When Torey Hayden first met fifteen-year-old Kevin, he was barricaded under a table. Desperately afraid of the world around him, he hadn’t spoken a word in eight years. He was considered hopeless, incurable, but Hayden refused to believe it.

"Camouflage" is the 10th studio album by funk band Rufus (and their 6th album featuring Chaka Khan), released on the MCA Records label in 1981. "Camouflage" peaked at #15 on Billboard's R&B Albums chart and stalled at #98 on Pop. The album includes the singles "Sharing the Love" (US R&B #8, US Pop #91) and "Better Together" (US R&B #66, US Dance #56). Following the release of "Camouflage", Chaka Khan recorded her 3rd, 4rth and 5th solo albums "What Cha' Gonna Do For Me" (1981), "Echoes of an Era" (1982) and "Chaka Khan" (1982) and Rufus recorded their 3rd album without Khan, "Seal in Red" (1983), before they reunited for one final album together later in 1983, the double live/studio set "Stompin' at the Savoy – Live".

Adrian Crowley is a singer, composer, songwriter, lyricist from Galway, based in Dublin and was born in Sliema, Malta. "Some Blue Morning" is his seventh studio album. Crowley achieves a number of interesting and brilliant advances with this collection. The compositions move between sparse dream-state ghost-songs and song-stories to all-out epic numbers with tense nerve-ending strings. We hear essential contributions from members of London string ensemble Geese, cellist Kevin Murphy and singer Katie Kim, amongst others. ‘Some Blue Morning’ was recorded in Dublin with long time friend Steve Shannon.

This book is the first volume of a compendium of the global distribution some 3500 aquatic macrophyte species occurring in inland freshwater and brackish waterbodies worldwide, highlighting aspects of their ecology including endemism, world rarity, ecozone/ macroregional occurrence, ploidy state, species age, uses, and endangered status. Although similar books exist for local regions (e.g., the Pantanal wetlands of Brazil) none provides complete and detailed information for macrophytes at global scale, so this book provides a novel resource on the distribution and ecology of macrophytes around the world.
