To macabre painter Dorian Wilde, art is a weapon. Dissatisfied with life and where it is leading him, he looks to himself and to his partner, Leland, for answers that cannot be. Tyria Vane is a spoken word poet who has never felt part of any clique or crowd. She is haunted by dreams of an abusive childhood that she can only make sense of through words, and with the help of her lover, Adelaide. An unexpected introduction sparks new promise in Dorian's creative heart, in Tyria's poetic soul, and they begin to understand that only together are they able to satiate their weird lusts and personal tortures. Is art love or is love art? Set between the shadows of Manhattan and Brooklyn, what could have been a masterpiece in paint and prose might end up being the worst thing that anyone can imagine.

The present volume covers the physiology of the visual system beyond the optic nerve. It is a continuation of the two preceding parts on the photochemistry and the physiology of the eye, and forms a bridge from them to the fourth part on visual psychophysics. These fields have all developed as independent speciali ties and need integrating with each other. The processing of visual information in the brain cannot be understood without some knowledge of the preceding mechanisms in the photoreceptor organs. There are two fundamental reasons, ontogenetic and functional, why this is so: 1) the retina of the vertebrate eye has developed from a specialized part of the brain; 2) in processing their data the eyes follow physiological principles similar to the visual brain centres. Peripheral and central functions should also be discussed in context with their final synthesis in subjective experience, i. e. visual perception. Microphysiology and ultramicroscopy have brought new insights into the neuronal basis of vision. These investigations began in the periphery: HARTLINE'S pioneering experiments on single visual elements of Limulus in 1932 started a successful period of neuronal recordings which ascended from the retina to the highest centres in the visual brain. In the last two decades modern electron microscopic techniques and photochemical investigations of single photoreceptors further contributed to vision research.

Billy the Pirate is the captain of a flying ship. To find treasure, he ventures in caves and enchanted tombs, he battles enemy pirates in the sky, and oh yes, he has one leg. But that doesn't stop him. In a land with magical creatures, evil sorcerers and magical temples, Billy hunts for more than gold and jewels, he searches for items left behind by old sorcerers, magical items. But when he meets Leona, the daughter of a sorcerer, he learns he is in for more than he bargained for, and she learns that there is more to Billy than meets the eye.

The Poison Princess is the dark fairy tale of a virtuous princess who is forever twisted by a chaotic spell's backlash. Poisoned in an attempted assassination, Ruby Willow survives - though at a terrible cost. Her every toxic thought floods to the surface, as a deadly purple venom begins to drip ceaselessly from her mouth. Altered in both body and mind, Ruby is set on a journey to reclaim her rightful place in the kingdom while striving to protect those she loves. Hounded by her darkest emotions and desires, the princess' courage is tested, as she must decide what insidious roads she will travel along for the justice she seeks and what pieces of her soul she must forfeit in exchange.
