A moving memoir that reminds us of the power of play to inspire,
unite, and heal—and that sometimes what brings us the most pain
can be the source of our greatest inspiration. In April 2018, Nikki
and Doug Mark’s perfectly healthy twelve-year-old-son, Tommy,
went to sleep one night and never woke up. They’re still not
exactly sure why. Devastated, Nikki embarked on an unconventional
journey to create a legacy for Tommy and to heal her heart. She
created a plan to transform neglected land in a Los Angeles public
park into a state-of-the-art athletic field, honoring Tommy’s
love of soccer and sharing his spirit of play with others. After
family, friends, and LA’s soccer community banded together to
raise over a million dollars for the project, park neighbors
resistant to change threatened to derail it. Throughout Nikki’s
journey, a remarkable string of incidents convinced her that her
recently departed son was guiding her through the process.
Ultimately, Tommy’s enduring spirit and the beautiful game he
loved taught her how to navigate the challenges she faced along the
way.
Parasitic flatworms include Cestodes (tapeworms) and trematodes
(flukes, schistosomes, etc), and are the cause of a number of major
diseases of medical and veterinary significance. Much recent
research has focused on molecular biology and genomics. this book
aims to review advances in our understanding of these and related
topics such as flatworm biochemistry, immunology and physiology.
Where appropriate, comparisons are made between different parasitic
flatworms and between parasitic and free-living species.
Contributors to the book include leading authorities from Europe,
North and South America, and Australia.
