With more than four million people playing or volunteering in Little League games every year, Little League is the institutional rite of passage into the quintessential American pastime.Play Ball! charts Little League's history from the earliest days and shows how, in many respects, its history parallels America's history: isolation in the beginning; rapid expansion; a civil war of sorts, followed by reconstruction; struggles over civil rights and gender equity; and foreign entanglements.

Play Ball! contains appendixes including winners of all Little League Baseball and Softball World Series, a year-by-year history of Little League, countries in Little League, and lists of some of the famous people who played the game as children, including Kevin Costner, Mark McGwire, and George W. Bush.

The first edition of this book was a groundbreaking, research-based clinical guide to the neurofeedback treatment of ADHD. This second edition maintains this high standard and has been extensively revised and expanded to include new research, an extensive number of new images, tables, and graphs (some in full color!), and innovative clinical concepts and issues. The author provides an expert overview of ADHD in terms of large scale brain networks and dysfunctional mechanisms of attention, vigilance, self-regulation, and executive functions. The most common forms of neurofeedback to treat ADHD are detailed, including traditional amplitude neurofeedback, LORETA neurofeedback, and slow cortical potential neurofeedback.Neurofeedback is a psychophysiological treatment that normalizes the deviant brainwave activity. The author explains how neurofeedback for ADHD specifically strengthens "self-regulation" through improved balance within specific brain regions and networks; these gains in self-regulation abilities result in restored vigilance with enhanced metastability. In short, neurofeedback for ADHD is a non-drug treatment that fosters vigilance and self-regulation in ADHD.Werner Van den Bergh is neurologist and psychiatrist in Leuven, Belgium where he founded "Centrum Vigilant." Dr. Van den Bergh has specialized in a clinical-behavioral-neurological approach of ADHD since 1995, and he published several books and articles on this topic, including the first edition of this book entitled, "Neurofeedback and State Regulation in ADHD: A Therapy Without Medication." He teaches QEEG for the Flemish Psychiatric Association in Belgium, and he is the co-founder of the Flemish self-support association for adults with ADHD.

SEEING GOD THROUGH THE HUMAN BODY-- A Doctor’s Meditation on the Human Miracle is a head-on confrontation with the theory of evolution. In it, medical doctor and creationist Dr Robert Peprah-Gyamfi uses his leaning and insight as a doctor to defuse the theory of evolution and makes a case in favour of an Intelligent Designer, God Almighty, in the creation of the human body. Appealing to common sense and drawing upon his medical knowledge, the author argues that the functioning and design of the various organs of the body—the brain, heart, liver, kidneys, etc.—are so intricate and marvellous that they could only have come about through remarkably clever forethought and planning.The breast of a mother producing milk to sustain her helpless child after birth; the heart in our chest pumping blood to keep us alive; the liver carrying on complex synthetic and detoxification reactions to help sustain us—all of these and several other wonders occurring in our body point to the hand of a Supreme Being, God Almighty.
