A dysfunction family's tragic circumstance, crisis, estrangement, abandonment, alienation, coping, addictions, abusive relationships, enabling escapes, bittersweet rendezvousing, life-saving intervention, harmful allegations, and pursuit of reconciliation are at the heart of this dramatic story inspired by an anonymous victim. Within each human being is the instinctive will and courage to live regardless of condition and sacrifice. To survive self destruction, a victim, real or imagined, might choose to decisively accuse another person or persons of his or her calamitous behavior and plight. When doing so, the egocentric victim cunningly attempts to victimize the second party without personal consequence or remorse. Furthermore, to survive, the real or imagined victim might also decide to falsely accuse an innocent second party; actually believing that alleged person or persons committed the disastrous behavior for which the accuser and or a third party are responsible. Thus simmers the crux of Consenting Victims.

"Keep your eye on the ball!" may be good advice--but it is impossible to do. The batter can track the ball until it is about five feet in front of the plate, but then he falls behind because the ball is moving too fast. In Keep Your Eye on the Ball, Robert G. Watts and A. Terry Bahill--engineers by vocation, baseball fans by avocation--have devised a series of experiments that put some of baseball's most cherished myths to the test. By applying physics, psychology, physiology, and other scientific principles to baseball, the authors have resolved, once and for all, some of the controversial issues that have intrigued fans for decades, including: * Do curveballs really curve? Do fastballs ris...
