction and confusion. It is pure. It is your real potential. To the degree that we can be honest with ourselves, cut the rhetoric and separate our emotions from our truth, is the degree to which we can live authentically and in peace with life.
The cost of separating ourselves from nature is being recognised. The human cost of separating people from what is true and natural within them is becoming unquestionable. Our respect for humanity as a global family means we are returning to respect nature. This is inseparable from the quality of the environment we live in, both internal to ourselves and external in the world at large.
Knowing yourself, your True Nature, is a great contribution to this quest for a better life and a better world. This work invites you to look beyond the conditioning of your culture, your corporation and your family to find what is REAL within you. It invites you to explore your True Nature.

The Laws of Nature have been derived from ancient texts dating back thousands of years. They help to explain human behaviour by linking personal character with the 5 elements of nature. Now, these elements have been studied and interpreted to help you become a better you. A straight talking, honest application of the learning's of millennia, to the personal issues of today.
Through the application of these techniques, you will achieve "Stillness," a state of mind in which time stops, you feel absolutely at one with whatever you are doing. A moment of pure inspiration and for the athlete, the leader, the entrepreneur or the artist, they are moments of absolute perfection. For most people this inspired state of mind is an accident, but by using the laws of nature you can achieve this deliberately.
With these techniques, you'll feel more centred, balanced and calm. Your health will improve because there will be an obvious reduction in stress levels, anxiety and uncertainty. The skills are already within you; they are natural, ancient and as relevant today as they were thousands of years ago.
Positive personal change through higher consciousness: a richer, more rewarding quality of life.
