Download or read book THE CHRONICLES OF MANIA written by Brian W. Walker and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2024-06-06 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is not about bipolar disorder but, rather, what the severe mania and delusions associated with the illness can do to someone when it is unknown, unchecked, and unbridled for more than fifty years! Brian Walker’s entire life has been ruled and governed by the mania that results from being bipolar. This mania has driven him to do things so far and beyond the grade that, in many cases, his actions and behaviors seem to defy all boundaries of sensibility. Whether it’s building a two-man submarine to explore the subsea world in Fiji to inventing a toy of unbelievable success to creating a rocket to be the first person to the edge of space in a home-built missile, he has always pushed the limits of sanity in many of his projects. Even after decades of failures, where seemingly everything that he attempted to do was relegated to the trash heap of broken dreams, he always lived by the saying “Success is going from failure to failure without a loss of enthusiasm!” Trying to thrive and survive in a “normal” world with an abnormal brain has never been easy. His life has been an ongoing effort to discover the “next big thing,” as well as to just be able to get through another day. And his journey thus far has been an amazing one!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The latest book in Alexander McCall Smith's popular 44 Scotland Street series is a sheer delight. Summer has come to Scotland Street. The long days have prompted its denizens to engage in flights of fancy. Some, like the Duke of Johannesburg’s plan to create a microlite seaplane, are literal flights, and some, like the vain Bruce Anderson’s idea of settling down with one of his many admirers, are more metaphorical. With the domineering Irene off pursuing academic challenges, Stuart and Bertie are free to indulge in summer fun. Stuart reconnects with an old acquaintance over refreshing peppermint tea while Bertie takes his friend Ranald Braveheart Macpherson to the circus. But their trip to the big top becomes rather more than the pleasant diversion they were hoping for. Once again, Scotland Street teems with the daily triumphs and challenges of those who call it home, and provides a warm, wise, and witty chronicle of the affairs in this corner of the world.
