Although vital to our well-being and even to our success as a species, the physical sense of balance has never attained the same recognition as sight, hearing, touch, smell, or taste. Now, with an epidemic of debilitating falls sweeping America's aging population, the time is ripe for a lively and illuminating tour of the human body's most exquisitely intricate and least understood faculty. Balance is the first book written for a general audience that examines the mysteries of the human balance system -- the astonishingly complicated mechanisms that allow our bodies to counteract the force of gravity as we move through space. A scientific, historical, and practical exploration of how balance works, Balance also provides the keys to remaining upright for as long as humanly possible. From simple motion sickness to astronauts' "space stupids," and from fetal somersaults to the Flying Wallendas, McCredie guides readers on a delightful quest to elevate balance to its rightful place in the pantheon of the senses.

Missing and presumed dead, Nick awakes in his bed, bloodied and bruised with no memory of where he has been or what happened to him. As Nick's friends gather around him to help discover the source of his lost memories, they begin to understand that Nick did not return alone. Something dark is growing inside him. After the darkness forces Nick to go on the run, a stranger appears, knowing more about their situation than they themselves do. The stranger also gives a thin hope of stopping the darkness and its plan. Reality itself will pay the price if the force inside Nick cannot be stopped, forcing his friends to decide where the line between loss and loyalty is drawn.

"In Jeff Koons's One Ball Total Equilibrium Tank (1985), a Spalding basketball floats in the centre of a glass tank that rests on a simple black metal stand. The work presents what Koons called 'the penultimate state of being' - neither death nor life, but a suspended state of rest. It has been called one of the defining works of the 1980s, but was also described as 'an endgame', 'misleading' and part of a 'repulsive' practice"--Jacket.
