Astro and Astra Crystalstar live in the Milky Way Galaxy, in
another solar system. They belong to an evolving people called the
Funny People. The Crystalstar family live with hundreds of other
Funny families on the one thousand-year-old space station, 109. The
Funny Peoples' everyday life is so different from Humans' everyday
life that the difference gives insight into our own collective day
by day evolution. Five stories are planned to explore the advanced
Physics of the Funny People and how their technology affects the
everyday lives of Astro and Astra in an easy to understand creative
coloring book presentation.
By God's grace humanity, the organism, is evolving on a very
unstable rock. Humanity is a fragile organism evolving in an
uncaring inorganic universe in a very narrow corridor of relative
time. We have a tenuous stay here on Earth. I believe that humanity
is the first intelligent organic life form in our young thirteen
billion year old universe. I believe Humanity has been chosen to
bring God's word in steps to the universe. The first step is to
evolve into our solar system, Heaven. The second step is to evolve
into our galaxy. The third step is to evolve into our universe.
Humanity has entered into the twenty first century. It's time "we
the people" take it upon ourselves to get ready for the big move,
off of Earth. God will guide humanity. Do we want go the way of the
dinosaur?

Diseases of the nervous system are a relatively small but vitally
important part of medicine. There was no scientific basis for
diagnosis or treatment until the seventeenth century when Dr Thomas
Willis (1621-1675) and his team tackled anatomy by dissection of
the nervous system, physiology by animal experiments and pathology
by post-mortem analysis. It was Willis who first used the word
"neurology" and his team, who were among the founders of the Royal
Society, included Christopher Wren who, besides being famous as an
architect of London's churches, drew the first modern diagram of
the human brain. Developments in our knowledge of the nervous
system in the following centuries, and the unique importance of
clinical neurology, became globally recognised through the work of
Whytt, Heberden, Hughlings Jackson, Gowers and many others.The work
and discoveries of these eminent specialists were extended with the
introduction of such neurosciences as neurophysiology,
neuropathology and neuro-radiology, and this is the first
comprehensive account of a battle with the unknown by determined
practitioners.
The first British book on neurology in music was published over 30
years ago. Edited by Drs Macdonald Critchley and R A Henson, it was
entitled Music and the Brain (published by Wm Heinemann Medical
Books), but all of its contributors are now either retired or
deceased. Since then, there has been an increasing amount of
research, and the present volume includes the most significant of
these advances. The book begins with the evolutionary basis of
meaning in music and continues with the historical perspectives,
after which the human nervous system is compared to a clavichord,
highlighting the use of metaphor in the history of modern
neurology. It discusses the neurologist in the concert hall as well
as the musician at the bedside by showing how neurology enriches
musical perception, the main theme being the cerebral localisation
of music production and perception. The book also emphasises the
value of teaching singing to treat speech disorders and the
importance of nerve compression in musicians, the final chapter
being on recent techniques of imaging the musical brain.
The book presents a basis for the interaction of the brain and
nervous system with painting, music and literature, and a
discussion of art from multiple facets such as anatomy, migraine,
illusion and evolutionary biology. The book explores several
aspects of the neurobiology of painting, including evolutionary
neurobiology, sensation vs. perception, the visual brain and how
the mind works, and also explores the affects of brain disorders
and trauma on artist, with a concluding chapter on Frida Kahlo and
the spinal cord injury that influenced her painting.
