Marijuana was a known treatment for epilepsy seizures until it was banned. "Check Your Understanding" questions, at the conclusion of each chapter, go beyond rote memory to stimulate process thinking and reasoning.
Body by Design achieves a marvelous interweaving of anatomy, physiology, and creation. Poet and author Gregory Lewis has given us one of the more readable compendiums tracing the birth and maturation of gay themes and styles in literature. I hate going shopping, and hate the pressure of finding something that will look good on me. The information is easy to relate to and absorb. Each hike was described accurately. Funny and insightful.
