Hardcore Health-Live Young! is a wellness and health book that attacks the problem of aging by staying healthy, fighting age and disease with diet and lifestyle, and "living young." We seem to be bifurcating as a society into those who learn about how to be healthy and take care of themselves and those who choose instead to simply live the commercialized low-nutrient, high-toxin, sedentary lifestyle. Since you are reading this book, I suspect you are one of the former. Not only have the guidelines to healthy living presented in this book been shown effective, but having practiced this myself virtually my whole life, I have had direct personal experience watching what happened to my friends and family according to the choices they made…Do you want a shorter life burdened with disease and fatigue? Or do you want a life of vitality and adventure? The choice is yours, —Joseph Pizzorno, ND, author of the Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine (2,000,000 copies in six languages), the internationally acclaimed Textbook of Natural Medicine, The Toxin Solution.

The more you love yourself, the more simple your life becomes. You won''t make as many mountains out of molehills (or out of plain air) and you wont beat yourself up or drag yourself down over mistakes or temporary setbacks. When you''re opinion of yourself goes up, you''ll stop trying to get so much validation and attention from other people. You become less needy and find an inner stability even when your world might be negative or uncertain at times.

Families who put up Christmas trees need this story! It is Christmas time and the pine trees are sprucing up. They are cleaning nests from their branches, patching holes in their trunks, and telling the forest animals to find other places to live. Why? Mother Nature will visit soon to choose the most spectacular tree as this year''s Christmas tree. Mother Nature expects the trees to be clean, green, tall, and straight. This causes a problem for Selena Squirrel, Miss Chickadee, Momma Deer, and other animals of the forest. One tree, however, is willing to help. Little Pine tells the animals that he can be their new home. This fixes one problem, but causes another. Mother Nature does not like messy trees, and Little Pine is messy.

The continent has been divided in two for nearly a century; one side a snow covered world of magic, rules, and dictatorship, the other a warm, adventure filled place of wonder. This is at least how Ezivan Lentaris, the daughter of the dictating sorcerer, sees it. In search of adventure she runs from her father to the other side of the continent, taking up a new identity, making new friends, and indeed, finding more adventure that many would see in a lifetime. However, breaking away from her father''s tight grip and the control of her past is a little harder then she may have originally suspected.

A study of love, life and loss, though the lens of post-migratory fragmentation

Like Tom, the hyena could be seen, soon lapping up the traces of the morning''s spoils, ingesting the sweet carrion through its lulling glands, along the track it follows. Tom absorbed the air of the explorers -- Sucked it down, ingested it. Until he was but a fractured remnant of the Western world -- Still part Africa, not yet civil, holy. He had no real home, not any more, yet he followed a dream, that will of an apparition; dream of a man with a raised and pointed spear. ""That other life is not for you, Tom. "" ""Here you might breathe. . . ."" the warm alcohol releases fears and dreams. "" . . .If you must breathe at all"" . . .

Irreverant poems on history, Rhodesia, Zimbabwe, nationalist psychology and the past.

Fresh life is possible, but first the fighting of the father-daughter war. Colonalism, war and regeneration: there may be no more extreme loss than loss of country, identity, historical context and cultural recognition and support. Also the sense of tension is high when blood has been spilt for a cause. In that case, the nervous system is already shattered. What can possibly remain for it but some kind of transcendent or mystical regeneration? A father and daughter cross swords, but which is which and who has righteousness and justice on their side? Traditional colonialism has had to die but what will be reborn in its place? Death brings regeneration. But war and loss are eternal. I may never write again, but I have brought you this. Here is the legacy of the death of previous generations that supported what they thought was right, which turned out not to be.
