Neurological complications of progressive HIV-1 infection remain a common cause of morbidity even during widespread use of antiretroviral therapy (ART). Long-term resistance to ART, drug compliance, untoward drug side effects, a myriad of opportunistic infection, depression and other psychiatric disease manifestations, concomitant drug abuse, neuropathies, and an inability to clear viral reservoirs, explain, in large measure, disease progression and immune deterioration. These are associated with a number of psychiatric, muscle, nerve, infectious, as well as cognitive, behavioral, and motor disturbances seen in infected people. Fully updated from the previous two editions and replete with color images, The Neurology of AIDS, Third Edition covers each of these neurological complications and more with a focus on molecular and viral disease processes, cellular factors influencing viral replication therapeutic challenges, and the changing epidemiological patterns of disease.

"Evil needs to be pondered just as much as good," according to Carl Jung, "for good and evil are ultimately nothing but ideal extensions and abstractions of doing, and both belong to the chiaroscuro of life."

If we accept Jung's idea as valid, then a tangible representation can be found in the cinematic archvillain, the paradigm of evil. It is here that we see the negative, malevolent aspects of human behavior best portrayed. Such larger-than-life characters as The Joker (Batman), Lex Luthor (Superman), Freddy Krueger (A Nightmare on Elm Street), and Darth Vader (Star Wars) haunt our dreams and imaginations, giving us both chills and thrills at the same time.

This book is an examination of the archvillain.

Among the first wave of Baby Boomers, Charles S. Fox was born in the wilds of Hollywood, California of an Irish father and a Norwegian mother, hence the ancient Norse/Irish battles rage in his blood.

Throughout his school years he was noted for his leadership, his ability to talk himself into and out of tight spots and a penchant for the written word. It soon became apparent that young master Fox was, as some put it, "Such a ham he should sleep on a hook at night "

Fox has been named "Irishman of the Year" by the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick of San Diego and the Irish Congress of Southern California. In 1984 he served as Chairman of the San Diego Irish Olympic Team Host Committee and is a member of the American Ireland Fund Dinner Committee. His writing has earned him awards from the Press Club of San Diego and the International Society of Poets.

He continues his career as a journalist, novelist, documentary producer/writer and screenwriter, having retreated to his Druidesque, canyon side treehouse with his wife Sheila (she of the Kellys and Doyles) and his Golden Retriever, Casey.

It is often said that the American Revolution was a conservative revolution, but in many parts of the British colonies the Revolution was anything but conservative. This book follows the Revolution in Pennsylvania's backcountry through the experiences of eighteen men and women who lived in Northampton County during these years of turmoil. Fox's account will startle many readers for whom the Revolution symbolizes the high-minded pursuit of liberty. In 1774, Northampton County was the second largest of Pennsylvania's eleven counties, comprising more than 2,500 square miles, three towns (Allentown, Bethlehem, and Easton), and some 15,000 people. When the Revolution broke out, militias took control. Frontier justice replaced the rule of law as zealous patriots preoccupied themselves not with fighting the British but with seizing local political power and persecuting their pacifist neighbors.

Sweet Land of Liberty reawakens the Revolution in Northampton County with sketches of men and women caught up in it. Seldom is this story told from the vantage point of common folks, let alone those in the backcountry. In Fox's hands, we see in these individuals an altogether more disturbing Revolution than we have ever reckoned with before.
