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. "

When somebody throws the full weight of responsibility for your own
happiness back on your shoulders, at first it feels a bit
overwhelming - Like "where do I start?"
That's what is great about this book from Chris Walker. He doesn't
mess around with long stories about made up characters doing
amazing transitions in their lives in three seconds. He just nails
it and leaves us, the readers, to choose if we want to pay the
price and focus on the issues.
It's also great to find a book that broaches personal growth,
relationship happiness and business. So often the three are split,
so it can feel like we're three different people, but Walker talks
about the affect one area of our lives can have on another. He
really pushes the idea that it all begins with some inner
stillness.
In a rush, rush world where dog eat dog business is making people
more competitive this book is a refreshing break. It's amazing that
these Laws of Nature have been around for more than 4,000 years and
got "lost" when religions took over. It seems so logical that they
can actually help us be better people. There's no competition.
At the end of each chapter there's a bunch of hints and tips, to
help you along the way. This is where there's real life
application. Things to do and most of them are so doable they can
be part of your life by the end of a long flight and a good read.
What are you waiting for? Go for it
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.
