Picture a former elite athlete, successful chiropractor, and father of five being told that he has a terminal brain tumour. When it happened to Keith Livingstone, he had every excuse to immerse himself into a dark maelstrom of hopelessness. With no known long-term survivors of glioblastoma multiforme at that time and with doctors unable to tell him how to get better, he was getting a death sentence. But he ignored the hopelessness of his situation and got on with the job of living, enjoying himself and making light of the situation. He also studied natural health and traditional medicine to see what he might do—if anything—to help his situation. Slowly and steadily, he has regained his health, with a couple of setbacks along the way. His progress would not have been possible if he had chosen to accept that he had a terminal condition. Join the author as he looks back at his early life, family, friends, and the philosophy that has helped him wage a brave battle staring down a beast.

Karl Polanyi: The Limits of the Market is the first comprehensive introduction to Polanyi’s ideas and legacy. It assesses not only the texts for which he is famous – prepared during his s...
How can athletes train for maximum performance and joy? The Joyful Athlete shares the findings of a veteran runner who worked as an editor at Runner's World and has raced at distances from 100 yards to 100K (62.2 miles). After receiving a master's degree from Stanford University, author George Beinhorn was paralyzed from the chest down for three years. No sooner had he recovered than a spiritual teacher urged him to start running—there would be no time for self-pity. For the next 40 years, he researched ways to make training both scientific and personally rewarding. Studying the careers of hundreds of athletes, he found that the most successful shared two qualities. First, they were expans...
According to the authors of this book, who explore evolutionary theory from a clear Christian perspective, the common view of conflict between evolutionary theory and Christian faith is mistaken. Written by contributors representing the natural sciences, philosophy, theology, and the history of science, this thought-provoking work is informed by both solid scientific knowledge and keen theological insight. The three sections of the book address (1) relevant biblical, historical, and scientific background, (2) the scientific evidence for an evolving creation, and (3) theological issues commonly raised in connection with evolution, including the nature of God's creative activity, the meaning o...
