Oh No! Ufo! (Strange Encounters) Linda Joy Singleton
 Book DescriptionCassie Strange is the only normal person in her family. Her dad is a TV celebrity who debunks the paranormal in his weekly cable show I Don't Believe It! Her mom is a naturalist who once wore a gown of grass to get her point across. Cassie's genius brother is an aspiring actor who's always in costume. And Amber, Cassie's kid sister, has a secret way of talking to animals. When her family goes on a camping trip, Cassie finally feels they are doing something "normal" - that is, until she finds out that the vacation is really an excuse for her dad to investigate UFO sightings in the area. After their first night in the tent, Amber is not acting at all like herself. Cassie realizes that something is up, and she soon discovers that her "sister" is an alien imposter named Vee. Of course, her father doesn't believe her. How can Cassie alone rescue Amber before the aliens use her sister for show-and-tell?...

Crashing America Adam Cole
 Book DescriptionEver wish you could just go? Give up everything and hit the road? That?s what Troy Paddock did. Following in the footsteps of Jack Kerouac and Hunter S. Thompson, this Colorado college kid grabbed one willing best friend, Vinny del Sparrow, and shot off in every direction of the U.S. Their only purpose was to party like rock stars. A desert rave, New York clubs, Mardi Gras in New Orleans were all part of the duo?s wild ride. But such an adventure-filled romp does not go without a tiny bit of misadventure and mishap. Extreme weather, car troubles, and cash shortages make the search for the party interestingly challenging. Told through Paddock?s eyes, the reader is let into the thoughts and insights of someone whirling through life without a single care for reality and an intense lust for excitement. At points the endless partying catches up with our spontaneous hero but only briefly before he is able to wrestle away from its grasp....

Neurosurgical Re-engineering of the Damaged Brain and Spinal Cord
 Book DescriptionThis volume highlights the important role played by neurosurgeons and their techniques in neurorehabilitation. The authors review the recent advances made in neurosurgical techniques which can contribute to the patient's functional recovery from neurological deficits, such as movement disorders, bladder dysfunction, pain and other sensory disturbances, and cognitive dysfunction after CNS damage. They also demonstrate that when neurosurgeons are actively involved in applying a multidisciplinary approach during early neurorehabilitation, the patient's functional recovery is greatly facilitated through the timely use of various different neurosurgical techniques, including nerve grafting, cell transplantation, cortical stimulation, deep brain and spinal cord stimulation, peripheral nerve stimulation, and intrathecal drug therapy. The importance of such a multidisciplinary approach is discussed in terms of a new concept, the neurosurgical re-engineering of the damaged CNS....

The Singing and Dancing Daughters of God Timothy Schaffert
 Book Description A blithe and redemptive seriocomic love story filled with country music, the ghosts of Halloween, and an ironic brand of down-home religion. Newly divorced and feeling the pain of separation from his family, Hud Smith channels his regret into writing country-western songs, contemplating life on the lamb with his 8-year-old daughter, and searching cryptic postcards for news of his teenage son who has run off with The Daughters of God, an alternative Gospel-punk band of growing fame. Then he finds himself inching toward reconciliation with his ex, tossing his whole talent for misery into question as they head off in a borrowed school bus, hoping so very tentatively to bring the entire family together again. In this endearing misadventure that threatens to turn out right in spite of it all, Schaffert writes a thin line between tragedy and hilarity, turning wry humor and a keen sense of the paradoxical onto characters who deserve all the......
