George Henry Newton had a dream. His dream was to get out of Zion,
Nevis. The village was poverty stricken. He ventured abroad and
entered the United States. He became a soldier and fought in
W.W.II. Fortunately, he escaped the ravages of the battle field.
During the post war years, he acquired a career, raised his family,
made his mark but became victim of a dependency. He died at age
fifty four, but his eldest son did not let his legacy die with him.
How does a person make sense of their life when things begin to go
bad? Editors George Howard and Edward Delgado-Romero posed this
question to several psychologists, counselors, and therapists, to
have them talk about a time in their lives when things began to go
bad. When Things Begin to Go Bad presents thirteen personal
narratives focused on hope-rather than despair and darkness-and
deals with issues including health problems, racism, homophobia,
disability, dysfunction, and death. The hope generated by these
stories provides a realistic and mature trust that there is
something to be learned when dealing with difficult issues. These
inspiring stories provide fresh insight into how people can make
sense of difficulties through the writing of personal narratives.
The stories included in this volume have an application for
psychological treatment and research, and represent a chance for
people to relate their stories to those of others.
Plenty of waterfowl hunters are familiar with Canada geese and
dabbling and diving ducks, but few know anything about sea ducks:
oldsquaws, scoters, eiders, and the rare harlequin. This book
introduces readers to a relatively untouched arena of waterfowling
-- birds that provide fast, challenging shooting and, after it's
over, delectable eating. The author, who was an experienced and
well-traveled gunner and outdoors writer, includes details on the
birds themselves, where they may be found, what kinds of shooting
equipment to use, how to lay out decoys, and finally how to prepare
the birds for delightful dining.
Recent explorations in the neurosciences have been progressing
towards an understanding of the relationship between brain struc
ture and brain function. Having passed through an era which may be
described as one of a localisationist philosophy, in which discrete
brain areas were seen to subserve only discrete functions, the
perspective of brain-behaviour relationships has advanced in recent
years to an appreciation that a more holistic approach is not only
heuristically valid, but is also most likely to lead to future
advances. The close relationship between the mind and the brain has
been appreciated since the time of Hippocrates when he opined 'men
ought to know that from nothing else but thence [from the brain]
comes joys, delights, laughter and sports, and sorrows, griefs,
despondency and lamentations ... and by this same organ we become
mad and delirious and fears and terrors assail us'. In the
nineteenth century, particularly in France and Germany, descrip
tions of what are now recognised to be independent neurological
diseases emerged following empirical clinical observations. Investi
gation led to the identification in many cases of underlying struc
tural abnormalities which could be linked to pathological changes.
Sir George Darwin (1845-1912) was the second son and fifth child of
Charles Darwin. After studying mathematics at Cambridge he read for
the Bar, but soon returned to science and to Cambridge, where in
1883 he was appointed Plumian Professor of Astronomy and
Experimental Philosophy. His family home is now the location of
Darwin College. His work was concerned primarily with the effect of
the sun and moon on tidal forces on Earth, and with the theoretical
cosmogony which evolved from practical observation: he formulated
the fission theory of the formation of the moon (that the moon was
formed from still-molten matter pulled away from the Earth by solar
tides). He also developed a theory of evolution for the
Sun-Earth-Moon system based on mathematical analysis in geophysical
theory. This volume of his collected papers covers oceanic tides
and lunar disturbances of gravity.

a member of a dynasty in which such marriages were common.
