NYT bestselling author Gordon Korman's sequel toUngifted cleverly sends up our preconceived ideas about intelligence, heroism, and popularity! Donovan Curtis has never been what anyone would call "gifted." But his genius friend Noah Youkilis is actuallysupergifted, with one of the highest IQs around. After years at the Academy for Scholastic Distinction, all Noah dreams of is the opportunity to fail if he wants to. And he's landed in the perfect place to do it--Donovan's school. Almost immediately, Noah finds himself on the wrong side of cheerleading captain Megan Mercury and alpha jock Hash "Hashtag" Taggart. Sticking up for Noah lands Donovan in the middle of a huge feud with Hashtag. He's told to stay away from the sports star--or else. That should be the end of it, but when a freak incident suddenly makes Donovan a hero, he can't tell anyone about it since Hashtag is involved. So Noah steps in and becomes "Superkid." Now he's gone from nerd to titan at school. And it may have gone more than a little bit to his head.

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF DISCIPLESHIP: This large volume is another fantastic example of Dr. Baker’s deep insight into the required understanding needed for rapid progress on the path toward mental and emotional wholeness and personality integration. It is the textbook for each of us to understand ourselves and the steps we must take towards initiations and union with the Soul! Amongst the many subjects, Dr. Baker explains the functions of the Soul and the Monad, the Dweller on the Threshold, the Heaven World, Initiations, the Burning Ground; the Unconscious and Superconscious and much, much more. Again, the student’s understanding is aided by many charts, images and lists. This inspiring volume has become the working textbook, not only for the neophyte and would be initiate, but also for the care and development of those we call supergifted. These are children, coming into incarnation today in vast numbers, who have had many lives on earth and whose consequent spiritual development needs special attention. Their spiritual qualities are itemized and methods of recognising these pearls of humanity are given.

The Powers Latent in Man: A minority of psychically gifted people exercises the powers discussed by Dr. Baker in this book, but they are latent in all of us. They include hypnosis, telepathy, psychokinesis and healing. Dr. Baker presents scientific and “mystical” evidence for the existence of these mysterious but natural forces and documents their operation in contemporary society. Amongst the amazing subjects covered are: super-gifted children; auric manipulation for intellectual power, continued youthfulness and mental brilliance, and much more. Dr. Baker's exciting proposition in this book is that the esoteric and occult truths of the ages are being verified by science.

Advances in Child Development and Behavior is intended to ease the task faced by researchers, instructors, and students who are confronted by the vast amount of research and theoretical discussion in child development and behavior. The serial provides scholarly technical articles with critical reviews, recent advances in research, and fresh theoretical viewpoints.

Oxygen-ozone therapy is a complementary approach less known than homeopathy and acupuncture because it has come of age only three decades ago. This book clarifies that, in the often nebulous field of natural medicine, the biological bases of ozone therapy are totally in line with classic biochemical, physiological and pharmacological knowledge. Ozone is an oxidising molecule, a sort of superactive oxygen, which, by reacting with blood components, generates a number of chemical messengers responsible for activating crucial biological functions such as oxygen delivery, immune activation, release of hormones and induction of antioxidant enzymes, which is an exceptional property for correcting the chronic oxidative stress present in atherosclerosis, diabetes, infections and cancer. Moreover ozone therapy, by inducing nitric oxide synthase, may mobilize endogenous stem cells, which will promote regeneration of ischaemic tissues. The description of these phenomena offers the first comprehensive picture for understanding how ozone works and why, when properly used as a real drug within the therapeutic range, not only does not procure adverse effects but yields a feeling of wellness. Half of the book describes the value of ozone therapy in several diseases, particularly cutaneous infections and vascular diseases where ozone really behaves as a "wonder" drug. The book has been written for clinical researchers, physicians and ozonetherapists but also for the layman or the patient interested in this therapy.

CANNON FODDER - An English Boy Raised and Blooded in the Cannon's Mouth Like many English couples exhausted and disenchanted after World War One, Douglas Baker's mother and father emi­grated with their children to South Africa searching for new opportunities to settle the restlessness that the war had engen­dered in them. South Africa itself was a potpourri of races and cultures which offered opportunities that favoured some, whilst allowing them to retain their very English culture. Douglas himself, born in England, had to contend with conditions in the foreign land in which his family had chosen to raise him. South Africa was a war torn nation where there had been 82 fiercely fought battles against indigenous peoples like the Zulus, more recent settlers like the immigrant Boers, German colonials and more recently rebellious elements bordering on civil war. Added to this furore, a mix of contending civilizations was the discovery of gold and diamonds on the Rand and at Kimberly which added to the excitement and competition. It was through the English residents and Empire builders like Cecil Rhodes that the curse of Apartheid and its stark regulations were challenged. Cannon Fodder is the prequel to War, Wine & Valour (published in 2005), and documents the author's childhood up to his volunteering to fight for king and country during the Second World War. "Douglas Baker is a remarkable man and has written a remarkable book. As an infantryman, he rescued a wounded comrade at Gazala while under intensive cross fire. In the carnage at Alamein a shell took away most of his right shoulder blade. He retrained on Sherman tanks. Near Florence an 88mm shell burst on his tank perforating his right lung and almost severing his left arm. He absconded from hos­pital and fought once more at the front. Although just one man's experience of the war it is a gift to the historian with its engrossing accounts and accurate detail. It is also a fascinating insight into day-to-day events and personal feelings during this dif­ficult time. He is undecorated and receives no military pension from the British Government." William Roach MBE Douglas Baker, now in his eighty eighth year, is a medical doctor, academic and public speaker who has spent the past fifty years researching the hidden facets of human nature. The second volume of the author's autobi­ography, War, Wine and Valour describes in vivid detail the six arduous years he spent in the British Armed forces during World War Two. Born in England, but raised in South Africa, he responded to the threat of Nazism and barely sixteen years old enlisted in the Natal Mounted Rifles. His regiment faced Axis forces on five fronts, in Kenya, Central Abyssinia, Cyrenaica and with the British Eighth army he participat­ed in the Battle of El Alamein in which he was dangerously wounded. During the Italian Campaign he fought with the United States Fifth Army and again suf­fered near mortal injuries when his Sherman tank was hit with enemy shell fire. Through six years of active service he came to understand the psychology of men at bay when confronted repeatedly with bombardment, direct attack and sus­tained terror. The experience of war evoked in him curiosity and discovery which led to the mastery of medicine at Sheffield University. Interweaving the narrative are detailed descriptions and maps, thoroughly researched, of the major battles that the author and his comrades participated in. Their first hand experience adds richness to these events. This is a remarkable story of a remarkable man.
