Personal in approach, beautiful in design, global in scope, The Peripatetic Pursuit of Parkinson Disease envisions a better world for people with Parkinson disease (PD). Developed by the Parkinsons Creative Collective (all of whom have PD), it is an anthology of the experiences of over 120 experts at living with PD -- the patients themselves. Join them on a journey from diagnosis, to informed patient, to empowered advocate. Filled with information and inspiration, it's a color-illustrated encyclopedia of PD from the patients' point of view. With nearly one quarter of the voices from around the world, it encourages discussion while it speaks to those newly diagnosed as well as to those who have lived with PD for years. Even medical professionals reading the book have found new perspectives on what it is like to live with PD. It delivers much more than the basics about this chronic, progressive, neurological disease. The authors share their stories and strategies on how to improve health, quality of life, and wellness in spite of PD. They also present opinions on how to speed the development of new treatments and how to face other life challenges that come with PD. --For those with PD, it's a support group between two covers; and for everyone else, it's a window into the world of PD.

An Anthology of essays on various aspects of creativity written by 22 professional creativity coaches from the US, Canada, and New Zealand.

The Creative Minds Collection is the first annual fiction anthology from the Central Ohio based writers' group, Creative Minds Collective. An unthemed collection, the stories in this volume range from literary to fantasy, from dark to uplifting. Edited by Group Leader Inanna Gabriel, this anthology is a snapshot of the range of skill and style among members of this eclectic fiction group.

Us, Now roves from Indonesia to the Middle East, Taiwan, Mexico, China, Africa, Jamaica, Barbados, India, Pakistan, and points in between, converging in Newfoundland. These stories by racialized Newfoundlanders are by turns joyous, tender, hilarious, and heart-wrenching. They confront racism and celebrate the act of enduring. They are about settling and getting unsettled, about parents and their children, about language, about facing down the horrors of homophobia, about the joy of love, about lifelong relationships or the glee of a magnificent crush. Here social and domestic violence are countered with tenderness and the penetrating power of narrative. This is a book about distance and coming together, about what it means to be seen and understood, or--devastatingly--to be seen and judged, or to be invisible and misunderstood. What it means to belong. These are new writers and new visions of an in-the-present-moment Newfoundland, stories shaped by powerful voices, stories urgent, radical, and sparking with beauty.

This slim volume is a collection of poems that address a variety of issues which will be of great interest and importance to readers, both general and academic, Indian as well as multinational. It is refreshingly free of cynicism or melancholy. Written in an interesting and interactive style, each poem has an icon or image attached to it (as a visual complement) and most of the texts carry explanatory notes for a better understanding of cross-cultural references, which is a unique feature of this volume. Readers will find it at once thoroughly enjoyable and thought-provoking, as attested by the following review comments from across the globe. • John Leong on Butterfly Effect: “... that gave me a brief history lesson on India; never thought about it in that context too; really eye-opening…!” • Freddie Robinson Jr. on No free lunch: “Very enlightening views… Powerfully expressed ..I admire and respect your intellectual honesty and bravery. I am blessed to have read your words of wisdom...” • Silent One on Identity and Difference: “Great storytelling.” • Maureen McGreavy on Catch-22: "OH sharp pen! Enthralling read!"
