You may not think anything about IBD or IBS is funny, until you read Elizabeth Roberts’ account of her emotional roller-coaster ride as she learned to live successfully with these illnesses. After spending most of her honeymoon on St. Bart’s in the bathroom, Roberts returned home determined to find out what had happened to her dream life. After months of tests, her doctors told her she had IBD and IBS and had to learn to live with these debilitating diseases.

But no one told her how! After she hit bottom, physically and emotionally, Roberts decided that to get her life back she would have to find the way herself. This book recounts her journey—sometimes painfully, sometimes humorously—through the process of learning to live successfully with IBD and IBS.

Follow Roberts on her journey as she learns to understand the needs of her body; participates in special diets; engages in support groups; and integrates Reiki, yoga, meditation, and exercise into her daily routine of success. If you, a family member, a lover, or a friend have been diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease or Irritable Bowel Syndrome, this book is a must read. You too can start to live again!.

I am writing this book to share ideas with people who are suffering with the voice disorder of spastic or spasmodic dysphonia(SD). This book will hopefully share vital techniques that I had used to help me regain the use of my speaking voice. I had been to many doctors and have spent countless hours of research year after year trying to find a cure, to no avail. It had been a very frustrating quest, but I am very pleased to announce that there is definitely hope for anyone suffering with SD with the proven techniques of direct voice rehabilitation..

War and Peace in The Global Village is a collage of images and text that sharply illustrates the effects of electronic media and new technology on man.

Marshall McLuhan wrote this book thirty years ago and following its publication predicted that the forthcoming information age would be "a transitional era of profound pain and tragic identity quest". Marshall McLuhan illustrates the fact that all social changes are caused by introduction of new technologies. He interprets these new technologies as extensions or "self-amputations of our own being", because technologies extend bodily reach. McLuhan's ideas and observations seem disturbingly accurate and clearly applicable to the world in which we live.

War and Peace in the Global Village is a meditation on accelerating innovations leading to identity loss and war..
