On June 1, 2002, dozens of "weekend warriors"and other after-work athletes set off from Saint John, New Brunswick, for a day of competitive adventure: trail running, mountain biking, and sea kayaking on the legendary Bay of Fundy, home to the world's highest tides. However, as a storm swept across the coast, what had begun as a fun introduction to the fast-growing sport of adventure racing turned into an anxious struggle to survive that ultimately drew two young men together in a fateful encounter. The shocking conclusion to the race continues to reverberate throughout the international community of outdoor adventurers and extreme athletes. "Fatal Tide: When the Race of a Lifetime Goes Wrong" dramatizes, in the storytelling style of such non-fiction bestsellers as "Into the Wild" and "The Perfect Storm," precisely what happened at the controversial Fundy Multi-Sport Race. The book transports readers onto the turbulent Bay of Fundy, as competitors fight against the elements and face their deepest fears, while race organizers, Coast Guard crews, and fishermen rush to their rescue. As the tragedy unfolds, "Fatal Tide" also uncovers the genetics and psychology of risk-taking, the rise of reality-TV guru Mark Burnett, the dark history behind the science of hypothermia, as well as the emotional and legal fallout from the first death of an adventure racer in North America.

When the Race of a Lifetime Goes Wrong

Fatal Tide

First published in the cult British kidÕs comic Oink! Back in 1986, Psycho Gran is the psychotically demented brain-child of cartoonist and comic book editor, David Leach Ð winner of Channel FourÕs Come Dine With Me, editor, and writer of the Wallace & Gromit newspaper strip and the Adventure Time Magazine, and editor of Roman DirgeÕs Lenore. David is also the co-creator of cult 1990s strip 'The DriverÕ for British comic Toxic! Psycho Gran (or Psycho Besta as sheÕs known in Norway) is a five-foot high, mauve-haired, bespectacled, psychotic granny with a pan-dimensional, sentient handbag called Percy, a flying dog called Archie and a pathological loathing of rudeness. Join her for an all-new, 29-page, full-color journey into a surrealist slapstick world of rampaging kaiju, neo-Nazi skinheads, bag-snatchers, death-row inmates, explosive diarrhoea and those annoying SOBs who will insist on using their bloody cellphones in cinemas. She puts the Old into Old Skool Kicking! "While old comedy characters wither in the creaking care home of bad stewardship, David LeachÕs old but un-withered, bad, batty, toothless, ruthless, fearless, frightening, horrible, hilarious, Psycho Gran marches on in her surgical stockings, getting stronger by the day. Bless him!" Ð David Lloyd, artist and co-creator of 'V for VendettaÕ

Jacques Lacan is probably the most influential psychoanalyst since Freud. In fact, around half of all psychoanalysts follow the Lacanian school of thought, yet most people know little about him and his unique approach. While his brilliance is clear, Lacan's ideas can be very difficult to understand. He wrote in an obscure, almost impenetrable style that casually referred to his vast knowledge of philosophy, linguistics and mathematics. Renowned pyschoanalyst Philip Hill introduces and explains these complex themes and ideas with clarity in structured chapters.
