How does one summarize a life? Could one truly cut it all down to actions done, or words said? Zachary Lawson narrates a few months of his life with complete honesty. From a shattered past, to the creation of new memories written on napkins in the smoking section at Denny's, he enlightens the reader to the realities of a life lived in a generation quickly destroying itself. Zachary Lawson isn't the protagonist, he isn't a hero, he's just a man trying to get there. This book won't warm hearts, but it just might open a generation's eyes to its alcoholism induced genocide. Desperation may be contagious, but it isn't the end.

Exploring age-old beauty and well-being traditions as well as the latest scientific findings on skin cells, this book--and the products and treatments it recommends--is the result of 15 years of research and experience. Jean-Louis Poiroux, founder of Cinq Mondes Spas, describes how the subtle interactions between body, mind, and skin can create a state of perfect equilibrium--and a feeling of outer and inner happiness, down to our very cells--or a state of imbalance, caused by unsuitable foods, stress, and cosmetics containing industrial byproducts and other chemicals. Drawing on the ancient teachings of Ayurveda and incorporating yoga, breathing exercises, and meditation as well as the natural active ingredients and micronutrients found in raw foods, super fruits, and vegetable super oils, he teaches you how to become happier, both inside and out.

English spas have a long and steamy history, from the thermal baths of Aquae Sulis in Bath to the stews of Southwark, the elegant pump rooms of Cheltenham and Buxton to the Victorian mania for hydrotherapy and Turkish hammams. 'The Secret History of English Spas' is an informative but light-hearted social and cultural history of our obsession with drinking and bathing in spa waters. It tells the stories of the rich, the famous, the poor and the sick, all of whom visited spas in hopes of curing everything from infertility to leprosy and gonorrhoea. It depicts the entrepreneurs who promoted these resorts - often on the basis of the most dubious scientific evidence - and the riotous and salacious social life enjoyed in spa towns, where moral health might suffer even as bodies were cleansed and purged. And yet English spas also offered an ideal of civility and politeness, providing a place where social classes and sexes could mingle and enjoy refined entertainments such as music and dance - all part of the fashionable pastime referred to as 'taking the waters'.
