Join the Lost Branch Sportsman's Club once again... Every day afield holds something to discover. It could be a monstrous fish, a new grouse covert, a morning the ducks drop in to your call, a dog's first or last point, or the buck you've been waiting for all season. Or, it could be none of these, and it's simply time spent connected to the land and to others. Whatever the day might hold, there's something to appreciate, because you just never know what may be around the next bend.

"A Patient's Narrative" offers an honest and compelling look into a mental institution, specifically Whiting Forensic Hospital (WFH) in Middletown, Connecticut, from the perspective of a former patient. Both unique and deeply personal, this book highlights stories and lessons that will never be reported due to the hospital's fear of losing support and funding. Learn the truth about life in a mental institution through these pages. This is as close as you can get. This comprehensive book is filled with advice and expectations that will be beneficial for anyone coming into a mental health hospital or other incarcerating institution, those studying mental hospitals, or anybody who is looking to learn more about the mental health system - particularly in Connecticut. The author shares real life examples of events, people, and activities that happened at WFH. He also shares advice on how to deal with situations, people, and scenarios that helped him during his time at the hospital. Fundamentally, this book was written to share the "whole picture" of mental health institutions and systems from the patient's point of view. For far too long, this has been an underreported and undervalued segment of mental health literature due to patients being incapable or afraid to come forward and share their stories.

Radio 1 broadcasters and bestselling authors of KID NORMAL and THE GREAT DREAM ROBBERY - Greg James and Chris Smith - are back with a BRAND NEW hilarious adventure!

Is this a serious book? Yes and No. I'm a graduate student pursuing a doctorate in neurobiology, and I wrote this book using humor and simple conversational English to address challenging topics in science (perception vs. reality), philosophy (objective truth vs. relativism) and politics (conservatism vs. liberalism). For example, people don't seem to know how to differentiate between perception and reality (or articulate the difference between perception and reality). However, all of the science about how to differentiate between perception and reality is out there in the scientific literature. It's all buried in boring college textbooks, in excruciating, mind-numbing detail. In this book, I take that boring scientific data and present it in a manner that's easy to understand. The book is a mash-up of science, religion, politics and paranormal activity. Here is a run-down of the chapters: GOD - Covers the science underlying perception in humans and animals. The first half of this chapter covers several key experiments involving perception in animals, including Pavlov's dogs, and it features a brief intro to evolution. The second half of the chapter addresses all of the step-by-step processes involved in perception, including how neurons (nerve cells) transmit information from the senses to the brain. This chapter completely describes how the brain processes sensory information by mixing it with inherited DNA and acquired memories to deliver conscious perception to humans and animals. LOVE - Begins by defining love as the opposite of selfishness. This chapter also discusses the idea that humans have "animal stuff" floating around in their bloodstreams because humans evolved from animals, and how God is the "energy" that enables humans to rise above their "animal biology" and become fully human (and that atheists are basically operating on a level of being "sophisticated animals" instead of being "fully human"). Also criticizes Jon Stewart and Bill Maher for trashing religion (because a society without religion is a society without morality). HEAVEN, HELL and PURGATORY - Here's the thing. I'm a serious researcher and scientist, however, I have had hundreds of paranormal experiences. I have a "guardian angel" who has taken me on "tours" of Heaven, Hell and Purgatory, and I write about these experiences in the book. I'm not kidding about these experiences, which involve vivid and real encounters with supernatural phenomena. I know most people will not believe me, but the descriptions of Heaven, Hell and Purgatory in my book are based on real experiences. SIN - Starts with a list of the "Top 10" most popular sins, but the bulk of the chapter is about abortion (nothing gruesome; it just talks about the absurdity of abortion and the absurdity of people who think abortion is "okay"). This chapter shows how abortion is connected with euthanasia, and includes a "satire" on how the ObamaCare healthcare law will pave the way for widespread euthanasia by setting up facilities called "Planned Childhood." HOLINESS - Runs about 30 pages in the paperback and includes 7 pages on the evolution of physical matter (from the Big Bang to the formation of planet Earth) and the evolution of life (from microorganisms to animals to humans), including an accurate timeline of these events. The last 18 pages trace the history of Judaism and Christianity from 1000 B.C. (during the time of King David) to the time of the early Christian church around 300 A.D. The final three pages of the book include a rational, logical explanation about who Jesus is, how Jesus' Resurrection is the greatest "mutation" in the history of evolution, how the Resurrection transformed matter in a way that enabled a new world to emerge, how Baptism enables humans to participate in this new world, and how the Resurrection is a "cosmic event which includes Heaven and Earth and links them together."
