Summary

The Loch Ness Monster, bigfoot and the yeti have long held a fascination for people the world over. Debates about their actual existence or what they might really be have continued for decades, if not centuries. Known also as cryptids, they have spawned a body of research known as cryptozoology. This entertaining book looks at the evidence of these mysterious monsters and others and explores what they might really be (if they exist at all), why they have been represented as they have and the development of cryptozoology and how it has collected data to discover more about these unknown creatures.

    I hope that you will find the information helpful, useful and profitable. 
    The ideas in this ebook on various aspects of the Internet including using it to your advantage is organised into 17 chapters of about 500-600 words each. 
    I hope that it will interest those who are hoping to make money on line, and those who want to attract more traffic to an offline business by using the often ‘free’ resources that the Internet has to offer. It will also be useful to bloggers who just want to make friends all over the world and chat with them. Luckily, many aspects of the Internet are still free, especially if you don’t allow yourself to be manipulated by the self-proclaimed Internet gurus, who are waiting to pounce on unsuspecting newbies. 
    As an added bonus, I am granting you permission to use the content on your own website or in your own blogs and newsletter, although it is better if you rewrite them in your own words first.

    Casanova's Guide to Medicine -...

    Forget the stereotype!  Giacomo Casanova's (1725-1798) reputation as libertine has sadly eclipsed his talents as scholar, linguist, prolific writer and manqué doctor. Fortunately for us, he wrote his memoirs at the end of his life on the advice of his doctor to control his propensity to depression. Although these often have been harvested for information on political, cultural and social aspects of his time, the insights they give about medical practice and the lived experiences of illness have been largely neglected.  This book addresses this deficiency through exploring in detail what Casanova wrote on a variety of conditions that include venereal disease and female complaints, duelling injuries, suicide, skin complaints and stroke and even piles. These descriptions provide alternately grim and amusing insights about public health measures, the doctor-patient relationship, medical etiquette and the dominant medical theories of the era. To help the reader understand the historical significance of the medical subjects covered, the author integrates throughout the book an extensive historical context drawn from contemporary sources of information and current history of medicine literature

    Lynn Soles made her career about creating beauty – as an artist, art teacher, tattoo artist and owner of a “permanent beauty” clinic. Then her doctors told her she had cancer. She had to choose: Die soon and ugly from cancer or enter a long course of treatments that might allow her to regain the life she’d known.  
    This remarkable memoir and guidebook, written in the course of her first year of treatment, gives real-life guidance for best supporting others through long-term illnesses and surgeries. Practical tips describe:how a cancer friend is different from other friends; things to say (and things never to say!) to your friend in treatment; essential cancer self-care tips for the habitual Superwoman;specific ways to ask for and give help to a person exhausted by cancer treatments.  
    You’ll laugh with Lynn as she and her family adjust to the changes treatment causes. You’ll be amazed by her contractor husband’s commitment to support her–even applying her eyelashes to the sounds of crooner Dean Martin. You’ll sense her longing as family holiday traditions, client care schedules, and the most mundane of daily tasks are revised to accommodate her chemotherapy-induced exhaustion. You’ll marvel at the perseverance cancer treatment can teach and learn to respect the times when a patient needs to rest in the “cancer cocoon.”  
    Hollywood stars rely on beauty professionals like Lynn to keep them physically beautiful right to the day their body is viewed in its coffin. Lynn’s cancer journey will inspire you to reconsider whether your hope rests in the beautiful things of this world that will fade away, and to rethink what it means to leave a beautiful, eternal Christian legacy.

    Binge Eating Disorder: Step-by-Step Guide to Prevention and Recovery from Binge Eating 
    Do you consume abnormally large amounts of food in one sitting? Do you doubt your untimely binging is a problem? Are you someone who is not comfortable revealing you suffer from binge eating disorder? If your answer to any of the above questions is a "Yes", then you have got hold of the right audiobook. 
    Binge eating is a serious disorder that masks itself as overeating and can go undetected for long periods of time. It may surprise you, but binge eating affects more people than bulimia and anorexia. Consuming abnormally large amounts of food in one sitting becomes a regular feature in the life of binge eaters. Most of these individuals don't even recognize there's something wrong with them until they get overweight or obese.   
    Part of the reason why this happens is because there is a lack of awareness among people with regards to this disorder. The symptoms are often passed off as overeating, and most people think it's normal for someone to eat until their guts hurt. 
    The very reason we wanted to come up with an audiobook for people suffering from binge eating disorder was to spread awareness about it so they don’t face the issues many people did and ignore the problem. 
    Through the course of the audiobook, we intend to openly discuss binge eating in detail. Until now, if you thought you might have to live with this disorder forever, this guide will prove you wrong.  
    Here is a quick snapshot of what is covered in the audiobook:Details of BED (binge eating disorder)Symptoms of BEDPreventive measuresSteps to eliminate the habitFacts on binge eatingRole of the society, family, and media toward eating disordersHabits that trigger binging
